Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)
IGN has posted their preview of Backbreaker.
"Controlling your player as he makes his way down the field is easy. Holding the right trigger sends him into aggressive mode where more powerful moves open up. While holding the trigger you'll not only run faster, but you'll also be able to lower your head into a battering ram and stiff arm guys out of the way. To land a stiff arm properly you'll need to make sure that the ball is being carried in the proper hand. Unlike in Madden where this is handled automatically by the AI, in Backbreaker you'll need to press the A button (X on PS3) to switch hands.

I'm loving the low camera angles. Hopefully we can create NFL teams and Logo's and that they have a EA Locker style thing so the community can upload their best work.
Looks pretty good, not perfect but I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.Megatron -

Im sorry, this game has yet to show me anything worth playing it.
To me, it just looks like another Blitz game with better hits.Comment

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)
sounds good. As usual I'll keep an eye on the game until it releases. I'm happy their not comprimizing to some minor but vocal people that have posted on their forums since the beginning. A lot of people just want madden w/ euphoria. I'm glad they're putting us in the action like the roadie cam from gears, and doing something different.
Keep that camera angle on both offense and defense
It's like a beefed up superstar mode w/ balls.
Some of the writters complaints weren't clear to me either. Like seeing the guy with the ball - was that because he just wanted to know who had it while playing defense, or that taking an angle to cut off the runner would result in you losing sight of him?
That would seem odd since you can focus on the closest defender on offense, so maybe you can focus on a targeted offensive player while playing defense.
I'm glad to hear it's progressing and they're moving forward.
Now, I'd like to hear why all the embargo crap? chase?Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.Comment

Embargo was moved up to tomorrow. I assume IGN got special treatment because they're IGN.I won't ask for Christmas or birthday gifts if you subscribe to the Operation Sports Newsletter (Not Just Another Roster Update). I write it, and it hits your inbox every Friday morning (for freeeeeee). We also have an official OS Discord you can now join.Comment

No because it BB was to allowed that then the NFL and EA can sue the company for stilling copyrights. BB can not do that and is not allow to even have anythat kind of stuff on their svr. If that happens then that company will be out of business.

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)
I am not all that happy about it. It looks good graphic wise. But it still seems to blitz like to me. Glowing red ball and the player glowing red. Just doesn't feel real to me. Now if the glowing was not there then I might give it a better reveiw. Even when it comes out. The still need to do more work to it. I might be jumping the gun some. But I will wait until I sse more info on it.Comment

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)
I think the receiver lighting up red is alright since you need to see who your throwing to, but the ball is kinda weird but easily something to overlook. It annoys me to see people compare this to an update Blitz. I honestly don't see any likeness to Blitz besides the lighted up things. This game looks great, and every time I see it, it always reminds me of Any Given Sunday. Hopefully it makes it out sometime this summer or fall. NCAA (which is lacking big time right now, Madden (which is excelling greatly), and this may put me into football overload, if that's possibleComment
