+1000

i never understood the thrive to play franchise. people go nuts over beaten the CPU for 30 season

+10000000

This game looks awesome. I am officially pumped.

And they said it will have split-screen co-op, so I wonder if there will be online co-op too?

All Pro Football 2K8 didn't have a franchise mode either, but that didn't stop me from playing the game for a full year-and-a-half against friends both locally and online.

I will take a game with great core mechanics and great head-to-head play over a game with a million different ways to micromanage a franchise and beat up on a helpless, predictable AI opponent any day of the week.

The Backbreaker Devs said that this game is not made for the Hardcore Players (OSers), It is made for casual gamers. That being said it has the potential to be fun, but this game will not replace Madden or NCAA for me or anyone on this forum.

the Devs might have said that.....but the controls in the game would give you a different impression.... example.

to stiff arm correctly....you have to push "X" on the PS3, if the ball is not on the correct side of the body....then you can stiff arm...but you have to time it by the distance of where the defender is.....or else it won't be a good stiff arm or you'll just get out right tackled.

maybe there is an easy mode for casuals...... but this control scheme looks fun and realistic.... I remember switching the ball while running in Madden so if I fumbled it would go out of bounce...... I forgot how the new Maddens are... i think it did it automatically for you when you pushed x (both switched the ball and stiff armed)

yeah that should be interesting. the trailer looked nice and tackles look exaggerated like they said but realistic in terms of physics and momentum.

its nice to endure a new camera angle and approach and they said they not trying to compete with madden so they making this game for the sheer joy of FOOTBALL(gotta respect that)

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)

I don't like the graphics and the glowing red football is weird.

But the animations are amazing. For years I have been saying that Madden/NCAA will not be great until they have a real time physics engine. This engine would eliminate the terrible suction effect and make it so 300 lb. DTs can't pirouette on a dime at full speed.

EA: buy this engine and implement it for the Xbox720/PS4 versions of Madden/NCAA.

Yep, the intricacies of the running game plus the new passing system that actually makes you go through reads instead of being able to survey the entire field at once look like they will make this a pretty hardcore football game.

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)

what about franchise? the statement in the beginning has be worried as I will not buy a game that doesn't have it

same here. that's what killed APF for me. one season and done. can't do that anymore.

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)

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.

and you know this for sure how???????? are u a lawyer?

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)

Now why would in the world would you pass up on a game like this just because it doesn't have a franchise mode? I mean, that's just bizarre dude. If it is the future, technology wise, then WHY skip it because of that?

IMO, this game will be somewhat lame because of it being the first one out of the gate but, once they improve it and/or EA gets a hold of it for Madden 2012 or whatever then look out!

FINALLY a physics based football game (Oh wait...no franchise? forget it!)

The statement leads me to believe that it doesn't even have a season mode. It's just play a game mode.

same here. that's what killed APF for me. one season and done. can't do that anymore.

Read what Chase said. They didnt go into any modes. People are just assuming.

If it's a logo editor like in Forza, I don't see how EA could do anything. It's not the developers making the logos, it's the users making them out of different shapes just like in Forza. Microsoft doesn't have any the rights to any NFL logos, but in Forza, people have created NFL logos on their cars and I didn't see any lawsuits.

Check out the Lions car someone made with the editor..pretty sweet:

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)

Its been said that the red ball only happens during replays and since that is the same video/pictures that they showed before when talking about replays, I would assume that is the reason the ball is red.

That really doesn't make it any better.

Re: Backbreaker Preview w/ New Trailer (IGN)

I'll check this game out, but I'm not all that excited about it like I was last year. Glowing stuff doesn't exactly appeal to me, and I'm still seeing too much circus action going on, so regardless of what anyone says, I see an arcade football game.
