Breaking Down Backbreaker

Re: Breaking Down Backbreaker

^^^ Yeah. There are no implications. It's just concern and a misunderstanding that people have of how licensing works.

A misunderstanding based mainly on 2k's paranoid *****footing around with APF.

Re: Breaking Down Backbreaker

^^^ Good point.

For anyone still worried, please refer to Maximum Football on PC. It's been around for years and let's you customize at a virtually unlimited level. There has never been one lawsuit attempted against the product.

And anyone who judges a game before actually playing it is foolish..

What if I buy Backbreaker AND Madden?

[BedBug]

Anyone who buys this game over Madden is foolish.

^^Ignore that

Ignoring the fact that MaxFB is a terrible game aside from the customization, you have a very good point.

I think the biggest issue is the animations. They suck. He's using keyframing, no mo-cap. He should invest in at least a simple mo-cap system like opti-track (it's only like 6 grand). It would do wonders for his game.

That said, the game was actually built to be a text-based game, then a game focusing on strategy. The graphical parts were thrown in later for wider commercialization.

Yeah, but in my opinion even the non-graphical stuff isn't too good. I do agree that in the current state no graphics at all would be better than what he has. I do like the play creator though.

I've never heard of this game, so I went to Youtube to see more.

You're correct, that game looked horrible. I only needed to see one scene; the QB "ice skated" right thru his RB to get under center. That was enough for me.

punctuation is so overrated

Dont too much care for the "team your controlling always being on the bottom". That's fine for Defense but for Offense I want to see the field ahead...not behind me. Other than that; it's a fresh niche and could be what some of us are looking for from a Football game.

So wait, this game is always in split-screen?

um, if the team your controlling is always on the bottom, and you're on offense, the offense would be on the bottom...

meaning you'd be looking up at the field ahead... aka the same orientation as madden on offense (albeit in a closer "3rd person" view)

Re: Breaking Down Backbreaker

I like the physics, but i dont know if the game will feel like football. No NFL Teams and i didnt see any refs or chain gang on field. Also the jukes look plain and boring. Sometimes u need canned animations i guess. Just execute them correctly i guess. Also how will passing with analog work? Also i dont like the defensive vew. Hopefully u can change the cameras.
