Since Backbreaker is an on-the-field football experience, does any one know if developers will also implement the following:
A) '2 hand on the ball' button?
B) 'football clench/tuck' button?
C) 'catch' button?
Having all three options would be tremendous and critical additions to the running and football experience.
'2 hand on the ball' & 'football clench/tuck' button
The complete experience would require the gamer to be aware of the football, defenders, and the open field. This would add another dimension to the football experience. Full user control.
A completely unexpected, blind sided hit would jar the ball loose from a ball carrier if he wasn't cautious. An open field, helmet-to-ball hit would jar the ball loose if the ball carrier isn't cautious. The element of surprise. Fumbles are no longer a random event. There is a method to its madness.
As you're running up field, it's difficult to spot trailing defenders. Lots of stripe fumbles come by ways of defenders punching the ball out of runners' loose grips, or simply grabbing the runner's arm. Gamers who choose not to hit the 'clench/tuck' or '2 hand on the ball' buttons would risk fumbling the ball.
'Catch button.'
Full user control. If this was added, no longer would the gamer be able to simply move his football player under the spot (i.e. football shadow) and subconsciously expect the punt/kick off returner to automatically catch the ball. The gamer must trigger the 'catch' button. Gamers not aware, your punt/kick returner risk muffing the catch. Muffed catches are no longer random events. There is a method to its madness. Gamers not aware, and your wide receivers will not make the catch. Catching the ball is no longer a random or completely given event.
Full user control with added gameplay difficulty. No longer is it a random event.

Actually, I think the button that allows you to stare down receivers lets you as well hold the ball with both hands when you are a runningback or receiver. Hope that helps.
