Re: Backbreaker Video: Team Customization

Anybody know if it is going to be possible to create helmets with things other than the logo on it? For instance if I wanted to create a Michigan winged helmet. In the other thread, with the screenshots from this video, it looks like you can add layers to the helmet just like with the logo unless I am mistaken.

haha, I had to look it up...didn't know what you meant....



but yes you should be able to....you are just going to have to do half of it...and just copy over the other side....

for other college teams, and NFL teams like the Steelers..... you can create 2 different logos on each side of the helmet.

Re: Backbreaker Video: Team Customization

Any word on if we can create alternate uniforms for teams or just one home and away? It looks like it in the video they have 2 different home unis for the Maulers team, not sure if those are just two different primary home uni designs or one is an alt.

I didn't see any alternate options, only home and away.....you could just "copy" your team and create a new team with the copied version and just change the uniforms.......that would work for online games....and exhibition games.

so you would have 2 saved teams
team1 regular team with home/away uniforms
team2 same roster but 2 alternate uniforms to choose from

but this way wouldn't work for season or road to Backbreaker mode.

WOWEE! As a graphic designer having logged hours upon hours on creative software I can tell you this has me quite excited. I hope the implementation is easy to use because it looks very deep and I can easily see people getting overwhelmed by it.

Another thing I'd love to add: I am loving the menus. Everything looks sleek, clean and has a completely different interface than what has become the norm in sports games. You can really start to see the outside influences the developers are pulling in.

Much like APF, I can see myself spending days on end in the team creation modes.

500 layers on logo and 1000 layers for the field. IM SOLD. I was not expecting this level of customization. WOW.

[bigsmallwood]

This is a SUPER job by the devs for the level of customization offered! Should be fun creating All sorts of teams cough*NFL*cough*,cough* lol

sweet im going to make up my own league...

Re: Backbreaker Video: Team Customization

i cant believe i just got hyped watching a customization video...caught a few nuggets too:

1) liked how it was somewhat similar to apf2k8 with the picking of what kinda offense and defense you wanted(balanced, etc) and they also had a team bias ie agility, strength, etc

2) also caught how they had some simplistic but necessary descriptions of the teams in matchup screen so u know who ur up against...ie "punishing backfield", "smart db's" "smart runners" "run support db's" etc

3) menus look futuristic and BADAZZ

4) nice touch in the matchup screen where they had the 2 teams guys lined up and the one was taunting the other

i cant lie i was bummed with the no fatigue and no injuries, but this GAME LOOKS EPIC and nicely polished. it looks put together very well and the whole look and feel of it just screams amazing and looks like the game will have plenty of personality. i gotta support this just on the effort alone. OK backbreaker....im giving it up to ya please dont dissappoint

Re: Backbreaker Customization Video

A big selling point for me would be filesharing customization options. I know guys out there are going to do some wonderful recreations that I'm not talented enough to do myself. Hopefully it's possible to download someone else's files for this game... I still have my fingers crossed.

Even if the game doesn't have a file sharing system built into the game which at this point looks like it won't , there will be other ways to download rosters. Somebody in another thread even posted how it could be done on both the PS3 or 360. And there are ways to get around some of the 360's restrictions in terms game saves having to be tied to a certain profile. For the PS3 it should just be as simple as using a USB since those restrictions don't exist. The only way these wouldn't work is if there was some restriction actually built directly into the game which I highly doubt would happen. They may not make it as easy and covenant as it could be by having a file share system built into the game, but that doesn't mean they don't want or would restrict sharing through other methods.

So I am not really worried about being able to get other people's roster/files because there are other methods/ways to do that. What I worry about is will the player editing and creation be too limited to actually replicate certain NFL players in terms of their abilities and tendencies. The indications so far is that individual player customization may be very limited compared to how deep the other customization options are.
