I'm sure people have posted youtube links already, but here's another in HD.

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

I don't understand the difference in scanning the field with or without LT. I would expect that without focus mode I can target any area of the field, even an empty area to throw the ball away while being pressure, but it doesn't say it explicitly.

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

I'm officially sold. I was a little on the fence recently, but this pushed my hype meter far enough to buy it on day one.

I also want to play the demo to seal the deal , but this game looks to be something very different, fun and engaging.

Just over 2 more weeks!

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

I am sold. I liken the passing to Tecmo Bowl on Performance Enhancing Drugs. I am officially sold like an inexpensive foreclosed home in a nice neighborhood. June 1st could not get here soon enough.

This is looking sweet, my interest level went way up. I'm curious why they didn't show the end of that long bomb though.

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

I liked the part where the pass was thrown too early and the QB/WR mis-timed it. That shows there's a chance route-based passing is IN this game. That'd be a huge accomplishment IMO!

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

Using LT allows you to zoom in on a receiver for increased accuracy. I don't think LT is meant to be used while scanning the field but rather to quickly lock onto a receiver.

This. Increased accuracy but less peripheral vision which could lead to a sack if you aren't careful.

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

I know, but then I can't think of Shugun. So I will leave it on. I mean they don't have real teams, so how real is going to play? In all kidding aside I like what I am seeing. I don't like the running animation, but I like the passing game.

Same here on the running animations, i can't shake the feeling that their legs move too fast in normal motion, doesnt look like full strides are being taken.. (minor complaint) ..slow motion looks great.

Ok, how do you throw the ball away then? Maybe it hasn't been implemented?

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

I know but, I figured the action button was called that just for pre-snap.

It might be to throw the ball away as the QB.

Re: Passing Video

Passing controls look great. I wonder how much after touch there is tho. I mean, can I throw high/low by pushing up/down or is it just for leading a wr.

Also nice they showed people you can turn off all the glowing players. People can stop whining about that.

The only concern I have about the vid is the pass defense looked a little slow to react at times, but developers usually use the easy levels for vids like these.

It looks like you will be able to throw low and high as well.

Below, are 3 clips from the video.

Clip #1 explain how to scan the field and switch receivers by holding the RS left or right.

Clilp #2 explain how to switch receivers in focus mode by holding down the L trigger while moving the RS left or right.
**Notice how the right stick diagram only has arrows to the left and right in clips 1 & 2**

Clip #3 explain how to lead receivers by adding a little after touch on the right stick immediately following the pass.
**Notice how the right stick diagram has arrows in all directions**

This will be sweet for WR/DB height mismatches.

Re: Passing Video

Does anyone else think that the bomb that he throws goes too far too fast? It may just be the angle, but it looks like that ball was going to be thrown 80 yards and it was moving pretty fast.

It was the angle, he was standing on his own 45 and flung it to about the 15. Any college and most High school QB's can do that.

By employing Jamarcus Russell!
