Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

[june1004]

Well, if you got to IGN's website and find the section for Backbreaker videos, there is one video that is pure gameplay from the defensive side of things. It shows a couple videos of linebackers rushing the QB and a couple more where the linebackers follows the running back to tackle him for a loss, and there are even a couple plays of the person dropping back into coverage. I would suggest going over there if you are curious how the game looks while being played on defense, but as for a video showcasing the controls and such, that hasn't been released yet. I certainly would anticipate something like that this Friday, as that seems to be NM's trend for releasing these videos.

But to offer something to that comment, the defensive side of the ball looks like the most fun in the game. Trying to be a middle linebacker and read the QB's eyes and play coverage looks incredible, as does laying the smackdown on an unsuspecting running back who didn't even see you coming. Check out the video if you don't know what I'm saying.

^^What does the escape button do on defense, it seems to only appear when the dlineman is engaged, could that be a rookie mode thing, I was under the assumption that all moves, even on defense are done with the right stick. Defense should be fun, I see myself getting burned a lot going for the pick.

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

It appears as though entering aggressive mode takes away your "camera locking on ball in background" ability, which is really neat! Nice to have that risk/reward factor in there.

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

I agree. Guys get crack-backed/blind sided all the time while zoning in on one player to hit or pass to.

Thanks for posting the G4TV link. I haven't seen this vid.

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

Oh, and just one other question. Do you guys think they worked on the player voices at all? If it's still like that in the retail version and it can't be turned down/off, I'm going to be pissed.

They had to of.....haha...just butchered English, sorry...

but yeah because there were points in the early builds where on offense, the QB was still calling the play after the ball was snapped....and that is a major no-no......it's a simple bug I'm sure they fixed......alot of us brought that up at the official BB forum.

about turning off the voices...you should be able to....I'm sure there will be sliders for sounds in the game, from fans to Players and PA guy.

but I expect them to have different voices spread out for variety...

That throwing animation (deep pass) did not look right. The mechanics of the game, overall, seem to be more blitz than Madden comparable. Not saying that - that is a bad thing.

The trajectory of the pass looks good to me, It's just that damn stiff passing animation I can't get used to but, I'll have to if this game is worth playing.

Re: Backbreaker Video: Passing Game

Maybe they got Myron Rolle to help them with the game. LOL

Myron's a pretty smart dude so you never know...

Animations are sexy.

I think the camera angle is so different from what football gamers are used to that it might make or break the game for a lot of people.

You are right.. But the Backbreaker Folks said that this is the only camera for the game.. So I would hope people know this going in.. If they don't like the camera on the vids, Then they most likely won't like the game. I remember when First person football came from the 2k series, I LOVED that.. so I will be one of the lucky ones that will like this camera

That's just it though, the videos show a lot of camera angles, since there are few official videos of just gameplay. They're produced shorts of replays, cut together plays, etc.
