One question for the BB experts:

Is there a reason why they are not giving us an option for a traditional camera angle?

Imo, this could be the best football game ever made with a better camera angle.

I believe you can customize the music in the full version... I could see it getting repetitive...

Yeah the full version has custom soundtracks.

They want you to have the "on the field" experience and I love it.

On Offense, I am actually scared and trigger happy as a qb. Especially in Focus mode. After getting absolutely crushed by a DE, I got really nervous. The DE just swam past my tackle and I was just a sitting duck. I have never experienced that feeling in Madden/NCAA/2K/Joe Montana Sports talk etc. I love the camera view for QB. Twice I thought I had a guy open deep and twice I through right to the safety that I did not see for an INT. You pay for mistakes when throwing. A very good thing. I thought passing was going to be easy but I am struggling so far. I also like looking for the primary rather than assigned buttons for receivers. It's a learning curve, but it feels a bit more realistic. Didn't run the ball too much, but it felt good when I did.

On Defense, I felt disoriented. Much more used to the see everything view. It feels like you are playing a position and not commanding the entire defense. Takes getting used to. I was running around like a chicken without a head. I think I need to pick a position and just play that the entire time. I ussually like playing DE in FB games, but I found it fun to play MLB.

Overall, I am more likely to purchase after the demo. Sure I wish the game had fatigue/injuries, but the gameplay may be able to make me forget all about it. Very refreshing take on the game of football.

Look for those Safeties in Zone Coverage!!!

Try stiff arming with the same hand you have the ball in. It doesnt not automatically switch, he lunges with his shoulder instead. You have to switch the ball to other hand first. This game just feels like football.

Teach me oh great one. LOL. I have been trying to pull this off.

Because they're specifically trying for a more on-field play style. The lack of camera angles was a design choice from the start. This way is more realistic anyway.

Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Wow I just saw something amazing. It was a defensive pass interference penalty on my team. The amazing part is when they showed the replay you could actually see the cb holding the guy up and as a result the wr lost his balance and went down.

The first real and organic pass interference penalty in any football game to date.

I really want to see more in depth reviews.. Hopefully the 'WOW' factor goes away by the weekend and we get into the nitty gritty with actual depth about what's happening on the field...

Pretty sure APF 08 has organic penalties.
