    Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

    WOW something cool just happened. I punted the ball away and switched to player who was closing in fast to the returner, I was ready to destroy him as soon as he got the ball...but he muffed it, bounced off his leg and into my player's arms!

      I just threw an interception and when I tried to tackle him he drug me like 10 yards before another player came up to finish him off. EPIC.

        I don't want EA to take over BB. That would not be good.

        I notice with the thread ratings here for BB as soon as someone rates a thread 5 stars someone else gives it 1 star. Someone really doesn't like this game being around.

            Pretty fun, look forward to playing it more over the weekend and getting used to the controls some more. I'm not sure I've successfully fielded a punt/kickoff yet, lol.
            I was having trouble fielding punts and kickoffs at first as well. I realized the circle you see actually turns from red to green when you are in position to field it. I haven't missed one since realizing that. That should help you as well.

                Imo, this could be the best football game ever made with a better camera angle.
                Yea I really do agree with you on that my friend. I know they wanted to give fans the feel of been on the field and not having a God like view and all. But I think they should of aleast gave us a few more Cam. angle options for people who didn't wamt this Cam. Angle they currently have in the game. It is very hard to use to and all. It also gives me a big headache and all. But for me the game is a renter right now. The game overall is a solid game. But for BB2 they really need to give fans more Cam. options to choice from.

                    Hey Guys,

                    This is an impressions thread. That means we post impression, discuss the game and maybe ask a question or two.

                    What it does not mean is:

                    1. When someone post an impression you don't agree with you attack them, discussion is fine. Attacking people is not.

                    2. There is no need for a discussion on the evils of EA and BB combining etc. You want to say you'll enjoy this more then another game or even compare how the game does something different that's fine. Just keep it on topic.

                    Enjoy the demo, discuss it to your hearts content but any trolling will be dealt with. We are not going to be doing the game war in this thread.

                    An curse all of you because I am at work and won't get to try this until tonight

                        Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

                        Couple of very quick impressions as I really didn't get to spend much time with the game.

                        Still not feeling the camera angle. Maybe it will grow on me, but I really am not enjoying it.

                        Animations are fabulous. So varied, makes the game feel very organic.

                        Still HATE the QB drop and throw animations and really don't like the kick/punt animations either. They just don't look right. Not a deal breaker, but an annoyance I guess.

                        Graphically the game looks amazing, imo.

                        Very satisfying dropping the hammer on someone. I actually like the auto-replays I think they are well done.

                        Ratings really seem to matter. I like that.

                        Not a fan of the passing mechanic yet. Again, like the camera angle maybe it will grow on me, but right now not liking it.

                        Still really dislike the player models. I know it's petty but they are just so oversized they make the players feel stiff at times. Just not a fan

                        Overall I would say my impressions are favorable, and with more time with the game, could be even more favorable. This weekend I will try to get some quality time with the demo.

                              2m and you get to play until half.
