Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Anyone else seeing way too many roughing the punter and qb penalties? I had 3 roughing the punter penalties in a row and I wasn't controlling the player.

I haven't had one penalty called yet.

Most perfect sports game ever? No

But if you are comparing it to that "other game" then it is leaps and bounds above it in about every single category.

I am not comparing anything.
I was simply disagreeing with the comment "Nobody said this game was going to be perfect"

Can't wait to try the demo out tonight.

I've heard about this but haven't had a single penalty in probably 5 games I've played now.

It must be how certain squads match up then is all, I had it in both games I played, on every punt. It happens because the ends are tackling him instead of going after the ball. I had it called on a successful block as well (in normal punt return formation)

The only roughing the passer penalty I've seen I meant to stop and try and replay and understand, because the QB was untouched it seemed, didnt end the play on the ground or anything.

i am really liking everything on the field but i don't like the way play calling works. really takes another element of strategy out of the game when you can't match your defense to the offensive formation.

So far I like alot.....camera view will turn off some.....learning curve means some patience is necessary.....passing is pretty easy when in focus mode but running the ball is a little difficult to get consistency....defense is fun but sometimes hard to get in correct position.

Overall,I think this game will grow on people the more you give it a chance.A Madden player would need to adapt to the difference....sorta like playing a 2k football game for the first time.

I'm accepting the challenge to improve myself because I think this is the football game that will give you that wow factor that's been missing.

In relation to what, personel scheme or shifting?

Ive been playing the game for hours and playing as the QB is so frustrating yet so freaking beautiful. Its not easy but its so rewarding when you get that hard earned completion. Reading the defense and praying your RT holds his damn defender so you can get that Go Route just in time is so thrilling.

personnel. no indication that i noticed of how many back and wr's the offense has on the field for the next play so your just kinda picking the play you want and hoping the formation is appropriate.

Not sure what you mean here. Are you playing on Pro or Arcade? Are you talking about shifting or simply calling the defensive formation to match up with the offenses personal? The latter you can defiantly do.

It does show you the personal on the offense, right above where you call your play. You just have to wait a second for the CPU to select it's play.

if you select "by formation" or another option in the box, wait a couple seconds and the personel should show up on the top right side of the box.
