Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

What is everyones high score in tackle alley so far? I have only managed to get 11000 points but I wasnt showboating or trying to get points...I was just trying to complete as many levels as possible(last level is 5)

For the 3rd wave I would suggest trying to make the defenders miss because they look like and move like Dlinemen and so far I havent been able to power over them. I love the fact that the big men are stuffing me in my place.

Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

How is the tackle physics? Can you differentiate between a powerful hit at full speed versus a regular hit?

Or does every tackle have the same intensity?

the variety is through the roof man. you can get 'barge' tackled, 'wrap' tackled or 'dive tackled' and I've seen each one do very different things. I've seen people ankle grab, get blown-up, glancing and lose balance, everything. Many times when you truck w/ a fullback and it's one on one you'll go down but over the tackler gaining an extra yard and a half...so he wraps you up and gets you down, but din't stand you up or anything like that.

Got the same thing. I dont know how anyone could get through 100 waves.

Yeah in the wave game you can't just run around trying to truck everyone. You have to start stringing moves together to make guys miss. Really fun, I like it.

I just got called for Off PI on a TD. There was contact and I never should have thrown the ball, but my WR somewhat pushed the DB in the back and was wideopen after the push.

Anybody else having trouble getting certain run plays to be successful at all? Seems like every time I try to run a toss play in general or the draw play from the Shotgun they both get blown up almost every time.

Ur not the only one...In general it feels awkward and sluggish on toss plays and even plays that are designed for anything but the inside. I still havent figured out how best to use run plays that arent up the middle. Up the middle I do fine.

Yes. The first run of the game I had went 35+ yards for a TD, right up the middle. I trucked a defender and got knocked back about 3-4 yards down field, but the OL cleaned up everyone else while I was gaining my balance and then there was no one left. Other than that run, nothing much else though. It is going to take some getting used to where the corner is and the camera. It is killing me on any outside runs, I am not getting up field like I should.

I've seen huge hits but fortunately they're balanced.

Have seem some hard hits, nothing like that yet though. Something like that would happen eventually though.

So far the hardest hit I have seen is when I went to throw the ball and somebody hit my qb low and then somebody else came in from the top when he was airborne and slammed him. QB looked like got broken in half on that play.

Goal post are hittable

Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I've been able to run toss plays pretty well, a few have been blown up but I've also managed a 15 yarder as well.
It does depend what team you are.

Outside run plays are difficult for me. As a matter of fact, I tried shotgun draw on 2nd and long from the 3, and was tackled for a safety.

I agree, I keep on going too much east and west on outside runs even when there is a opening.

I don't think it is a product of sluggish controls for the most part, most of the time it seems like the blocking is blown up and there are 3 guys in the backfield before I have time to do anything.

I did have a 75 yard td playing on medium earlier, but Hard is much more difficult in terms of running.
