That's not what Backbreaker is, sorry.

Then you aren't really understanding what you are hearing. I don't want Madden, I want to be able to switch on defense and have at least a remote chance to make a tackle, the camera as it is, especially on defense, sucks at this. U switch and almost immediately you run right past the ball carrier. It's a total clusterf*&#. Passing just isn't intuitive, there needs to be an option to elevate and zoom out. As Ron Burgundy would say, "it's science".

I havent played the demo yet because i'd decided to but it a long time ago and have reserved my copy.

After reading the numerous impressions..we should all remember that this demo is dumbed down, and only has a fraction of the full content.. while some of the 6 teams may seem like cupcakes, the game ships with 60 teams, all with different strengths and weaknesses. Creating your own teams was the selling point for me.

As far as playing defense, it works best if you stick with one player. If you want to switch, as soon as you see the QB throw a pass that's not towards you is the best time.

One thing bothered me was after the play was over a lot of the guys would just fall over guys on the ground so the detection is good but the players should be able to not walk over a guy that's down.

Has anyone tested the AI by setting up a CPU vs. CPU game?

Not at all. The camera is great. We already have an option for God view and you guys know where that forum is. There is no need for another game with the same gameplay and same view. .

That is quite possibly the worst logic I have seen yet in the BB forums, and that's saying something. It's almost as good as claiming the camera angle is somehow more realistic.

I don't get how people think having options is a bad thing. While I like the game and what the devs are trying to do, I am not going to suspend logic in order to defend their decisions.

I noticed that too, but I normall just hit A through the scenes between plays.

You can't do CPU vs CPU.

People are giving their impression of the game in the impression thread.

It's not a positive impressions only thread. And if you take someone giving a negative impression as telling others not to like it I don't know what to tell you.

Discussing issues with the game isn't trolling. If you want unquestioned love for Backbreaker, go to the NaturalMotion site.

The whole point of the camera angle is to put the gamer in the action without seeing whats on his blind sides or behind him just like in real life. If there was a choice & player that prefers the 3rd person view plays a player in the generic god view, then that gives an unfair advantage. It just takes some getting use to is all.

Hmmm. This is an impressions thread is it not? I don't remember reading positive impressions only? Nor do I remember you being elevated to a position to make the rules of who can post what and where.

If you only want positives this may be the wrong place for you.

Is there a script somewhere? All of you guys use the exact same words and arguments.

The vast majority of the negativity isn't trolling, they're just giving impressions. Even I don't have all good things to say about, because it's hardly perfect.
This thread is for both positive and negative impressions.
