The camera (even more than the licensing issues) is probably going to be the biggest barrier to people adopting this game. In some ways (play selection, simplicity of controls, etc.), Backbreaker is meant to be a casual, pick-up-and-play game. In other ways, it's about the hardest of hardcore sports games imaginable (you are actually forced to follow the play visually with your player and respond). I'm actually amazed at how well they've done it on the first try, especially compared to things like 2k5's 1st person cam, or the Madden Be a Pro mode (which I never liked).
I really like the demo, and may actually buy this game next week. However, as I play it more, there are things about the gameplay that concern me, particularly the interceptions. They seem to happen all the time on both sides of the ball, and as a QB, if you thought you were throwing into coverage by accident a lot in MADDEN, I can only imagine how many times I'll fail to see the linebacker with this camera, and chuck it right into his numbers.

I am more concerned about the CPU offense. The human player can always adjust and get better. The CPU offense can not in a sense that you are stuck with how it was programmed.
