Re: Rate full game of Backbreaker 1-10

I gave it a 4, the engine is nothing short of spectacular, but as a football game it has a long way to go, from AI problems (both mechanically and in general with things like clock management) to bugs (getting tackled at the 1 giving you a touchback) to missing features expected in any sports title (injuries, fatigue) and incomplete modes (no free agency, contracts in season mode, unable to fully edit players despite having so much other customization) and other seemingly shortsighted decisions like the quarter length options. All that is ignoring the polarizing camera decision (which I think is perfect on defense unless you're a DT, but could use some tweaking on offense)
