    why is it that when Madden comes out the "experts" all score it well higher than the common user. And then when a threat comes out, like Backbreaker, all the "experts" score it well lower than the average user

    now, I'm not a Madden basher, I played 10 a lot, but it seems apparent to me that something needs to change when reviews and users opinions continually differ so much

    the reviews arent even making an attempt at being fair and impartial, and are doing gamers a huge disservice by not evenly representing the games
    Probably for the same reason that the flaws people in excuse in this game would never be accepted in a Madden game, people have given excuses for everything that is criticized in Backbreaker.

    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        He reviewed this as a FOOTBALL game. The physics tech is great and all, but it could have been put in any game. UFC, Rugby, wrestling etc.

        As a FOOTBALL game, its a mess. And Ive seen numerous times where linebackers will float into position to make an INT, dont act like its not there.

          This is somewhat off base. Madden 06 was an awful, unplayable game. Even by the admission of the staunchest madden fan and it averaged an 8 reviewer and 5 user

            Yep. People love to "conveniently" forget that stuff.

            BB needs some work, and they don't need reviews that are super positive. It will help make a better game. 505 should not be high fiving each other over this game just yet.

            That being said, this review came off as angry and unprofessional. It was one of the worst I have ever read on this website.

              I understand some people are upset by the review, but I would hate for anyone to get an infraction or worse by getting too bent out of shape because of it. Please keep the comments respectful and we certainly don't need to go down the path of how other games review.

              Thanks

                as stated, i don't think the problem with this review is the score. The problem I have is that we come to expect an os review to come from someone with a similar mindset that is based on the reviewer being a "sports gamer" that, they can see what the average joe doesn't. This reviewer seems to have missed that perspective because the majority of the points he made, although valid, come at the expense of the learning curve initially. Most of us would probably give this game a 6-7 score, so we are not seeing thru rose coloured glasses. It has not been deemed the madden killer. But to throw it under the blitz bus of sim is ridiculous.

                  Why not just post this review under the impression thread.

                        It's not offbase at all, the people who disagree with every negative Backbreaker review and would go to a site and give it 8-10 out 10 are the same one's who would nitpick on everything in Madden and give it anywhere from a 1 to a 6. Just look at the excuses that have been made:

                        Way too many interceptions are being thrown- "You're bad at the game" or "Maybe in the Backbreaker league the quarterbacks aren't very good so that's why they throw so many interceptions"

                        Way too many fumbles- "The patch will fix that"

                        Blockers don't pick up their man like they should- "The patch will fix that"

                        The computer offense is horrible- "Play online" or "The patch will fix that"

                        For everything else- "This is the first time they've made a game, just buy it and hope that they fix it in later versions"

                            yeah, I wish it were like this.....maybe OS can have extra reviews where they list various impressions from posters. OS Community Review

                              A patch would be nice but there may be other solutions as well. People are already seeing great results tweeking the ratings using finn's editor. Hopefully this is what happened with 2k5 all over again.
