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. :) -

Re: Backbreaker Review
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.Comment

Re: Backbreaker Review
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 userLast edited by Dogslax41; 06-09-2010, 03:56 PM.Comment

Re: Backbreaker Review
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.Comment

Re: Backbreaker Review
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.

Re: Backbreaker Review
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.Comment

Re: Backbreaker Review
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"Originally posted by BlzerLet me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

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