Big ups to 505 putting the game out. This is a great game. I want to pay enough games before I did a review. This game is truly something special. When you make a play it acually feels like your making it. I made a big hit on defense, and it actually felt like i made the play. This game is nothing like Madden, and should not be compared to it. These are different games, 2 different experiences. Backbreaker I feel is more for a person who loves football, not for a casual fan. If you are not ready to fail a few times you play then I would not play this game if I were you.

Running the ball is very fun weather you pop a 70 yarder, or runaround backwards for a loss you never know the outcome, Even when you are in a bind in the backfield, It always seems u have a chance to make a play for a big game. Defense is really hard to get used to but when you make your 1st big user play, It feels amazing. I watch my replay over and over knowing that I made that hit. It feels special.

Also I like EVERYTHING is repected. You can not run into anything with out it being notice Even when players get knocked down, there bodies still matters. Its amazing ro see when After a play player tripping over each other. I'm happy with the game even with lack of modes, This game is still great.. I think its worth the buy. I give it a 8.5-10 Great replay ability

This game make you focus the entire game. Every decision counts. Every big play counts. Every mistake....Counts. Stay conservative early and then....BOOM make a play.

After finally playing the demo on PS3, I can say that I'm surprised this game got as much hype as it did. I can't see this game making it more than 2 years. There's no reason for a person to play this game, especially with the other titles on the market. I'll give it a 6 out of 10.

Since it's the impressions thread, I suspect people who are looking for impressions are going to care what rating people give it.

funny, I think he gave it a pretty high score....for a game that "There's no reason for a person to play this game".....lol

but seriously, I'm glad I'm not the only one enjoying this football game....I just want to keep playing it, play after play.... I'm finally starting to understand which runs to call on which plays.....as well as when to call fake snaps to slow down the dline...sometimes it seems like they get in a roll and they are just barging through........but one thing for sure, if they seem to be getting a pretty good push on your plays... DO NOT CALL A Pro Form - formation....in that formation as soon as you hike it you have to move alittle in a angle...if you drop straight back pressure seems to get through.... I move in an angle to the left or right and adjust to what the dline is doing....then look to pass...

if they are getting pretty good push on the oline, I call shotgun plays and some screens.... with shotgun plays, remember not to drop back to pass, actually step up alittle....the D-ends will get good angles on you if you drop further back....and you'll get sacked pretty quick.

I said that because of no reason to play it.

Exactly what I have noticed too, that's the great thing about this game, the nuanced game play. I can't be on cruise control when I play, I have to really pay attention to everything. The more I play the more I appreciate the game, it has plenty of flaws but when everything is clicking right, it's one of the best playing football game I've played.

FINALLY got a chance to play this game since it just got put on the Playstation Store.

Overall Impression: Game is bada**. From the hits, to the passing and running game. I love it. Once i figured out that i used the l-stick a little too much when passing(which lead to unwanted lead passes which always went overthrown), I had a hell of a time playing this game. It just feels right.

Maybe I am just too used to Madden...but the view and controls didn't feel right to me, even when I got the controls down, the camera view was disorienting as hell.

Just getting to Back Breaker: After reading the initial reviews about lack of stamina for players, I thought the game would be a waste of time. Obviously, the Euphoria engine is fantastic: It's fun, different, and pretty intuitive.

Still, with what I've read so far about this game and production company, I'd like to see 2K purchase the Euphoria engine and update 2K Football again. If 2K would listen to their audience next time around, and produce an updated yet customizable version of NFL 2K, they might find surprising success despite the lack of player license.
