The trade in value is going down fast because no one wants to buy it.

I'd say some people would give it a chance if they knew it existed.

Oh, and one thing about the passing game is there aren't too many short pass plays. Like normally when you get a pass off in this game, you're looking at at least nine yards gained.

That's where there comes this issue with if you mess with the running speed of the players (their 40's are terrible) as well as the run blocking and such, there will be too much offense. Well I'd agree, but as a balancing point you could surely recreate some plays so that there are more short passes that are easier to make and long passes are more difficult.

Also, backing the QB camera up a couple of more clicks would be nice. I wish there was some other form of periphery as well, because I know that if I'm a QB and I'm facing east, even if I'm eyeballing a receiver that's north of me, I can still easily see what's coming east of me. Sometimes I can still see a bit of what's west of me, but this game doesn't really have any sort of way to tell you this. Even threat meters like in ESPN NFL 2K5's FPF feature would be nice, anything that can help you scramble and evade if you need to.

Oh, and scrambling in this game sucks. Just don't do it lol.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

Yeah, and I wanted to see otherwise. The graphics are kind of "surface nice" (a lot of people think otherwise) but I prefer BB's-the models have more weight to them and are more suited as football players, even if their sleeves don't move.

Once again, my major problem with the demo, is the ease of the passing game . The pinball view is good for accumulating MVP QB stats, but it's not much fun.

EDIT:to your point about BB being the game you want to play I second that. To your reasons (O-Line Blocking, INTs), I would say that as far as the run blocking goes, I wouldn't mess with that too much. It needs work, but I don't want it tweaked too much in the O-Line's favor. I would like to see the O-Line pass blocking tweaked a little more. AND GET THE CPU OFFENSE TO RUN THE BALL AGGRESSIVELY AND EFFECTIVELY.

Yeah,I meant pass blocking more but through testing with the editor I got the CPU running game to be effective.I did a global edit of -20 for speed and agility for all players except rb's,who I kept the same.They hit the holes faster and can make moves enough on the defense to be effective.You don't want to make your running game too effective though so you have to adjust your teams rating.

Well jump for joy becuase this is a definite

Todd the lead programmer had mentioned in a post that he was trying to decide how high and how wide he should adjust the camera. It was to reference to the passing camera.

Most people have stated in the BB forums that the running camera, and defensive camera are fine, and just the passing camera needs adjusting.

Defensive camera is fine, though I'd much rather that the camera doesn't pan down so that it's flat on the field when we make a tackle. Running camera is fine but needs more "up the field" adjustments. QB camera definitely needs some form of periphery however, as I mentioned earlier. Even if there were threat meters that would be much better. But we also need a cohesive O-Line as well.

I feel very confident that the following will be patched.

O'line play, A.I play calling, and the amount of interceptions.

They mentioned that they hope this patch really wows us , and its going to be a large patch
, so I feel very good that there will be some surprises.

I think I remember hearing that more plays were coming. Either with the patch or free DLC.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

i probably won't be buying a football game this year. i'm leaning towards making it a year for soccer. but depending on what you guys say about the patch I'd be willing to snag this game for $20

I really hope they don't ruin the game with this camera issue. If they move it back too far they're going to kill the challenge.

I agree. Some people always look for the easy way out in all aspects of their lives. I am really just getting around to playing this game, and I like it. I have heard some good things about them and what they are trying to accomplish. Time will tell, but this game represents certain aspects of football more appropriately than other games. I love the aggressiveness of the D-line. Gamers have been spoiled, and have no clue that QB's are not able to sit in the pocket for 10 seconds on every play. QB's are not able to see everyone on the field all the time. Although I hate to admit it, playing QB is difficult. I think this game does a great job at displaying that fact.

The running into the punter problem, and the speed of players needs to be patched. There also needs to be a more recognisable difference amongst players skill levels.

I don't think the camera adjustment will be that major.

Guys it wont be major. It's a slight adjustment. Nothing crazy at all. He mentioned just slightly higher and slightly wider.

Nothing like a traditional camera like we have seen in other football titles.

You will still be getting those blindside hits. They do not want to lose that, but at the same time they want to make viewing your receiver more comfortable.
