    Man, just enjoy what it is. Community days have been held for NHL, Fight Night, NCAA, Madden. What really stands out is this game may not be perfect, but it does things that neither 2K Sports or EA Sports has been able to do. They have implemented physics into a football game where the other guys sat on the side lines and said it would be a huge undertaking.

    We should just have fun with it and not get caught up in EA or 2K for that matter.
    Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

      This game is heading into the right direction. I am and have been a backbreaker supporter since day one i love the game and cant wait for this patch to drop. Finally we have a football game where anything can happen at anytime and where football knowledge and skill is needed to win. I think i'm going to buy another copy new to show my support. * Just IMAGINE backbreaker 2. OMG

            I don't like Backbreaker but I hope somehow it stays around and improves. We need all we can get to push EA to do better.

                My point is that this was all done POST release for FREE. Not in support of an upcoming full price game. Its almost unprecedented in the level of response to community input. Extremely impressive.

I will continue to support them as long as they continue with the same type of interaction with people who purchase their game. Please support them and buy the game new. I think its as low as $29.99 new at some places. You've spent hundreads of dollars playing other football titles with minimal and incremental results. We have to continue to support innovation.

                      Just picked this game up earlier today and it just might make me skip Madden for the first time since my PS1 days. Learning curve was pretty steep but by the end of my first game it all started clicking.

                        If you have read any of my blogs, I have preached about picking up this game and supporting it since day one. Glad this game is getting some of the recognition it deserves.

                          Not to mention that the CD guys say alot of things are different from when they are there and what is in the final game. CD is just PR for EA.

                            I loved Backbreaker before the patch, but it was difficult to play QB. I have only played with the patch update for about 5 minutes, but I can already feel the difference. It feels like a new game to me. Some people said they feel no difference, but how much did those people really play the game before. My son was one of those people and he played 3 times since I got it. He said Backbreaker is too realistic for him and that he would rather play Madden 11 because it's easier to win because it's not as realistic and it has the "Real NFL Players".

                            Check This!

                            1. If you have never played Backbreaker before, you will need to go to training mode to be really successful on your journey to sim style football.
                            2. If you have played Backbreaker before but skipped the training and complained that the game was too hard or you just plain disliked it, please go back and do the training.
                            3. After training, go to tackle alley to learn how to pull of all the moves really well.
                            4. Go play at least 2 exhibition games before starting a season or going online.

                            Peace!

                              I agree with what you said. It is not a game the impatient can just pick up and be great at the game. It has a steep learning curve and will require you to put some time in learning the game and how to play it successfully. There are things to think about that you don't need to in other football games.

                              For instance: Where is the blitz coming from? In other football games, you can clearly see the blitz coming from anywhere weather it be the Cornerback or blindside linebackers. You can see it the instance they start their blitz for you. In BackBreaker, scanning the field PRE-PLAY and reading who is possibly coming and who is not, is a big thing. If you are looking at the wrong part of the field. You won't be able to see that blindside linebacker coming to clean your clock. Just subtle things such as that make a HUGE difference in keeping the chains moving and putting points on the board.

                                I was gonna say the same thing...but all of that aside, I for one am not forcing anyone to spend their money on BB. I merely offerering an alternative to "other" football titles. Its amazing how many people have just not honestly given the game a chance and just immediately knocked it b/c it didnt have the GOD cam. Playing as QB took sometime to get used to, but now, I cant play the game any other way. I tried playing the demo to "other" football titles, and they just didnt have that feel I had grown accustomed to in my short time with BB.

                                Is the game perfect? Far from it if you ask me, but I cant emphasize enough of how much I would like an alternative to spend my money on. Its a shame we are in a day and age where if you wanna play a football game, you either "pay for this one" or dont play a game at all. Natural Motion has a decent sized hill to climb if they want their game to be considered a legitimate football title, but its not fair to write them off after their first offering. I would still love to see some possible hot routing (esp making my RB stay in the backfield to block), a more efficient play calling screen, a PROPERLY implemented injury system, etc...There are a lot of other things but for the purposes of this post, I will just save them for the appropriate thread. But bottomline is, if you want change, then you must support people when they are trying.
