Backbreaker Patch "Greathouse" Impressions (PS3, 360)

Re: Backbreaker Patch "Greathouse" Impressions

... my game froze near the end of the 2nd quarter during a defensive audible ...

Were you continuing from a season / RTBB pre-patch save?

I *think* if you are doing that, then you might just need to re-assign your audibles, as it looks like the new plays that were added have resulted in some mismatch with old savegames - meaning your defensive audibles could have actually been offensive plays!

I think they unlocked some stadiums too because i have the revolution dome and another stadium and i've never played RTBB to unlock anything.

My dropped passes have almost completely disappeared since starting a season. I think I had only 1 last game....and it was a bad throw.

Thought I'd post this here so it doest get lost in all the other threads. Need more time before I can make a solid impression on the patch.

Is there a speed setting for replays? Its like the Keystone cops its so speeded up.
And when the QB drops back hes already locked on the primary receiver now instead of forward?

If your push the pause button to stop it than hold the Fwd button down it plays slower.Try jump back and fourth between the pause and play button.That's what I have been doing so far.

So is anyone still playing online? If you are, are you using a custom team from RTBB/Season or just one of the current teams?

I want to use my RTBB team but they are so weak. It seems like it will take me forever to get a decent team to take online.

Played a second game. Jets vs Nashville Predators (a lower rated team). Nashville moved the ball on me pretty well even though I was playing on the medium setting. Predators went up by a field goal and I was having problems running the ball at all but started hitting some passes. Was up 10-3 at half time.

Second half I hit a 44 yard bomb to Brad Smith that set up a field goal. Thing of beauty between two defenders. Predators had a long drive and put it in the endzone for 6, lighting me up with the passing game.

Finally started to get the running game going a bit in the 4th quarter with the T-formation. Was having some success and scored with a halfback pitch out of this formation and went 16 yard for the touchdown. I think I could have went 90 yards as I caught the Predators in an inside linebacker blitz. The free camera replay showed some great blocks on this run.

Won the game 24-13 but was actually out gained 239-219. Here's the real kicker...........NO turnovers by either side!

Alright, I just took an L (in O.T no less CPU nailed a 54 yarder), but the A.I has to be smarter in its playcalling. They were up by three with a 1:54 left, and they ran the ball on 3rd down; I had all 3 of my timeouts remaining, but they called their last T.O before I even had a chance to press select to stop the clock for me. They also seemed to love draw plays on 3rd and long. they caught me once for a 30 yard run on 3rd down, but the rest I easily stopped. I also ran into a glitch where the QB wouldn't get out of his pocket stance, and he was invincible momentarily. I couldn't bring him down and he just stayed in that stance and got a 40 yard running gain.

Patch is an improvement no doubt, but some things went unchanged (things that were supposedly addressed in the patch), and I'm seeing some things (bad) that I can't recall was in the game before.

Edit: Do the CPU miss FG's outside of 60 YARDS???

Re: Backbreaker Patch "Greathouse" Impressions (PS3, 360)

Alright, just played a couple of more games and thankfully I didn't run into that QB glitch again and I didn't have to worry about the CPU bad clock management as the games weren't even close (I got shut out last game.) I'm going to have to develop patience now against the A.I because they are no joke on pro/hard (especially on defense). I'm still extremely irritated by defenders jumping in unison during pump fakes because I don't recall that happening pre-patch (at least not to this extreme), but against better teams, it happens less often. I have to play way more to give a FINAL impression because it is a overall better game because of the patch; I'll say that without wavering, but I just hope some of the non-sense that I've seen thus far happens few and far in between.

Just saw the most crazy fumble ever. I punted the ball and the PR caught it and was making his way for the sideline. So, I decided to help him get out of bounds by giving him something to remember me by. The angle I came in was going straight for the ball. It jarred the ball loose violently and it went behind his back colliding with his other elbow propelling the ball forward back by out 8-10 yards or so. One of my special teams guys simply fell on the ball for the fumble recovery. It was a "holy roller" type of moment. I would have recorded it, but my camera isn't working right.

Re: Backbreaker Patch "Greathouse" Impressions (PS3, 360)

just picked the game up this week so I'm still struggling with the passing game but after playing a couple days pre-patch post-patch... Patch is way better. STILL. I need to learn how to play and the training camp is ok but damn I need a practice mode.

sucks having to learn how to scan the field, pass (with touch) catch and run all while trying to win. (or at least waiting to get the ball back)

Re: Backbreaker Greathouse (Patch version) Impressions

Sounds like you need to get your skills up homie. Madden has spoiled you. No more R. Bush breaking 6 tackles, dodging two more and then running 80 yds for the td. In real football rbs avg 4 yds per carry. BB reflects that. Get used to it. I have no problem running the ball.

The CPU suffers from the same problem. It's the game not the user.
