Backbreaker Video: Direct-Feed Alpha Gameplay (7 Minutes)

[Valdarez]

I'm just not sold on the new camera angle, especially on defense. First, the goal is to move the camera angle lower so it's more realistic, but then they have to add a glowing body just so you can tell what's going on. Why not just put you in a first person view at that point? I'd rather have the camera moved up just a little and back just a little so you can better enjoy all of the action and there's no need for the glowing runner when you're playing defense.

The glowing runner can be turned off just like any other assist. You can have play art stay on the field, have the ball glow, your player glow, the ball carrier glow, your man glow, etc. Or you can have no glowing occur ever and have it look just like you are on the field. Or you could have some things turned on like the ball glow and have others off like permanent play art, ball carrier glow, etc.

if ya oldschool this kinda reminds me of superplayaction football on steroids!!!

its a new and fresh animation....from the boring outdated madden animations,give it a nfl license and it will be worth buying imo,but for now its rentable if ya just wanna play something different from madden.

I know there are a lot of players on the fence about this game, and thats fine. After watching these videos, i know there will be a lot of 'buyers' who are currently 'renters' and the moment.

This is going to have some seriously addicting gameplay, especially when you can change the outcome of everything with such striking detail.

but i must say i wish madden had those type of player animations....wit the graphics thats in madden...if madden10 had those animations awesome game, all EA has to do is bring its product in modern times....wit that said M10 is the best madden game i ever played,but everyone knows that espn 2k5 is the best nfl simulated football game of all time....period!!! that game still blows me away.

I hope that they fixed 1:30-1:32. Otherwise, everything else looked good to me. I am getting amped.

Playing defense seems like it's going to be awesome. I just want to be a ball hawk safety. Then it will be awesome to plug a hole as a MLB and lay ferocious hits on receivers running those dink routes across the middle.
