Re: Backbreaker Demo Impressions Thread

played a game and tackle alley

man, i thought i was going to be turning off the glowing crap....I dont think so. I am sooo lost on defense, lol, Ill get used to it though

bunch of late "pile" hits from the CPU, that was cool.

My only touchdown, RB up the middle, tried diving, but the DL infront of me grabbed me and the LB clotheslined me. Play didn't stop until the RB reached out for the TD since he was on top of the DL still, play not stopping till a knee hits the ground?....now that is awesome.

This game is going to be awesome...however, I dont know how I feel about Boom being played everytime I kick off. Because I thought it was too awesome to comprehend, lol.

Bah, 11 days

The bolded text is killer. Can't wait to get there. My son is sleeping right now and I cannot get to my 360 anymore because he was waking up, but this is worth the loss of sleep for him.

Love it, love it, love it, love it.

I'm going to be playing this demo for a while.

The camera is going to take a bit to get used to though.

Re: Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Thanks for copying my initial thoughts in here, ill paste up what I had left to say -

Safety (Man defense):
-Only had you marked on a RB, which was fun but is aided by focus mode. So I am not sure how easy it will be online / vs. a WR.

Safety (Zone defense):
-Had a real hard time even with focus mode, gave up 3 TDs before I just tried to let him catch and tackle (which might have been point of drill?).

Tackle Alley:
-I thought this was a blast. It gives you 5 of the 100 levels I believe, obviously increasing in difficulty as time goes on. I think it gives you the best idea of how fluid the player movement is. My only concern is I had more fun with this than exhibition haha.

Exhibition:
-2 minute quarters (only play one half). Can pick Arcade / Pro, select difficulty and the weather. I tried rain which was pretty amazing looking, the graphics definitely are top notch.

I know how tired am is coming into play, but this is definitely going to be a challenge. Most of it just trying not to become frustrated. I am sure when I picked up Madden/NCAA for the first time I was just as terrible.

Running is no problem, I think everyone will get the hang of it fairly quickly. Passing has a serious learning curve on the other hand. It's difficult to pick out your WR among the masses (makes me respect a QBs work even more) and I am fairly sure it would take a special person to change targets from one end of the line to the other. Having to "lock-on" to a WR before throwing to them is irksome. It makes it difficult to make split second decisions. I need to play a lot more before I make any sweeping generalizations though.

Defense, I am still not getting it. I don't see how anyone will be able to successfully play a safety in coverage for example. Way too risky / difficult, at least from what I experienced thus far. This is the thing that has bothered me the most playing.

Overall:

I like what I see: graphics, physics, "the world" are all very cool. The animations are amazing. Right now my main concern is how entertaining defense will be. I have to play a lot more, but on first glance I was already looking for a super sim option to get back on offense.

Edit: And I am not saying defense is a black hole of entertainment. I thought blitzing with the linebackers was cool, it's just that personally I have always been a coverage safety type o guy.

The animation created by the Euphoria engine are absolutely unbelievable. I just caught the Punter with his kicking leg up in the air and picked him up by his other leg and planted him into the ground. The game is really satisfying when you make a play.
