Backbreaker Patch "Greathouse" Impressions (PS3, 360)

[teambayern]

Is there any indication at all that there will be a second patch? I'm right on the edge of snatching this at BB, but I have concerns about the run game problems, and general availability of games online.

Teambayern,,,,,,,,,,,,todd is taking feed back just like he did befor the 1st patch..... He also said that backbreaker will get better and that somethings will have to be added in the next game......(THATS) HIS WORDS NOT MINE) ...so i feel pretty good about the future of this game......p.s. the this he said would have to wait was injurys,and toe taps......as they had to draw a line in the sand for this bb1.....again not my words but his........said all this yesterday you can go read his post

Those who know my history here know I am very critical of EA and Tiburon especially, and would love nothing more than to say how BB smashes Madden..

but after about 10-12 games since the patch has dropped.. i am just not sure about this game really..

there is no denying the physics, and tackles are very cool.. but after that.. i dunno

every game seems to be a crapshoot on whether my receivers are going to drop balls or not, or if i am able to run the ball at all or not.

sometimes no matter what i do, there is a defender in the backfield to stuff the run.. and this leads to endless frustration with this game.

I dont want to go on EASY difficulty, because the CPU already cant really score much on Medium as it is.

at least I have some time to pass now since the patch, and there are games where my receivers hold onto everything, and then there are games where they drop everything. again.. very frustrating.

Sure its great I can play as all 32 NFL teams, but it really doesn't feel like the real players. Maybe its because there is no play by play, or maybe its the oversized generic player models.. i dunno but there is just something missing for me there.

The game need some more atmosphere i think.. more player chatter, more stadium sounds and noises, and a better more involved PA announcer.

The CPU AI seems to be very erratic at times, and sometimes it seems that they are just calling random plays which do not even relate to the current situation.
CPU calls way too many draw plays on 3 downs.. on 3rd & short, 3rd & long.. doesnt matter.
I have also had the CPU let the clock run out at half while lined up to kick a field goal. not good..

Maybe the 2nd patch (if there is one) can address some of these issues.
I still support this game and 505 games..
Its definitely an amazing first effort, thats for sure.. and the DEV'S seems very receptive to the community, and dedicated to making this game great which is also a positive sign.

Gonna keep reading the tips and guides over a the BB forum and to continue trying with this game though, as this is my only NFL videogame option right now until EA gets their act together..

big thanks to the guys doing the NFL rosters, and editors for BB.. it does make a big difference!
