Football Gaming 2010

This year might be the year that we, as football gamers, FINALLY get what we want...well maybe.

I'm going to be buying Backbreaker(barring some kind of horrific gameplay from the demo) and NCAA 11.
Both look very very promising, with Backbreaker's almost unlimited customization options and unique approach to sports gaming. NCAA looks to be improving on so many fronts this year, how could it be worse than NCAA 10?

I'm not big on the NFL, so Madden isn't really in mind(and hasn't been for several years now) and 2 football games is enough for me to try to keep up with anyway.

I am really excited for this summer and what's to come in football games.

I'm actually more excited about NCAA 11 than Madden 11, this year, which is never the case. It seems NCAA 11 will get all that is in Madden 11 plus more like the advanced lighting which makes the game look MUCH BETTER than Madden 11, although I read that the lighting hasn't been implemented in Madden 11 'yet'. At this stage, I'm doubting it will make it in since they are showing so many screenshots and vids WITHOUT the lighting implementation.

Also, NCAA 11 is going to have ESPN presentation abound. NCAA 11 looks like it will be a different game in so many different ways compared to Madden 11. Even Backbreaker has me a bit more excited for it than Madden 11 and I only plan to rent Backbreaker...unless the demo blows me away. Then I'll just buy the damn thing, in that case. Lol.

I am a little pumped this year

Backbreaker is the only day one buy for me. EA has done nothing since PS2 to deserve a buy unless they have made some serious improvements.

@GymRat. While I do partially agree with you, they have made real strides this year into focusing on parts of the game that actually needed attention. Granted, we don't know exactly how those will be executed, but at least they are trying to do SOMETHING this year.

Ncaa is looking pretty good. I hope thy remove pass predict and Run predict. I think people abuse that tatic.

I completely agree. NCAA 11 looks amazing this year.

I have no expectations for Backbreaker but I'm really looking forward to NCAA 11. Last year was one of the most disappointing years in football gaming for me. Probably the worst for as long as I can remember.

@rudyjuly2 I totally agree with you, I did have fun with NCAA 10, but in the end it was just one big disappointment.
