Rate full game of Backbreaker 1-10

[ESPOMAN]

I give it a perfect 10. Best football game ever made.

a solid 8... its quite frankly breath taking

I gave it a 4, the engine is nothing short of spectacular, but as a football game it has a long way to go, from AI problems (both mechanically and in general with things like clock management) to bugs (getting tackled at the 1 giving you a touchback) to missing features expected in any sports title (injuries, fatigue) and incomplete modes (no free agency, contracts in season mode, unable to fully edit players despite having so much other customization) and other seemingly shortsighted decisions like the quarter length options. All that is ignoring the polarizing camera decision (which I think is perfect on defense unless you're a DT, but could use some tweaking on offense)

I think it is too early to rate the game...be it good or bad... I think we should wait a week...or a couple of days.

While I would generally agree, nothing of what I judged it on will be changed in a few days.

I gave it a 3 because NM had the guts to try something new. I also feel as a Football game it's just terrible. I've been playing the game since 10:15am today and I've seen more bugs then I can remember one game ever having. I also stand by my statement that the camera angle completely ruins the game. Football is not played with one eye closed and that is what it feels like playing BB.

I want to be able to praise the game, but what I'm seeing when I play it just does not allow it.

A solid 8.5!! Breath of fresh air.

Don't take this as a flame, but I would guess that you are still in your teens. Not because you think its the best football game ever made, but to give it a perfect 10 is a euphoric(pun intended) rating that I would expect from a young person.

No sports game is ever worthy of a "10" if we're calling a 10, perfection. Every sports game, even the ones that I deify, has a dozen things that weren't done well.

Are you saying that there is nothing in Backbreaker that you consider sub par? That's hard to believe.
