I am looking so forward to this game and Prizefighter so much. I know with Backbreaker we won't get a super "franchise mode" YET, but it can't be perfect in the first try (think about it Madden is in its 20th anniversary). I believe it can do well, but it starts with us, giving it a chance.

Good article. I really liked the info on the control scheme. I have been waiting for the days of scanning for receivers again, like that old Sega game where you had to work through your progressions, and the implementation of the analog stick sounds interesting. If this game is complete, meaning if it has a full franchise mode and is relatively smooth in its playing style, I think it will have a good chance of success on the market. It certainly won't outsell Madden, but it will certainly give those of us not willing to spend another dollar on EA an outlet.

Digg the article folks!

This game has a lot of potential. I really hope it's good.

This may be a silly question, but is this only on XBOX360? I want to check this out.

All I have to say is, if it has referee's, chaingangs, etc.

Then I'm done with Madden! Especially if the presentation and commentary kills Madden's outting this year!

As the article points out, Backbreaker's focus on the "on the field" experience makes it possible (indeed likely, imo) that there won't be any commentary at all.

Well, shoot.

So much for that...

I can't wait to play this game. Looks like I may finally get the next gen football game experience I've been looking for. When does the game come out?
