To clarify, here is a quote from a developer for backbreaker

Quote:

Matt Sherman: We don't feel like we're trying to make the same type of game as a Madden or 2K Sports game. It is going to be a sim game, but we want to change some aspects of the football game. So far every game--you can trace this back to Sega '94 Madden--it's all been kind of the same camera angle, slightly tweaked. We want to offer a different type of gameplay experience that's more on the field, more emotional.

This is no blitz. But it is no Madden.

Looks promising, wont be holding my breath though.

Well, from what I've seen of the engine it looks pretty good. Only thing I'm not liking right now is the statement about it going an arcade route. We'll get the dynamic physics we're looking for, but none of the modes, ya know, season, dynasty and all those great additions. I can almost gaurantee there wont be a dynasty mode. Like I say, looks good though.

He still says he was waiting on 11 v 11 gameplay, that's not a minor detail for a football game. I'm not going to hold my breath.

Seriously folks, DO NOT take that "arcade" comment for this game being a blitz-esque game. Like I posted earlier, THEY ARE GOING FOR A HALF SIM HALF ARCADE GAME MORE ON THE SIM SIDE. This means that it'll probably be MORE realistic than Madden because can we really call them a sim, I mean lets look at the A.I. But I don't want to turn this into a madden bash thread so I will say that we will probably see in this game actual wide open gameplay, not like NCAA because A.I. won't be dumbed down.

You'll pass until you see gameplay and then well... we won't read that comment.
