Backbreaker Hands-On (Gamespot)

[asu666]

I want All Pro 2K10 with a pimped out Owner Mode. Backbreaker looks like it will lean too far in the Blitz camp for my tastes.

It's worth keeping an eye on this "project" (I refuse to call Backbreaker a "game" until we see anything suggesting that title would be appropriate). But I don't see how anyone can have high expectations for this game. The ONLY thing we've seen so far is a bunch of teaser trailers with last-gen player models and a few cool tackles.

This game is fast becoming the "Too Human" of sports titles. That's what happens when you keep going to the press hyping concepts, as opposed to working on a finished product.

i have no hope for this game. there is barely any info on it and it suppose to be release in 08 no way. It has to be push back in 09 with the little info it has.

I would love to have a fully customable football game where, if you want to, recreate the USFL or what ever football league you want!!! now THAT would be a football game!!

That link didn't tell me much, other than that there seems to be a message board for Backbreaker that nobody posted on since July 2008.

You can refer to my 8/25/08 post in this thread where I refused to treat this as a legitimate "game" project. This game and APF 2k8 were supposed to be the two football projects that would save football on 7th gen consoles, and both have been unmitigated failures, for different reasons.

I never saw anything that would suggest this was anything more than a physics project or "proof of concept" video. The best we could have realistically helped for anyway would've been a new NFL Blitz ripoff.

LOL BB be lucky to even sale half the copies madden 10 will this year. BB is not on real threat to EA madden. Never ever will be unless all of a sudden NFL gave the nfl rights to BB. Which would never happen. Because if NFL does why they are under contract with EA. Then Ea has a right to sue NFL for breaking their contract. So all BB will ever be is a arcadish type football game like blitz.
