Really? From 10 seconds of gameplay. 10 seconds that were full of highlight reel tackles. Really? More Realistic?

Rule number 1 when you are being taught to takle... Never leave your feet to tackle a player especially in a one on one situation... Diving tackles don't occur that much in real life most tackles are wrap tackles.... Which I have yet to see in a video for this game. Unique tackles all game long is great but if its all over the top then whats the point....

I saw some tackles that the ball carrier stayed in his feet. Its obvious in the big hit right before the goal line tackle.

Oh, and Madden has diving tackles too.

Backbreaker obviously "looks" better than Madden because it's more advanced, technically. The question is how it will play, so no one can say it'll be arcadish or sim because no one has seen it play, other than tackles.

Even if Backbreaker is an arcade, it will still look more realistic than Madden simply because they move/look/act realistically, compared to Madden.

No one's seen gameplay, we can't say a definitive "sim" or "arcade." Anything is an improvement over the ghastly animations of Madden, though.

Good luck to the BB lovers. I might rent it. But buying a unknown product is not going to happen. I much wheather put my 60 bucks on madden 10 and ncaa 10. But the game is worth renting to check it out. If it turns out to be good and have franchise mode and all that. Then sometime after I get madden 10 and ncaa 10 I might buy it.

I'll probably rent all three (thank you gamefly). BB is an unknown and EA has burned me too many times with new features added to the same crappy gameplay. At least I'll have modern warfare 2 if all the football games suck.

Rent or buy WHAT? Seriously, there is nothing more to suggest that this game is actually coming out any more than there was in the Summer of 2007, or the Summer of 2008. We get a still shot that depicts a screenshot of a tech demo for Backbreaker, and people assume that Tackle Alley is a fully functioning iPod game now. Use your heads! There is zero concrete proof that Backbreaker is anywhere near ready, or getting near the step where it will be printed on a disc and placed inside a green jewel case (for 360 users). Like the earlier poster said, I've never even seen more than 5 players on the field at a time.
