Backbreaker Fact Sheet and Screenshots

[PVarck31]

It could have the greatest franchise mode in the history of gaming, but if the gameplay isn't good then its worthless. I see a lot of post simply assuming the gameplay will be great. I have feeling a lot of people will be let down. I honestly hope its awesome, but a first attempt at 11 on 11 football from an unknown developer, using an unproven engine, has me a bit worried. I guess you could say it worked before, but Visual Concepts had done football before NFL 2K.

I am just glad to see some life from the Backbreaker guys. I am happy to have another football game! I dont care if it beats Madden I could care less. If madden continues to improve it will be good for all football game players. I dont understand the fan boy type for any game/console or anything else.

Quick clarification:

There are more than 32 teams.

The game features a multi-year season mode incl. drafting and scouting. We're not calling it Franchise right now because we know how fussy you guys are about Franchise mode. We will call it Franchise in the future when we feel we can meet all the expectations that that term evokes.

Hope that clears things up a bit.

Me either. For some reason, owning a ps3 means you have to hate 360 and vice versa. And enjoying madden means you have to hate any other football game in existance.

This game will not threaten madden sales wise and it may go badly, but at least it's a new football title. Playing madden, with the same gameplay and same controls year in and year out becomes stale after awhile. I can't wait to try a new passing game and watch new tackle animations and see what else these guys tried.

Anyone who has bought Madden over the past 5 years IMO should go out and support Backbreaker at least for now.
EA never gave anyone hope that Madden warranted another purchase but tons dropped the 60.00 on it every year, me included. Not because we love EA but we love football.

I will support backbreaker and give them the same chance I've given EA. Even with no franchise in year 1 I will give them the 60.00.

Show me each year you are making strides and I'll support it, don't do that and I won't.

A philosophy I should have used with Madden.

Now before anyone that loves EA/Madden pops up I do feel Madden 10 was a good job and while it still needs work at least IMO they improved it.

However bottom line is I love the sport and not the company.
If Backbreaker is truly customizable (And I don't even care if I can make it an NFL looking game) and they eventually make a franchise or even online only franchise I will be happy.

I just want an improved football game each year.

I couldn't agree more with what Skyboxer just said. This game is helping to push the envelope of football games. If your scared it might be bad rent it first. If you like it then buy it. If not then don't. It's that easy.

There is franchise Skyboxer. Tortsen Reil, main guy on the project over at NM, has confirmed it. They have over 32 teams and have multiple seasons with scouting, drafts, progression, etc.

The only thing I hope for is we can select the number of teams. I'll happily play a 48 teams franchise, but it would be nice to use only 32. It would be crazy with 120 teams. College Football anybody!?!?!
