Backbreaker Video: Offensive Passing Alpha Gameplay

[TreyIM2]

I can't take too much from this alpha build vid but I didn't mind what I saw. I just want my grubby paws on this game or at least a demo so I can really see what's what.

That would be an interesting option.

In developer's diary 1 and 2, the ball is glowing. It's on ROOKIE mode, so of course the AI will be dumbed down because of this. We have no video evidence that this will occur when playing on normal or hard mode. You are being to hasty in your decisions and reviews.

They should provide some.

Show some vidoes of hard/pro/whatever it's going to be called mode and show that the AI will be better.

I agree about jumping and saying "AI SUCKS" when it's on easy/rookie/whatever it's called or by just taking any two plays (for good or bad) but I don't want to just assume it's better - show that it's better.

I agree. But saying that you hate this game off of a 1 minute video is completely insane. My point was you can't give a review like that off of a one minute video that's in the "alpha" stages, nonetheless being on easy mode. I sure wish they gave us some more detailed video footage being played. There are 3 gameplay footage that the ball is not glowing and it look's much better then this one. But still it's too short to tell. I assumed madden 10 would be as good as the trailor's, yeah...that didn't turn out well did it. That game is filled with programming errors. I'm already waiting on this one. I already traded in madden for this, madden is too easy to exploit to be any fun period. I'm still waiting on news about injuries and stuff. Come on NM, give me a quick fix.

Quoted from the Backbreaker forums. Confirms that there is still stuff to be added and refined. With that in mind this video definitely gets me more excited than the last ones. Even this video looks quite a bit smoother than the first ones did...I was actually rather disappointed with the first ones.

Edit- Forgot to mention Rob is the associate producer in case some don't know

This happens with all games, not just exclusive to BB.

It's all just a matter of opinion.

Ya, I read before the basic or acrade mode there is only a few plays. In pro there are more plays so no worries about Tecmo Bowl sized playbooks lol.
