Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

[Jimixiii]

I've been a day one purchaser for a while, but I had some doubts & most of them were proven wrong which I glad to say.

I thought special teams would be an issue, with the controls & camera angel I thought returns would be impossible, but it's not, I haven't returned one yet but I had a couple of really nice returns. I made a few very nice looking moves & followed my lead blocks.

The controls are a lot more responsive then I expected too, actually the most responsive I've played in maybe any sports game yet honesty.

The defensive AI is better than I expected along with the blocking. I had a great blitzing OLB picked up just in the nick of time while I has panicking in the pocket LoL

My main concern had actually been more on getting a lot of sacks while on defense, I actually don't get sacked too often, myself but I get them often. But it's seemed to be a lot better since I moved from medium to hard now. I hope there are sliders.

But overall, yes I am def still getting it on day one.

Is it too much to ask to get impressions instead of all the whining about Madden??? I want to know what folks think about the BB Demo....I already know what folks think of Madden. Save it for those forums over there--->

Anyways, mine just started downloading, woke up late, and obviously in a bad mood. But seems like minor details are the only problems here...still looking for more impressions...keep them coming.


Edit: Seems like theres a few glitches too

WOW!

I'm playing on hard and pro and the other team just steam rolled me for a TD good mix of run and throw.

I couldn't get anything going and punted away. Then I got an int in my endzone because they were about to score again.

I got a couple of big runs and a couple of nice passes and threw a beauty TD in the back of the middle of the enzone.

my guy who caught it puts his arms up to celebrate and ran into the goal post and knocked himself down!!!!
priceless!

I know some people are saying they hate the view, but from watching the vids online, the view has me fired up bigtime!! It looks unreal.

I will post how I feel in a few hours once I play it..but these vids look great folks.

Back of the Endzone....sounds hot....Are you guys seeing varied catch animations?

Also someone mentioned jump passes, is it overly sensitive where you have to be completely still to throw a regular looking pass?

does anyone know if it has the option to be locked onto one player until you change? like other ps3 users I can't wait until Tuesday.

Once all the excitement of the tackling engine wears off, I think what will make this game extend its dynamics is the ability to demonstrate the subtle differences an nuances of the different player's attributes...At least for me, this is one of a sports games biggest differentiators.

Are you guys noticing the differences in player ratings and abilities to make the game feel really dynamic or do you think everyone seems to be performing more on a linear platform?
