Yea, I don't understand what is difficult to understand about what you are saying.

It feels like you are asking for options, and the others are just defending the only option we have...I don't get the "discussion". It isn't even about the same thing.

The roughing the kicker penalties are stupid but hilarious, it's not like the guy dives and hits the punter, he tackles him like he's running the ball.

I literally had 2 guys spear the punter at the same time. I thought they were going to tea-bag him afterwards.

Either does this cam, since it can't replicate peripheral vision, downfield depth perception nor the feel of players around you.

The notion that this cam makes the game more sim or realistic somehow I just don't get.

All this camera talk brings back vivid memories of the First Person Football mode in NFL2K5. The exact same pro's and con's are being said about Backbreaker as was said back in 2004.

The more things change the more they remain the same.

Give Backbreaker a chance. From what I've seen so far, this is a quality product.

It's because people don't want to be objective. They just blindly defend. Mostly youngsters, who are in that "Us vs. them" mentality, where you can only like one brand of football games.

They love to use OS buzzwords to deflect from the fact their game does have some holes in it.

Yep. I mentioned the parallel between the mechanics of 2K's First Person Football and BackBreaker's on-field view in my impression post in this thread. Sadly, FPF was largely rejected for the same things in BackBreaker. I loved First Person Football myself, and I like the view in BackBreaker. But I'm being realistic and understanding that this one thing is going to turn a lot of people off. 2K5 was a beloved game, still is, but even most of the people who love it still have strong negatives to say about First Person Football, and I'd argue that the learning curve for FPF was nothing compared to BackBreaker's.

The fact that they nailed this in a game that's not even broadcast-oriented says a lot more about the guys who aren't doing it properly...

I only played for about a total of 5 mins yesterday (had to work) but the post-play shots are what stuck out to me. They're gorgeous!
