While I don't doubt that there are people out there who do blindly hate this game, I haven't seen any of them in this thread. I see legitimate arguments being made by people who are actually playing the game to see if they will like it or not.

Can we just stop the Madden discussion right there?

Nothing to do with Backbreaker...

Though someone debunked the User v. User idea, Tackle Alley supposedly allows multiplayer play in the demo. I'd like to hear someone's impressions on that if possible.

Wouldn't it just be a high score competition?

edit: for the record, I'd pay $15 for Tackle Alley on PSN/XBLA.

I agree no football game is perfect, but imo it is still much better than current Maddens. It gets the basics down pretty well, while Madden has yet to get things as simple as ratings that matter correct.

The camera issue is no different than in racing games where you have the option to race with the in car cam or not to. F355 Ferrari Challenge was the first game at the arcade to force you into the cockpit view and to be honest I liked that idea and have always picked the in the car view in every racing game I play. In a lot of the more serious racers when you setup an online lobby almost every time they give you the option to force the in car cam on everyone. The reason they give this option is for the simple fact that being in the car is much more difficult and provides the closest from of realism you can get.

If anything they should have made it where you have a choice to pick the view and force the view for online games. However maybe they have a grander vision to this with the camera.

I am telling you the camera is perfect for online team play. It is perfect. The controls are a bit clunky and the AI is a bit suspect, but if there is an option for 6 v 6 team play that would make this an easy game for me to endorse. As of right now I am still purchasing it but not as excited.

Yeah, if they don't like it, there's usually a legitimate reason for it. It's no different than those who enjoy it(me lol)

well why not just ask why i made the comment?

im saying that instead of like really taking this game serious as they do for madden,they should take it as the "euphoria" guys just wanting to get their product out there.i see people battering the game because it has no field goal nets,refs,sideline people etc... when its not really about that to the guys that made it.

its the fact that they revolutionized tackles and other animations in the game,dont look for anything more.
