I've never played a game that constantly blurred like BackBreaker is doing. I have something called keratoconus, which is the deterioration of the cornea. The cornea is the hard/rigid lense in your eye that goes over the retina. Mine are so thin that they bubble up easily with excessive eye strain. Any time your eyes are focusing, your eye muscles are being used. When you squint, you are using your eye muscles to cause the cornea to bend so you can see further. My cornea is so thin, especially on the right eye which is far worse than the left, that it will wobble back and forth when it can't focus on something. Because it is so thin, it actually bubbles up like the following image (though definitely not 'as bad' as the example below): Needless to say that playing BackBreaker caused my eyes to go all twitchy on me, and the cornea to wobble a lot, causing the muscles to work like crazy trying to get things in focus and causing the headache. I hope they provide some type of option to turn that blurring off. I've messaged their community manager on twitter, but no response from him. I'd buy the game, but won't now, as there's just no way I can play it unless perhaps I run out of bounds on every play?

Just wanted to report there's some hope for me yet to play BackBreaker. Their community manager asked me to email them the problem I was having. I recognize I'm an outside case, but I'm definitely hoping they'll be able to make an option to turn that end of tackle blur off so I can play the game. If I get word the change will be made, I'll pick up the game as soon as it's available.

Thumbs up for community management!

Glad to hear that Val.

Im waiting for the PS3 demo to drop......Also, how much do we know of how deep online play will be?

IF I like the gameplay and feel good about the camera, that is going to make or break for me. I dont see myself playing this if there are no online leagues.

Online play is just exhibition games

I am liking the demo so far. I see a major issue right not I havn't seen mentioned, although I didn't really all 100 pages of the post. I have called punt return and got flagged for roughing the kicker 5 times in a row. My luck can't be that bad. The replays were really nice though watching the kicker barely get the ball off and get creamed.

Yeah, this happens at various difficulties during certain team matchups. Some people rarely have it happen (like the INT problem) but many have seen it.

Even better is half the time it doesn't get called, someone just flat out demolishes the kicker anyways.

But I'm guessing you accidentally the whole thing, right?
