Backbreaker Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

[RaginCajun]

I would be amazed if the retail game is any different than what we have here.

I know a few things will be different at release, 54 more teams, all with different ratings..Team creation and franchise mode..

The gameplay is take it or leave it.

They haven't said anything about this being an earlier build, there's no reason to expect anything different at retail.

I can't believe I am respnding to you because you just like to stir the pot and be negative. But an OS Mod already said that you are wrong multiple times. He, like most people, knows that a demo release is very rarely the exact final build. You can search in this forum for that discussion if you want to, or you can try, for once in your OS life to stop butting in with negative "devil's advocate" posts every time someone says something that coneys a ray of positivity about this game.

Mestevo, we already went through this topic last week with someone else. I wish I could find the page, but Methlab is correct.

The demo memory size is 414 mb.

That includes 6 teams, exhibition games, training drills, and tackle alley. Just looking at that, I think there is a good chance the demo is a little watered down compared to the full version.

The Backbreaker forum just added a "support and feedback" section and one of the developers, Todd, is actually trying to answer all the questions.

People who have suggestions or concerns should post there. It would be awesome if someone would post a topic pertaining to the QB ineptitude as far as throwing INT's and getting sacked.

I'm stirring the pot by pointing out facts, while people insist that the demo is watered down because of things like file size? The only thing that we should expect to be different in the demo is the CPU AI in the 4th quarter not instantly being put in hurry up. What's so difficult about that?

What do you guys think they lopped out for the demo? AI? UI elements to display mythical extra stats?

They've given us no reason to expect that the full game is not well represented by the demo, and any problems we experience won't be in at launch. Just setting yourself up for disappointment expecting otherwise. This isn't the Backbreaker beta, it's the Backbreaker demo, and this is the impressions thread, not a 'well what do we expect to be different from demo' thread so maybe one should be started?

Lots of good info on this already, some good stuff for the BB info thread... passing on the run not coming, CPU vs CPU being added to 'the list' of stuff they'd like to do, considering adding options to use the left and right bumper buttons to move from WR to WR while passing, adding a user jump/pick/swat would be very difficult so not being considered.
