Don't claim "great customization" if that is the case. A fantastic logo editing and uniform editor by themselves do not equal "great customization." The devs dropped the ball on what could have been an incredible game IMO.

Well if this is true then that comment just sealed the deal for me.....

No way in hell can I pick up this game without being able to edit my own player ratings........

You can't even make the CPU players smarter to jump start their offense...

My point is, I dont feel any credit was given to what this game has done right, and acomplished. The gameplay and physics are simply in another world. Its sad they really got no credit at all.

He lied by omission, he spent several pargraphs bashing the game and one positive sentence on the physics..But he has the right to his opinion..I personally dont see what the big deal is, other games have flaws at release and get patched..why not this one?

I think the Hard setting might be too hard for the CPU's QB against the AI defensive teammates of the Human......if that makes sense...lol. but yeah, if anyone is part of Pasta's website, ask him to put up videos of him beating the computer....with the weakest teams...lol.

I thought about it and ive never played a game on its highest setting and never lost... lowers his impressions credibility

Pasta is just the messenger. 90% of what Pasta claims has been verified by playing the demo or documented on other sites and forums. Attacking Pasta or saying he is pro-EA does not change the fact that Backbreaker has serious deficiencies.

Form your own opinions...if YOU are personally liking the game, and are finding it enjoyable and challenging, that is all that matters.

does anyone know if your playing the road to BB or just a season, if your team and other teams get better over time? will the cpu teams ratings go higher if they win a bunch of games?? All these impressions are from just exhibition games? Since the game comes out today it doesnt really matter but I woulda liked to see people playing the other game modes and comparing the games from exhibition to road to BB
