Playing as QB took sometime to get used to, but now, I cant play the game any other way. I tried playing the demo to "other" football titles, and they just didnt have that feel I had grown accustomed to in my short time with BB. Is the game perfect? Far from it if you ask me, but I cant emphasize enough of how much I would like an alternative to spend my money on. Its a shame we are in a day and age where if you wanna play a football game, you either "pay for this one" or dont play a game at all. Natural Motion has a decent sized hill to climb if they want their game to be considered a legitimate football title, but its not fair to write them off after their first offering. I would still love to see some possible hot routing (esp making my RB stay in the backfield to block), a more efficient play calling screen, a PROPERLY implemented injury system, etc...There are a lot of other things but for the purposes of this post, I will just save them for the appropriate thread. But bottomline is, if you want change, then you must support people when they are trying.

Agreed. After reading the impressions post-patch I went out and purchased Backbreaker new. As you mention, it is FAR from a perfect game and VERY rough around the edges, but it is truly a breath of fresh air. And fun. NM has a ton of stuff to put into this game, and I think maybe even more work ahead of them now that they've got a foundation, but if they play their cards right they can have a killer on their hands the next go at it.
