This is not EA's fault. Come on. NaturalMotion dug their own grave with releasing a game that wasn't quite ready, releasing a patch that then broke their not ready game, and failed to support it further.

Ahh, what a shame. I remember the world of potential this game had when it was first released. Unfortunately, it never panned out.

Come on Tecmo!

My wishful thinking hope:
Natural Motion is licensing the base code and Euphoria engine for Backbreaker to a third party company making a football game, and part of the agreement is that Natural Motion kill off Backbreaker full on football as we know it.

One can dream right? It is amazing that they would just squash something that had so much promise.

How is it EA's fault that a terrible football game failed?

It didn't even feel like football, football logic didn't work and it was all based around arcade gameplay. It wasn't about to compete with Madden, maybe Blitz the League, or the orginal blitzes, but it was never a sim game.

Yeah it had a lot of potential but they didn't put the effort and let it collapse. Which is sad because a physics based football game that actually came out good would be beautiful.

Who said it was EA's fault?
