Staying power is very important. The game has so many different playing modes. First there are two seperate franchise modes. Then you have split screen, co-op, tackle alley and the customization tools will keep you very busy as well. They are shipping the game with 60 ready made teams.

One of the major flaws with All Pro Football 2K8 was the lack of depth. Only one single season mode and a limited editing tool. It's hard releasing an non licensed game. You gotta give the gamer alot in return as the trade off. From what it looks like, Backbreaker is doing that for their May 25th release.

I agree here, because some people only hear what they want hear and they totally miss the point. There are a few on the official forum that have done this already. It's time this gets straightened out.

Football is not a game of chess when it comes to a single player on the field, which is what we will be each time we switch from QB to RB/WR or on defense. Those people looking for another chess match will be disappointed. Finishing the play off will be up to the position you are playing at the time.

i have to agree. when he mentioned it not being a chess match i immediately thought of the god camera view that other games provide that gives you the ability to plan your next move as a ball carrier.

i think the chess match of play calling will be there and will be more valuable than ever.

Anyone else annoyed by 1. Their Spokesperson is English 2. He speaks out the right side of his mouth when he says certain words.

Like someone else said, would be like marketing Fifa in the UK with a American.

Or even worse an American that has a quirky habit when he speaks...

I agree!

I love everything I see so far, just wish the players didn't all look the same. Maybe if it's a success those other things will fall into place.

ok i been looking thru this thread and i didnt see anybody mention the flip he did or wteva he did but it looked like a flip , when the WR scored off the deep pass. When he got into da endzone looked like he did a flip . And nobody mention the fumble on the first play and how the players was going after the ball.

And one more thing why is it a big deal they celebrated. ya should be happy to see that. If they celebrate that much off a extra point. CANT WAIT TO SEE WHEN YOU GET A GAME WINNING SCORE

Actually this post annoys me a little bit.

I can't wait..this game looks amazing and is a WELCOME change. I am so sick of the same type of football game shoved down my throat every year. Some people used to post here and say it was vaporware like they had a clue. I guess those folks will have to reconsider, because this game looks like the best football game out for 360..we shall see, but the gameplay looks head and shoulders above the other option.

I saw a pass play to a TE in a prior video where the player clearly looked like a blocking/safety valve type of TE, so they got the positional builds right.

I can't wait to be sacked from the blind side. I'm really excited about the 3rd person camera. It may not be better but it's different and should give us all a completely new and fun experience.

When I first heard there would be cusomization in the game, I was so excited about making only NFL and NCAA teams, but after watching this video I'm more excited about making anything and everything I can imagine. I will have fun using my artistic skills on anything from celebrities to superheros in my endzones. Anyway, heres another forza vid showing all 32 nfl teams...

Can you share what you've made? I'm sorry if this has been asked but I know for a fact I'm not going to be artistic enough to make the NFL logos.

We should expect a Backbreaker 2, although some people don't believe there will be. I however, see things differently. They have very little overhead as they do have an extremely small dev team. Therefore, they do not have to pay alot of employees.

The foundation has been laid for BB, so BB2 is definitely not out of the question. Rob even said at the end of the interview that it leaves room for the future.

Sweet. Fancy. Moses.

This friggin game looks amazing--most def a day one purchase for me.

This much customization; paired with a franchise. I'm sorry, but Madden who?
 
# 59 Phobia @ 03/24/10 06:17 PM
I have already paid for BB in full months ago. But it is good to see that the info is starting to come out. I think Madden needs to be some what worried.

Not because I think BB will beat Madden in areas like franchise, or options, etc. But I think the gameplay tech is the future. I can see people picking it up and seeing true weight and momentum matter and having a hard time going back to canned animations.

That is my current fear. I like Madden 10 and think it is a good game. But I also see BB as the future of sports gaming. I can see it already, that this NM physics system being so revolutionizing that I can't pick up Madden with its canned system anymore.

That seems to be the plan phobia. It looks like a great plan to me. If Backbreaker is as great as it looks and feels as good as we think it will feel, then I can see all sports games developers going the route of natural physics in their games.
