"BACKBREAKER™ is a new, revolutionary football experience that takes you straight onto the field. Breakthrough euphoria tackles, non-canned animation, and stunning on-field graphics make BACKBREAKER™ the first truly live football game."
Even better is half the time it doesn't get called, someone just flat out demolishes the kicker anyways.
It is backbreaker and we don't protect the punters here. J/k I didn't see it mentioned anywhere but figured I wasn't the only one to see it. I had it on Pro/Medium. Hopefully this was tweaked in retail.
Has anyone figured out how to quickly switch from your first receiver to your 4th or anything like that? because right now, I have to throw to the first or 2nd option or I get sacked because I simply can't move my focus fast enough. And it's not like I look and see if my 1st is open, then switch to the 2nd, see that he's covered and switch again. I'm saying I hike and immediately try to switch to the guy on the opposite side of the field because I know he has a mismatch but I can't get to him fast enough.

Before the play hold LT and move the right stick left and right. You can pick who you want to focus on when the play starts.
I am going to call you King Val. I hope they could change the blur for your sake. I always like your take on football games.
Yea, they need to get rid of this. I had a play on defense last night that would blow your mind. I'm normally too lazy to take videos but I actually thought about breaking out the camcorder and putting it on youtube. When I went into instant replay I discovered the end of the play (and best part) was blurred out rendering the idea moot. I was like wut?
Wow, just learned this on the BB forums, thanks Bonecrusher...
"You can also use the R stick to move the camera and scan the field during a play on defense. You can also move the camera with the R stick pre-snap to focus where you want to be looking when the play starts."
This makes a huge difference if you want to play secondary. Pre-play I can rotate the camera towards the inside then when the ball is snapped it will stay in that angle so I can cover my man while also keeping an eye on what the QB is doing. If it's a run you're set up with a good angle, if it's a pass away from you just rotate slightly with the right stick or go into focus mode and you're set.
The only problem is that it won't let you rotate fast enough pre-snap, there's a delay after you're set up for the play. Could be a problem if the QB snaps the ball right away, although at worst you'll be facing straight at your man so it's not a disaster. This delay is probably the reason I never figured out you could do this.
Loving the cam on "D" now, not so much on offense.
A couple other issues:
On kickoffs and punts if the returner doesn't catch the ball it always seems to bounce backwards. It's a football so it should bounce all over the place leading to chaos right?
Is there a trick to playing DL? You can't fire off the line when the ball snaps, I'm always slower than the rest of my DL. In one case so slow that an OL didn't even feel I was a threat so he blocked someone else, and by the time I got to him I had a clear path to the QB! There seems to be a delay with the stick or something. Other positions have been ok in this regards, it's just DL.

If you hold Right Trigger before the snap all you then have to do is just time the snap with your left stick to attack the QB and you get your explosion off the line.
fluck sony this is bogus. i was fiending to get off work today just to download the demo. i'm not copping this without playing the demo first so we'll see eventually..
You can see alot with a flick of they eye. If your head is turned to the right you don't have to turn your whole head to see to the left. And that is the problem I have with the camera, you need an angle that can replicate head turns AND the additional space you can see with split second eye movements. Panning back and up a bit I think can help in this area.
I'm not sure if there is such thing as a perfect camera angle, and I like the default camera at times but others I don't. Also, don't you realize "real life" NFL players can see behind their heads? Their head may be facing straight ahead but their eyes are facing up looking at the live stadium TV screen to see who's behind them. You won't be able to do that in this game so by golly it's not realistic!
Lol nice. But yea I definitely agree and I have no doubt in my mind they will make those type of adjustments in BB2. I just know when I played and got a little bit of open field, my eyes were mostly ahead. You are really moving too fast to look around. You trust your instincts and try to get the most yards possible. That is what I do in BB and I gain yards by doing so. Look for defenders overpursuing, wait for your linemen and only use RT at the right times.
I just bought UFC2010 and currently wishing it was BB. I can't wait for next week.
