"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."
All I have to say is... Madden Graphics + Euphoria = Top seller for many years... Not that the graphics are bad in BackBreaker, but I think that Maddens Graphics would be more authentic... Awesome game!!!
How many years are we gonna say IF MADDEN DID THIS it would be the best ever? Obviously madden either really don't know how to give what we want of they just don't care cause we will continue to buy the product cause they added a BS new feature..
On Offense, I am actually scared and trigger happy as a qb. Especially in Focus mode. After getting absolutely crushed by a DE, I got really nervous. The DE just swam past my tackle and I was just a sitting duck. I have never experienced that feeling in Madden/NCAA/2K/Joe Montana Sports talk etc. I love the camera view for QB. Twice I thought I had a guy open deep and twice I through right to the safety that I did not see for an INT. You pay for mistakes when throwing. A very good thing. I thought passing was going to be easy but I am struggling so far. I also like looking for the primary rather than assigned buttons for receivers. It's a learning curve, but it feels a bit more realistic. Didn't run the ball too much, but it felt good when I did.
On Defense, I felt disoriented. Much more used to the see everything view. It feels like you are playing a position and not commanding the entire defense. Takes getting used to. I was running around like a chicken without a head. I think I need to pick a position and just play that the entire time. I ussually like playing DE in FB games, but I found it fun to play MLB.
Overall, I am more likely to purchase after the demo. Sure I wish the game had fatigue/injuries, but the gameplay may be able to make me forget all about it. Very refreshing take on the game of football.
Try stiff arming with the same hand you have the ball in. It doesnt not automatically switch, he lunges with his shoulder instead. You have to switch the ball to other hand first. This game just feels like football.
Teach me oh great one. LOL. I have been trying to pull this off.
Is there a reason why they are not giving us an option for a traditional camera angle?
Imo, this could be the best football game ever made with a better camera angle.
Because they're specifically trying for a more on-field play style. The lack of camera angles was a design choice from the start. This way is more realistic anyway.
Wow I just saw something amazing. It was a defensive pass interference penalty on my team. The amazing part is when they showed the replay you could actually see the cb holding the guy up and as a result the wr lost his balance and went down.
The first real and organic pass interference penalty in any football game to date.
By the sounds of things I am going to prefer the BB demo to Madden11.lol
I ain't got live so waiting for someone to upload it somewhere and burn off.
Can't frigging wait.
Next time you kickoff, as you're running down the field, go into aggressive mode and when you approach a blocker hit up on the right stick. LOL. I just leveled a guy.
If you want a challenge play with either Charleston or Columbus (?). One of the two "average" teams. You'll see where ratings matter. I feel like some of my guys are being dominated physically. I just got my linebacker put on his *** coming in for the blitz. The CPU QB had all day to throw and dropped it in over the coverage for a 50-something yard gain.
