backbreaker

[DSpydr84]

It doesn't look like it's "football"... like it's all kick returning basically. Still looks fun as hell, shit I'd play a game where all I did was kick return lol. But defense would be weird.

This games been in development for a loooooong fucking time, im expecting to be amazed at the final product.

FYI, they are just toying around with the ball, that's not some power up or anything retarded like that.

I see generic teams

apf 2k8 V. 2?

APF failed because of the lack of NFL teams.... I don't put backbreaker any higher.

APF was a pretty good game, it wasn't any better then Madden, but it was just as good, the lack of the NFL liscence killed it.

so I'm not inclined to believe that gameplay is going to help out Backbreaker that much, maybe Backbreaker will be an absolutely incredible game, I just hope they can survive that first year and build up enough of a base to actually gain enough money to make a second game.

2K had a legitimate loss after APF, and 2K had a pretty good fan base before they lost the license.

2k8 tried to compete with Madden.

Backbreaker is not competing with Madden because it's not the same as Madden or 2k8 for that matter.


Chase cam football, not the standard you see with football games currently.

They've also said 11 vs 11.......now I don't know if that meant 11vs11 online? Some of the dev guys mentioned playing various positions in their twitter. It could have simply been to quell the rumours that this game wasn't going to have 11 players per side. Not sure yet.

You'll see modes like Tackle Alley (the video) and such. I don't believe they have designs to build out a GM style franchise mode and things like that, it seems they have no interest in doing what Madden does.

If they were smart they would beat madden to the punch and do 6v6 online ala NHL 09 and the EASHL. 11 man teams but only 6 human controlled, cause who really wants to play offensive lineman. If they made the unis and players really customizable I think they would have a hit.

they haven't gone official with releasing info.....coming in May.


but they suggested 11 vs 11 and stated they had some great solutions for online.

with this game, playing OL may not be so bad......but I'm sure 11 v 11 wouldn't be forced if that was the case.

I cant wait for this game. Should we put this official backbreaker thread in the "other sports" section?

Agree to disagree because I think APF destroyed Madden in almost every facet imaginable. It's a shame it sold so poorly just because of the lack of the NFL license.

probably.

once they go 'official' with their media in a couple weeks, i'll bring it up with Len.

I'm sure this game with garner a lot more attention once some quality media starts to roll out.

If All-Pro had a franchise mode it would have done a lot better. A sports game without a franchise/dynasty mode is only half a game.

I think that and the NFL license were the only thing Madden had over APF. Gameplay, animations, details (sidelines, etc.), graphics were all better in APF.

Ill tell ya if you were just able to create your own rosters and teams.....AP Football would have been a mega hit!.

Also yes, they needed Franchise mode

I'm gonna have to disagree.

 

[jms493]

I'm gonna have to disagree.

ok maybe not.......they just look different.....i dont know if that different is good though

 

[killgod]

for me they alright, but my desire for this title is all about how it plays.

i'm amped to see what it's going to be like to play a game that doesn't have preset animations.


those graphics aren't ugly.....which is all that matters to me
