Backbreaker


The speed is the thing I noticed most. While you may think the collision animations are brilliant in the trailers, it will take a while till you can appreciate them in game. The game moves fast and is intense. You're trying to break through the line or you're waiting for your receiver to get open and then the animation for you getting tackled is half over before you realize you're down. It's not a complaint, it's just an observation I feel deserved pointing out. While Madden and NCAA are built for people who want to watch football and change the course of the game, Backbreaker is for people who want to play football. It's easily the best non EA football game since 2k5, and I'm sure for plenty of people, it will be their new "go to" franchise -- if it succeeds.
