Still, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the final game when it ships in April 2010. Here's a quick breakdown:
- There's no NFL license, so customization will play a big part in the game. You can create your own players, teams (even their logo, using a logo editor), and seasons, but Backbreaker will have up to 32 premade teams to select from as well. We haven't seen the customization feature yet, but we're hoping the logo editor offers enough variety to really create what you want. The development team also hasn't quite figured out how to bring all of customization functionality online (referencing NCAA Football's deep online customization system), but it's working on it."

Michael, Ray, and the best of the worst for the week of October 14th!
There are many sports franchises that are fantastic editions to the world of gaming, deserving both as an edition to their respective gaming field and to video gaming at large. Other franchises, however, have seen their time. It’s time for these franchises to go the way of the dinosaur before they get even worse than they already are.
Should be dissolved too. The yearly additions are essentially the same except for rosters, schedules, and new stadiums.
I would go as far as to say that most of these games are actually worse than the previous iteration.
