There's more to being a top-flight football player than tremendous strength, precise reflexes, and blistering speed. One of the more overlooked attributes of a position like running back is vision, specifically peripheral vision. After all, what good is all that strength, speed, and precision for a ball carrier who can't see a defensive end coming in from the side to clobber him? That's one of the challenges the developers at Natural Motion are facing with the upcoming Backbreaker, the upcoming unlicensed football game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
With Football season upon us, TechRaptors Robert Grosso tackles one of the best alternatives to Madden from last generation, Backbreaker.
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.
man this game is going to be sick ...watch out madden cuz your days have been numberd now its time to bow down ...the only thing madden has going for it anyway is that the nfl is on it,,just pic this game with nfl players ,wow...i already brought my copy two weeks ago from amazon .espn nfl 2k5 players should do the same ..no more arcady football for me ..im so happy..
As an arcade football game, it looks ok. As a football sim this game is crap. For starters there's a bunch of illegal tackles that will get you fined if not thrown out of the game in the NFL. Then there's the single body shape and horrible throwing motion.
Oh, and the generic uniform looks like a modern day Tecno Bowl.
