Hopefully it gets some exposure, but alas the Madden idiots will continue to buy Madden no matter what.

if this game had an intuitive create-a-team component like the Winning Eleven series we would see every NFL team re-created in the game and that would make it a buy for me...but i have yet to hear anything about that

Berdy5841d ago

It does have an intuitive create-a-team component. Look at vids on youtube, people are re-creating NFL logos perfectly.

Cevapi885841d ago

seriously??...i gotta look that up

N4GAddict5841d ago

Yeah, I don't think it will sell

rwallace5842d ago

A product of no NFL license. I do think this will catch some people's eye, but the camera system might be its downfall as it takes quite a bit of getting used to. If people take the time to adjust to the different style, they will find a decent game.

I really hope the lack of an NFL licence doesn't hurt it. Then again, the original Tecmo Bowl (as well as the DS game Tecmo Bowl Kickoff) didn't have any NFL licences and they did alright.

N4GAddict5841d ago

Tecmo Bowl was popular though, this is a new IP.

rwallace5842d ago

I agree News10...But All Pro 2K8 and Blitz seemed to suffer from the lack of the license. People checked it out but int he end Madden won out. Now Even if Backbreaker does well, I still think in the end everyone will flock to Madden 11 because that NFL fix is a must have for football fans.

jdktech20105841d ago

To be fair, the next generation Blitz games suffered from the lack of NFL but also the fact it was a crappy game in general (to me anyway).

I think this franchise has serious potential but I'm still buying madden this year. They need to refine a few things but just as I hardly ever buy the first generation of a tech product, I hardly buy first game in a series that will repeat (primarily sports games)

I tried but just couldnt get into the demo...Camera angle is pretty bad at times

4 Sports Game Franchises That Should Be Dissolved

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.

dinkeldinkse5252d ago

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.
