This may be a silly question, but is this only on XBOX360? I want to check this out.

Re: Backbreaker Preview

All I have to say is, if it has referee's, chaingangs, etc.

Then I'm done with Madden! Especially if the presentation and commentary kills Madden's outting this year!

As the article points out, Backbreaker's focus on the "on the field" experience makes it possible (indeed likely, imo) that there won't be any commentary at all.

Developers have drawn inspiration from movies like Any Given Sunday and Friday Night Lights, as well as the Nike Gridiron commercial that featured Michael Vick and Terrell Owens.
Well, shoot.

So much for that...

I can't wait to play this game. Looks like I may finally get the next gen football game experience I've been looking for. When does the game come out?

Re: Backbreaker Preview

Meh, not enough details for me yet.

The new engine sounds great though and I credit the developers for having the guts to implement it, but there are so many little things from playcalling AI, clock management, roster management, fatigue, scheduling, yada, yada....that need to be there for a football game to have longevity.

What's the big secret guys? Release the info.

Unless this game is $20, I'm not buying it. It is really just a glorified tech demo to put pressure on EA to buy their technology. Assuming EA actually implemented it, instead of just sitting on it like they do the ESPN license that would be great.

I kind of feel the same away about this game.
