New Backbreaker Video

[Pandemonium00]

They're supposed to have a big announcement at E3, so then and after that time should be when all the information floods in.

These videos look great. The running animation is a bit wierd. However, the aniatino with the Four person gang tackle looks real. It looks a lot better then the Rugby Scrum that Madden is trying to pass off as gang tackling. Did you notice on the 4 man gang tackle homeboy gets his you know what pushed in. He doesnt stand up 5 people. REAL TALK!!

I'll say it again. All these tackles look crazy because they are released to get hype. As much as I want to see regular tackles, it won't happen. They're not going to release a trailer filled with the perfect tackle. It would make the casuals think the game is boring.

Also, most of this is all user controlled. EA does the same thing in their trailers. Madden even admitted to it. They do it to make big plays and show off certain aspects.

Madden fanboys are upset that they are about to be usurped from their throne. This games scares the **** out of them, for some reason. Maybe it's because mommy only gives them enough money to buy one game? No single iteration of Madden thus far looks better than this "Vaporware" footage we've seen so far. Why does this game that does not exist, already resemble real football, much more so than Madden?

I'm not a fan of any football game but have been an avid college football game player for a while. I have never owned 1 copy of Madden but skipped NCAA 2009. I would LOVE for EA to have competition. The problem stems from the Backbreaker folks who want to say that BB is better than Madden or that it "resemble(s) real football" when there has been zero footage from a game that wasn't a close up of a tackle. Yes, we get it, the tackles are different every time a player is hit. That tells me nothing about the things I care about as a football gamer. I want to know about AI and gameplay elements that affect how it is played. I don't care one iota about seeing a different tackle every time if the tackle occurs because of stupid AI.

Don't worry, I'm not a madden fanboy, I don't even play madden...but this comment is so ignorant. The physics are more realistic, but it resembles real football more than madden? What because theres a football, some people who wear pads and tackle each other? WOW! I now see all the comparisons.

I am hoping for this game to come out(and be good), but unless you have secret videos which the public has not seen then that comment is just wrong.

This just makes Madden and NCAA's animation stuff look silly.

It looks like real people.

There's some rough stuff, yea - the jukes in the Tackle Alley vid look bad, and the guys just don't pick their legs up enough when they run.

But the way they move just looks 1000000x more natural than EA's.
