Backbreaker Hands on Preview tomorrow

Written by on Feb 18, 2010

Just a heads up to our faithful readers, I’ll be attending a preview event for Backbreaker Football tomorrow. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section, and I’ll try to get to them.

EDIT: Fair warning, this will probably take a while to go up, depending on whether info is embargoed or not.

  • Gene

    1. Can you please ask if Euphoria will look the same to both players in an online versus setting (ie. GTA’s Euphoria is different on each screen).

    2. How far does customization go? Upload logos? Will you be able to remove gloves or visors?

  • BA

    1. Will a standard view (AKA Madden view) be implemented into the game? Will we be able to alter the view in any way?

    2. How many Create A Players can we have? Can we upload rosters to be downloaded by others?

  • Sean

    Ask the following during Backbreaker Hands-on Preview:

    Please look at this thread:
    http://www.operationsports.com/forums/2040742499-post124.html

    Questions:
    1. Fundamental football techniques: Will there be WR vs. DB jostling techniques as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HD3AYThmqA

    2. Fundamental football techniques: Can Defensive Backs (DB) “back pedal” while keeping an eye on their assigned Wide Receiver (WR)?

    3. Fundamental football techniques: Can DB keep tab on their assigned WR using hand techniques simultaneously keeping an eye on the Quarterback & ball?

    4. Fundamental football techniques: Can the Defensive Line (DL) completely bull rush the Offensive Line (OL)? In other words, can we see the Offensive Line collapse?

  • Greg Picken

    Great questions guys!

  • strawberryshortcake

    One other thing I just remember that I want you to ask during the Backbreaker preview:

    1. Fundamental Football Techniques: Can BOTH offensive and defensive players make quick change of directions? This is NOT the “juke move” that I’m referring to. It’s completely different. To make quick change of directions, juke moves are NOT always needed.

    Example:
    A lot can be seen here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HD3AYThmqA

    1. Defensive Backs. Can they back pedal, and make quick change of directions?
    2. Offensive ball carriers. Can they run in a straight line and make quick change of directions? Such as running upfield, then all of a sudden break (not juke) in 45 degree angle, or break in a 20 degree angle, etc.

    One example of: Quick change of direction.

    3. Fundamental Football Techniques:
    Offensive Ball carriers & Defensive backs.
    (A) Can they quickly/rapidly run in the NORTH direction, then quickly change direction to NORTH-WEST or NORTH-EAST without juking.
    (B) Can they quickly/rapidly run in the SOUTH direction, then quickly change direction to the SOUTH-WEST or SOUTH-EAST without juking.

    4. Fundamental Football Techniques:
    Offensive Ball carriers & Defensive backs.
    (A) Can they quickly/rapidly go from NORTH to SOUTH, SOUTH to NORTH?
    (B) Can they quickly/rapidly go from EAST to WEST, WEST to EAST?

    Please note, what I’m really asking in the “quick change of directions” (without jukes) is if the animation is fluid.

    Please examine the Backbreaker Preview footage closely tomorrow, and ask them.

    Fundamental Football Techniques:
    (A) In order to quickly change direction, the football player needs to plant their foot to stop their forward momentum, then quickly push off that same foot and run towards a different direction.

    I have already seen the following video, but that only shows it in a 90 degree angle change (from SOUTH to EAST). We need to know that players can move change their direction in 20 degrees, 40 degrees, 60 degree angles, etc ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApqfbEqVc4c )
    (A) Please ASK if the players will be able to do this going quickly from:
    1) EAST to WEST / WEST to EAST
    2) NORTH to SOUTH / SOUTH to NORTH
    3) NORTH/WEST to NORTH/EAST
    4) SOUTH/WEST to SOUTH/EAST
    etc.

    I really want Backbreaker to succeed. This is why I am asking these be investigated tomorrow. If players can do ALL the stuff I mentioned in all the post(s), then players will be able to move realistic and fluid on the field.

    Thanks.
