Did anyone else get this game? I thought it was a good waste of 50 bucks

I got it. I like it and I hope they get a chance to build on it.

The game is hard, especially the passing. I love the running game.

It takes getting used to because the controls are so different than any other football game I have ever played.

I've heard people say "it's too different." Well if 505 Games made an exact replica of Madden - what would you play? Madden or Madden's rip-off?

They had to do something different to try and win over some people.

But like I said to someone else, this is a game you'll either love or absolutely hate.

It seems like you hate it. Sucks that you lost out on 50 bucks. I assume you didn't download the demo?

I think that there's alot of minor issues that they missed. They replay system is the worst I've ever seen. Why can't I zoom in and out or focus on different players. Also the offensive line is really bad and the computer fumbles too much for my liking. My feeling on games like these is shouldn't they have more of story line than just playing the game sorta like Blitz the League.

I got ya.

One issue I have is that D-lineman don't explode off the line. It's like they stand upright first, then start moving forward.

But the storyline route worked for Blitz because they were an arcadey game and doing thing like giving players steroids etc.. It fit for them.

Backbreaker is trying to be a sim. I hope they get a chance to make another. Unlike All-Pro Football 2K8.
