Madden has sucked the last 5 years. Why do they keep taking out features that no one complains about and keep adding crappy new features. No one complained about slide protection and yet they removed it in 08. Now they are going to re-introduce it as a new feature in 09. What a bunch of BS. People that are buying this recycled game every year are morons. I don’t care if you’re a billionaire, $60 is $60.

[quote comment="21150"]Pasta, what about Backbreaker??? I am more excited about that then Madden or NCAA combined. It is going to revolutionize the way we play sports video games and it could potentially be one of the best football games to date.[/quote]

Until I see some actual football PLAYS on the Backbreaker demo I will definitely withhold final judgement, BUT right now all I have seen about Backbreaker is a very enticing graphics and physics engine (Euphoria) and absolutely NOTHING regarding AI, gameplay or features.

Don’t get me wrong…I believe and have believed for years now that EA should have brought the Euphoria engine to Madden and NCAA already, but when I see the tech demo video I immediately noticed something – defenders had a VERY annoying tendancy to dive at the runner and miss, a lot. I know its just a tech demo meant to show off the different and unique animations and tackling physics, but graphics and animations alone do make a killer 11-on-11 football sim or game for that matter.

I hope that Backbreaker takes all the best features and AI and functionality of both EA and 2K games and wraps it up in that pretty little Euphoria bow, but until I see hands-on footage of people actually PLAYING it, it remains vaporware for now…

You can have how many ever players you want up to 12. It also give the commissioner the option of removing or adding players.

I’m sorry but I haven’t seen this written anywhere I’ve looked for sure, can you have just 2 guys in an online franchise? I know Madden you have to have all 32 players which is ridiculous, but NCAA seems ahead of the game on this. Any word? Thanks, guys.

To me Backbreaker is the most anticipated football game.

http://www.maddenwars.com has a great interview with the guy that implemented the online dynasty for NCAA. I think the Madden team should have made this guy work with them.
