The Line Drive is a weekly collection of news, links, and updates that didn’t necessarily warrant their own postings.

The next patch for MLB 2K10 has reached certification and should be out within the next two weeks.

350K people played Madden 10 online once and then never again. That is a large number but probably not as significant as it sounds.

The latest UFC 2010 developer blog answers some questions submitted in relation to the demo.

The latest Backbreaker videos includes customization and a running game tutorial.

News and content that may have been missed from the last week around the site.

Review: Iron Man 2. More of the same as the original and a lot of fun.

New Trailer for Inception. The Christopher Nolan movie is out July 16th.

The Trailer for Super 8. The super secret JJ Abrams project.

First Trailer for Machete. New film from Robert Rodriguez starring Danny Trejo.

A Nightmare on Elm Street Getting 3D Sequel. Opening weekend box office made it inevitable.

Backbreaker customization is CRAZY! Looks like fun.
Craig S

Why do you say the 350,000 number is “probably not as significant as it sounds”? I think that's huge.
paul e.

lol@pasta sneaking that backbreaker customization video in this lil line drive update like it isn't significant. what a joke. if that was in an EA game he'd write a 5-paragraph essay about it and include 27 polls. you're a hater.

It really isnt that significant since most people won’t be able to use it to the extent that they’d want to or even bother with it in the first place. I’ve continued to cover Backbreaker more than any site out there even though prospects aren’t looking good for the game.

I suspect a similar % that play every game try online and then dont go back to it. I don't think that would be any different with something like Modern Warfare 2 which probably had a much bigger number than that it just hasn't been publicized.
jace

No one gives a shit about Backbreaker but a few BB fanboys. The game looks terrible.
nhiverson

I wouldn't say it looks terrible I think it looks like a change of pace from madden I will rent it and if its fun I will buy it just like when I rent madden if its fun I'll buy.

The reason for this large number is because Madden (and NCAA) suck online. There is far too much lag for it to be an enjoyable experience. I'm actually not in this number because I tried going online about 3-4 times just to give Madden the benefit of the doubt. Whenever I tried to go online, the lag affected gameplay. Its evident right from kick offs where if you time the meter with what you see on the screen, you will always kick with half or less power. The only way I found to get around this is to close your eyes and use the timing in your head that you remember from offline play.

Futher, its difficult to run or to throw because of lag. Because it takes so long for your command to throw the ball to reach the servers, by the time your QB actually releases the ball, it is sure to be intercepted. Similarly, juking or spinning simple doesn't work because the lag causes you to be tackled before the spin or juke takes place.

I just don't understand how games like COD can do online so well with 16 players firing bullets and grenades from all directions while Madden can't even handle 2 players at a time. Now Madden 11 is supposed to have 3 on 3 online. Hopefully this means that they will have increased online performace. Otherwise, there is no way that 3 on 3 will ever work. If it has the same amount of lag that it does currently, there will be no way to coordinate QB to WR passing.

Your right all the madden sheep like you. but for people who actually have a open mind, in not let the EA nut drip from their mouths(like you love to)are looking forward to playing a football game based on physics, not ice skating robotic so called “football” like same shit every year 11. it's a shame that EA has your mind that deep, that you will deprave yourself of a potentially great football game. oh will, your lose, have fun with your arcade football game.
Que?

i havent had lag issues with EA games since like 08.

Alot of peeps go online just to download rosters.
ryan2318

I've always had issues with Madden and NCAA online and that is at four seperate locations with four seperate broadband connections. I would like to play online but it is simply not enjoyable.

Lots of peeps go online just to get roster update.
