    Short memory is abundant, but also that engine doesn't have the capability of injuries or fatigue either.....but maybe in Backbreaker 2! *cue sarcasm*

    EA haters will latch on to anything I guess. I haven't been a fan of their football games either that past 4 years, but Jesus, Backbreaker doesn't even come close to filling that void no matter how thick the fanboy glasses are.

    I got this in the mail today (full PS3 release). I was sorely disappointed. Game is far too easy, over-complicated, lacking AI and feels "redundant" in a way that I just can't fathom how I'm going to justify playing 10-12 hours to write a proper review.

    Exactly. The terrible AI and how easy it is just to completely dominate the CPU immediately ruined it for me. Just for good measures, the camera is just horribly designed. Have fun with those 10 hours, though!

    Like I said on Twitter...if you get 10-12 hours of playing in, you're a better man than I

    Better man than most and definitely a better man than me.

    I'm extremely picky about video games and this game's demo lasted ~15 minutes before I was like, "Well, that's enough of that."

    But it's the best video game EVAR!

    there is a few people who got the game today and been streaming it online. looks like a CPU Int fest, even on hard. don't think I've seen the human lose yet, or even close to losing. AI runs on 3rd and long way too often.

    Pasta's early impressions as he rec'd the full version today. As expected, not that glowing of a review. A whole lot is wrong with the game when the most positive thing you have to say is the load times are good. But hearing how easy this game is, I may now get it again as a bargain bin deal for $10 down the road just try to get the platinum trophy. I just need a buddy who will put up with 20 online games with me to get that trophy

    It seems like pasta's comments fit in line with the majority. Some cool things in the game, but also aspects that are detrimental to the experience - both of which should have been expected going into it. I'm anxious to see Dave's review as well.


    OS was reporting that GameStop (and maybe other locations, if they get the word) have been given the green light to start selling the game tomorrow (Sat., May 29).

    Mine is selling them tomorrow. I might actually get it. I have $50 on a GS card and already have all the other games I want in the coming months preordered and paid for, but I don't know...my experience during the demo only goes with what pasta said, the AI is retarded and put up no fight whatsoever.

    You and that cat are going to find out what curiousity does. :p

    I'm tempted to get it sometime, but I just don't think I'll get my moneys worth out of it. I have RDR to complete, plus Tiger 11 and the NCAA 11 demo on the way. Not to mention a backlog of games I haven't beaten (or started) for that matter. I just don't see any longevity in the game for me to pay retail price.

    It's simply impossible to make a good football game on your first try. Even 2K's first game was OK but really lacked polish and had issues imo. It takes years. I think football is the hardest sport to program for since you have 22 players on the field and they all interact with each other on every play. It's truly a team sport where everyone must be in sync.

    That's what all the BB trolls that come to the Madden forums having been saying for over a year now. lol! The joke is on them. The demo was more than enough for me.

    I decided that I'm getting it today. My guess is that I'll get enough play time out of it to justify the $0 I have to spend on it, so it's worth it.

    I'm really hoping that a lot of people play online so I don't have to play the CPU much. Besides, have you guys looked at the trophies? I'll platinum that in 8 hours tops.

    Wow, TD catches in the back of the end zone are ruled as touchbacks. This game is a complete POS. They should have taken another 4 years to develop it before being bold enough to ask anyone for $50. I don't think I'll even bother with the demo. I've got better ways to waste my life.

    Yeah the trophy list has what has brought me back to bargain bin buy status. I'll pay $10 for it....maybe $15 at the most.

    Yeah it is just making the anti-EA BB blind lovers look so dumb. Don't forget roughing the kicker on a kickoff return for a TD
