Some Pros of the game are: The Fantastic Team customization - I have never play a sports game that you could create your own logo instead of using a premade one. I spent hours making NFL teams and NCAA teams. Tackling Physics - Though it can be a bit glitchy at times, you can actually feel the hits. It's great not seeing the same animations. Tackle Alley - Tackle Alley is great if you want to take a break from normal exibiton games or League mode. Camera Angle - Many people may disagree with me, but I loved the camera angle. It took some time to get used to, but I ended up appreciating it. Its an interesting touch to actually have a blind spot when your passing. Cons: Throwing - I don't hate the passing controls, I just find it difficult at sometimes. Every now and again you'll accidently bump your analog stick and throw to the wrong guy. Overall I would tell anyone looking for a new football game to pick up Backbreaker. I would also tell them don't play it and expect it to be like Madden or other football games. But once you get the hang of the controls and camera angle, this game will become a geat alternative or even replacment for madden.

Different tackling, Tackle Alley, etc. You can download the 3rd patch and it has many more plays and better passing. Sound is only flaw, turn your own music on.

i had this game for my iPad and loved it so when I heard about the ps3 version I was excited about it. When I got home I started playing it and it was okay. Split screen mode on exhibition is a little hard to get se to but on tackle alley it's the best. F you get this game I recommend you play tackle alley with or without a friend.

to all those who call this the madden killer you aren't a real gamer. You don't know what you are talking about this game is terrible. the graphics are good not great. the controls are terrible maybe if the controls were better and i had better control of the team versus one individual player zoomed in it would be fun. This is like playing madden superstar just 50x worse. dont waste your money stick with madden or blitz.

I have Both Backbreaker and Backbreaker 2 for my IPod. I enjoy them and play them often. I was so psyched when I found out I could get it for my PS3! So i got it and I was glad I got it used, that way I could take it back. The game is great but the controls are difficult and they throw so much at you you just can't keep up! It was just way too difficult for me to find out all the controls and everything. I do not recommend this game to anyone and think you should either get, or stick with Madden.

Yea, no official rosters, but that doesn't rule Backbreaker out. Realistic hits, camera angles, and stadiums dominate this game. There are many positives on this game, but controls is not one of them. Of course Madden fans would not appreciate the controls, but you learn to get over that. The physics in this game are so great. The back of the game says "No two tackles look the same" . 100% truth. You can create your own team and players to play with to bring your team through the ranks. There is an eight team league, a sixteen team league, and the official thirty two team league. Its a fun challenge to get up to the thirty two team league, which has the Backbreaker Bowl. -AntiMadden

this game is fun but has werid camera angles and some times you dont see the other player but the tackes and physcis and movement are like madden but x 10 it a football game.

If you like actual REAL football give this game a try. If your scared to buy it rent it . I had maybe one or two games where I actually had an easy time. Most the time the games play like a real life football game. Back and forth with not much scoring. Sometimes back and forth high scoring. It kept it from getting boring . Most people say this game "sucks" because its actually more challenging then madden.

10x better than madden they actually listen to the customers with physics

The game is fun! But the Controls are really hard to master so i have trouble playing it . But overall it is a fun game with good graphics and ok sound. I might recomend this to a friend but i don't know.
