I know this only concerns a select few of you, so if you weren't involved in the first conversation then leave this page.

I played the demo of that Backbreaker game that a few of you recommended. It was GOD AWFUL.

Offense:

The offense on this game was the bright spot, but still terrible. The controls were so confusing and the camera angle makes it seem like My Player mode on Madden. There was cool tackles, but that is about it. The controls overall were sketchy which was really frustrating.

Defense:

The defense was herendous. You can only be one player at a time (normal), but once again it is like My Player mode and your player is pretty much the only guy on the D that you can see. You can be rushing in on the D Line and all of a sudden the ball will be downfield. And, the second you change your guy you are in a completely different view w. another player. The controls are better than on offense, but still not good.

ST:

This might have been the best part of the game. FG's/XP's were cool and easy to kick. Returning punts/kicks was a b**ch.

The stadium is a giant arena about 20 story's high and the players look like cartoons. Oh yeah, and the teams are completely retarded bc they are made up. On team is even called the talons..WTF???

On a scale of one to ten this game would be about a 3.5

I predicted this. People bash Madden but I knew this game would be a flop. You can't expect amateur developers (aka, ones you have never heard of) to produce a great game. Great games are not the norm, they are the exception. Plus, their whole point was dynamic tackles in order to beat Madden. How about gameplay first?

I should've posted "this is gonna be a flop" in one of those Madden threads...

This is true.

I really doubt this though. They have forgot what makes a Football game exciting. I really really wish THQ could get there shot at it. They are beating EA in the dirt with there new UFC game.

Doubtful I have not played it yet but its getting great reviews. EA always has the hype but never lives up to it. They just own all the licensing rights so no one else has a chance.

First off, why would Madden "go all out" if that may be the last year of that game. Why waste so much money in development if all the "new" stuff they come up with won't continue. I also want to point out that if you really want a better Madden and they do continue with the series, you should go out and buy the backbreaker game as soon as it comes out. Why, you ask? Because Madden is a monopoly in the NFL football gaming industry and competition is the only way they will improve anything unless everyone stops buying the game.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
