Description
Setting a new standard in football video games, Backbreaker rushes the genre
with a new playbook for hard-hitting action. Players take control of an
unmatched on-field experience boasting realistic, physics-based AI for an
endless variety of unique sacks and tackles, making canned animations a
last-season memory. With crisp high‐definition graphics and a third-person
camera angle that follows the perspective of the ball handler, Backbreaker puts
players in the heart of the game. Rookies can easily pick-up-and-play thanks to
Backbreaker’s intuitive Arcade Mode control scheme, while veteran players can
enjoy the game’s more difficult Pro Mode that turns off AI assists.
Featuring 11 versus 11 matches, Backbreaker also boasts online multiplayer for
up to four players and split-screen multiplayer modes. With total team
customization, players can create their own rosters and adjust their team’s
colors, logos and more. Going on the offense from kickoff to end zone,
Backbreaker is how football was meant to be played on next-gen consoles.
