I believe Backbreaker's claim to fame was it was the 1st football game to not have scripted tackle animations and player interaction. The physics engine handled it. It was more of a demo showing off the technology in fun ways. Shortly after this Madden added the same tech in their "Infinite Engine" where players would get near each other and suddenly ragdoll. But it's a prime example of why competition is good and EA shouldn't have exclusive rights.
... This game competed without the NFL license, you don't need the NFL license to make, distribute or sell a football game. Exclusive rights is dumb, yes, but it's 100% on 2k and other developers NOT making football games just because they don't have the nfl license. Make something.
Also with how 2k has been the past few years with their sports games, uh... Yeah I doubt they'd bring any magic or noteworthy aspects into the football realm
@@TeemoQuinton the fact is NFL football games are way more marketable and easier to make because you have the logos, stadiums, and names already it way harder to create brand new unique stadiums (I'm not saying NFL games are easy to make im saying they require less creativity) 2k did do it in 2008 but not many people bought it
@@SM-ys8lw And over a decade later people overrate the living fuck out of the 2k game made in 2008 [i'm saying that mostly about "Ball physics" and throwing, holy fuck people harp on about that when it's literally the same thing in Madden. At the time was it better? Yes. Now? No]
While yes you've got part of the 'why' on it spot on I'mma just say... 2k is far from the company they were in 2008, much like EA. they have both forgotten about the offline/singleplayer/not Ultimate Team/MyTeam aspects. They'd both just milk the fuck out of it like they have been doing
@@TeemoQuinton that 2008 2k game was pretty trash honestly. I hate Madden by that time and needed something fresh. That 2k game was not it.
Now 2k5, that game was highly overrated . It was good but that year I thought Madden 2005 was better. That was the introduction of the hit stick.
@Eric Belinc Yes
Could you imagine 22 Drew Morris' all saying "Welcome back to the UGF Pandas!" Nightmare fuel.
Oh god
Now I know why the AAF went under. They picked backbreaker team names lol
I enjoyed the AAF. But i was wondering how they ended up with the names lol
More XFL like, but same difference really

@Miles Doyle i think your message is nice but i don't think anyone would ever read all this
If there was a Backbreaker 2 with full 11 on 11 football, it could’ve been amazing. Just fix the flaws and expand on the physics system
That's the only thing the 2nd game was lacking tbh
I've always said that!
Basically NFL tour
And the camera, give more options
Nate Thompson the one thing they had down was the gang tackles and dog piles
This game had so much potential. It even got 10x better after the first major update but by then every reviewer decided it wasn't made by EA so it got a 4/10

My mans got the Trent Richardson vision 5:17 honestly if you cant run the ball in this game then you cant make fun of Richardson
Yes you can. Trent got terrible carrier vision
remember when I only had the demo for this game and would truck and hurdle people for hours
Gastly good times
Haha same dude. The game was awesome.
i still do this everyday, im playing the demo rn
Guess what i bought the game on ebay today yeah litterally today
@@thekidt.i4240 I just bought it myself about a week ago off Ebay. Scored it for $6 and $2.50 shipping so a hair under $10 after tax. I remember playing it on my old 360 back in the day, but somehow it's not on the hard drive anymore and I never could figure out how to re-download it. Looking forward to playing this again. It was far from perfect but it did some things very well. It's definitely fun to play even with its flaws, more than I can say for Madden
Small history lesson:
This game was released as a glorified tech demo for the new Euphoria/Morpheme engines that focused on realistic physics in the last console generation.
It's physics engine would go on to be used most notably in GTA4 (and GTAV) after Rockstar was given an early build of this game as proof of concept. Rockstar may have even bought the company after or during the development of GTA4.
This game was made after GTA IV... they had the engine for free a long time before this game, rockstar liked the engine and bought them out after this released.
Like GTA IV was 2 years before this game lol, they never showed rockstar it, all they did was show rockstar the old engine
@@klayman2
This game was in devopment since 2005, along with the engine. It was the PoC for the engine.
How do I know? I was a beta tester for it in 2006.
RoyalGaming y’all don’t read he said nothing about the release date
@@budmb2 I'm commenting for later
as someone who's played this game for years now, Ive learned to love it with building 32 different teams and basically building a franchise. this game has several flaws and is extremely difficult, but it I very fun
James Sullivan the camera angle is by far the most frustrating thing in this game. I thought it was gonna be a fun change up from madden when I got it, I was so wrong 😂
I completed so many season in this game the camera angle is more realistic it has blindspots I wish it was on Xbox one
@@davontaeallen4855They could back-compat except for madden. I played it for a while as a non- madden game. Plus I love to customize games.
@@vance9090i used to feel that way but its grown on me cause I’ve realized the camera angle is meant to put you in the action , create more suspense to go along with the physics
He literally said “oh he dropped it again who is that man” 🤦♂️
Banana_duck that was the joke smh
...
Drew Morris
Drew Morris had a great game, same with Drew Morris. Solid night for Drew Morris, Drew Morris, Drew Morris, Drew Morris, and Drew Morris. What a terrible game for Drew Morris. Him and Drew Morris just could not get anything going.
Uhh ha haa 👀
TGudda I don’t get what’s funny. I’m just stating the obvious.
No clue whats going on here never heard of this game either
@Erik Lerström yea I really think Morris was getting double coverage which left Morris open for Morris to throw to Morris.
Ok but what about Drew Morris?
DM for DeMonitized.
Wait this isn’t the pandas????
÷
Rbt... is that a person?
(This is a joke to one of rbt old intro)
Hi
OMG I wach your Channel alot
Oh yeah mr. Rbt eat corn
Kinda sad that the movement and physics look better than madden at times
All the time.
Fr Madden needs to take notes from this game
The physics are definitely better, the players will actually automatically reach for the endzone as well. It’s the euphoria physics engine which is also used by red dead redemption 2.
@@jebowar6679 and gta 4 in 2007. Yet gta 5 and modern madden still have trash physics
Is it bad that I really want to see a pandas themed backbreaker mini series? This is so unique compared to football games today.
This game looks horrible
Does "unique" mean "unbelievably shitty" in the parlance of our time?
12 Astro Its actually pretty fun when you get used to it. I loved playing it like 10 years ago lol
Looks better than madden tho
@@thelastmanonearth2631 Backbreaker is awesome
Your Clones are very impressive, you must be proud.
You see this as well? It's legit the same thing
You are a bold one.
Theyll do there job well, ill guarentee that
😂😂
Backbreaker is a hidden gem. It needs to be backwards compatible
I wish
I miss this game, I had so much fun in the 360 days.
it would be incredible with series x graphics if its 60 fps microsoft is streaky with their graphics
It's easier after going to the "training camp" part that shows u the controls. I actually enjoy that game. And I feel the camera angle is the best to depict what a real player sees on the field
Yeet
Not The Expert they’re a nice breather from UGF
I absolutely love it!
Not The Expert can you upload more the show 19
You should play the head coach games
More NFL Street, pls
Don't ever disrespect backbreaker *tear going down my face*
Drew Morris blew the game, but drew Morris played his heart out,
You had one job drew Morris
Backbreaker was underrated even though it had problems it was still a little fun to play once and a while.
Ive played this game a lot. It's so fun to create a custom league and teams and do tournaments or short seasons
It's like a law firm in here.
Morris, Morris, Morris, Morris, and Morris
12:30 his number is 21 and his last name is savage. Is he a rapper?
Ethan TheSavage No he’s British ;)
tersecleric2 I was gonna say that but it sounded better as rapper
That must've took A LOT to come up with
That's where 21 Savage got his name
I honestly feel like this game franchise would of actually took off and be a hell of alot more successful if they would of had a madden style type of camera option🤯😕
Yeah I respect what they were trying to do but it makes it hard to play
It's bs that EA is the only company that can make an NFL football game.
@@sevensrefrain an "officially licensed" NFL game.
@@theringmaster3684 ea sports is the worst
BARRYBONDS SF Giants ea renewed it when it was up 2 yrs ago I think for another 10 years
Dont buy that trash
Not until october
5:35 As a Packer's fan, this brings back bad memories.
Once you understand the game mechanics, this game is really fun. Theres even a season ladder like mode which is awesome and the logo creator is supremely in depth
Yep, the logo creator is probably the best out of any football game
Logo creator the best in any sports game.
When he plays this type of game thats when you know that we watch his videos because of his personality and not because of the game he plays.
Louif Carreau well this game actually cold sooo...
The game is fun tho
I don’t , I stopped watching cuz all he plays is 2014 ncaa
Ok...?
Recurt player one for the pandas for next season😂
The microphone under the helmet indicates he is either a quarterback or one of the defensive captains. Players in the NFL have microphones in their helmets so they can talk to the offensive and defensive coordinators.
Woah, that's pretty dope.
This game was one of my favorites. Once you learn all the mechanics it’s a pretty bad game, but you can get good at it. Crazy animations, I would spend more time in replays than in game to watch the insanity
I honestly love the camera angle. It has almost a first-person feel.

I remember playing Backbreaker Tackle Alley on my iPod touch when I was 11
Same
This was such a great game.
Real football is hard.
Completing a pass in this game made my friends and I freak out!
Oh my God, I remember playing this. The customization was INCREDIBLE. Bless up for the hella throwback
Don't take God's name in vain
@@YashayahTheAlmighty your book tells you what to do, not me.
3:32 the AAF doesn’t exist anymore, so you don’t have to worry.
Its actually still around. Owned by the rock
Kevin Piacente thats the XFL
Inspired by Call me Kevin and RTgame
RTgame? Nah. Souljagame.
Needs more Country Roads
I was getting a Kevin vibe when I saw the titles.
Jeremy Borman same I love Kevin great supporting Irish RUclipsrs
@Tristan Wright lol
bro you're humor is one of a kind lmao
Play with the BB all Stars. I'm actually in the game on that team. defensive end #78. I did a couple of tracks for this when it was in development. They ended up licensing the movement and collision tech to Rockstar games for Gta 4 & 5
Damn this game actually still looks good, i always thought it was fun with the kinda goofy physics. Wish they would make a 2
They did
This is one of my favorite sports games ever. Seeing my favorite youtuber making videos on it is even better
Who's watching this after the AAF went down? Hey Drew, no need to worry bout that lawsuit 😭😂
I used to love this game. I felt exactly how you felt I couldn't tell if it was the best or worst football game ever lol. Tackle Alley is actually pretty fun in later levels.
The reason they don’t have a specific button for all the receivers is because it makes more realistic. You have to scan the field like an actual QB. I actually really liked this game and sure you suck at first but once you get the hang of it it’s actually really fun and refreshing change of pace from madden. I wish they would’ve made more of these games.
Thats not realistic at all... it takes fractions of a second to scan the field, tunnel vision on individual recievers is dumb as hell. The old nfl blitz on n64 had a better system for passing than this... you dont need controller input for what your eyes are doing.
Dude the editing is absolutely amazing
I subbed, this was just hilarious. The subtle zooms of the camera, the random spins, I love how you know exactly when to stop too lol.
I didn’t know 21 savage played for Birmingham 12:25
“Just don’t throw a pick drewski that’s all ya gotta do”
*moments later*
“Oh that’s intercepted!”
"He dropped it again. Who is this guy?" well drew morris dont you know that drew morris passed it to drew morris
7:47 - I believe his name is Drew Morris?
"Morris, you're liability at left tackle." 😂😂😂😂😂
I reckon it'd be a great camera angle for a Madden equivalent of Be a Pro
This is up there as one of my top football games to play. In an era where football games with personality and creative freedom were coming to an end. This gem popped up and rocked my world. Game mechanics that were reminiscent of Skate, making successfully spinning around a defender or throwing an accurate pass feel almost more personal and rewarding. And although you couldn’t have as personalized of a custom player, it was largely made up for by being able to design a team from literal scratch: need a logo? Here’s a blank canvas, all the shapes you need, some stickers and general images and a creative mind. Not to mention the absolute brutality of the tackles from the rag doll physics. Just a great game really, if you give it the time, even if the creative elements don’t matter to you, it’s just a great and unique approach on a football game that I hope we’re able to see again someday.
5:40 best play action ever. That must of fooled atleast half the defence
The whole morris Shtick made me laugh more than it should have lol
Can’t be sued by the AAF LMAO! 😂
Backbreaker was one of my favorite football games.
Nba Street vol 2 would be amazing. The campaign mode would be tons of fun to watch
Now all we need is a game of APF and the Drew will have played all the holy games of football.
I'll be honest, I'm still waiting for a Blitz series
It's like you're trying to play Football with Rocket League Ball Cams
The tackle animation is actually better than maddens is right now
Man these are turning into call me Kevin title names
Tbh
Close, if it was a call me Kevin title I'd be "backbreaker but it's a very confusing game".
No, this is RTGame
@Frizzy Drizzy call me a kevin is funnier
Backbreaker is such an underrated and unappreciated game
Loss? Haven't seen one of those since the pandas season of '78...
Backbreaker was a dope game lots of fun playing this! The hit sticks are insane
I subbed for the NFL Street videos, please keep playing the progression mode!! :)
He said "I'm scared!" As if he was Ralph Wiggum in danger
UGF should play against Iowa State in the next season!
the camera angle is to simulate the vision that player would have. they is why the QB has a blind side and you have to look at who you are passing to. why it's zoomed in on your back so cuz you cant see behind you. yes it takes time to get use too but this game was really good once you get it down. people still play it today
Play this game more like if aggree
I really like the tackle physics in this game
You should play a game in every madden ever for a video (except maybe the last three or 4)👍🏻!!!
Keep up the good work
Why does this running animation look leagues better than Madden 19? Anyone else?
this game was doing things 10 years ago that ea just started doing in maden 17
you can say whatever you want about the AAF now without getting sued cuz they're going under
Dude Your Delivery Has So Many LMFAO Moments!
Hey, if ur spirit is broken, that’s not that bad. My life’s broken
Bro this commentary is gold!!😂😂😂😂
Enjoy the diversity! Try NFL 2K4 or 2k5. With helmet view and the crib that’s able to be customized its a great game. Love NCAA SERIES
"Why is he throwing it in a situation like that? " LOL Goes for it on 4th & 26
This game was fun lol... i remember when it was just a mobile game
This is actually my favorite football game for PS3. My team is crazy good, with stats in the 90s.
Team name: Los Angeles Firesharks.
My best game:
Vs Boston Smugglers
Score: 317 - 3.
Yardage:
1,091 passing yards, 850 rushing yards.
Defensive:
21 sacks, 5 interceptions, 1 safety. Three of those interceptions became TDs.
Top receiver, TE, having 20 receptions for 815 yards and 11 TD. Longest, 74 yards.
Top rusher, WR had all 850 rushing yards, with 27 TD. Longest, 51 yards.
Top defense, DE, 28 tackles, 11 sacks.
No field goals. Scored on every drive.
If you know how to line up your defensive line, you can control your man to completely take out the opposition.
Maybe it’s just me but I was actually a fan of the low level camera angle, puts it in more of a qbs perspective
Yea the more you play you start getting use to it
I think its time to run this back Drew REDEMPTION!!!!
Who else realized when he said “I gonna get de-monetized, it showed the DM😂
I was the #1 ranked player on this game at one point, which wasn't saying much given that maybe 100 people played it, but I remember the hype in the sim community for this game. It was more of a tech demo and it did have problems even with simulating football, but it did capture the spirit of football, running for your life, being afraid of getting smashed to bits as the QB as you didn't have 20 seconds to throw a pass like you often do in Madden.
I think this game and its physics inspired madden in some ways as Madden has gotten better with combining animations with physics. This game was pretty much all physics and while it was nice to not have animations control everything, ragdoll physics presented its own problems.
Try All-Pro Football 2K8
It is pretty fun.
Absolutely it is
Imagine paying 60 dollars for this game 😂😂
yeah, what a steal!
I can honestly say I'll never play this game. It looks infuriating.
But it also looks a million times better than madden at the same time
This is very very true. I don't play Madden anymore. Haven't in years.
Its really good once you get use to it
Honestly, if it were better executed, I'd have said that style of football game is a lot more fun than Madden or other common competitors. I've always loved the idea of feeling like you actually are the guy on the field.
Instead of Backbreaker, they should call it Concussion. That would piss the NFL off.
I think I'm one of the very few people who enjoyed these games. The camera angle kept you blind as it should. Being a QB and having to focus downfield was refreshing. And running the ball with a narrow FOV kept you honest during cut-backs.
Games don't have "shoulds." The paying customer can demand a game totally unrealistic and easy if they want. At least have options. That's why this game flopped like a concrete pancake. You don't dictate to the customer how a game should be played. Besides, anybody that wants perfect specificity and accuracy should go outside and play real football.
Only real ones played this game when it first dropped
Drewski finally assembled his clone army.
So what you're saying is it's about as fun to play as Madden.
mgunter madden is absolute buns
Madden was fun until the frostbite engine. Now I only get it to simulate a GM.
Its so much better than 19
Honestly if we had a madden game with these physics it would be sooooo dope
You can tell he watches rick and Morty
It’s only confusing because it’s a realistic football game. They perfected the QB vision
Hey NTE, could you do more MLB The Show? I need more freak show baseball
