If that sounds too weird...add zombies.

Zombies would be a great addition though.

Adding zombies is always a surefire way to spruce up a game. :)

Really? Never palyed it.
There were some source mods that had FPsoccer games...didn't really like them..but they were neat.
Just would like to see a sports game with the same teamplay as a good FPS.
One can dream!

Too bad from what I hear they pretty much screwed up blood bowl and it sucks.

It's been done. It was one of the ESPN Football games.
Ah, here it is. Strangely Wikipedia doesn't have an article pertaining it. If I cared about stuff I would create it - but alas...

I also found a video! What luck!

Doesn't mean it won't be a great game, but you are right that not having the license will hurt the sales.

All in all, I think if you were able to make a good solid football game foremost, the NFL license is periphery.

This is exactly what we need----if you see it in motion, it's AMAZING.
Maybe it will be what EA needs to make a better Madden game. But if you like football, keep an eye on Backbreaker FOR SURE (and look up some video online).

surrealism is often more fun than realism.

Imagine, you play from the third person perspective on Sundays, but the rest of the week takes you out to the clubs, to your urine test, to the barely concealed homoerotic interplay in the dialogue, rolling with your entourage, dealing with neglected spouses ect. Imagine all of the hilarious fun you could be up to. Imagine the dialogue tree options: "They ARE who we THOUGHT THEY WERE"
That would be sweet....

Seriously though, thanks for that link, i like his humor and i can relate to his loathing of the human race.

The problem I have with Madden (downloaded the demo and tried, oh I tried hard, to like it) is that it's too much like real football.
Now I know that's the whole point and I imagine Madden does a fine job of making a video game very much like the real thing. I don't know much about the sport, but from what little I've seen on TV (SuperBowl's mostly) and the less than an hour I've spent with Madden it seems they have things about the same. You sit around, a lot, you pick a play, and there's less than thirty seconds of anything happening.
That doesn't make for a very enjoyable game, for me anyways. I'd like to pick up FIFA 10 since I hear this isn't the case. You get out there and you go at it.
If Backbreaker can some how manage to do that, get rid of the whole 'plays' idea and just make a fun game, maybe I'll check it out.

Bunch of burley street thugs playing kick-ass football on concrete. Walljumps, clotheslines, boosts, gamebreakers and somersaults.
It's emphasis is on violence and the overall sense of "oh no he didn't"
And just to burst the bubble, no sports game is ever, and i mean ever, going to top NBA Jam on Snes.

It sucks now, huh? Terms like ghost-town and crime-on-the-rise give me those my-apocalyps-pony chills...

NBA Jam Tournament Edition.
THAT'S RIGHT I WENT THERE.

There was a hockey game I really liked on the N64, but I don't remember the name of it, just that I would senselessly knock the hell out of everyone and not try to get goals at all. NFL Blitz was alright for that too, but I didn't really catch on to that one as much.

Nothing says " Trust me, I'm a psychic" quite like an albino 'fro. I can't look at the dude without cracking up.
