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

He literally said “oh he dropped it again who is that man” 🤦♂️

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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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*
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
Drew Morris blew the game, but drew Morris played his heart out,
You had one job drew Morris
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
Kris Rose no
Dont buy that trash
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
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.
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 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
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.
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
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...?
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
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 CZcamsrs
@Tristan Wright lol
Recurt player one for the pandas for next season😂

5:35 As a Packer's fan, this brings back bad memories.
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.
This was such a great game.
Real football is hard.
Completing a pass in this game made my friends and I freak out!
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
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
This is one of my favorite sports games ever. Seeing my favorite youtuber making videos on it is even better
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.
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 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.
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.
I didn’t know 21 savage played for Birmingham 12:25
7:47 - I believe his name is Drew Morris?
Who's watching this after the AAF went down? Hey Drew, no need to worry bout that lawsuit 😭😂
5:40 best play action ever. That must of fooled atleast half the defence
Backbreaker was one of my favorite football games.
I reckon it'd be a great camera angle for a Madden equivalent of Be a Pro
“Just don’t throw a pick drewski that’s all ya gotta do”
*moments later*
“Oh that’s intercepted!”
Nba Street vol 2 would be amazing. The campaign mode would be tons of fun to watch
The quality of your videos just gets better and better man. Keep it up. Loving the variety.
I was never into the watching people play games but this dude is hilarious. I was laughing so much last night when I came across this channel. The abomination picture for the MLB the Show had me literally lol to the point my girl was looking at me asking “ what’s so funny?”
I subbed for the NFL Street videos, please keep playing the progression mode!! :)
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
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
bro you're humor is one of a kind lmao
It's like you're trying to play Football with Rocket League Ball Cams
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
"He dropped it again. Who is this guy?" well drew morris dont you know that drew morris passed it to drew morris
Backbreaker is such an underrated and unappreciated game
UGF should play against Iowa State in the next season!
You should play a game in every madden ever for a video (except maybe the last three or 4)👍🏻!!!
Keep up the good work
Backbreaker was a dope game lots of fun playing this! The hit sticks are insane
The music when you run and kick off is the music from the Dallas Carter game in Friday Night Lights
Loss? Haven't seen one of those since the pandas season of '78...
Play this game more like if aggree
I really like the tackle physics in this game
"Morris, you're liability at left tackle." 😂😂😂😂😂
Hey, if ur spirit is broken, that’s not that bad. My life’s broken
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
The tackle animation is actually better than maddens is right now
The whole morris Shtick made me laugh more than it should have lol
you can say whatever you want about the AAF now without getting sued cuz they're going under
This game was fun lol... i remember when it was just a mobile game
I used to own this, I would spend 3 hours customizing my team and 5 minutes playing the actual terrible game.
Gameplay was great to me
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
Try All-Pro Football 2K8
It is pretty fun.
Absolutely it is
He said "I'm scared!" As if he was Ralph Wiggum in danger
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😂
UGF NCAA basketball would be great
He already has it on his second channel
Ik but not a UGF basketball
Honestly if we had a madden game with these physics it would be sooooo dope
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD GAME, it’s really hard to see you play just terribly, it’s a shame you won’t be playing it ever again
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
Instead of Backbreaker, they should call it Concussion. That would piss the NFL off.
Holy hell, coming out to that song I can’t think of the name or band but the “bad” team comes out to it in the state champ in Friday night lights... then POD at the kickoff? Man, high school me bought this game right away
First vid on this channel that I watched. Gotta say, I love your style so far lol
If your reading this I hope you have a great year and nothing but positive vibes your way
bless up🙏🏽
Only real ones played this game when it first dropped
I used to play this game a lot. The camera was annoying but you start to get used to it and you wouldn’t trade it. I believe if they made a second they’d perfect it.
I’ve been waiting to see you play this game for ages lmao
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
Hey NTE, could you do more MLB The Show? I need more freak show baseball
To give some context, Backbreaker was mostly made as a technical demo for the animation/ragdoll system created by NaturalMotion called Euphoria. It has also been used by Rockstar games, starting with GTA 4.
NaturalMotion later made Backbreaker Vengeance which dropped the football game part to only keep the Tackle Alley mode, which was expanded upon greatly.
This was my first football game for the PS3. This game brings back so much memorys of me and my sis playing together.
