Backbreaker - I gave this game the three "P's"....Patience, Practice, and Prayer. None of that fixed it.
The gameplay is horrendous. Read the Game Informer review. It says it all perfectly. Rather than re-type it, go to MetaCritic and read it. By doing so, it may save you some time and money in the long run.
I am hugely dissapointed in the gameplay. From kick off to final gun....the gameplay does not have one second of fun in it....just frustration.
You can't run the ball. When passing, you really don't know where it's going to go. You have the ability to purchase free agents to upgrade your team, but you'll never make enough credits to buy more than one or two guys, much less replacing the entire offensive line and your linebackers. They have a good engine for building a game around, but they forgot, or didn't know how to do anything else.
