Taken from the outdated Backbreaker thread, RBM11 made. The original thread hasn't had a post in over two years, hope he doesn't mind me making a new thread. Give credit to RBM11 for the quoted information.
"Backbreaker breaks the mold of traditional football video games with realistic, physics-based motion AI, crisp high-definition graphics and a camera angle that follows the perspective of the player. At its core, Backbreaker is full-on 11-versus-11 competitive play, and also includes online multiplayer and split-screen multiplayer modes. In addition, the game features total team customization including a fully featured logo editor. The game welcomes newcomers to the genre with its intuitive pick-up-and-play Arcade Mode control scheme, while seasoned players can go head-to-head in the game's demanding Pro Mode that turns off AI and visual assists."
[QUOTE=RBM11;11517431]Backbreaker is a game developed by NaturalMotion, the creators of Endorphin and Euphoria. It is supposed to have ultra realistic tackles because of Euphoria. Unfortunately, it can't get the NFL license because of EA :sigh: but that shouldn't matter. Should be out by 2010 and not much other info is known. It will also have a 3rd person view similar to the Madden superstar mode but closer up. It will be for 360 and PS3.
It features an animation engine called morpheme which seamlessly blends animation and euphoria to make everything fluid. It also features realistic crowds with 90,000 plus 3D people. It supports effects such as motion blur, self shadows, and advanced lighting effects plus the already mention awesome tackles. The audio will be good as well.

Wait the original OP said PC and this one doesn't? What's the final verdict? This is a football game I could actually see myself playing.
Backbreaker will not be on the PC, only Xbox 360 and Ps3.
There are rumors that they might port it to the PC later after the release but as I said, it is a rumor.
This is the only football game that I would consider buying. Just because I love euphoria.
Yeah, this looks really good for a sports game.
Ho shit, it has euphoria, now a must buy.
Heh heh. Football with the GTA IV ragdoll system. Nice.
This game makes me want to join a football team again.
I have this on my Ipod Touch.
Sorry for the shitty OP, guys.
This game is taking ages to be released
The release date is locked in at May 25.
Another 2 months won't be that bad.
