I feel the controls are fine, its just the camera and the speed of the game that can leave you getting overwhelmed and disoriented. I am used to
madden, where I can see anticipate the defense well in advance. In backbreaker you dont have a lot of time to react. I think the controls are inuitive on paper, with the moves being divided into agile and agressive and and logically mapped to the right stick. The passing too, is quite logical. Its just that pulling this stuff off in the game is just so hard because of being under pressure and blind as a QB or being not being able to see a clear path as a back.
This aspect can be very frustrating, but eventually you start clicking. It took me over a week. I actually like this about the game though, I like the challenge. I like the how its unpredictable and the sense of fear or panic you get in open space trying to anticipate where the next defender is coming from (you can see this in my latest vid, with my panic sidestep lol) For me the good far out weighs the bad, when I make a big play or have 70 yard scoring drive I feel a huge sense of achievement. The kind of feeling that is missing from most sports game these days.
This game is not for everyone and I understand why it has turned alot of people off. There are alternate controls fpr passing, dont know if you tried that or if it would help at all.
