Default do i need backer board?

i'm getting ready to install ceramic tile in my basement and just finished
the chapter in my home depot book about what's involved with this. it said i
should be using backer board to keep the tiles from flexing. as i say, this
is going in my basement, which has a concrete foundation. aside from making
sure the floor is totally level, do i really need to use backer board?

tks
