This is one of the worst games I have ever played. It is so stupid. It is based on legends that played football. It is nothing like madden. My advice is do not buy this game save yourself some money.

better than madden

Great game. Much better than madden. Much more realistic. Kicking is bad though. If they could change the kicking, it would be a perfect game.

I thought it was awesome!!

I do not see why there are people knocking this game. Why people are saying the graphics are not good. I think they are AMAZING. I have an HD TV and I am viewing them on there and I love the graphics. I have been one who has played the EA versions of football, both NCAA and Madden. I love EA football, BUT, after playing this, I must commend 2k for making a relistic football game. I have not played Madden 08 yet, but from what I have played, since 2000 with Madden, was really no change in graphics or gameplay. Players walking through each other, getting called for stupid penalties, players making unrelistic moves. I loved NCAA football this year, BUT I missed the classic teams, AND also, it is pretty cheezy to leave refs out of the game. If you want realistic gameplay, leaving out refs is not the way to go there.

I felt the realism in 2K was amazing. I did not get the chance to play 2k5, and I know so many felt that was the better football game. And it is probably why EA was granted the NFL license because the NFL could not handle anyone else being better than those they were contracted with. Do I care that there are different non NFL teams???? No. Actually, the NFL is starting to suck big time and I have turned my back so much in wanting to support it. I would love to have a game that has a whole new league. I think 2K should make a USFL game. THAT would be so awesome. There are some USFL fans out there, and it would be a big hit.

I think too many people out there are just spoiled by the greedy NFL and cant appreciate anything less than that. If you cant appreciate the gameplay and the graphics of this game, then you cant appreciate the quality of any game. If this game is so much like NFL 2K5, and people felt that was the best game ever, why cry over how this game is similar to it?? Wouldnt you WANT the game to be similar to what they had before?? If it were different, then THAT would be a disppointment right?? I commend them on keeping the features in the games that people obviously enjoyed. Granted, it would be cool if they made some changes, like adding a franchise mode, giving you more teams to choose from, more legend players, and giving you more options to create uniforms and stadiums.

Give 2k credit. People complaining left and right, is not going to make these people come out with another game and improve anything. It will just make them give you whiners the big finger, and you will all lose out and end up with the same repetitve EA games that have not changed since they were created. I say, be thankful with this game, and appreciate it for what it is. A fantastically fun game, that does not consist of the NFL greed that has plagued sports so greatly today.

I say Kudos to 2K sports for coming out with a NON NFL game. Gives those who are tired of the NFL greed something to enjoy for once without seeing the ruined league gain more money to fix more games for classless cheating teams and players. I enjoyed this game. It was mega fun, and very much worth the money. I would rather put money in the pockets of retired NFL veterans, than the current overpaid cry babies who have no clue what the game is about, and what it means.

There's a reason this game is $9.00

I was looking forward to this game, but after a week of playing APF 2K8, I sold it and I'm having more fun playing ESPN NFL 2K5 on my XBOX 360. I think the concept of APF was great but the execution was sub-par, especially for game designers that turn out some of the best titles in the industry. The controller response was sluggish, the graphics were NOT next-gen, and my overall impression was that it was rushed. If the developers want to compete with EA once their NFL contract runs out, then they would have been better off taking much more time to release the best possible game. APF started at $60.00 and now you can pick it up for less than $10.00 - nuff said.

Here is what separates this game from Madden, and at least for me made it more enjoyable:

1) Gameplay/physics are much more realistic - You can't just drop back 20 yards and launch an 80 yard bomb. You need to settle your QB in the pocket, and set your feet. Guys running will run at various speeds, and you can't instantaneously stop from a full sprint. Just like in real life, the player will chop step three or four times to bring his body under control. The animation of the players is very well done. Little nuances like this make this game stand heads and shoulders above Madden.

2) All Pro Draft - This system of tiered stars makes the game more interesting because you really have to plan your team makeup. You really have to consider your strengths and weaknesses, and that of your opponents (especially online) when crafting a team. The added abilities that each player has and how they are implemented also brings a lot of variety to the game.

3) Online play - This is wear all Pro Football 2k8 shines. Online play is very challenging, and the online community is huge. The lack of an NFL license is negated because there are so many online leagues to choose from. You still get the experience of playing a 16 game season against other teams, and you always get everyones best. There are no excuses liek "He's playing with the Patriots, there team is always going to be better". Everyone makes their own team to suits there tastes. You also have a player rating system that will take care of singling people out who cheat or do cheesy things online. It works out very well.

4) Menus - No fluff, which I like. Easy to navigate, no load time and they are all easily accessible.

5) Playbook - very well done, with more plays that you ever will need.

6) Tackling system - it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, the tackling system using the right stick is a great tool. I must say I like it a lot. It gives you more options in different situations for coralling a pesky runningback or receiver.

7)Cost - At $29.99 (it's probably even lower now), you can't beat this for value.

If you are looking for a challenging football game, and playing against your friends or online is what you enjoy, then definitely check this game out.

If you were a fan of the old NFL 2K series that Sega/VC put out, then you'll love the gameplay in this game. Not a whole lot has changed from the old iterations, but there are some great animations. The kicking game leaves a little to be desired.

I waited for the price to come down on this game before I bought it. The primary reason is the lack of a franchise or GM mode. The game is fun, but, if they make a version next year, I hope they add full fictional character options and a a much-needed franchise mode.

Football Maniac-Better than Madden

First of all let me state that I am a football maniac. I have watched pro football passionately since the early 70s.

When I got this game I was expecting it to be very interesting.

What I got was a game that absolutely Rocks !!!!

This game allows you to pit the best players of all time. But wait there is so much more.

Consider these juicy tidbits
-Walter Paytons scissor kick move
-Barry Sanders patented spin moves
-Roger Craigs High stepping running

So much customization to make the game totally immersive. Especially if you have been a fan for years.

The one thing this game has over Madden is that it is ageless. It will never be outdated since it is historical in nature.

The graphics are wonderful and so is the action.

Imagine watching Jerry Rice (arguably the best in his prime) being covered by Michael Haynes (arguably the best in his prime).

If you are a Cowboy or niner fan this is a must have. They are both represented very well.

I actually drafted a team with Randy White, Too Tall Jones and Harvey Martin and man did they bring the heat on the QB.

The are only 2 things that are very slight negatives. One, everyone is chewing gum. Two, the taunting is a little bit on the corny side.

The gameplay is simply fantastic. This game requires you to approach it with real-life football tactics. You can set 3 plays as audibles for each formation, unlike EA's next gen offerings. The lacking of franchise mode in single player is a bummer.

Thank your Lucky Stars 2K is back

Madden has been hit or miss for me over the years, and this years version was supposed to be so much better than the past 2 360 versions. And being a huge Jets fan was dying to play with the current roster. But unfortunately, while the franchise mode is Excellent, the online sorely lacking and most important, the Actual Gameplay is Not very good. Won't get into more details regarding that since this is a review for 2k8. As far as 2k8 is concerned, while the season mode is lacking, the online mode is light years ahead of madden with its smooth play and online leagues and tournaments. And the actual gameplay itself is Realistic !!!!!
If you like kiddie gameplay, go pick up Madden. If you want serious Sim gameplay and killer online play, even if it is with Legends (although you Can create any player you want and use them), pick up 2k8. And don't listen to the madden fanboys, of which there are Many !!
