Review: All-Pro Football 2K8

Ripten.com reviews 2K Sports highly anticipated All-Pro Football 2K8. Is it worth a shot or are you better off waiting for Madden?

Didn't expect that.

what did u except? ^^^^^^^^

[Maddens Raiders]

-I didn't realize that the players are cut from three basic models - that kinda blows as far as real customization goes. -- BAD

-- "If you long for authentic football simulation and consider yourself a gamer then All-Pro Football 2K8 should definitely be in your collection. It gives its all on the field, and leaves nothing out." -- GOOD

2K Sports found there loophole and the king is back. I would like to welcome Madden to it's new top selling platform.

[Maddens Raiders]

you better not let know Peter M. know that. He'll be pissed!lol

Nah, I hope Madden can build from what 2K has shown them at that faux studio EA Sports. For too long they've hunted in the bush unfettered and now there's another predator in the undergrowth. Maybe they'll survive...maybe not. One thing's for sure though....Once my rosters are all downloaded for NCAA 2008; my time on N4G will be precious oh so precious.

and here I thought EA's reach never ends.... APF str8 murders madden in every football category.

I saw this running in my local Gamestop today and I must admit that its better looking than madden. In fact way better than madden. The only thing that made me change my mind about buying this game is the rosters. I'm a big NFL fan so updated rosters appeal more to me than legends. I just hope that EA will take notice of 2k and improve their game before their hold of the NFL license expires.

8.5?
A must rental. (before buying)

Sounds good though!

[Double-Edged]

I enjoy... THE BIGS...
great baseball game... so fun!!

woo hoo!!

Man this review makes it real tempting.... I really don't like EA, the Madden games suxors the big one....

But I really wish there were current players.... Doesn't the contract expire for EA this year? I really hope so because I like 2K sports, but I'm on the fence about buying this games with former players....

nice to hear 2k made it easy to change the teams to the real ones.

i fell in love with 2k5...i gave it a shot because of the price tag and never looked back.

so needless to say i have been really excited about this game since it was announced.

this article did two things for me...got me more excited and also disappointed...how can you not have a franchise mode?

you guys that bought it...does this take away from the game not having a franchise mode...after you play a season...do you have to recreate a new team every time?

i wonder if it has to do with the legends in the game...i wonder if they would only sign up if their virtual self would not degrade over a course of several seasons.
