All-Pro Football 2K8 Release Date Revealed?

I've been playing Sports games since when Genesis made sports games great. Madden I just never liked. The play models were too small. The running game is poor.

When I got my dreamcast in 99, the 2K sport series put a fear in EA, and look at what they did. They got Scuuured, and bought out the NFL lisence for 5 years. What game ever put you right inside the helment? Something different atleast.

Tried to do the same with NHL and NBA but we all know which one of those game are better.

NFL 2K was about to take over. That's why I hated EA for buying out the competition. I know it goes on everywhere but that's how I seen it.

2K series will rule in NFL you'll see. This is a good step, that means they are not dead.

Yeah i had genesis too, Joe Montana football was the best. Also nothing beats madden 93..nothing. I can see your point about buying the competition, that was not a good thing, only made madden stagnate, althought they have brought a little something new each time. NFK 2K, always seemed too.. well too cartoony, too fake. It was so easy to run, I'd break off 20-30 yard runs so easily. The real NFL isnt like that. Having a 3 yard Avg is good, a 4 yd average is great. I mean in real life you're gonna get stuffed at the line sometimes, its part of the game. QB vsion, Hit Stick, Truck Stick, when you practice and get good, Madden becomes an amazing game. Its so fun when you can actually see a play developing as a safety, and just know they are gonna throw it there, and pick it off, such a nice feeling. Seriously, its all about the playcalling, like in real life. You call the wrong play against the wrong defence, well its gonna blow up, like in real life. Every single play has a counter, I don't care who you are. Yeah there are some players that use gimmic plays (only a handful of plays a game), and glitches, but if you know how to counter those, it all works out in the end. I do wish 2K would get back into the game though, take all the scrubs off madden online, haha j/k.

Outside of soccer and tennis game you named some the worst sport arcade franchises to ever see the light of day.

NFL blitz was fun back in 96 when it first came out, slugfest was forgetable at best, NBA hoopz, please. I'll give you MLB cause they have put a story into a sim game and made it great.

The real rundown to any real sport gamers go as followed.

Soccer: Winning Eleven Series ( but in america nobody cares)

Football: Madden or 2k pick your poison

Tennis: Top Spin

Hockey: NHL 2k7

Basketball: NBA 2K7

Baseball: MLB 07: the show

These are the games real sport gamers play.

that is a really good point. your right, i have never heard of some one saying they picked up a copy of madden and will never go back to 2k...it is always the other way around...never thought about it before...i am sure there is some one out there but i have never witnessed it before.
