All-Pro Football 2K8 Retrospective

Ойындар

APF 2K8 was a fantastic football game that lacked an NFL license or franchise mode, leading to poor sales and no plans for a sequel. However, the on the field football gameplay of 2K8 has never been topped. You won't find another football video game that plays as good as All-Pro Football 2K8.

    I'll still never forget the first time I got an INT in 2K8. It was on the sideline and as my DB was running it back I noticed that all of my teammates on the sideline reacted realistically. They started celebrating right after the pick and started cheering me on as I was returning it. Jumping up and down, waving towels, etc. This game would be near perfection with a Franchise Mode.

    Yes, and in Madden, everyone on the field chases you no matter where they are on the field. I believe in either 2k5 or APF2k8, opponents would slow down and realize what a lost cause it would be to attempt to give chase. It was a really realistic and immersive experience.

    @@Richard-ks5fg I'm not in a position to judge...but I can see when someone is trying to garner an audience by appealing to internet trolls. Madden has flaws that should be pointed out, but sometimes it gets quite petty. Like complaining about the injury animation. In that video adrian Peterson injured his left hand, and moody criticized that he slammed his helmet...when he did it with his right hand. Those are just nitpicks and you can definitely nitpick 2k5 if you want. When you play on turf, the field looks like trash by the end of the game...when its turf. They miss uniforms that madden had...like the cowboys 1995 blue throwback (although they had the white version from 1994). They didnt have a create a team. And the postgame show was all over the place. There is a video where a guy plays Dallas vs New York to a 10-10 tie. At the end of the game, berman says Dallas wins 10-10 and in the recap he says New York wins 10-10. Also you cant choose the uniform of your opponent in franchise mode like you can in madden. And these issues werent new...they carried over from previous 2k installments.

    I would pay the price of a new console for a 2k copy of All Pro Football 2k20 with all 32 teams completely customizable and a franchise mode. The only reason I play 2k5 over this is because of the limitations in 2k8. Its EA's fault but 2k really dropped the ball and rushed this out. Gameplay is amazing though. Love your videos, one minor gripe... Madden 17 did initially have a pretty damn good strip sack that was removed in a patch, the same patch that installed a stupid running back move that made them slow down and juke in the open field. EA sucks. Last Madden I bought used. Haven't bought Madden new since 25. Thanks for the roster link I'll check it out. I love 2k8 but playing it always depresses me because I think of what could have been.

    @@kylefunderburk4194 they should have skipped the expensive legend system and gave us a totally customizable system where you can generate players the same way you can with the APFE but with a cap on how many points you can assign to player ratings for the whole team, like a salary cap. Legends were cool and they feel different, yes, but at the same time they essentially played the same because the tier system created a bum, good, very good, and great caste of players but didn't give varied and flawed players they way you had in 2k5. You wouldn't have to choose between giving the ball to Tiki Barber a lot (50 fumble rating) and Ron Dayne (70 overall but 90 secure ball), or playing Kerry Collins (7 fumble rating and 50 speed) and Rich Gannon (higher fumble rating and speed and consistency but weak arm), or playing Deshaun Foster (higher speed and break tackle animations that were much faster) or Stephen Davis (more consistent broken tackles but slower animations and speed) the 2k8 editor finally lets people create a very diverse assortment of teams

    2K should give it another shot. Yeah the game flopped in 2007 but now the market has changed. Gaming in general has changed. 2K is so big now that a football game done by them would no doubt be successful. I’m not blaming EA anymore, 2K fans and football fans have been begging for them to comeback and 2K won’t even speak about a football game. With how much money they made on NBA2K and GTA they can afford to at least make an attempt.

    They don't give a shit, obviously. They only care about the bottom line, which to be fair is kind of the point of corporations. Their approach is to have the dev team spend as little as possible, then make as much as possible. This is why Madden barely has any new features, and largely is the same year after year, with few improvements: they don't get the budget to completely overhaul the game.

    APF could work out better today than in 07. Players that have retired since are more known and dear to people who play video games: ray lewis, brian dawkins, ed reed, LT, Vick, steve smith, TO, Moss, peyton, eli, charles woodson, michael strahan, julius peppers, urlacher, 85, and much more. The roster for APF08 was great but most players were before most video game players time. I think if it were released today with a franchise mode, it might sell better than 08. The fix for the franchise aging problem, would be to place players on teams based on their prime year, and have players, including generic players to level up to bronze, silver and gold Edit: thinking back to this comment and others I've made about this game, all 2k needED (because now they kinda can't) to do was to make something similar to what axis and maximum are trying to so. Basically: remove the legends, add more plays, add more jersey, cleats and helmet options, add more logos, add the ability to create a college league, pro league or even HS league then have those league interact with each other and release a license-less game that plays great for 30-40$

I'm someone who's been a hardcore sports / sports gaming fan dating back to the early 2000s. I've been on forums like Operation Sports and we've collectively bashed our skulls in with year after year of disappointment with our franchise modes (whether it be Madden, FIFA, or NHL) - and only NBA2k has really satisfied that thirst with their magnificent MyLeague (which sadly doesn't get enough attention cuz people are obsessed with MyCareer) Nonetheless, I remember getting All-Pro Football 2k8 when it came out, got it on Xbox 360, and I STILL have fond memories of playing it to this day. It's been 5+ years but this was a wonderful trip down memory lane. I remember LOVING Ricky Watters as my silver star running back. The smoothness of the gameplay just feels completely counter to what Madden has become in recent years. Keep up the good fight. It feels awesome to finally have a video game critic who covers sports games now!

I don't play trash ass Madden and a lot of games that I grew up playing they don't even fucking make any more. The need for speed game the last 7 years have been garbage. The Call of duty games ever since black opps 2 have been fucking garbage. Halo 5 was fucking garbage. The company that made Halo popular don't even make the Halo games anymore bungie. You don't got games like NFL Street or NBA street, SSX, Def jam fight fight for New York. Or games like 25 to life or the 59 cent game called bulletproof. The fighting games these days are trash. They released Street fighter V and had the audacity to charge $60 for the game and it only came with like 7 playable characters because you had to wait for the company to add the rest of the characters to the game, get the fuck outta of here with that. Tou ain't got no marvel vs. Capcom, no SNK vs Capcom, no SNK vs Marvel. There's no new King of fighters games no new Samurai shodown games or fatal fury games. They don't make midnight club anymore. They don't make Dead space anymore. There not even boxing games these days, no knockout Kings no fight night. You don't got no College football games and there's no college basketball games. The gaming titles from the 90s and 2000's are way better than the gaming titles these days and that's a fucking fact.
