Update on demo for All-Pro Football 2K8
Today Jeff Thomas of 2K Sports commented on the topic of the demo for All-Pro Football 2K8 by saying that it would be coming "within the next couple weeks". This is unfortunate as the game is already fighting an uphill battle being the second football game released on the same day going up against NCAA Football 08. The demo for NCAA came out earlier this week. Not presenting consumers with an opportunity to try the game out could be costly. NCAA Football is a popular title and a ...
Achievements for All-Pro Football 2K8
The full list of Xbox 360 achievements for All-Pro Football 2K8 has made its way out. It consists of 50 achievements totaling the 1000 points. It looks like a pretty good set, with a nice mix of offline vs online and setting records vs completing tasks. One thing to wonder though is on those such as "set a single game record for receiving yards" what record are they using? I can't imagine they could use NFL records.

EA Sports to make another NFL licensed game
EA Sports announced that they will be developing a brand new officially licensed game, NFL Tour. It will be available on the Xbox 360 and PS3. NFL Tour is a new NFL licensed video game that offers players a fun and engaging experience with the NFL and its talented players. Gamers will be able to embark on a fictional NFL road show.

Update on the expected demos
In conjunction with E3 will come the release of numerous demos. Of those that are expected, the most likely sports titles are NCAA Football 08 and All-Pro Football 2K8. If you want a long shot it could be Nascar 08. Updates are below as of 7/12. Also as I've noted before, don't be surprised if one or both are released only for the Xbox 360 and not for the PS3. NCAA Football 08: Demo has been released on the 360 Marketplace. All-Pro Football 2K8: Demo is expected "within t...
All-Pro Football 2K8: The Special Abilities
Similar to Madden 08's weapons, APF 2K8 has its own set of "special abilities" for players. The complete list of them was recently revealed. These have essentially taken the place of player ratings so it will be critical to have an understanding of them. Overall I like the concept, but I'm curious how well it will work given that APF doesn't use a traditional 0-100 type rating system. There are questions as to how you differentiate between players who have the same abilit...
All-Pro Football 2K8 Hands-On from IGN
In what reads more as a recap of what is already known, IGN has posted their hands-on of APF 2K8 and added a few new screenshots. You can check it out by clicking here. They've also posted up new videos which you can view here. There were a few new things that somewhat surprised me though. The first is that the playoffs consist of only four teams. The season in All-Pro 2K8 will run the length of the traditional NFL season, although there is no bye week involved and no tradin...
All-Pro Football 2K8 new trailer and gameplay videos
2K has released a new official trailer for APF 2K8 and Gamespot has posted up some gameplay videos.
It is refreshing that now, instead of the marketing being the topic of discussion, it will be the actual game that is talked about heading towards release. The demo is going to be a big part of that, something I'm sure everyone is looking forward to.

Football games on PS3 to only run at 30fps
One of the biggest factors to the new football games being enjoyable are that they run at 60fps. Of course we've only seen footage on the Xbox 360 and it is very apparent that it really does make a significant difference. 1UP however has confirmed that the PS3 versions of Madden 08, NCAA Football 08, and All-Pro Football 2K8 will only run at 30fps. Only the 360 versions of those games will run at 60fps. That is a HUGE deal. Now not only does the 360 h...
