  • Good look at the state of All-Pro Football 2K8

    I've been talking about many of the issues surrounding APF 2K8 for a while, and been taking some flack for it from 2K fans. Despite this, I felt that I was being fair, and presenting from a perspective that was relevant. When evaluating what 2K needed to do to break into the market and come away successful with a game such as this, I took a look at what they needed to do to achieve that back in March. They simply haven't come through on much, and in many ways gone backward...
  • Disappointment abounds after less than enthusiastic impressions of All-Pro Football 2K8

    On Monday, the site allgames.com radio show did a segment on APF 2K8. By late in the evening, the thread at Operation Sports had nearly reached 350 replies. Multiple threads on the 2K forums were created, including ones with different theories and conspiracies about why the game wasn't being touted as the greatest thing ever. The first frustration came from sitting though a multi-hour show that everyone seemed to feel was completely worthless and embarrassingly bad. That likely didn't ...

    2K Sports has released the first official trailer for All-Pro Football 2K8. Notes on the trailer follow below it. What I took from this trailer: -The framerate didn't seem consistent. Is the game going to be locked in at 60fps? We haven't heard yes or no and that could be worrysome. -A real 2K5ish look and feel to it. That isn't necessarily bad although it seems that a lot was borrowed from a three year old game. -The player models just don't seem right, especially how skinn...
  • A new (even more ridiculous) APF stadium screenshot

    Another screen from All-Pro Football 2K8 has found its way out. It features one more in the line of over-the-top stadiums. This one is for the team called the Beasts. Click the thumbnail below to see the full size image. Okay...so seriously this beyond ridiculous now. That is really the only word I can think of to describe it, ridiculous. It was bad enough the giant bird. It was bad enough giant scorpions, rhinos, and beehives. It was even worse the offensive Indians team and stadium. Eve...

    Amongst the barrage of screenshots from today and yesterday, 2K Sports has also revealed the full feature list for the game. You can check it out by clicking below into the full article. Overall the list of things, especially the customization aspects, sound good. After seeing the success of Forza 2 in that regard, the potential is clearly there to a huge aspect of games in the future. However it is too early to know if the options will be nearly as vast as those in Forza and it seems unl...
  • More All-Pro Football 2K8 screens released

    2K Sports has released another batch of screenshots for APF 2K8. Click the thumbnails below for the full size images. For the most part these look a little better than the first ones that were released yesterday. The best one is the action shot of the RB however with the blurred background it allows for the enhancement of what is seen up close. I also feel that the one showing the the action around the pocket looks better than the rest. Viewing actual gameplay fo...
  • First All-Pro Football 2K8 video coming Friday night

    The first video for APF 2K8 will air on Spike TV at 1am Friday night the 8th (technically Saturday morning the 9th). It will then hit the gametrailers.com site a half hour later. I think most people would agree that the most important thing in terms of visuals is how it looks while the game is in play. Regardless of the disappointing screenshots in the end that will be what matters once you've got the game in. Screenshots are never the best way to judge a game. It will be interesting t...
