  "As for last year's franchise debut of All-Pro Football, it apparently didn't make the cut. When asked about the absence of a football game on the company's release schedule, Take-Two execs said it had been taken off the slate, but they were continuing to weigh their options."

  "There will not be a new football title from 2K Sports this year (the company released the non-NFL licensed All-Pro Football 2K8 in 2007) but Take Two execs stated they are still looking at perhaps releasing a new football game sometime in the future."

Which is what me and BK have been saying the entire time . It's not even being worked on at this point, but from a company standpoint I understand their decision.

Yeah, I just saw that. Not really surprising.

Take-Two also had news for a few of its other franchises. After Carnival Games on the Wii proved a surprisingly strong seller last year, the publisher is extending the brand. By the end of October, Take-Two plans to ship a DS version of Carnival Games, as well as a Wii-exclusive spin-off, Carnival Games: Mini-Golf. As for last year's franchise debut of All-Pro Football, it apparently didn't make the cut. When asked about the absence of a football game on the company's release schedule, Take-Two execs said it had been taken off the slate, but they were continuing to weigh their options."

Dammit. I love this game. I get the industry part and the good business sense part, but a part of me dies with this game/franchise. Melodramatic, yet, but none the less true for that. Thank God I have The Show.

That's weird, I just talked with the 2K Sports Community Manager yesterday...

I don't think it's off the slate. If it is, then they haven't informed their staff yet. lol

[bkfount]

oh well..

take two will be gobbled up by this fall anyways.

This is terrible news.

APF is one of my favorite games of all time. The Online game was just a thing of beauty.

I think I had over 220 games online, so that rounds out to about 200 hours of gameplay.

I dont think I have ever played a game that much in my life.

Very sad day for us. Im keepin 2K8.

Pour one out for em boys.
