Better than this Madden 2014 garbage. Do they still make that game?". That's when we can gouge him for $$$ LMAO

I suppose I shouldn't trample on your optimism, but everything about this game was "dated" the day it was released. That's why a grand total of 200,000 (or whatever it was) bought it at retail.

I hope you're able to find someone willing to play this game 5 years from now, but I highly doubt it. My conversation, however, would go something like this:

"Hey, do you remember when 2k tried that All-Pro Football game, and you'd score a touchdown with Barry Sanders, and instead of handing the ball to the ref like in real life, he started doing the Dirty Bird and talking trash? Man, that game SUCKED! And it didn't even have franchise or anything. Too bad GameStop doesn't accept it as a trade-in anymore because there isn't much of a profit margin to be had buying used games for $.50 that they can't sell for a dollar."

...and (hopefully)...

"Man, I'm so glad that Finn's editor version 9.1 came out so Puja could do his NFL 2k14 rosters for us. Especially now that Madden re-upped their exclusive deal with the NFL until 2019. Now, if only we can find a way to transfer Original XBox saves over to an XBox 720..."

The UFL (or whatever it's called) will be history just as quick as the XFL was. Nobody wants to watch a football league in which Eric Crouch is one of the top draft picks, nor does anybody want to play a game full of NFL wash-outs, has-beens, and never were's. Not to mention that the "league" only has 6 teams if i'm not mistaken. The league has already been postponed due to financial support. I doubt it will even get of the ground. The UFL is the last thing that could possibly save APF. A "Winning Eleven-style" game would've been the much better option, and still would be IMHO if the game were to actually still somehow get the green light. But don't hold your breath.

THE UFL; , how do I watch it when it comes out? Is it in bed with a specific network? When is the first game supposed to be (in nfl offseason? - that would be great)
I'd sopcast this sucker if it does take off.

VALDEZ SS DEAD ON GUYS LETS JUST WAIT AMD SEE WHAT 2K DOES!!! these guys it looks is workin their butts ftr this 2k9 game!!!

Let's try to look at it this way. This game can easily be played for as long as we want it to be. There aren't any roster updates or serious changes they can't just make an update for. If they really want to, they can just release a pack with a ton of legends or a pack w/ FPF and Franchise and such. The only reason NFL games don't follow up with games from 07 in 08 is because they wouldn't sell their new game if they just put out roster updates for last years. 2k doesn't have to worry about this with APF. Thus, the game can be timeless if 2k makes it that way.

is a wiat and see procss now!

I'm not mad or disappointed. Again I've said many times, if you can't do it right don't do it at all.

I'm sure APF 2k8 had a lot of limitations for a reason! And if they couldn't do what they wanted to with 2k9 I'm sure it would be a waste of development dollars.

With the exiting of CH series, I knew this would come too. Sorry a lot of you kept your hopes up. But it was a business decision I didn't see Take Two moving forward with a sequel.

2k football will be scarse again. for another 5 years. I guess we will see NFL 2K14 on the Xbox Next and PS4.
