APF 2K9: What Could Have Been

[jyoung]

It's sad that people need fluff like franchise mode and NFL/NFLPA licenses to enjoy a football video game.

Gameplay comes before features. Always.

That's why All Pro Football remains my most-played 360 game, over a year into its lifespan:

it remains unmatched in terms of how well it plays on the field. No video game to date simulates the sport of football as well as All Pro does.

I wonder if some of you people would even play sports games at all if you grew up in the 8-16 bit era where league licenses were hard to come by and modes of play rarely extended beyond the typical season and exhibition matches.

Yeah but that was the 8-16 bit era franchise is not fluff it's a necessity.It add's to the experience plain & simple I agree it's the best football game-play ever but it needs franchise.
