If you look at all of the removed features and the fact that the visuals are barely an HD-port of an NFL 2k5 engine, a fair marketing for this strategy would've been as a $15 or $20 XBLA game that essentially operated as a facelift on an XBox original (2k5), but in HD and with all NFL references removed. Heck, maybe even $25, but going that route could've at least suggested why a football gamer should buy this game AND Madden, much the way PS3 users ate up that terrible SOCOM: Confrontation game for $39 on PSN.

Since 2K dont have the NFL Licence...why dont 2K make All-Pro Football 2k9 as CFL 2K9 and continue on....this would be nice! 2K should use the Canadian Football Leauge and make the best game ever with great features,animations, graphics, presentation, game modes and Living Rosters...its just an IDEA for 2K and us loyal 2k fans!!! 2K will be back on top once again!!! While Madden is scratching his head saying like always..."I just don't uderstand why teams run on 3rd and long!!!
LMFO!!! C'mon OS!!!

2K8, as it is, is a good game.

The replay value, however, is lacking and that, IMO. is directly related to the lack of a franchise.

I'd be playhing it more often if a franchise mode was included as an option.

Lack of franchise, pure and simple.

I could care less about legends — if the game had had a deep franchise mode and rosters made up entirely of made-up players, I would've given it a shot. As it stands, I won't even pay $10 for it used.

I don't sim, I play games so franchise mode means nothing to me unless the gameplay is good. I think most people would rather have a franchise with bad gameplay so they can sim.

i only play the 2k8 demo...play it for about 3-4 'games'....get my gameplay feel then i'm done for a while

I think the best way to play AP2k8 is against VIP profiles in Exhibition mode, or against a human.The CPU logic in Season mode is a little digital.
