All-Pro Football 2k9???

If there is a new APF 2k9...What will APF 2k9 have that Madden 09 lacks?

[RogueHominid]

There's always next year. Until there isn't anyway.

OK, so here's a legitimate question: 2K10? Will we see APF2k10?

I doubt it, cause everything but tis game in next gen sports has been a dissapointment, so why would they make it?

Seems to me that that is precisely why you'd make a 2010 version available in 09.

Agreed. They put a legitimate amount of resource in marketing the first all pro football. With the right moves and added features, they may be able to nail a niche market that is waiting for a non-EA football game.

I think they got a lot of people curious about the game, but they needed more to capitalize on that curiousity to motivate game purchases. Whether that maybe simply more money spent on marketing or simply making the game more enticing. I think there is sales left on the table, and I sure as hell believe these sales hold much more potential then some of the other markets 2k publishers persue.

Don King Boxing was a big fat F! in terms of successfully furfilling a gap in the gaming market. I haven't looked at the sales of that title, but even with a crappy title.. if they market it right they can still make money.

2k learn from EA in where they are successful, because then you can please your core fans with affording the risk of another non-nfl licensed football game. Don't tell me that Blitz and this other strange football title have more potential then you guys to reach the sales cause that is hogwash.

Agreed. If everything else is bad, that's the perfect reason to make 2010.

The only reason I can see to not make it is finances. I don't know how much 2k8 cost versus how much it made ... but with 2k's bottom line being as thin as it is, I'm not sure they can afford the reinvestment without guaranteed increased return.
