What Can We Learn From NFL 2k5 and APF2K8:Part Six:APF2k8

From playing madden, NFL 2k series even the MLB series and other sports games I noticed the importancy of classic players, teams etc..However the problem was even though you could customize the classic teams with the players you knew they were never THE PLAYERS. This all changed however with All PRO Football 2k8.

What Can We learn?

The uniqueness of legendary players

This will be a short one as the last two will but the uniqueness of legendary characters such as the one shown above Jerry Rice's abilities to get open and catch or Barry Sanders quick jukes and spins and agility all were followed even down to Walter Peyton's Sissor steps or mike singletary's stride and tackles

All were covered and I felt brought something new to the table considering the importance of how NFL players of old were.

However, adding the modern effects to them were unecessary(ie jerry rice doing TO celebrations?...NO).

What was learned?
-Legendary players always the best when they are actually the legendary players from walter payton to Johnny Unitas dropping back and throwing mechanics.
What was missed?
-modern day celebrations?...big no.
-Know when to stop once you have something good(read above with modern day celebrations)

Up next in Part seven..Customization what it should mean....

Did part 6 really need it's own blog? Legendary players can be cool but I learned that I cared nothing about the generic ones. I also learned that without an editor I couldn't change them and it was annoying.

You learned well..next thing to learn is this is my blog and If I wanted part 6 to be this its because I learned something from this. Now respectfully you have your opinions but don't come to question or bash and it will be peaceful.
