All Pro Football 2K8 Conversion

[RedDoby]

Hey all. I have spent the last couple of months working on an excel workbook with automatic conversion of FOF8 league data files into an All Pro Football 2K8 roster file. It's finally finished!! With this you can actually play All Pro Football with your FOF teams. I am a visual person and love both games so I thought how better to use FOF's game logic along with APF's awesome gameplay. I was going to create an instructional video and share the utility here if anyone is interested. I'll also post some gameplay. I just wanted to see if this is anything anybody would use. You would need a copy APF 2k8 and the APK 2k8 editor at SimHeads website.

I've got an old xbox 360 that I don't play anymore (I haven't played another computer game since I discovered FOF about a year ago), and I've got Madden on that but never really got into it.

Is it a good idea to find an old copy of All Pro Football 2K8? A quick google seems to reveal there's a lot of love out there for it. And if this converter comes to light, being able to play with my MP FOF teams sounds fun

Unless the game is cheap, I would probably hold off picking it up. That's my plan anyway

The game is Very inexpensive, a couple of dollars. The All Pro Football 2k8 editor is $10 though...that's another cost to consider. I am waiting on a replacement fan for my pc before I can make a tutorial without sounding like a lawn mower running in the background. It should be here next week.

For now I'll link you to gameplay video on youtube. I'll edit my first post with the links.

Just wanted to share an update on this. I am having computer hardware issues. The fan that runs inside my All-in-One PC is making a loud noise and I can't seem to find the right replacement anywhere. It's right next to the microphone, and when I record audio it sounds as if I am in a helicopter. Therefore I can't make a tutorial video with clear audio. Without these instructional videos it would be difficult for anyone to use so I am just going to wait until I get this noise problem taken care of.

I was able to make the videos, the sound is slightly muffled but should work. Videos are complete and links on first post are added. Any idea why I can't attach/upload the excel Workbook here? The file size is 39MB which is under the max limit. I am getting an error message stating that I do not have proper permissions.

Roster Converter download link added to first post. I wanted to attach it here as a download but it's not working so I just used my One Drive account instead. Happy gaming!!
