I think the NIners and Cowboys have the most players.

I'm really bummed that they left out Steve Young. Maybe it's because he is employed with espn or something.

Mike Ditka is in the game and he works for ESPN.

George "Ice" Teague
Phil Simms
Jack Lambert
John Riggins
Ron Jaworski
Harold Carmichael
Doug Flutie
Andre Rison

I was taking a "wait and see" approach about this game, but the roster has really got me curious. Smart move with the legends. I'm interested to hear more information.

On a side note, I wonder how this will sell to guys in their teens and early 20's. This game's niche seems to be towards my age bracket (30+)... Very creative idea

[ajwines64]

I'd like to see some more colts.

Eric ****erson
Marshall Faulk
The Goose
Cornelius Bennett
Ray Buchanon

For some reason you cant spell erics last name out becuase of the first 4 letters. LAME

I think they got enough of the newer legends to appeal to the younger crowd. I'm 22 and I'm stoked about the roster of legends. I told my teenage brother about the direction APF was taking and he was like, "Oh no way! That's awesome. I remember running all day with Roger Craig on Play Action Football on the NES, and making interceptions with Ronnie Lott. It's going to be cool to have all those old school guys on it."

I think there are enough guys on that roster that people who liked playing football games even just 10-15 years ago will be happy. It'll almost be nostalgic playing with a lot of the same players that are remembered from childhood days of Joe Montana Sports Talk NFL Football, Play Action Football, Tecmo Bowl, and Madden NFL circa early 90s.
