Newest 1up Podcast (from today) has APF2K8 impressions.

[ex carrabba fan]

Ooh, the gold, silver, bronze thing sounds like a nice idea. I like how you can only have eleven legends.

Right Stick tackling sounds exactly like something talked about for 2k6 until you know what happened. Getting interesting around here.

Yeah, I thought the same. I'm excited about that. How about this Firebird covering the stadium? Ohh and the water splashing and punters slipping in the snow.

You can have 11 legends per team: 2 GOLD level legends, 3 SILVER level legends, 6 BRONZE level legends (11 total) Weather effects are "really well done" and can seriously "effect gameplay". There are online tournaments, online leagues. You CAN customize generic players. The build that the 1up guy saw had "players that look as good as Madden Next Gen". EB's mid July release date confirmed by 1up. (1 day before NCAA). $60 confirmed.

Sounds a little restrictive to me, what if I wanted an entire team of silver players? Or what if I REALLY wanted a challenge and opted for an entire team of BRONZE players?

I hope those restrictions aren't final...

im sure you dont have to have any legends if you dont want, i dont think they are going to make you get two gold, it is just a restriction on having those. who would really want 11 gold, think of it kind of like a salary cap.

The weather, tackling and sideline interaction sound like nice touches to get you really into a game while you're playing. I may shell out $120 for this and NCAA. I'm going to be hitting the sticks hard in July and August.

Hey, that bronze, gold and sliver stuff is the same thing the guy from gamespot was talking about maybe he is telling the truth?

[Spectre]

Sounds exciting, this is gonna be great. I haven't listened to this podcast before but I really like the opinions of these guys.

He said seeing the legends in different jerseys weren't that weird

"NBA Live was a piece of crap"
