Heres more rosters http://oursportscentral.com/usfl/rosters.php
maybe 2K is doing somthing like the USFL was trying to do

I can see why 2k made the linemen smaller .. but the smallest guy on that list is like 240 .. thats not small, at all. That's probably .. I guess Joey Porter size, but the linemen look like they are 200 pounds

I hate bringing this up .. I really do, but they really did undersize the D-Line

The men aren't undersized.The legends in the game are from a era for the most part where speed was key not size.Now they're were some exceptions,Ickey Woods,Okoye,Paytom etc.

Also, they have said this is not the NFL. It is APFB 2K8, and as long ans the D and O linemen are udersized on both sides; its a fair fight. Plus ther is more room for RB to squeeze through the gaps

You mean Oline? There are some perfectly sized Dlinemen in the trailer.

Yeah hopefully they fill them out just a little.. but i start to think maybe because tv and pics add those extra 10l bs thats why they look so big on tv

Players today have more size, strength, and speed. We have much better S&C than was available before. And in 25 years, players then will be bigger, faster, and stronger.

I have been hearing alot about the men being undersized. This game has alot of open customization so what if in the video the teams that they had out there were just user created teams and thats how the user wanted the players to look. Think about the color schems that were used.
