Re: PFT mentions APF 2K8..........
Man... you guys are useless, remind me to never ask any of you to find something for me. ;P
Search "Madden" on the page and this is the first thing that pops up:

SOME REAL COMPETITION FOR MADDEN?
EA Sports locked up the exclusive NFL video game license just as Sega was putting together a game that, in time, could have been superior to the Madden series. The immediate concern was that the ensuing dearth of competition would cause the Madden game to stagnate.
And, frankly, it has. The Madden offerings for Xbox 360, for example, have been disappointing.
But now there's a new entry. Courtesy of Darren Rovell of CNBC.com, by way of the folks at Deadspin.com, we've learned about All-Pro Football 2K8 from 2K Sports. It will feature more than 240 former NFL players, including Barry Sanders, John Elway, Jerry Rice, Dan Marino, John Unitas, Mike Singletary, and Walter Payton.
On the other hand, the game also has O.J. Simpson.
Recognizable names from other eras add a mild dose of intrigue. But without NFL trademarks and logos, will anyone want to play? We think it all comes down to the how good the game is. If the product is superior to Madden, it will sell.
It won't outsell Madden, by any means. But plenty of folks will buy both of them, if/when they realize that the non-NFL game is better.
Are we rooting for the new product to take off? Yes, if for no reason other than that it could force EA to make Madden better.
Then again, now that we've discovered Guitar Hero, we might never buy another football game. Ever. |
