I feel your love for this game...what actually IS in the game - I love it too. But the manual that comes with the games says they've been working on this for years - so I'll take their word over yours.

C'mon. I love this game but this is one area where they could have done more.

There are only a few player specific animations in a game where the
"signature-style" should have been OVER THE TOP and very easily seen.

As much as I enjoy playing Barry Sanders... you will NOT see this in APF 2k8:

They really could have captured his jukes a lot better. Just like they made players like Marino have a faster animation on throws to simulate "Quick Release" they could have done the say with Barry's Jukes.

And there are a ton of other players in the game they could have replicated in a better fashion than how they did.

THAT IS ALL THEY HAD TO DO,AND WE WOULD OF HAD THE PERFECT FOOTBALL GAME. and in that aspect they failed and took 3 steps back from 2k5. no reason for it and in the long run it will destroy the offline portion of the game,which IMO 2k5 rapes to no end.

This isnt an NFL game...when will you guys get over it, if you want the NFL buy Madden, if you dont want Madden throw on a jersey get some friends and go play football.

Seriously I've had more fun with this game then I've had with Madden AND 2K5 since 99 when I was too young to care who was the best player on the team.

The only thing I can complain about this AND NCAA this year is I can't pick one to play, they are just that good.

No game will ever be able to recreate some of the things Barry Sanders did. Just watch the video that you posted and honestly ask yourself if you could see that being in any video game. They did a decent job catching Sanders' cut back ability, but Barry was a unique individual that can't be replicated in games.

Interesting, that is news to me. OH well.

Do you really think a video game is going to be able to capture that? I don't know, maybe some day.

In that same post, I just gave a way how they would be able to do this for Barry. This is only one example for one individual. You could have done this for a ton of guys.

I'm not saying Barry should be juking 11 players and the coach. I'm saying they could have done a better job in making these players feel "authentic."

As it is, the players feel hard to stop b/c they break tackles very often and make plays. That's a good way to have you, the gamer, truly feel like they are playing with a legend. However, there is not much in the game that makes you "feel" like there is a difference amongst some of the legends.

If I created a Gold player in the same position as any existing Legend with the same three exact attributes, you wouldn't be able to tell difference aside from their name.

wth does this have to do with taking out the ability to edit players and choose team names that I want?

Meanwhile looking in the create a player name Date base I see the name HESTER AND BENSON.

They dropped the ball in the offline portion of the game,you know it,I know it and at the end of the day the Torch is still held by 2k5.

I won't even mention the FALSE ADVERTISING FOUND IN THE BACK OF THE GAMES DISC HOLDER.WHERE IT SAYS

FULL CUSTOMIZATION

I am sorry but that is a LIE and leading Gamers to think this is a Winning Elven type of Football game.

The only thing saving this game is the online portion of it,and guess what.........................THEY RESET THE RECORDS EVERY 2 WEEKS.

SO WHY EVEN WASTE THE TIME TO BUILD UP A WINNING RECORD?

The onfield gameplay is great,the rest of the game NOT SO MUCH.
