I didnt realize how good APF 2K8 was until I played Madden

I think its done perfectly in APF....

I think APF nailed the individual skills of the different players not just QB's. But yes I agree they got the QB's abiltiy to throw on the move down well.

Cunningham on the boot action plays outside the pocket is deadly.

I have put some Madden time in now. Initially I was underwhelmed. I played it some more, it's definitely an improved game. Up to this point, I like it, and had a lot of fun with it last night. At this point, I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any 3 of the football games that have been released.

My biggest problem will be finding time to play all three games as much as I am going to want to play them.

He doesn't need to have played Madden to read the impression thread and comment on his take of it. Playing the game is irrelevant to his point since his point is based on a observation of the thread, not the game.

I guess. It's kind of funny how he only gleans certain impressions and not others. And seems to have an opinion on the game despite no playing it. BUt alas I shouldn't be surprised.

I shouldn't be surprised your arguments are full of holes either. =P

I toyed around with the Franchise mode last night. It's much like the past versions of LG Madden. Plus you start scouting incoming players for the college draft throughout the year. Hire fire coaches. Looks like Injured Reserve actually works this year, but I am going to have to check again (it was late last night, so I'll believe the fixed that finally, when I see it).

Franchise mode looks solid, but doesn't appear to be anything groundbreaking this year. It does give you the ability to try to relocate your team, and design your own stadium. I tried that last night, and my proposal got voted down. lol.

Not to mention the fact that people actually, whether consciuosly or subconsciously go out of their to not like 2k or not even try it. What a shame.

subliminals (kidding)? ive seen my share of the subconscious 2k dislike. i think these people assume it's like a Hydrox (fake oreo) type brand, so they don't give it a chnace-- they just dont know much about VGs
