I often think about what NFL 2K13 would have been like. Since Ea has had the exclusive license, the video game football arena has been an abyss with only one overlord. How do you compete with that? How would you? You don't have their money, their marketing, the licenses...how do you combat all of that? This is how I would combat that, if I could.

I have to first start with the fundamentals and for that I would use All Pro Football 2K8 but with a few additions.

I see alot of people loving the demo and I don't know how to post the problems that I have found without being labeld a h8ter.

I know this isn't the final build and people will scream nit picker but when you see these things every release it's hard to forget them or even let them...

Running the football is easier than passing.
Offensive and Defensive line interaction is spot on on their first try!...

I really didn't pay much attention to it other than to change the way I had been trying to get my message out... the truth about the defects in the game. (3:30 pm EST) I received another email stating I had been suspended for 72 hours for making another violation of the TOS. Now...

The high flying Eagles offense that made Tampa Bay look pedestrian, are in the 3rd quarter of a game that should be a clinch win. Instead the Eagles have allowed 5 sacks, and have only 2 field goals (2 missed) and are letting the Raiders defense look superhuman! it's not helping that the Raiders are getting a lot of "Home Cooking" calls as well as no calls, but the game should still not be this out of hand with less than a touchdown lead! To make matter worse, Desean Jackson is injured...
