    Top 3 Favorite Players to Use in APF 2K8

    Now that we've gotten some playing time under our belts I know everyone has found certain players that are just fun to use. For me...

    Dan Marino - I feel like the terminator when I walk down the field with him. The quick release and arm strength are just amazing.

    Shannon Sharpe - Big, powerful, and good hands is just a really hard combination to beat. He helps me keep the chains moving and opens up stuff for other players.

    Natrone Means - I was a big fan of this guy during the year they got smashed by the 49ers in the Super Bowl. He has decent power, speed, and cuts. His combination of attributes fits my play style perfectly.

    What about you guys?

    Ken Stabler - Gotta love the tough lefty who evade the oncoming rush and throw on the run

    Gale Sayers - Cuts, cuts, and more cuts. Once he finds the hole it's over.

    RONNIE LOTT - OH YES. Ronnie is a beast. Sometimes my entire team is beat before you see Ronnie sprinting down the field, closing in on the target like a homing missle. I thought Jack Tatum was a beast when I first played the game, until I was introduced to Ronnie Lott. So what did I do? Put em both on my team of course.

    Jack Tatum - Boom. Tatum has caused the only 4 fumbles I have seen in this game. Him, Lott, Lewis, and McDaniel, provide one hell of a secondary.

    Irving Fryar - Tough in the middle, quick off the line, very reliable in all situations, including special teams.

    Something Edwards - Forgot this guys name, he's generic though. He's very sure handed, and I sometimes find myself going to him instead of Fryar sometimes.

    I have a couple more but these just came to mind since they make up my Brooklyn Bulls.

      ROD WOODSON- I can't say enough about him, he is a menance and has made any fool with a passing game regret it, especially when you compliment him with a good safety tandum. He brings so much to your team he is invaluable.

      Mike Singletary- Only one required!

      Ben Coates_ A gold in silver covering. Really, Ben a Silver?

        I'm using Stabler as well with Sayers in the backfield and Tatum in the secondary.

          Finally another Natrone Means fan, I like him in this game too, because he fits my playing style as well. My other players are Willie Brown, who is beast in the secondary and then is Jack Tatum, deadly combination with them in the secondary.

            Walter Payton- G.O.A.T

            Jerry Rice - Catches everything you throw at him..

            Randall Cunningham - Mobile, agile, and a downright Cannon for an arm...

                Randall Cunningham - I get a preverse joy out of launching the ball 60 yards downfield.

                Walter Payton - I feel almost guilty using him. Is ther anything he can't do?

                Fridge Perry - Overrated in this game? Yes. But this hunk of lard demands a double team and will destroy most generic players who decide to go one on one with him. He gets more sacks consistently than any other players on my team (and I have a Gold Rated Tod Lilly playing right next to him.)

                  My knowledge base on these HOF probably nowhere near as deep as some of you guys here but since playing the game more and getting used to it Im liking it more.

                  Randall Cunningham - Fits my style to a tee, rocket arm, evades the rush pretty good for me.

                  Too tall jones - love this guy, he norm wreaks havoc in the backfield for me

                  Metzelars - forgot his first name but he's prob been my go to when i need yrds and he's only bronze

                  im still working on finding a good tandem in the secondary been playing with jack tatum so far

                    I've been meaning to give the Thurmanator a try.

                      Steve Bartowski: If you're playing a team with the right recievers, his rocket arm is awesome, and at Bronze, he's a better value than Cunningham with the right protection schemes.

                      James Lofton: Fast. Really fast.

                      Pete Metzelaars: Incredibly value at TE at Bronze. If I'm playing a West Coast Offense, I have to have him in my lineup. I prefer him over most silver and gold TE's.

                        Jack Tatum - Beast in the secondary, as MC said earlier

                        Walter Payton - Looks just like him, runs just like him. Sometimes he can be my entire offense.

                        Mike Golic - Oddly, he's one of my favorites. He's strong and sometimes runs right through the line himself.

                          I've played 50+ games online and have made hundreds of tweaks to my team.

                          Here are 3 players I've added to my team and haven't removed them since:

                          1. Gregg Lloyd OLB (Silver) - A beast against the run and does a great job covering the pass to the flat. Also, even though his abilities don't show it, he's racked up some nice sack numbers for me on hot route blitzes.

                          2. Lem Barney CB (Silver) - Awesome PR/KR and great man to man cover corner. He's been as effective as a Gold CB usually shutting down whatever WR I match him up against.

                          3. Terry McDaniel CB (Bronze) - Does a great job covering oppositions #2 WR's. Rarely gets burned and for the price of a Bronze thats more than I can ask.

                            Emmitt and Dan the Man. These were my two gold star players for a reason. Emmitt has the arm of steel. He is virtually untackleable if you know how to use the stiff arm, and Dan has a laser for an arm and that quick release. I love it when Marino is about to get hit and he throws a laser cross field. 2k did a really good job capturing some of these players tendencies and motions.

                              • Okoye - I thought I would like to play with him and I was right....I'm better with him than the gold backs
                              • K. Jackson - Bulldozer abilty makes him an extra lineman for running purposes and he is still very good through the air
                              • R. White - when paired with another DE that can rush the passer, the combo can be lethal


                              There are actually quite a few O Linemen that I like too as well....glad to see them be worth a pick in the game.
