Towards the end of 2004 a terrible announcement was made. EA locked up the NFL license exclsuively. It was evident how they put less work into Madden NFL 06 and 07 than the other titles. NFL 2K5 was great and the competition made Madden great that year too. 2K convinced many to buy NFL 2K5 with its $20 price. T.O. was on the cover, he’s changed uniforms (Dallas sucks) and 2K Football disappeared because they couldn’t make a NFL football game.
Well today 2K Sports announced All-Pro Football 2K8! The series will return this summer. I couldn’t find any screenshots on it so I don’t know how the visuals are back but its good that it was announced finally. So what will you buy All-Pro Football 2K8 or Madden 08? I’ll buy both unless Madden doesn’t improve at all. Comment your thoughts, 2K is back in football!!!
There’s also an interview with the developers of the game at Gamespot. It’s two pages long and pretty lengthy. Good read though.
Recommendation for 2K8: Don’t put a football player on the cover, bad things happen to athletes on covers of football games.

All-Pro Football 2k8 is my choice. Just knowing it’s the 2k series is enough to win my vote.

2K Football all the way. I’ve never been a fan of the Madden series (Okay, it ruled on the SEGA Genesis) but X-Box and onward, I have really preferred the 2K series much more when it comes to Football.
When asked why, I don’t even know how to explain it other than it just controls and “feels” better and more natural.

Come on DeaconBlade and dpcough. I’ve been a Lions fan for all of my life. Go cry me a river and a waterfall. The NFL doesn’t exist if your in Michigan. I still have my copy of 2k5 in my stack of games. I have to use that to remind me of what the NFL is like outside of Michigan. I bought Madden just so I’d have a game that ran on my 360.

I can’t stand Madden anyways, so it’s 2K8! I prefer NCAA by far. It’s just to bad they’ve done even less improvements on that then they have on Madden!
