So, the big debate this year for many football fans is to choose either All-Pro Football 2K8 or Madden 08 or BOTH. Now as an avid football game player, I am to say that I have owned the only decent football game -- Madden -- for many years but have been disappointed at the lack of features and the not so good gameply of Madden. With All-Pro coming back with a vengeance, i'm proud to say that finally i'm going to stop getting Madden games and get this instead. This is something unique and different and I can't wait to get this game next week. Your thoughts?ORPost your thoughts.

Ill be getting both eventually, but it really depends on what types of gameplay features that are going to be included in each game.

As it looks right now, i will be getting Madden first, becuase it seems to have a lot of interesting gameplay ideas this year, as well as enough buffer time to work out all of the kinks in there new engine, since it has been 3 years now.

Again, i will have to get more info on both, but its looking like madden first for now.

Madden and rent 2K8, I am interested in it but i do not think I will like playing with fake teams, I said they should have gone after the CFL so they at least had some really teams.

Yeah, I can't believe the praise the gameplay is already getting in previews! I wouldn't really call it "hype" just because these guys all said they were very disappointed wtih 06 and 07 and all have said the same thing that Madden has finally gone "next-gen." It should be a great game. So yeah, I am picking up Madden as well as NCAA. I will rent APF though because I want to try it out and see how it is (even though I disliked NFL 2K1-2K5, the original on Dreamcast was the only game I liked in the series).

2K8 is going to be the **** They had a lot of time on the game to make it the best Football game out.Too bad they cant make a NFL game but maybe with 2k8 doing well. The NFL will reconsider the stupid exclusive rights deal. Just wait Peeps the BEST football game is back and back with some Legends(YA DIG)....................

Madden, APF sounds good but it doesnt have a franchise mode, you can only do one season with your team which is stupid.

I forgot about that but it is a great point because I usally play like 4 or 5 madden Seasons so i get a lot of use out of the game, but if you had to change your team everytime it would suck

2k8 f0r me

as long as the gameplay stays with the same formula as their past games ill be satisfied

I dont even need franchise because Online Leagues and Tournaments is where it's at and then you got

Unitas, Elway, Montana, Marino, Cunningham, Barry Sanders, Gayle Sayers, OJ Simpson, Walter Payton, Emmit Smith, Earl Cambell, Ronnie Lott, Dick Butkus, Too Tall Jones, Reggie White, Jerry Rice just to name a few

ill take that group of legends over todays players any day

I was going to get both but now after looking at some gameplay videos i think 2k8 is all i need for my football fix. Madden would be nice so i can play as my favoite team and all but 2k8 looks so much better IMO.

if you turn on your xbox on sunday during the nfl season then you'll probably get 2k8. if you actually like the nfl and know more players other than peyton manning then you'll probably pick up madden. madden is for nfl fans.while 2k8 has a few dinosaurs running around, madden will be playing with actual current players.

madden will always sell more copies and thats a fact, it doesnt matter how crappy the game is *cough* Madden 06 *cough* madden fans will go out and purchase it no matter how bad the game is, not saying 08 will be bad but im just saying sales wise madden will always be better, does not mean the game will be good just means madden has been out longer then everyone

Not only will I buy both of these, I will definitely be getting NCAA Football 08 opening day... $180... guess I should stop buying things like food for a little bit.
