With the way that I've touted this game since its announcement, I'm very disappointed in this presentation AFTER 3 YEARS OF PREPARATION!!I've waited for this game to come, & would've waited 'til the franchise was freed up, just to get another 1. They (Sega/VC/2K Sports) shaved so much off of the 2K footgame, that it's almost unrecognizable. It STILL plays better than ANY other football game on the market (except ESPN NFL 2K5), has the most realistic feel to it, & even looks better than any football game on the market (all of this is true, even w/ the impending Madden coming). But, I just don't understand how features can be removed from the game, & there's nothing put in to replae them. THIS GAME NEEDS THE FIRST PERSON VIEW OPTION!!!! Why remove that, when the graphics are what's supposed to nake this game?!?? Any of us that have ever really played the sport, can really appreciate the realism & feel to it, when it was played on NFL 2K5. Those that have never played organized ball, could appreciate it, because it put you in the game. They HAVE to put it back for the next installment. On my current team, I have William Perry & Dexter Manley. Both were #72 on their respective teams. Why are they BOTH #72 ON MY TEAM?!???!? That shouldn't be! I don't like the soundtrack. But, w/ no option to upload any of your own music into the game, you're pretty much stuck w/ it. The kicking schematics are straight gahbage!!! (yeah, exactly how I spelled it!! - LOL) I've finally learned how to kick extra points, & even kick-offs; but, that elusive 3 pts. just seems to always get away from me, even w/ the game aiming the arrow for you! In addition to that, the controls are not as tight as its baby brother, 2K5. For some reason, I can't creep my LB to/near the line of scrimmage w/o him takin' off across the line. I've never been called for so many encroachment/offsides calls. The D-Line can't be moved anymore. They took away "The Crib" from us. A lot of the things APF 2K8 has taken out, are a lot of the things that made 2K5 the iconic game that it IS! So, needless to say, I'll be going back to 2K5, after going a few more rounds & a season with this.

Why in the hell doesn't 2K Sports make games for the PSP??!!?!? I'm a PS3 owner. So, for all of my XBOX 360 owners (that own this game) Let me know if you hear stutters in the commentary when the players head to the line, like us PS3 owners hear (?!??)

Yep, this is an addendum to my review of the game. & No, I probably still won't be buying Madden 08 either. After the previews, there are still no real differences; hence, no real reason to buy it. I'll play the demo @ the store before making that finaL determination.
