I've played a few games on APF2k8, and I think it's definitely in the 8-range. If it was deeper, it'd be mid-high 9s IMO. The gameplay is awesome; for the most part, it's like NFL 2k5, but some aspects are changed(a new, more challenging kicking system for one thing). I loved 2k5's gameplay, so I really can't complain there. On a side note, the AI is definitely smarter than 2k5, which is a good thing. It's obviously still not perfect, but I'd say it's above average.
One thing that disappointed me a little is that you can only do single-team (offline) season modes. My brother and I usually make a season where both of us have a team, so this kinda bummed me.
I'd say the graphics are slightly better than Madden 07. The player models(and grass) in Madden are a little better(although I do like how not everyone is on roids in apf2k8) than apf. But, APF's animations blow Madden's out of the water.
From my experience, the announcers in apf2k8 mostly use the same lines from ESPN NFL 2k5. I was hoping for everything to be different from them, so I was(very slightly) disappointed. They're still better than anything Madden has to offer.
I haven't tried online yet, so I'm a little excited to start that.
All-Pro Football 2k8 is an excellent game. Anyone who loved NFL 2k5 will like this game. Most people probably don't want to spend $60 on it, and I understand that -- but I am happy I did.
