Several years without making a Football game, I believe 2K Sports may have lost their touch.

On original Playstation my Football game of choice was the GameDay series. From there I tried Madden & ESPN Football. I was one of those whom favored 2K Sports NFL games over EA's Madden, so when I heard that they were going to create another football game I was very excited. Although I would much rather play with current NFL players, something about the idea of playing with Dan Marino, Barry Sanders, Ken Norton Jr., Herman Moore, etc. actually sounded pretty good, a twist of something new. However, not too long into my first session of playing the game did I start to think maybe 2K had lost some of their touch. I don't want to be harsh, but I have no other way of putting it, I hate this game. If you haven't played NCAA 08 or Madden 08 you might be able to stand playing this a little, but compared to those football titles All-Pro is trash. The graphics are ok but aren't going to excite you by any means & the create a team mode is fairly well put together , but thats about as much good as I can say. The controls are absolutely terrible, slow & unresponsive & the controller layout should had been put together a different way. Play calling & general menus look out of date and the sight of them after awhile will start to disgust you. All-Pro Football was a great idea and could have been really good, but the controls alone completely ruin its chances.
