Good game but did not live up to the expectations.

I personaly have been a sega/2K football sports fan for a long time now. When i herd about this game i couldnt beleive they were going to make it. Like any other die hard 2K fottball fan i went out and got the game on the realese date. But now i wish i had waited for madden and then chose which i would buy. For starters the game looks great. The player graphics are great most of the legends in the game look like their life like counterparts from when they were playing football. The scrub plaers dont look that bad and all of the colors in the game blend together really well. There are a few instances were the graphics won't look good but those will pop up only a few times in a game. Overall this is one of the best looking football games on the market.

This is the one part of the game where everyone has been crying about. The actual gameplay. People say there isn't anything new. Why would you change a system that has been working for a long time. If it works stick with it. The gameplay is the 2K football gameplay we have come to know and love. No matter what anyone says it is still very fun and it is still one of the best.

The worst part of the game it the lack of modes. There are only four total things to do in the game. Edit/Create a team, exibition, season, online. While those modes are good i think we all would have liked some more thins to do like fpf(first person football), the crib,tournament,franchise,situation. The season mode is a bear single celled version of a season mode. You take your created team into a 16 game season after you play for one full season that is it. Not multiple saeson mode in this game. Overall the modes section of this game lacked alot.

The sound is one of the games strongest points. Dan Stvens and Peter O'keef come back to do the play by play for this game. Though it is nice to see them back, they are geting a little old. More than half of the commentary from 2K5 is just being reused in 2k8. The presentation is good as well with a halftime and a postgame show. But all of th lines that Chris Breman did for 2K5 are being used by Dan Stevens. There isn't total custimization this year. There are alot of teams but if you dont have a team with a stadium made specifically for them it dosn't feel right playing in generice stadiums. All in all the sound,presentation,and custimization are up to par in this edition of 2K sports football for 2008.

This years game was a good solid first effort for the 2K sports franchise in the new generation of football games. The game looks great and plays great. New modes and better cutimization is something i know i will be looking forward to for 2K9. If you were sitting back waiting to get either Madden or All Pro you should give All Pro a rental and buy Madden 2008. Even though i didnt want to see it happen this game fell short of expectations.
