APF 2K8 Wish List

Okay folks, by now you've all seen the announcement that 2K Sports is bringing back their football franchise in the form of All-Pro Football 2K8. No details on the game have been made public yet, which gives us the perfect opportunity to endeavor in that most special ingedient of the Internet: idle speculation!

Let's do this in two categories:

1)What do I want to see in the game? Things like customizable teams, stadium, logos, rosters, etc. etc. Best-case, dream-game kinda stuff goes here.

2)What do I think will be in the game? Here's where we come back down to earth and try and predict what features and modes the game is going to include.

You can be sure the folks at 2K are paying attention, so let's hear your best and brightest ideas on just what APF 2K8 might be.

What I want to see:

- A man that frequently says "you can't coach that."

All stuff done before plus.

Create a touchdown Celebration.

Running like Madden 07 (right anaglog stick used for truck stick, and Jukeing)

Superstar mode like Madden 07

Really good graphics.

While it won't use Real players hopefully there will be inner league allstars.

Tackle Assist: I want to be able to have 2-3 players tackle one person to take them down.

More wide variety of Plays in the playbook: I want to be able to select at least 20 plays, In Madden they're are only about 15 designed Plays, It feels vague, and dull, I want alot of Plays to choose from.

Realistic Passing/Running game: More better Movement like in NBA 2k games where you would bounce off players, That is really important, In A football game if you are running the Ball you should bounce off lineman, Not get Stuck behind them (Unlike Madden). Running game is way to easy in Madden, What 2K should do is make it more like the NFl where you can get stuffed at the line verses Good Defensive Teams, but agiant Bad defensive team, you should have a good to Excellent running game, Balance it out between the Ranks of Defensive teams, and running Attack.

The passing game is way to easy, What they need to do is balance the QB's pass accuracy, and Power, not every QB throws a perfect strike down the field, Even it out, if the QB is an average starter he should not be any good against Top Ranked Defensive Backs, But Elite QB's should have there way, Make it harder to guess the Pass, and Make it harder to get the ball to Recievers. Tight Defensives is what I want in the game.

The Lineman should not know where you are running to either the left or right, In Madden the Lineman pusher over to the left (where the play is designed to go), and the Lineman go to the left almost immediately, They should'nt be that Good. The lineman cannot tackle a runningback when being Blocked. In madden the lneman/LB were able to tackle while being blocked, unrealistic. 2K should make it where of the Lineman or Linebackers were in that situation the Runner should be able to break the tackle.

Even out the Speed of the Game. For example In Madden a player with about a speed of 80 outran a player with a speed of 94 (Happened to me all the time), I know that Freeney cannot Outrun Michael Vick. Even out the speed. Make sure no Player is that fast.. IF a player has a speed 0f 80 and is trying to catch up to a player with a speed of 94, the player of 80 speed should not catch up, 2K Make sure you do this request.

better Animation, I want more custom Celebrations or dances, and an updated Rules list, Like a plyer running out of bounds and run back inbounds should not be the first one to catch the ball.

2K Basically do what you did in NFL 2k5.(withthe realism)

I think all they have to do is stick to the formula of 2k5.Just take advantage of the next gen hardware.The controls( in my opinion) have always been better then maddens robotic gameplay.I wish 2k5 was backward compatible on 360 because i would much rather play that then madden06 any day.godzillavskong

Besides isn't that what madden does?They just enhance the graphic,throw a new feature in, and add robotic gameplay and sell a bunch of copies of the name.I'd rather play 2k5 on 360 if it was backward compatible.Does anyone know why its not backward compatible yet?Is it because of the license deal?godzillavskong

I think 2k8 is going to be totally awesome, and i'm really digging the fact that there will be no NFL players in the game.  I think they should use some teams from tv and movies.  Like the Sharks from Any Given Sunday, and like the Cougers from Playmakers on ESPN.  If there are 25-30 teams like that it would be aweosme.

Also it would be nice if you could create your uniforms and stadiums and what not but in much better detail that in the Madden Series.  The Madden Create a team series seemed way to generic, those features could be extra fleshed out and it would make for an exciting mode.  Um, people have been touching on a lot of my thoughts with updated motion controls like where if your running the ball you bounce of people instead of getting stuck behind them and what not.    Also if Signature Style Controls could be incorporated it'd totaly rock.  Even though the styles wont be recognizable like in the NBA series due to the fact we wont have watched the players on tv it'll still make for a very enjoyable experience.  There isn't anynothing worse than everyone doing the same thing in a game, like everyoner running back running the same or every quarter back throwing the same, definately signature styles for these  "made up" players.

Other than that if the graphics are above average i'm sure the game will be off the hook.

Create a touchdown Celebration.StarFoxCOM

THat would be nice..

Honestly I’d like to see a football game that moves away from the twitch games and more toward strategy relating to play calling, maximizing your team’s strengths and weaknesses and etc. I know that’s not really 2Ks cup of tea but I can dream.duxup

Just make it CFL. ;)
 

B.C LIONS FTW!

I really want them to truely compete with Madden in terms of gameplay. Then Madden will have to step up it's game to match it, which will inturn make 2K step up it's gameplay. Then the true winner is the gamers. Now Madden is just able to stand pat and know it won't lose out.

How about make it so a guys body or hand cant go through another persons body, cause i thought this is next-gen it shouldnt be doin that, this game is gonna kinda suck cause of no real rosters thoughkool-aids

I want to gang takles with 2, 3, even 4, tacklers.

Quarterbacks dropping back to pass the old and new way.

Tons of different touchdown celebrations.

Lots of catching animations and momentums shift cutbacks.

Hand pockets and the towels that the players wear.

To be able to create your own franchise should be a gimme.

Top quality preame, halftime, postgame analysis, with above average quality.
and momentum shifts between opponents throughout the game.

and also some type of emotion on the sidelines, and sidline reports throughout the game about injuries and coaches halftime analysis and gameplan.

I've been playing these football games since dreamcast and I would like to tell 2k sports that there doing a fantastic job!! Here are SOME things I had in mind...

*Add Shirt Grabbing

*Add tripping (But on rare occasions..I mean RARE)

*When there's a nasty tackle make the Helmet come off in some instances..(At the same time that happends make sure the crowd reacts to it).

*Make field goal harder (Specially on bad weather conditions..like the QB that holds the ball it slips or something..or make a feature on holding the ball..I don't know..just fix it! =).

*More and Improved sound effects and tackle moves!!

*Make players get injured when they actually get hit really bad and NOT when they aren't even part of the play and get hurt..lol. (An automatic replay of how the injury occured will be nice).

*Improve blitzing so they won't get stuck in behind the DT's/DE's and vice versa for running back's getting stuck behind the Offensive Linemen.

*Make the game more physical and make players look like they are talking Sh** to each other and point to each other. Make them look more rough and tough!!

*Make RARE occasions where a REF get's hit in the field or sideline..(unexpected so it can be cool).

*Make the widereceivers more aware when catching the ball that "Both feet are inside the line". Make the receivers want to put both feet inside as HIGHLY important to complete plays.

*Better and enhanced takling receivers in the air. Like both safeties hammer a receiver in the air!

*Make fullbacks more aggressive and make them HUNGRY to hit those linebackers as hard as they can to open the whole for the RB.

*Celebration is important for the team morale..make celebration a big part. (Have a morale feature??).

*Make fans get into the game when it's like 4th and inches and you have the ball..that way it can hype you up and your players..(usually in 2k5 they scream no matter what..make us feel the diffrence 2k sports!!).

*Improve glitching about arms going through players and players getting stuck.

*Improve Statistics! Example: I play 5 min quarters and when I go to see my QB's stats in the League Leaders, I see he has 400 yds and another QB has 1000 yds. Make these statistics more realistic based on how many MINS one plays each quarter...that way we have more realistic statistics. (In 2k5 I think the computer statistics are based on full 3hr games...not cool when It comes to statistics).

*It'll be cool if we make our players work out and lift weights during off season??? (I don't think during season is good because then it's too much responsibility and too much to handle...)

*When re-signing players or draft picks, make the assistant coaches and coordinators give their feedback on who we need and for how long we should get them (smart feedback though). That way we can be more successfull in our draft and our cap management.

*Let us re-name a coach's name when we start a Franchise mode? For instance, Dave Wannstedt for the dolphins begins with a NEW FRANCHISE of a record 82-84....I want 0-0 with my name as the head coach so I can keep track of my lifetime franchise record with the dolphins..

*Make the grass fly out of the ground!!

*Improve players dirtiness. Example: When it's nice and sunny, players get the same dirtiness as when it's raining..That's not good. When it' raining they should be even MORE dirty..specially cuz of the mud..

*Make the weather change throughout gameplay?? Like it goes from Sunny to Rainy..?

*Add MORE plays and Improve Audibles!! Specially more plays that fake out opponents..makes the game more interesting!!

*Make players slip on RARE occasions (Ofcourse, weather dependant).

*Have opposing teams offer you deals or trades more seriously and randomly instead of just having the trading block.

*Have weekly or bi-weekly meetings with the coaching staff to review plays with the players(and yourself) to learn from the mistakes from both players and the person who plays the game (you..me).

*Improve News that comes to E-mails with pictures and/or short video clips about a specific issue, play, update..anything.(Interesting though...always have a mind of action!)

*Add the years top 10 best plays??

*Make players spit? (Comon! They are dogs out there! lol)

*Improve commentators. Don't repeat over and over again! Make them comment over plays that just happend but all diffrent..or on recent news from other games going on that day..etc.

*Allow there to be like 3-4 players to tackle the HB or something..whomever they have to tackle..

*Make fumbles more interesting..make them fight for it!!! Show the ref's coming in the open the hill of players fighting for the ball to see who has it!! Make the player that recovered the fumble run out and celebrate!!

*When QB is being pressured by the DE allow QB to release the ball faster as opponent gets closer and not choke!! Let him learn to take a hit!!

*Make the defense a little smarter. For instance, I was 4th and inches..and did the QB sneak..that was too darn easy..the computer should be aware of that and be on my A**!!!

*Make difficulty more difficult? I play Legendary Mode with the Dolphins. I have the regular roster. Lost Rickie for 5 weeks, lost Jason Taylor for the Season!! and I'm 7-3..My offense is rated 74 and defense 82. I'm still winning by a lot..last game I won 40 something to 14. Make the players have there ups and downs..there good days/quarters and there bad ones...Don't just go by ratings because in reality sum1 thats rated 100 might play like a 60 in one bad day!

*Add more catches in the air..diffrent styles..

*Improve the players to USE HANDS!!! and ARMS more to shove players, to reach for players as they run by and miss...show that they do their all to try and catch sum1.

Ok guys...that's a sneak peak on what I have to say..Expect more!!! :D

Last but not least..2k...hire me for ideas? lol j/k!
