TXup92 G I know I’m a dreamer and I am just thinking out loud but if EA was really smart they would try to track down all the developers for virtual concepts and ask them to develop the ultimate football game of all time. Not only would they have the reputation rejuvenated I think they would gain a lot of respect from their fans they lost not To mention I think the game would sell like crazy
@@GisherJohn24 EA won't even bother doing that because they know they don't have to. Fanboys are convinced that the game is great and there's no competition at the moment. I wish we could go back to when ANY company could make a football game, there were so many options. Ppl nowadays just want 1 company making a game.
@@kamo7923 Unfortunately EA is a giant monopoly who will hog the nfl license for a while. And you’re right, they will continue to release straight garbage because they make a shit ton from MUT and don’t think they need to change much. It’s a shame we can’t have a real simulation NFL game.
Lol on what do you base that? Defense actually works if you know how to play in mad 21. I dont see anyone making any defensive plays in this other than bogus strip sacks lol
This is ridiculous for a game to have came out when I was in middle school, to be more advanced than a game that is in 2018. It's the little things that make this one of the greatest football games ever. I just wish it was a regular nfl game instead of all pro. Only if they could remaster it so it could be on the next gen consoles.
It’s 2020 now and this is still FAR more advanced than any football game I’ve EVER played... 12 years and still can’t make a better game 😂😂 I hate corporations .. just make a good game !!!
10:36 is absolutely incredible! Look at these animations! The way the defensive lineman stumbles before the late QB hit, and then 92 trips over them both! Outstanding animations!
@@averydarrenkamp8102 I don’t think you realise just how scripted Madden 21 is with it’s animations. The SECOND that Quarterback runs past those defenders in that if that were Madden they would’ve locked onto him.
holy shit the way shannon sharpe adjusted himself for the ball>>>, the pocket was so good, the blocking, the pocket maneuver, the throw, the arch, the everything. That was 100000x better then anything from madden.
The ball trajectory and placement in this game to this day is insane and unmatched. And the amount of animations was crazy multiple animations for similar situations.
10:09 is why this is the most realistic football game to date. no other football game conveys the weight of players like that, the movements, the fluidity. its so far advanced to anything EA has EVER done. It's crazy man and it's a shame we can't get another 2k football game
@@luisr109888 Maximum football, Axis, older Madden’s and NCAAs, APF, you have plenty of options. You don’t have a football kick. You have a “I want the newest thing and I want it now” kick.
This was my last year buying madden. I just can’t keep giving them my hard earned money just to be disappointed. I’ll wait for 2k football to drop again.
What I love is the receivers always know where to plant there feet inbounds like they do in real life! Plus that passes are more realistic damn madden step your game up!!!
This may be 3 years later. But it’s so impressive to watch a game be so ahead of its time. These highlights are mesmerizing and feel so much more like real football
Even look at the crowd animations... Like on the deep ball, they all jump out of their seats as its going through the air... Not like, default TD reaction... They're out of the seats as the ball is flying because they know it's something big... You also see them uncross their legs and stuff to stand up
This game is the most perfect symbol of EA's greed. Instead of actually competing and making a good game, they just took a shitload of money and bought a license to make exclusive games. It's depressing.
Madden can’t replicate these beautiful animations in their wildest dreams. So sad to think of what could have been if EA and NFL weren’t so greedy. Madden 2001 is the same as Madden 2021.
Look at how the lineman actually hook and grapple wayyy better tho the running animation looks stiff... I could only imagine what type of nfl2k20 game that they could make.. Ea suck for holding that monopoly stuff... It prolly would have old school teams too.. Like 94 niners, 95cowboys, 92bills, like they do with nba 2k with legend teams... Would be epic. 😎😎
Everything about the quarterback looks 10x more real then madden 20 no cap, but so does everything too lmaoo just the Qb doesn’t look robotic and it’s pleasant to watch
The Ickey shuffle and Payton kick are such nice details. Truly, this game still feels more like football than any other game I've ever played personally. It might not always look perfect in motion and considering it's as old as it is, that's understandable. But to feel this game, it's like no other football game. The physics, momentum and so many small details are accounted for so well and it just feels like no other football game. So much detail even the smallest ones. You truly can tell it was made by people who love football and with a lot of football experience on the team that made it.
The detail I'm noticing the most in these clips are the players eyes. They are ALL looking at the football! The way Shannon Sharpe adjust mid run to see the ball before his catch was breathtaking! God damn this footage is great!
Everything about this looks so much more realistic. The animations look more natural, but to me what really stands out for me is the lighting and design of the player models. So much better than the sterile look of the Madden games!
Sniff I almost shed a tear. Great job customizing the uniforms BTW. I was able to tell exactly what teams within 2-3 seconds. 2k seems to be investing in mobile gaming (ie nba 2k mobile). I'd love an "APF 2k Mobile" for ios and Android, with external controller support!!
This gameplay is so fluid. Barely any clipping or canned animations at all. EA makes billions and yet they can’t make something that closely resembles this?? Smh.
I am genuinely impressed by how smooth this game seems in comparison to Madden, even though I am seeing it for the first time in my life. Did I really witness Randall Cunningham sprint for the first down and extend his arm? It didn't even appear as an animation but like some type of awareness attribute element, unlike Madden. It appears like you have total control over your character, just like when you play Pacman, as the pocket presence also looks amazing. This coding framework is way ahead of it's time. Even the O line play appears natural and seamless, whenever a linemen is beat they still chase in attempt to continue blocking, they don't do that in madden, in madden the o line are cones painted with set nfl player likeness tagged with timing algorithm structure, in other words the o line men don't matter that much, they didn't even start factoring in weight and physics until like madden 22 series x/s, which is sad. The ball's trajectory is quite realistic. Nobody has superpowers in this game, in contrast to madden, players can respond quickly to a throw using EA's BS deep out zone abilities. "lurk artist BS" and there is terrible ball trajectory, guys can pick off 20 yard post routes 5 yards from the line of scrimmage. doesn't make any sense, which tells us their 3D spatial elements are off, the ball is being thrown like a dart... shits painful to know that EA's development team isn't very talented. They must be the mcdonalds of licensed sports gaming just hiring anyone.
Can we all just take a second and show appreciation for this players ability to set his feet before throwing the ball? Great job on the gameplay! This shit is amazing looking. Nothing comes close to this from the last 15 years. Wow.
In no way shape or form is this game perfect but it is the closest we’ve ever been to simulation football and that’s why still to this day I play this game
2k needs to make another football game. I really miss their football games. Would be awesome if they made a college football game and something like a NFL game. I know EA still has the NFL rights. Come on 2K!!!
This game was so epic the mechanics were unreal for its time if 2k football came out it would easily sell more than Ea You could always get a let hit penalty if you wanted too lmao I would take heads off and oj Simpson was a magic weapon
I lost 25 pounds because I refused to stay inside and play madden anymore. If 2K brings back a realist football game like this I wouldn’t even care if I became obese I would be the happiest guy in the world
That was dope. I love this game like no other. Why is a football game on the XBOX 360 better than a football game on PS4 or XBOX One? Ridiculous. EA needs to get their shit together. Their current product is straight up garbage.
Man I remember The Nigerian Nightmare Christian Okoye was an absolute beast for a bronze star player. I used to make a team with Ken Stabler and Mike Ditka, lots of silver defense and o linemen, and fill in with bronze. But Okoye just wouldn't go down it seemed in this game. Really fun and underrated game. Great footage and remakes of teams, obvious labor of love.
I'm in tears right now at the mechanics of this game... Did u see that strip sack at 1:58. Perfectly executed meanwhile Madden hasn't even mastered something as simple as punting snaps going wrong, or centers fumbling the snap once in a while.... THAT HAPPENS IN REAL FOOTBALL🙃
All-Pro Football 2K8 is an awesome game, but I think it's funny how everyone is in love with it now but NO ONE cared about it back when it first came out!
I was obsessed with it when it came out. Lol had it for PS3 and 360 so I could play at both households. Spent countless hours playing this over Madden.
I dont even remember the game being marketed and came across it at gamestop like 4 years after it had come out. Was only 5 bucks so I picked it up. 5 dollars wasn't a lost if the game was trash. Game didn't leave my system for the next year lol. Kinda wish I still had my PS3 just for the and Fighr Night Champion.
Can’t imagine where 2k would be with the technology they have available now what their football game may be like .. too bad they lost the build of this game soo if they get a chance to make an NFL game again they will start from scratch
One thing I would love to see, have more than two gold players on my team. It's hard to recreate the San Fransisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts when the majority of the players are in Gold.
If they made this game today on ps4 with all the latest engines and technology. BEST SPORTS GAME IN HISTORY. Cause this game is the best football game ever and it’s 11 years old.
In madden, players do not catch deep lob passes over the shoulder like in real football, the instead jump in the air causing them to drop the ball with slight contact. I guess this just makes up for the fact that agaisnt a cpu the receiver will beat the corner almost every time. This doesnt allear to happen in this game. If a player has the risk of getting slammed to the ground like a man covered by kam chanceller, theyre going to catch is over the shoulder. If the guy has seperation, hes gonna catch the ball the easiest way he can. This game is awesome because of how many things they can get right
Still watching this video in 2022 hoping this new 2k football game in 2023-2024 has anywhere close to this much detail. Please bring good football gaming back 💯💯
I am. I don't even play Madden anymore well maybe NCAA 14. Been playing 2K8 off and on, now exclusively since 2021. I never had an instruction book so I am still constantly learning things about the game I dig it. Only thing is it's on PS3 I wish it were upgraded to at least PS4. Great football game. The best. I grew up playing with the little plastic teams on that vibrating electric football field. Lol. So I'm a appreciative of 2K8 😊
Imagine this game engine updated to current gen (PS5) with actual NFL rosters. This game is 15 years old and is still better simulation than garbage Madden
Looking at all that room to run i would've taken of if i was playing with that Dallas team the line play is realistic and the quarterback animations are spot on great game imagine if 2k had the license still
I swear if madden makes a game remotely close to all pro football it would be one of the best football games because this game right here has way better animations, throwing animations is perfect and realistic,tackling, the way they carry the ball it’s all realistic and perfect
We have a game store where a live that is pretty much just older games 360 and before and I’m definitely pulling up there tomorrow and hoping they have it. I’ve never played this before but I’m itching to try it
This is still the greatest sports game of all time wow it's just so damn smooth and satisfying why can't they just do another one who cares if they can't use the NFL license let them people do that and make there own roster please 2k please
would you be into helping me get this achievement "We are the Champions" so i get get the 5 abilities for my gold guys for xbox? need to win a league or tourny.
Compared to Madden 08 on 360 and PS3. This game was Amazing. Felt more like real football, of course without the cartoon look to it, but the smith throwing motion and kicking mechanic. I’m gonna buy 2k football when it finally comes out sometime in the near future
I've been playing a lot of the old maddens lately. Honestly, Madden's gameplay has always been garbage. The franchise mode was amazing in the PS2 and early PS3 era, but after that Madden became straight garbage.
@@Yeomannn For some reason, NCAA Football seemed to transfer much better to the Xbox 360/PS3 era than Madden did. 2K was all ready to make that transition, had they been able to keep making NFL games
I really wish 2k made a simulation nfl game... or at least made their own teams, and their own names. Some kind of player simulator, and release a set of specially made players each year
This game is utter skunk and a travesty: where are the product placements? Where are the invasive microtransactions? Where are the glitches and the bugs? Where are the stiff and uncoordinated animations? Where are the botched launches (with pre order bonuses not registering and kicking you out) and never ending patches? Where are the snarky developers casting aspersions on fans saying 2 is better than 1? Where are the roster typos and banners with the wrong year? I tell ya, this game is missing all those "features", so it's not good :D
It’s so embarrassing to watch this and then go and play Madden. It just shows the lack of care and passion EA has for football. They only care about the revenue it brings them.
There is NO COMPETITION in the sim football genre!! These videos are like heroin to the APF 2k8 itchy fiend that I am. Makes me wanna fire up the 360. THIS IS FOOTBALL GREAT HIGHLIGHTS
@@JDragonweezy they don't need a license do the same thing they did here and let us the community make the custom rosters not that hard to do honestly I used to do it every year with NCAA football
@@Twigg4075 I thought about it alot. What I came up with is ditch the legends for franchise and stick with generics. However keep the tier system on guys. Could be randomly generated for each different franchise you start. For example maybe in one iteration the Iron Men have a great D but mediocre passing game.
And to think, NO ONE liked this game back when it first came out lol! Had this game included a deep franchise mode, it would have been the absolute greatest sports video game ever created!
Make sure to check out my Twitter for daily uploads of APF 2k8. mobile.twitter.com/2k_football_now?lang=en

Who’s here after Madden 21 disappoints yet again
First Madden I bought in like 10 years straight trash. I still play APF 2K8 til this day
Lol on what do you base that? Defense actually works if you know how to play in mad 21. I dont see anyone making any defensive plays in this other than bogus strip sacks lol

Here after Madden 22 disappoints again

This and 2k5 are the reason my 360 is still hooked up.
Same here!!!!
Dilly dilly 🍻
My first time trying this today. Lol
Same!
NFL 2k5 is backwards compatible on 360?
The way they wind up on throws...the way the punter looked up xuz he knew the ball was sailing over head...wow

Madden is 11 years behind and counting, with no catching up in sight.
Dude that's so true. Madden is dead compare to this. Take two really don't what they have in this game. Masterpiece. And i mean Madden 19

9:58 u will never see a Pocket Escape like this in madden 20.
I promise u
Exactly! And I do this most of the time...and when I fail it's still a good game clip because of how realistic the tackle looks.
True, in Madden 21 you would have been sucked into a sack animation.
What are you talking about? You have to to have a mobile quarterback to escape those bud, you probably out here tryna scramble with Drew breese

I'm still here, thinking how is possible that in 2021 we are playing game like Madden 21, while in 2008 there was game like this.
If you went back in time and told people this, they probably wouldn't believe you. Especially if you told them this back in the 90s

Notice how players aren’t going through each other
And, they aren't attracted like magnets once an animation sequence starts
The crowd stood up when he threw the bomb in the first few minutes smdh. Every last video I watch about this topic shows something different.

I grew up playing with the little plastic teams on that vibrating electric football field. Lol. So I'm a appreciative of 2K8 😊
Even the field of play is correct right distance for the body types that one thing that everybody is over looking!
Yeah madden's specs and dimensions are booty
Its like pes but with football how are 11 year old animations better than the ones in madden 19 smh
Imagine this game engine updated to current gen (PS5) with actual NFL rosters. This game is 15 years old and is still better simulation than garbage Madden
1:48 ofc its the browns lol
Looking at all that room to run i would've taken of if i was playing with that Dallas team the line play is realistic and the quarterback animations are spot on great game imagine if 2k had the license still
If you've only ever played madden, you'll never know the true feeling of what a football game could be.
I swear if madden makes a game remotely close to all pro football it would be one of the best football games because this game right here has way better animations, throwing animations is perfect and realistic,tackling, the way they carry the ball it’s all realistic and perfect
EA/Madden is incapable of doing so.
9:58 lightyears ahead of madden, and this game is from 2007. unbelievable.
Bruh the awareness level of the QB man madden can't even do this🤦
We have a game store where a live that is pretty much just older games 360 and before and I’m definitely pulling up there tomorrow and hoping they have it. I’ve never played this before but I’m itching to try it
I bought this game about a year ago on Xbox 360 and honestly play this game more than my madden 20 on ps4 no lie
Legit golden year with the best football game and the best madden all in 1 year
NFL 2K IS BACK BABYYYY!!!
ea can't replicate any of this 12 years later with a much bigger budget. sad.
It upsets me knowing there's a game like madden out that cheats us out of a gaming experience like this.. Bring back 2k football already!!
This is still the greatest sports game of all time wow it's just so damn smooth and satisfying why can't they just do another one who cares if they can't use the NFL license let them people do that and make there own roster please 2k please
would you be into helping me get this achievement "We are the Champions" so i get get the 5 abilities for my gold guys for xbox? need to win a league or tourny.
@@bobertislam69 i dont have it I have a ps4
Compared to Madden 08 on 360 and PS3. This game was Amazing. Felt more like real football, of course without the cartoon look to it, but the smith throwing motion and kicking mechanic. I’m gonna buy 2k football when it finally comes out sometime in the near future
I've been playing a lot of the old maddens lately. Honestly, Madden's gameplay has always been garbage. The franchise mode was amazing in the PS2 and early PS3 era, but after that Madden became straight garbage.
@@Yeomannn For some reason, NCAA Football seemed to transfer much better to the Xbox 360/PS3 era than Madden did. 2K was all ready to make that transition, had they been able to keep making NFL games
I really wish 2k made a simulation nfl game... or at least made their own teams, and their own names. Some kind of player simulator, and release a set of specially made players each year
I wish this on newer consoles. If it was i would buy it without a doubt
This game is utter skunk and a travesty: where are the product placements? Where are the invasive microtransactions? Where are the glitches and the bugs? Where are the stiff and uncoordinated animations? Where are the botched launches (with pre order bonuses not registering and kicking you out) and never ending patches? Where are the snarky developers casting aspersions on fans saying 2 is better than 1? Where are the roster typos and banners with the wrong year? I tell ya, this game is missing all those "features", so it's not good :D
And Madden disappoints yet again
this video is extremely satisfying
It's..just..so beautiful. *sniffles*
It’s so embarrassing to watch this and then go and play Madden. It just shows the lack of care and passion EA has for football. They only care about the revenue it brings them.
There is NO COMPETITION in the sim football genre!!
These videos are like heroin to the APF 2k8 itchy fiend that I am.
Makes me wanna fire up the 360.
THIS IS FOOTBALL
GREAT HIGHLIGHTS
Here after Madden 22.
1:48 U will never se this in Madden. NEVER!!!
This game actually looks fun
Why won't 2k listen to us and make a new football game? :( This gameplay makes me want to cryyy
Bc they don't have the rights
Dainq true but who would play a game with make believe players
@@JDragonweezy Just get retired players just like this one?
truedisaster2016 and someone like me(masses) wouldn’t buy it unfortunately
@@JDragonweezy they don't need a license do the same thing they did here and let us the community make the custom rosters not that hard to do honestly I used to do it every year with NCAA football
Nothing like real football. For a start there is another team on the field wearing black and white striped jerseys. Surely that’s not right
Closer than the modern day games we have.
How can EA look at this and think their game is as good as it can be
This and ESPN Football look like the best games ever created.
The only thing that I thought was missing from this game was a weekly wrap up show like 2K5 had.
Twigg4075 yeah presentation and features took a step back from 2k5, but on field gameplay to a huge step forward.
@@2kFootballNow Yeah, if it had a wrap up show and also a franchise mode it would probably be the perfect football game.
needed a franchise mode.
@@Yeomannn Great point, that too.
Although I don't know how that would work with the legends players?
@@Twigg4075 I thought about it alot. What I came up with is ditch the legends for franchise and stick with generics. However keep the tier system on guys. Could be randomly generated for each different franchise you start. For example maybe in one iteration the Iron Men have a great D but mediocre passing game.
And to think, NO ONE liked this game back when it first came out lol! Had this game included a deep franchise mode, it would have been the absolute greatest sports video game ever created!
