When EA decided to squeeze out any NFL game competition by purchasing the rights to the NFL roster many gamers felt the pain. The NFL2K series couldn't compete without having the same roster to utilize, right?
Wrong! Their going to try it again, using talent and innovation to win out against the company with the most money. So, after giving up the game for a few years they've decided to give it another go.
Visual Concepts president Greg Thomas said, "All-Pro Football 2K8 will deliver an authentic next generation gridiron experience and we are happy to give fans another choice in the football category."
Without a roster of popular players they'll be forced to invent their own or enlist the help of past players and hall of fame players. This will require individual contract signings for the rights which will be a bit more complex and tedious - it's a start!
The good news? Having an alternative choice for football allows game enthusiasts that love the 2K series and boycotter's of the Madden series to put their money in the hands of the "best franchise," not just the franchise that bullies the competition with money.
