All-Pro Football 2K8 (Xbox 360, 2007)

This game will probably appeal more to people who play online, otherwise wait until madden comes out because of the lack of a franchise mode will kill it for you.
Those of you who enjoyed 2k5 will love this title. It has improved graphics and most of the A.I. "glitches" that plaugued 2k5 have been addressed. People playing 2k5 online made a living with taking advantage of bad offensive line and defensive back A.I. not to mention the onside kick glitch and the punt/FG block timming glitch. They also toned down the ease of "trucking" multiple defenders with a powerbacks. Another thing you will not see in this newest installment of the 2k franchise is QBs running at will on you while your defenders aimlessly pick their noses. Needless to say it is alot more enjoyable to play online now without much of the cheesing that went on.
Online play is made user friendly with your ability to edit your offensive/defensive playbooks, audibles and depth charts all offline so you don't have to waste time tweeking everything everytime you play a game. People who also long to create replica jersys of their favorite teams will be happy to know that you can get very close to the real life counter parts because of the endless amount of colors and graphics available to them when you create your uniforms. There are codes online that will get you almost any teams uniform you want if you don't want to do the work yourself.
Passing is made a little more difficult because your outside receivers are offscreen and you can't pan left or right to check on them especially when you want to make sure the hot route you assigned went through properly. Your receivers still drop that "gimmie" catch with no one around them every once in awhile. Running is more challenging because defenders don't get trucked so easily. Time is drops down to 20 seconds after you chose your play so you can't call audible after audible like you could in 2k5.
