I just did also I still have to call it in I just dont feel like waiting in the queue. Apparently it's a common problem which is why the warranty was extended to 3 years on the system.
anyone here have All Pro Football? i just rented it and after one game i don't know if i wanna go back for more. The game feels dated, it plays slow compared to madden or NCAA and it looks terrible(except for the stadiums).
Another weird thing is, at least in this first game, is that the computer isn't restricted to 2 gold, 3 silver, and 7 bronze players like you are and in this 1st game the CPU had 4 golds. Another thing is that there's 240+ players, yet i don't know who 200 of them are yet they're legends? Also, there are way too many QBs and very few defensive players, there might be more QBs in the game then defensive players which is stupid but not as stupid as having rae curruth, OJ and kory stringer in the game.
Stringer may have not died that recently(6 years ago?) but he died playing football, which makes it awkward picking him to play on my team, but Rae Curruth and OJ? they're ing murderers!! what are they doing in this game??? Maybe OJ maybe, but no way should Rae Curruth be in this game.
MS customer support sucks ass. After an automated voice tries to tell you some simple solutions that may be the problem ( unplug it, remove the hard drive and wait a minute) prepare to be on hold for about 45 minutes.
Canada's support line queue seems to be shorter -- I only had to wait 5 minutes on hold.
I've got to say, I hadn't seen Rae Carruth in there.
I guess when you think about it, there had to have been some guys who chose not to license their name to APF, so they had to get who they could and went with people who you'd know (whether for football ability or capital crimes).
To me, it's a good football game. If you're just looking to play a game without the fluff, APF's a good choice. What I noticed about the extra star players my opponents have had so far (I've played four games) are that they tend to be like every opponent in every off-brand football game in the last 20 years - built on one or two strengths with little care towards the others.
When I chose my team, I went with a balanced patch of stars. I'm not going to fire up my 360 right now to check, but I think the only position I went with more than one star at was LB.
To beat each opponent, you will have to use different playcalls and stars. One game, I opened up my passing attack (Joe Montana) and I was able to get a lot of good catches and route running from two WRs that I'd never heard of (or might have barely). In the next game, I ran like nuts with Walter Payton.
Like I said, though, I think it's point this year is a new edition of the 2K series that's a good football game to play. , I loved firing it up and hearing Dan Stevens and Peter O'Keefe calling the game. I love those guys. This game gives those upset at EA Sports and their development of the Madden series a new game to call their own - especially with customization of jerseys, etc. - while 2K Sports finds a way to tweak their game for next season.
I think it'd probably do better if its MSRP was $10 less, though.
Another thing I will give to APF, the AI is great. It's tough to keep running the same plays without the AI catching up to it and they don't make many mistakes. The first three games I played were tight all the way through until I won with under a minute (the last game was a blowout victory, though). I also give credit to the animations and environment interaction. Even at the full camera (all the players lined up), you can see rain drops reacting as they hit helmets. Nice touch.
I also want to applaud The Bigs.
Damn, that game is fun. Flat out fun.
All I remember about APF 2K8 was that I saw a video that had OJ Simpson running for a team called the Assassins...that just didn't seem right
Good point.
That was a pretty sloppy job for an assassin.
I have to admit, I HATE baseball, but that game looks like fun. I might rent the Wii version to see if it utilizes the motion control.
I feel so old-fashioned. I'm still playing PSX games on a PS2. Ah, well. Xenogears is a better RPG than most of the next-gen ones.
APF feels a little weird at first, and the graphics don't look so great, but you'll get used to it. It's a lot more challenging than playing the exact same NCAA and Madden games every single year (INT-fests, robotic looking players, horrible atmosphere, horrible online, etc...). So far in APF, i've experienced none of that. You actually have to choose your next play wisely and it's very rewarding getting an INT, or even breaking a good run.
APF was just not my cup of tea i guess, i played through a season and just didn't get what was so great about the gameplay. Overall the game pace was WAY to slow, i was actually bored at times waiting for the offense to pick a play.
But 2 things killed the game for me, the kicking game. What re came up with this? I lost a couple games on missed extra points WTF? and kicking many kickoffs out of bounds. There's no meter and the game doesn't tell you what you're doing wrong so i had no idea what i was supposed to do. It reminded me of the free throw mechanic from NBA live 07 where you pull the right stick back and then push to forward, it's awkward and stupid.
The worst thing though was watching barry sanders do the dirty bird, what. the. ?
RE4 is so much better on the Wii, the motion control almost makes it too easy, breeze through chapters with 85% hit rate. Nothing good for the Wii is coming soon, not suprisingly all the good stuff coming up (ssb, mario, metroid) are all 1st party les.
^For those that are interested in NCAA 08, picked up my copy last Tuesday and have already played one full season on dynasty mode and recently began my second season.
The game runs at 60fps, and the graphics/animations are top notch. Gameplay is very smooth and there are some really well done gang tackling animations as well as actions while running/catching the ball.
Recruiting mode is insane! Very deep with more features than any previous les. And you've really got to think about who you want to spend time on recruiting during both in-season and off-season recruiting. , I spent almost 3 hours during the off-season just recruiting and putting together my class of 18 players. It's also much more realistic, no longer can I go out and get 8-9 five star players just because I'm playing with UT, you've got to earn those 5 star guys, very rewarding when you get them.
My only major gripe with the game is the passing game. You'll definitely have to turn down the AI slider for pass interceptions and knockdowns, if not you'll be getting picked right and left, also much harder to complete deep routes. To get those you usually have to pump fake and then go deep (provided your O line can sustain protection).
Overall, the best NCAA game I've played so far, very addictive and fun to play. I guess I'd give it about a 8.8 or 8.9 on a scale of 10. Still some tweaks they can make for next year's version.
That's something I didn't like about the demo - the AI was getting way too many interceptions ... I feel I'm better off waiting for Madden since college football isn't big on my register. The past few years, I've enjoyed the NCAA2k series over Madden, but this year didn't do it for me.
^Agree, but once you turn down the sliders for the Al on knockdowns and int's it becomes ok to deal with. You still have to watch your passing lanes, but it's more realistic in terms of making throws and completing passes.
Half-Life 2 Mod
Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat
Brutally realistic. No HUD, no crosshairs, no mini-maps. 2 shots, youre dead no matter where youre hit. Brutally realistic (worth saying twice).
The best thing about the Wii is that Manhunt 2 is coming out soon and you have to imitate the executions...
If anyone has NCAA 2008 on PS2, my name is Thunder DH online if you want a game
is manhunt 2 coming out for the ps3
Resident Evil 5 looks like it will blow my mind. Resident Evil 4 was really good I was worried that they wouldn't be able to top it (The Resident Evil Series always has this problem) but now I'm itching to get my hands on this game!
Yeah the trailer for 5 looks good, but I havent played since 2 where are they on the story?
