I'd first like to say that I haven't played APF 2K8 outside of the demo. I'm going to pick it up shortly though.

Would it technically be illegal for them to make an APF, with teams/players that are knock offs of the true NFL teams (for ex. Orlando Pirates - Tampa Bay Bucs), players and stadiums? On a technicality, they're not using and NFL logos, player names or stadiums... So I can't see this being a huge issue.

And also, they could have a feature where people can get rosters from other people on PSN/XBL (much like the EA Locker). And some people will be kind enough to have updated the rosters to their true NFL counterparts.

If this possible, 2K should look into this. That could help them get back into the game, and get a franchise mode into APF.

The Pittsburgh Ironmen and the Pittsburgh Steelers are pretty close if you ask me, if they did it then, they could do it again, but I'm not sure I'd like it too much, something about this totally fake league idea really does it for me. I would like it though, if 2k would release another addition of APF or, even better to me, they release an entirely fictional league, roster and all, and then put in a franchise mode. I'd love that.

There are many of these teams that resemble some in the NFL. The Chicago Beasts have blue (more like an aqua than a navy) and orange uniforms, and their team style is a great defense and run game and they have Dick Butkus at MLB.

Screw the fake names. Just go with the citys and replicate the colors of each team. Let the community do the rest.

Your about 2 years late with that suggestion tonto.

Yea, as I had said... I hadn't played the game yet. I just bought it last night.
It's ok, but the gameplay isn't nearly as tight as 2K5. Even 2K5 had a little bit to work on.

Still, I think they should replicate EVERY NFL team, and then just put in perhaps the Position and player number (if they're allowed, which I don't think they can).

See, the rest of the world and I thought the features were a bit lacking in 2k8, but the gameplay was miles ahead of 2k5, and that 2k5 was and is still ahead of every football game on the market today. The best playing football game released to date is APF and anyone who has played it finds it difficult to disagree. 2k5 did need some touching up in the gameplay department, and it was done when 2k8 was released.

APF should have been created much like College Hoops 2K8; the game had basically full customization (CAPs, rosters, teams, colors, court, mascots, cheerleaders, playbooks, etc) and a feature called 2KShare where you can upload & swap rosters, settings, franchises, etc.

2K just plain MESSED UP with how they short-changed APF.
