At the least, maybe we can use their upcoming file as a base to edit from and make changes.

I would be down with that. I have a file I'm currently working on and would love to get some thoughts/help but I want to wait to see how accurate the file is from ratesports before I go all in.

Man just found one of the GS near me had this for $2 and I had to (re)buy it. This time for PS3 though. I was never any good, but I loved making my own teams and doing the 2 controller thing to play my other CAT's.

Now all I need is some good sliders if anyone knows of any let me know.

I really want to make my Warren Moon led RnS/Spread Killer Bees team that I actually played online with back in the day despite getting my *** handed to me.

The beauty of this game...and 2k5 as well... lies simply in the player interactions and "suddeness" of the animations. 2k/VC managed to re-create "explosiveness"....a vital component of football. Earl Campbell's runs are a thing of beauty...and they exemplify what I'm talking about.

I finally got this game today after searching for it . What a difference it plays like real football. Making teams is pretty cool also . And the price $3 included a 1 yr coverage fee is just unreal. I been just messing with it played a few games 13min qtrs trying to get sim type stats and total plays have ranged from 114-118. On Allpro. I will try a season once i get used to the game.

i dusted this game off recently and created 8 usfl/afl teams (real cities/team names/close-to-real logos/colors/uniforms)-4 each. i'm pretty happy with what i came up with. chicago rush (mostly former bears players in the game), jacksonville bulls (former usfl-steve young and reggie white), philadelphia stars (former usfl-herschel walker cap and bobby hebert), dallas desperados (mostly former cowboy players in the game and michael irvin cap), houston gamblers (former usfl-jim kelly cap-he did play on this team), orlando renegades, cleveland gladiators and memphis pharaohs. i'm from chicago and a fan of the chicago blitz too, but no team name in the game or close logo-ugh), so the chicago rush will have to do.

2k, if you are listening, i think the usfl is coming back soon.....so if you could create a usfl-licensed game, that would be really great. or heck, even an afl-licensed game will do.

Only thing that kills me about ratesports release is when playing the cpu you see the Lions run a 3-4 or something.

More 2K8 hex releases the better. I'll download 'em all.

I played a game between the Americans (ME) and RedDogs (CPU) lost 9-7 what a defensive battle . I tried this time playing on Legend . Total plays were 115. i may increase to 14 minutes per game instead of 13 due to the fact there are normally 120-130 plays for a simulation type stats game. Americans Aikman 23-35-211-1td-1int, Rushing i couldnt run on them Payton 19-19 i know terrible haha. Receiving Payton 8-37, Maynard 7-79-1td, Clark 4-57, Defense 3 Sacks, For the RedDogs (CPU) Landry 13-28-105-0 td-0Int , Rushing Warner 30-79, Landry 3-18, Receiving Lavelli 3-35, Watts 3-29, Stecker 2-16 Defense 4 Sacks 1 Int . I have already seen some penalties in this game that i could only dream about in madden .

Getting the ineligible man downfield penalty if you hold the ball too long on screens is great for balancing out those plays.

They are a bit overpowered in EA football games because the QB can drop back forever without fear of his linemen ever getting called for a penalty.

In general, timing is just a huge part of all pass plays in 2K8, whereas in the EA games, the QB can pretty much throw the ball whenever he wants anytime during a play and have good results.
