Introduction

While EAÓs Madden franchise has taken the NFL license and run

with it, 2k Sports was left to deal with the vacuum their competitionÓs

exclusivity left. In the end, there appeared to be very little left, at

least until the idea was sprung on someone that using ex-NFL

players would be an interesting route to take. And so All-Pro

Football 2k8 was born, a game with a whole slew of ex-NFL all-

stars. By creating your own team with these players under the

moniker of fictional team names in a completely farcical league full

of outrageous stadiums and interesting home city choices, you can

play an NFL-style season full of some of the best football players in

football history without being tied to the so-called NFL form.

Some may consider this a positive, and others a negative.

Regardless, All-Pro Football 2k8 offers a lot of that Madden simply

doesnÓt, and thatÓs why weÓre here at IGN Guides - to help you out.

The Football 101, Offense and Defense sections of the guide cover

the essentials of American football (also known as real football),

while the Choosing Your Team section will run down the unique

statistics in the game, how to choose your own teams, and even our

own choice for the perfect team.

In this All-Pro Football 2k8 strategy guide, you'll find:

BASICS // All things elementary.

FOOTBALL 101 // Keys to help you understand the game of football.

OFFENSE // A novice's guide to offense.

DEFENSE // Fundamentals to stopping the pass and run.

CHOOSING YOUR TEAM // The meat of the guide - how to choose the perfect team.

Basics

Even without the NFL license, All-Pro Football 2k8 proves to be an intensely detailed and stimulating football experience

that essentially mimics NFL rules. For more information on the game of football itself, you should refer to the Football

101 section of this very guide. For information and tips on picking your team, you should check out the Choosing Your

Team section of the guide. Otherwise, read on for information on how to navigate your way through the game with ease.

Quick Game

After choosing your team or loading one youÓve already created (both of which are covered in the aforementioned

Choosing Your Team section of this guide), youÓll be greeted with the Quick Game option. Generally, this is the option

youÓll use most often if youÓre trying out a new roster, want to play a (wait for it) quick game, or want to play against a

friend. Remember that if playing outside of a league, the makeup of opposing teams will generally be randomized. YouÓll

face some strong teams, some weak teams, and some standard teams. League play, since the teams will be more

ultimately determined, will have a more concrete roster makeup from team to team.

Remember that, if you so choose, you can alter the variables of a quick game, including the stadium played in, the

difficulty of the CPU (if youÓre playing a one player game), the length of a quarter, the time of day, and the weather.

Definitely explore these options since they will make the game more interesting.

Teams

By choosing this option, you open yourself up to many more options that you can deal with. The Teams option allows

you to create a new team (probably some of the most fun you can have in the game), as well as manage created teams,

and view the rosters of created teams and default squads alike. Since the team names and makeups are made up and

completely randomized, itÓs best to view your competition first hand when you can, to see what the CPU has created for

you and the teams surrounding you.

While in the Teams section, you can also create brand new players to your liking, and edit any players youÓve already

created. Player Abilities, which we cover in-depth in the Choosing Your Team section of the guide, can also be viewed

here. Remember that each position has specific Player Abilities that you should explore, as some are definitely more

useful than others.

Season

Part of the fun of playing any sports game, especially when youÓre by your lonesome, is playing through a season. In the

fictional world of All-Pro Football 2k8, the seasons are made up of fictional teams playing other fictional teams with

rosters that are a hodgepodge of real ex-NFL all-star talent and fictional characters that will make up the rest of your

squad. You can save multiple seasons playing as multiple teams at once so you can try out different stuff with different

teams, or start a new season at any time, all via this menu option.

Practice

If you want to practice your skills, then you neednÓt look any further than the Practice option, which will allow you to try

out a plethora of plays and skills in order to get comfortable with the gameÓs feel and control scheme, which are in many

ways a complete contrast to the Madden feel and scheme that many gamers will otherwise be comfortable with during

2kÓs football hiatus.

Options

This section, not surprisingly, allows you to control the game options. This includes things like quarter length, play

calling, game speed and things of that nature (so you can make your games as NFL-like or non-NFL-like as you want).

This also includes other options such as CPU difficulty and presentations, as well as what penalties will and wonÓt be

called, and yes indeed, control options as well. The latter is especially important to explore to make your controller as

comfortable as you can make it for your style of play. Your button preferences are key to in-game playability!

Features

If you want to see all of the cool extras 2k has put into the game for you, then the Features section is the place to go.

You can listen to all in-game music, watch some videos, check out the trophies youÓve won, and more. The coolest part

of this section, however, is by far the Celebration Maker. In the real NFL, excessive celebration is frowned upon. But in

the fictional world of All-Pro Football 2k8, excessive celebration is applauded and encouraged. Why not check out what

special celebrations you can put together to really rub it in to the other team?

Xbox Live

Of course, no sports game in the nextgen would be complete without the option to play online, and by selecting the Xbox

Live option, you can do just that.

Football 101

Welcome to the "Football 101" part of the guide. This section of the guide covers the basic aspects of the game of

football itself, in case you may find yourself lost or confused on certain aspects of playing the game. Most All-Pro

Football 2k8 players can skip this part; this is simply a refresher course for those unfamiliar with the game of football, or

who have been away from it for a while. Hey, we can't all know everything!

Positions

Flow

One of the most confusing parts of the game of football is learning all of the positions on both the offensive and

defensive sides of the ball, and knowing exactly what that person does. Below is a grid of the offensive and defensive

(and the often-overlooked special teams) positions and a brief overview of what each position does/is expected to do.

Please Note: The position explanations are brief. They are simply to give you an idea of what each player generally

does. It is by no means a complete, in-depth positional reference.
