The "I've got APF2K8" but Jason forgot about me

Pretty much any night or weekend is good for me.  I am heading up to the farm on Sunday and coming back Tuesday so anytime after that will work.


Tried to return APF2K8 but they noticed the seal was removed and said I could get $25 store credit. I left with a grin on my face. Guess I will just have to learn to deal with my issues with the game.  Plus I hear they only plan on making this bi-annually so you won't see a version next year.  Hopefully they patch up some of the issues with the game.

They did not give me anything for the game since I kept it. I was going to return it to EB because playing defense is a PITA plus all the stuff I mentioned earlier.   Since it was opened they said I could get $25.  I payed $59.99 for it just a day before so I laughed at the offer (especially since they would be reselling it for $54.99).   Normally they will let me slip in a return on a game I have played for a day and dislike. New manager at the store thought otherwise.

I personally like playing as linebacker or a safety on defense but unless they patch the game I am just going to have to play on the d-line. You just have to see it to believe how bad it really is.  Or go to any forum and you will see a lot of people bitching about it.

I have never used Ebay or any of the online sellers.  Always thought they were too much work and with my luck I would get scammed. Probably would not hurt to setup an ebay account just in case.

The thing is the game has some real qualities to it. I thought the legends aspect would be pretty lame but in reality it creates a lot of strategy.

While your teams are limited to two (gold tier) superstars the CPU has some teams with 4 or 5. Not only will that team be tougher to beat you have to plan your strategy around what the CPU brings to the game and where they put their stars.

While the no franchise mode is a bummer you do get to try out different teams and combinations. Maybe next time I will try a star studded defense and focus most of my legends there and see if we can try out the defense wins championships mantra.

Many gameplay aspects are better in APF2K8.  Gang Tackles and tackling in general, line play (especially o-line blocking), QB animations and running the ball. Of course to me control is the biggest issue of them all and while it is fine on offense and controlling certain players on defense, this is where I really could use a patch.

Amazon is a good choice too.  We've sold books through them and have been happy.
