Unfortunately no complete teams, at least not for the most part, and even
more unfortunately no NFL stadiums, team names, logos, mascots, art work,
etc. Instead players create their own city affiliations, select from a
variety of stadiums and logo packages that were created just for the game, and
use generic/substitutes throughout the game with no chance to infringe upon the
NFL's trademarks and logos.
The game plays traditional NFL style football, using traditional NFL style
rules. There's still coaches, traditional playbooks, referees and umpires
to call fouls and penalties, etc. There's still audibles, and all of the
traditions of NFL style football. Just none of the NFL to go with it.
The game is rated E/10+, meaning E for Everyone, and 10+ for an age
recommendation of 10 years and up. There's a Mild Language rating as well,
but nothing that is heard is that bad. (No worse than what would be heard
at any youth football game really). There is however the 2K Beats
Soundtrack, which may include hip hop and rap style music that may get a bit
racey for some.
The game is available on both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 platforms.
In my case I opted to snag the Xbox 360 version since it includes the ability to
score achievements as you do things in the game. The graphics are quite
similar in both versions, and anyone trying to choose between the versions on
either console would probably find that decision a toss-up (unless they were
like me and wanted to score achievements, or unless they wanted to make use of
other Xbox Live features).
Sadly the game comes with a full 'next generation' game pricetag of $59 (US)
at most locations. Not that the game isn't worth that much, but I
definitely miss the good old days when 2KSports was the underdog in the NFL
gaming arena and they fired a discount price tag shot across the bow of EA and
their Madden product.
I almost, almost snagged a dirt cheap copy of NFL 2K5 for the Playstation 2 while I was leaving EB/Gamestop with All-Pro Football in hand. That game was so smooth and so much fun compared to Madden.
I still have last seasons Madden (Hall-of-Fame edition) for the Xbox 360 and at this point I'm not planning to buy another version (this year or future versions) as the game just seems stale to me.
Same for EA's NCAA Football game. I have last year's game (2006 season) and no interest in replacing it. The game plays fine, and especially for that game where you don't get rosters made up of the real players from NCAA teams, it makes no sense to replace last year's version with more of the same thing. I'll save my money for another game that will give me something different to play
