Football fans everywhere let out a massive cheer as Microsoft rolled out the latest Backwards Compatibility list for the Xbox 360 and at long last, ESPN NFL 2K5 made the list. That's right, the game that is, in my opinion, still the best football game out there is now playable on the Xbox 360.
Today's update list included quite a few other titles people have been pining for, I'm just overjoyed (as you can obviously tell) that at long last 2K5 has arrived on the 360. Now to wait for people to figure out how to transfer roster updates over…

Yes, we’re focusing on All Pro Football 2K8 yet again today. Gamespot has posted another preview of the game in which they take a closer look at the special abilities players can have in the game. If you’re a little confused as to what that means, let me explain; In addition to the usual stats all players have, the “Legendary” players all have special attributes that are used to make them play more like they did during their NFL careers. For example, a player that was king of the late-game comeback may have the “4th quarter comeback ability” – which increases all that players stats during the 4th quarter. It’s one of the little things that 2K Sports is doing to try and make the title stand out.
Now that you know what the special attributes are all about, let’s take a look at the full list of them as per Gamespot;
- Signal Stealer — Press X with our QB or defender to try to steal your opponent’s plays.
- Scrambler — QB is talented at throwing the ball out of the pocket.

- Bump Buster — Player is talented at beating bump and run coverage.
- Cutback Ability — Player is quick out of cuts.

Given the amount of coverage All Pro Football 2K8 has been getting on this site compared to other games, you’ve probably realized that I was a big fan of the 2K series of football games back in the days before Electronic Arts grabbed the exclusive NFL rights. For those of us who were devoted 2K players, it’s been rough going over the last few years. Even with player created custom rosters for ESPN NFL2K5’s franchise mode, the lack of any updated online rosters has been a killer. I’ll admit that I finally stopped playing the 2K series last year when the last of my friends left 2K behind and entered Madden country. It wasn’t a move I was happy making, but sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.
It’s because of the above that I’m really excited about 2K Sports getting back into football with All Pro Football 2K8. Sure, it’s not an NFL football game, but it’s almost like fantasy football – which can be just as rewarding, especially for those of us who don’t root for a NFL powerhouse team. More importantly, 2K seems to be taking a unique look at football games while making the most out of the lack of any kind of official license. From the completely customizable uniforms to the intricate stadiums to the way each “Legendary” player is given special skills based on their actual NFL exploits, All Pro Football is certainly pulling out the stops to try and convince gamers that they don’t need the NFL name to enjoy a game of football.
Now, if you remember the last time we took a look at APF2K8, you may recall that I voiced some concerns about the way some of the footage shown looked. Well, the second trailer for the game has been released, and other than one or two animations, the game is looking pretty solid graphically. Don’t take my word for it – check out the video below;
All Pro Football 2K8 is currently slated to release for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on July 16th, 2007.

2K Sports has finally given us our first look at All Pro Football 2K8 in action, and I’ve got to say, from what I’ve seen in the video you’re about to watch, it appears to be a mixed bag as far as quality goes. There are moments when the trailer makes you think the game will have all the magic we’ve come to expect from the 2K Football series, and then there are times where you’d swear that NFL2K5 looked better.
The true determining factor will be how the game looks from the standard play screens rather than the apparent in-game replay scenes we’re treated to here. Regardless of what I may have seen that disappointed me in this video, I still have high hopes for All Pro Football 2K8 – as I’m sure 2K Sports does. One thing I do feel the need to note here is that I believe that 2K is only going to get one chance to get it right with APF2K8 – if the first game in the series is a letdown, I really can’t see people coming back for a second helping anytime soon.
All Pro Football 2K8 is scheduled to be released later this summer on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Gamespot is reporting that the NHL has signed non-exclusive, multi-year licensing deals with both Electronic Arts and 2K Sports, eliminating the possibility of a repeat of the battles for exclusivity seen with both Major League Baseball and the National Football League.
It had been reported late last year that EA had scooped up the exclusive player name rights from the NHLPA, but that the NHL refused to license their end of the game unless 2K Sports was cut in on the NHLPA deal. For those unaware of how the system works, the NHL holds the licensing rights to the teams, logos, arenas and uniforms while the NHLPA holds the rights to the players themselves. The NHL released the following statement following the signing of the current licensing deals;
“NHL fans and consumers want more choices and extending our relationships with EA Sports and 2K Sports offers them the ability to choose the quality games they want to play,” -Brian Jennings, NHL Senior VP of Consumer Product Marketing
I can’t begin to tell you how happy this makes me, not because I love hockey, but because someone finally stood up for the fans. Apparently the NHL gets it and doesn’t want to see the loss of any momentum they’ve gained with fans following the labor issues of the previous season. We’ve all seen what the exclusivity agreements in both football and baseball have wrought so far, and it hasn’t been pretty. Simply put, when you’ve got to beat the other guy, you try harder. Take that away, and you wind up with lackluster, sloppy titles. Kudos to the NHL for a job well done.
Check out the Gamespot article here and rejoice that at least one sport will remain competitive in the gaming arena for years to come.

I can’t begin to tell you how happy this makes me, not because I love hockey, but because someone finally stood up for the fans. Apparently the NHL gets it and doesn’t want to see the loss of any momentum they’ve gained with fans following the labor issues of the previous season. We’ve all seen what the exclusivity agreements in both football and baseball have wrought so far, and it hasn’t been pretty. Simply put, when you’ve got to beat the other guy, you try harder. Take that away, and you wind up with lackluster, sloppy titles. Kudos to the NHL for a job well done.

Gamespot is reporting that the NHL has signed non-exclusive, multi-year licensing deals with both Electronic Arts and 2K Sports, eliminating the possibility of a repeat of the battles for exclusivity seen with both Major League Baseball and the National Football League.
It had been reported late last year that EA had scooped up the exclusive player name rights from the NHLPA, but that the NHL refused to license their end of the game unless 2K Sports was cut in on the NHLPA deal. For those unaware of how the system works, the NHL holds the licensing rights to the teams, logos, arenas and uniforms while the NHLPA holds the rights to the players themselves. The NHL released the following statement following the signing of the current licensing deals;

2KSports has finally released a patch to correct the lock-up issues in MLB2K6 without having to resort to their "workarounds". The patch can currently be obtained via Xbox Live. Gamespot reports that 2K is working on a way to get the patch to people without access to Live.

The folks at 2K Sports have come up with a temporary fix for the freezing problems many people are experiencing with the Xbox 360 version of MLB2K6. While they work on a permanent patch to the game, you have 2 options…
1) Remove or disable the HDD
or…
2) Load three different Xbox 360 games to the main title screen of each game then load Major League Baseball 2K6 on Xbox 360. All three Xbox 360 games must be completely different before loading Major League Baseball 2K6.
Not exactly ideal, but at least it’s something until they get the matter corrected.
