Game Description

By partnering with over 240 big names in football, All-Pro Football 2K8 is designed to offer a highly customizable and unique experience for both single- and multiplayer action. Players must create a dream team by recruiting as many legends as possible from a roster that includes Johnny Unitas, Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, and John Elway. Although there is no official NFL license, gamers can recognize their favorite players by their physical appearance and the familiar style and color of each character's uniform. Games are played at fictional stadiums around the country and logos for each group are similar to those found on the jerseys of real-life teams. Players are able to play through a season alone or challenge friends through offline play and online multiplayer action.

Roots & Influences

Beyond his celebrity from cameo appearances and recurring film roles, and in spite of the murderous criminal and civil cases against him, that O.J. Simpson was one of the greatest running backs ever to play American football cannot be denied. As any fan of the sport would agree, Simpson's career was definitively "All-Pro."

A few weeks after the release of All-Pro Football 2K8, in which O.J. Simpson is featured, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered that any money earned from the former Bills ball-carrier's appearance in the game must be paid to the family of the late Ronald Goldman, toward satisfying the 38 million dollars owed for the 1997 wrongful death judgment against Simpson.

Simpson was also ordered to share all contracts, correspondence, and other documents related to his licensing agreement with the game's publisher's parent company, Take 2 Interactive, Inc.
