Talk:All-Pro Football 2K8

The article as it stands

The article as it stands sucks. Grammar is out the window, and it reads like a thread on a rumor forum. I'm gonna try to fix that over the next few days, but my time's rather limited as of late.—thegreentrilby 20:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC

There is also a lot of known information about the game missing from the article. Some of the information was unneeded but info about retired legends being in the game and other features were removed after they were added. The link is still there but known of what I wrote is still here. This article just sucks. It is a waste of space. If you are going to have this article it needs to atleast have more info about the game than just who makes it and what it is rated. 15:25, 25 June 2007

Cleanup

This article is in serious need of cleanup. JAF1970 00:30, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I added {{Prose}} to the list of player section, as it pretty much dwarfs the rest of the article as it is, and it would be worse, were we to include every single "legend" in the game. --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 12:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I just spent a while trying to make this better, but it seems this article is beyond repair. Before I got a crack at it, it looked like it was written by a small child using an online translator. just horrid. RF23 (talk) 03:26, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

I think I covered all the legends

Me and my brother went to the official website and went to where all the legends names were and added alot of legends to the chart. I think there is more but they took that feature off their official website. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.54.97.142 (talk • contribs).

Thanks, but please stop making changes like this. Not every single English speaker in the world will know that "WR/TE" will mean "Wide receivers/Tight ends". "And Many, Many More!" is one of the worst, most unencyclopedic terms possible. "Note: Please complete this list" is a self-reference. And, the entire section it is in is unverifiable. Thank you. --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 09:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I didnt put and many many more and if youre football fan you should know that WR/TE will translate to Wide Receiver and Tight Ends. I did this page good by filling in the rest of the chart. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.54.97.142 (talk • contribs).

The change I linked to [1] clearly shows you adding the text "And Many, Many More!" to the article. There is no point trying to deny it, as the proof is right there.

For what it's worth, I love American football. It is one of my favourite sports. However, not every single English speaker in the world knows as much about American football as you or I, so shortening the term is a bad change.

And two things. Firstly, remember to sign your talk page comments by adding ~~~~ to the end of your posts. Secondly, please refrain from calling people "fags". I'll let you off this once, but if you do it again, then you'll get a warning. --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 19:21, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not the only one who edits this page so somebody else would put many many more. If I covered them all I wouldnt need to say and many many more, so explain that one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.54.97.142 (talk • contribs).

Okay. Look at the link I showed above. Here it is again [2]. Without meaning any disrespect, you obviously aren't too well-versed with how wiki software works, so allow me to explain what the link shows.

As you can see, the top of the page (above the article itself) is split into a left and a right half. On the left half is the version before a particular edit, and on the right is the version after a particular edit. The number, at the top, on the right, 68.54.97.142, is your IP address. It identifies you on the internet, and does not change. It is, shall we say, the equivalent of a home address. All edits you have made to the article, to this talk page, and your vandalism on my userpage was done with that IP address. This means that in the link above, the version on the right is the version of the page after your changes.

The actual things that change are listed in red. So, for example, it shows that you changed "Quarterbacks" to "QB". It also shows that you changed "Ed Jones" to "Too Tall Jones", which is his nickname, rather than his real name. And, if you scroll down a little bit, you will see that you added the following, as it appears on the right half, but not on the left half:

And Many, Many More!

The Preset Teams and their NFL/NCAA counterparts

Note: Please complete this list

• Birmingham Iron Men (Jacksonville Jaguars)
• Los Angeles Legends (Dallas Cowboys)
• Ohio Red Dogs (Atlanta Falcons)

This is actually direct, undeniable proof that you added those particular words. It is the wiki equivalent of a video clearly showing you inputting the text. Either you, or someone on your computer (perhaps your brother that you mentioned).

If you still think I am making this up, feel free to ask literally any of these active admins to come here and have a look at this page, and at that link, and I guarantee you that they will all be able to see that it shows you adding the words.

But anyway, this is getting beyond my original point. What I was meaning to say, in my original message, was that you should be congratulated on spending your time adding the information to the table, but that the other changes you made were not appropriate. Do you see? :) --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 22:08, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and good work on doing the wikilinking just now. --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 22:11, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

"Omissions" section?

I don't think most of the omissions section belongs. It's mostly unreferenced, and doesn't seem very encyclopedic. I'm going to delete most of it in unless there are some reasonable arguments as to why it should be included. Cogswobbletalk 15:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Washington Federals

I added 'possibly' to the mention of the USFL team. While it could be a reference to the USFL, I'd consider it more likely that it's a coincidence based on the fact that Washington DC is the home of our federal government. Without a source, I'd lean towards coincidence rather than reference. JeffHCross (talk) 00:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Bogus link

I removed the link to the "All-Pro Football Headquarters" after visiting the site and seeing nothing referring to this game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.11.95.16 (talk) 04:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

The Reception section is biased.

Part of the Reception section paints 2K Studios in a negative light because of the omission of Franchise Mode. I added POV templates to show this. Please fix this. Linkfan321 (talk) 13:35, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Fixed this issue in 2/8/21 edit. If anyone wants to try and shorten up/break up that new sentence, feel free. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:404:CA00:22C0:E468:DE24:1465:D2D7 (talk) 01:19, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
