After reading just the first paragraph in this artice, i know have no doubt thet All Por 2k8 will be an excellent game.
Game Informer: Obviously you lose the license and I was talking to Jeff [Jeff Thomas’s brother and VC’s Vice President of Sports Development] and the guys were immediately into thinking of all the different possibilities. I guess just talk about your thoughts at that time.
Greg Thomas: That was a rough time! We had to kind of reset. We had to really think about everything and what we were going to do. Everybody here thought about it. We talked. We had so many meetings. It all came back to one thing, which was, it’s all about the game of football. It’s all about the game that we made in 2K5. It’s about getting that back. We had so many e-mails from people who bought the game. We still have forums today. People play that game all the time. They’re always updating their rosters and just try to make it the most current game they can. They say it’s still the best football game. Those are the people we’re trying to please with this game. That’s what it’s all about. It’s putting aside the licenses and it’s making a real football game. That’s what we’re trying to do. We’re not trying to do anything crazy, weird, some kind of little hook here or there. It is absolutely our football engine. The best we can make it. Again, it’s all about football.
