I think one thing APF REALLY needs to do is go after freshly retired players like Strong, Alstott, Roaf, Tiki, Bettis, etc if they want to be able to pull in "younger" gamers who don't know the history of football. Right now, it seems APF is geared towards the older crowd (nothing wrong with that) but they'll need to start pulling in from a younger demographic.

My bad dude didnt see him

[NeRD]

No prob. And Greazy very good point. But to be honest, I like that the audience is older for APF. Less cheesers and punks. lol Any others fellas, feel free to drop some more names.

[BrandH]

Biletnikoff and Jack Lambert are already in the game.

I agree, I love facing the older competition because you're less likely to run into some b.s.

There are alot of old NFL players that build the NFL and made it what it is today that have been abandoned by the league.

Its a travesty the way the NFL treats former players from the 60's and 70's. Compared to how the other major sports league takes care of their former players.

I am happy to support 2K in supporting former NFL players that need our help

How about Trey Conner? He's the best to ever play the game. It's just he got injured so bad he retired after 2 seasons. He would be a gold HB with branching, speed, breakaway, finnesse power, clutch, stamina bonus, and soft hands.

You know what's strange? Madden put Tom Fears in their game, but when you sign him to your team, he's a defensive end. I'm not kidding.

Not tryin to be an *** but could you please read through the list and posts before postin names. Seein alot of the same names.

[buckdaddy]

OK I'LL make it easy any and all players retired since 2006 now to there abilities some should have more then 5 such as Otto Graham throw in kicking and DB skills if you want too play him 3 ways you risk higher injury chance Danny white QB/Punter skills Tom Tupa QB/Punter skills and so on most would be the old guys That went 2 or more ways but you got Sanders DB/WR also put in a limit per game of how many times Sanders could be on offense Cowboys used him like 5 to 6 plays a game have the cpu after he ran his 6 plays remove him from the offensive side of the ball.
