Well now you can thanks to a discovery by BrandH over at the 2K Sports Forums.

Now you can create as many teams and players that you desire!
Friday Night Lights started out as a movie, but then turned into a 3 year running TV series that managed to survive the writers boycott of 2008, no small feat. Though a drama at heart, the series is based on a coach and the team he coaches, a Texas High School football team called the Dillon Panthers.
Fans of the series will now be able to recreate the Dillon Panthers with this code:
We hope to be adding more movie based football teams and have added a brand new section. Be sure to check out the Movie Team Package Codes section of the site for future updates.
Perhaps we'll add the team from TheReplacements, WaterBoy, Remember the Titans, or another movie based team. If you have any suggestions, then be sure to leave them in comments of this news story.
It's been awhile since the NFL Sim League (NSL) hosted it's last Super Bowl, but that's all about to change with the NSL - Road to the SuperBowl edition. 2K Football Strategy is taking on an ambitious endeavor to host a new NFL League that will replicate the historic nature of the NFL starting in year one! That's right. We'll be playing every playoff series from the beginning. Will history repeat itself? Or will a new team alter it's course, winning throughout the playoffs and claiming the Lombardi Trophy as their own.
The league will be a tournament based format with teams built using the True Balanced Calculator (from Flaxwless) and following the original NSL rules. Each SuperBowl Victory will be emblazoned on a trophy plaque graphic hosted on this site, containing the teams, score, players, and MVP of each and every SuperBowl game.
Want to see your team win it all? To create your own Dynasty? To set forth a legacy to inspire future football generations? Then prepare yourself for The Road to the SuperBowl.
Here's a nice little video that summarizes the 2008 NFL Football season. The song was written and performed by Ryan Parker. The song, and full lyrics can be found here. Be sure to visit http://www.ryanparkersongs.com for more entertaining sports songs which span the entire sports spectrum from football, to baseball, to basketball, and beyond.
It's a progressive league of the NFL teams and players with trades, drafts and anything in between. This is where you will find all things UFL. Right now you will just find the league rules and regulations, as well as progression information. In the future the information center will be the place to go to find league history, like past champions, and league records.
I would like to take a moment to give credit to FLAxWLESS for the franchise concept, as well as the backbone to the structure of the UFL progression guidelines, including an almost exact match of defensive standards. Without the hard work, and effort he put into the NFLP, the UFL would never exist.
Here you will be provided with the first Preseason Coaches Poll, to the final Poll and everything in between. Everything you need to know about the CFL will be here like the HISTORY of each bowl champion along with the season award winners.
For anyone that is not in the league, you can see what it's like to be a Coach in the CFL and to one day see your team's picture on that final Sports Illustrated cover as a BCS Bowl Champion.
This site will be an easy access for the CFL members which is something we want to do for every quality, established league at 2kfootballstrategy to post their rules along with any other league information they want.
It is now time to unvail the results of each member of the CFL's votes on who will match up in bowl games and what two teams will meet for the National Title!
Have you ever tried to put together the perfect team? Or wondered how effective your drafting order was in the game? Want to optimize your player selection in order to better compete online? Then take a look at our Position Draft Importance write up. The write up isn't lengthy, but it's a good guide for putting together a competitive team. We took into account time on the field based on formations available, effectiveness of positions, and problems in the game that must be countered by star player selection in determining the draft importance. Put a team together based on the guide, and then let use know how it works out in the forums!
For some unknown reason, a game that attempts to make it's claim to fame based on customization limits players ability to save more than 8 teams, more than 20 CaPs, and only allows a single Roster file. We have not only figured out a way around this completely unnecessary and poor design choice of 2K Sports in All Pro Football 2K8, we have provided a page with instructions on how to save multiple Roster files and have provided a set of Roster files available for download on the website. Click here to learn how to save multiple Roster files for the XBox 360.
After learning how to save multiple Rosters, then visit our Rosters Download Section and check out our Rosters. So far we have several teams available, including:
o 1977, 1993, and 2009 Dallas Cowboys Set
o 2009 Jacksonville Jaguars
o 2009 Tennessee Titans
o 2009 Texas Longhorns (University of Texas)
This is the unabridged NSL Super Bowl III game. Every play from the game is contained in this video, there are Quarter intermissions with the current score, and a statistical breakdown of the game at the end. If you want to see the game in high quality, then you can download the entire game in high quality format by clicking here (be warned, it's a 124MB download).
Here's another one of those wow moments in APF2K8. Randall Cunningham goes back for a pass, only to have it blocked. Ever alert, Randall manages to catch his own blocked pass! The crazy thing about this is that once he caught the pass, the passing window came back up. That's right, if he would have had time, he could have gone ahead and thrown the ball again. The guys at 2K Sports / Visual Concepts truly create wonderful games when scenarios such as this can play out.
New college uniform codes have been added to the site. Thanks goes out to brownster14 for working on the new uniform codes. If you are looking for a college team, then odds are we have it now.
If you are looking to recreate a College team in all Pro Football 2K8, then check out the College Team Package Codes page. If you have created a team package code for your favorite team, and we don't have it listed, then please submit it along with a picture so we can post it for others to enjoy.
Nepharius has put together an excellent new video highlighting Gale Sayers and his amazing kick returns. This is Gale Sayers and his everlasting radioactive booster blasters breaking ankles, achilles tangled, bodies mangled, leave 'em in the dust kick returns.
2K Football Strategy officially launched the website just a little over 4 months ago, and as of today we have gone nuclear by garnering over 1,000,000 page views! Not bad for a little old website created by and for video game enthusiasts!
It's the site member's the provide most of the content, and it's the site members that make the site what it is today. So a big hearty thanks from the 2K Football Strategy crew to all of the site members who have helped us make this a great place for the fans of APF2K8!
Last year a company emerged from the shadows squarely onto the fore front of the football scene with a new game in the works titled Back Breaker.NaturalMotion hit the scene powered by euphoria, a Dynamic Motion Synthesis for the new generation consoles (Playstation 3, XBox 360, and Wii).With euphoria, animations are not canned but are generated on-the-fly by the CPU as the game is played. Every tackle is your tackle, every haymaker is your haymaker. Euphoria is pitched to provide unprecedented interactivity and realism and thus far the videos released for the game appear to validate the pitch.
Even with this innovation in football, is this new tackle mechanic enough to make for a better football game?Is APF’s animation based approach really that flawed?Sure APF is not perfect, but we believe it is the best playing football game to date.
Have you ever taken the time to set all of your audibles for every formation only to realize that they have all been reset? Unfortunately, offensive audibles reset every time you modify a team's Play Book. However there is an easy way around the automatic reset, and it comes in realizing that your offensive audibles for each formation will be the first three plays in each formation. For each formation, simply make the first three plays that appear in the formations play list, the three plays that you want to be your audibles.
This is accomplished by moving the plays up and down in each formation. When you go into Play Book Manager and you open up a formation to where you are looking at all the plays within it, highlight a play and then press Y to move the play up and down within that formation. Once the play is in the location you wish it to be, press Y again to set it in that location. Then press START to save the Play Book.
Fortunately, defensive audibles do not change when you alter your playbook, although for convenience you can move these plays up and down within a formation using Y in the same way you do with offensive play
After flirting with retirement for years, Brett Favre means it this time. The Green Bay Packers quarterback retired after a 17-season career in which he dazzled fans with his grit, heart and rocket of an arm.
"I know I can still play, but it's like I told my wife, I'm just tired mentally. I'm just tired," Favre told ESPN's Chris Mortensen in a voice mail message.
Tuesday's surprise move comes after the 38-year-old three-time MVP set several league records, including most career touchdown passes, in one of his most successful seasons.
Last season, Favre broke Dan Marino's career records for most touchdown passes and most yards passing and John Elway's record for most career victories by a starting quarterback. He retires with 5,377 career completions in 8,758 attempts for 61,655 yards, 442 touchdowns and 288 interceptions. In his final season, Favre also extended his quarterback-record streak of consecutive regular-season starts to 253 games -- illustrating his trademark toughness. Add the playoffs, and Favre's streak stands at 275.
In the past several offseasons, Favre's indecision about his football future became a winter tradition in Wisconsin, with Cheeseheads hanging on his every word.
Unlike after the 2006 season -- when Favre choked up in a television interview as he walked off the field in Chicago, only to return once again -- nearly everyone assumed he would be back next season. Alas, it was not to be.
We are in the process of creating a strategy article on the Defensive Line Calls, when to use them and what each one buys the defense.
Think you know football?
Then stop by the forums and take our Defensive Line Calls Pop Quiz. Here's the essence of the quiz. There are 12 Defensive Line Calls in a 4-3, Nickel, and Dime package (see this image). For each Defensive Line Call, list whether it should be used to stop an outside run, an isolation run, an inside run, to pressure/sack the QB, or any combination of the options provided.

Today, EA Sports announced that it has extended its contract with the NFL and NFL Players through the 2012 season. That means the Redwood City, California-based publisher will retain exclusive game rights to all NFL teams, stadiums, and player likenesses and information until the Super Bowl XLVII champion is crowned in 2013.
This comes as heart breaking news to fans of the 2K series who had been looking to news and the possibility of a 2K NFL series game in the 2010 time frame. 2K has consistently created a game with more realistic game play than the Madden series, yet has found itself at the losing end when it comes to contract negotiations.
To make matters worse, when asked the following: Speaking a little more on the creative side and gearing your answer towards the consumer: how does this exclusivity deal benefit them to make Madden...
Peter Moore responded: "...as good as it was this year!"

Many of the teams current uniforms are not the uniforms the team first wore. The Dallas Cowboys for example, sport more white than silver in the early days. To celebrate the teams of yore, we have added the team uniform code for the Dallas Cowboys throwback jersies of the early 1960's. Enjoy Cowboy fans!
"Inside the NFL," the longest-running show in cable TV history, will conclude its 31-year run on HBO after the current episode, which debuted last night and reruns five times this week.
"It's like saying good-bye to an old friend," said HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg, who added the show still averages 2 million viewers per week but increasingly had trouble differentiating itself in a sports TV landscape vastly more crowded than it was in 1977.
"It's been a hell of a run," he said. "No shame here, no bitterness, no anger, just a lot of pride."
NFL Films, which partnered with HBO, plans to seek a new TV outlet for next season.
Nick Buoniconti, a host on the show for 23 years, said, "I'm very disappointed, but that's life."
After years of outcry at his omission from the Hall of Fame, WR Art Monk was finally accepted along with fellow Redskin CB Darrell Green, one of the fastest players ever in the NFL. Along with him, Emmitt Thomas, the great Chiefs CB of the 60s and 70s will be enshrined, as will DE Fred Dean, whose speed, quickness and strength made him a sack machine. The final two selections were LB Andre Tippett, who led the Patriots to their first Super Bowl in 1985, only to lose to the Bears, and OT Gary Zimmerman, who blocked for Terrell Davis and John Elway on the great Broncos teams of the 90s.

The Pittsburgh Steelers met the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Simulation League Super Bowl II. This was a game of perfection with both teams play nigh perfect and scoring at will. The Cowboys managed to take the lead at the half going up 21-17, and scored immediately after the half giving them a 28-17 lead. It would be the last time the Cowboys scored. The Pittsburgh Steelers led by their Halfback Willie Parker countered the Cowboys score and closed the game to 28-24. They followed it up by containing the Cowboys backup halfback on their next drive and forcing the Cowboys to a 3 and out, and then driving down the field for the game winning touchdown to go up 31-28 with only 18 seconds on the clock.
Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers and their team owner A Crazed Pyscho for winning the NSL Super Bowl II against Dallas Cowboys and their owner Valdarez.
Season 3 of the is in the process of starting up. This season will see 32 NFL teams battle it out over a 16 week season. The season will include a full on NFL schedule with each team having 8 home and 8 away games as well as ensuring every team plays their division rivals. The league is full, but is in need of backups. If you have 50 games under your belt and over an 80% approval rating, then hop on over and sign up as a backup for the most realistic NFL Simulation League available in All Pro Football 2K8.
New England entered the Super Bowl a perfect 18-0, and the Giants were easily considered the underdog. Yet the Giants defense rose to the challenge, sacking Tom Brady 5 times and pressuring him another dozen more. The Giant's offense, led by Eli Manning, played a solid game. Many will say it was Eli that won the game where in one play late in the 4th quarter, with the game on the line, he appeared sacked as no less than three defensive line man laid their hands on him and engulfed him in a swarm of defenders. Yet Manning emerged from the pack, spinning out and heaving the ball deep where David Tyree jumped up in the air and brought the ball down between his hand and his helmet for a miracle catch. A couple of plays later and the Giants scored the winning touchdown giving them the game 17-14.
Congratulations to the New York Giants for defeating the New England Patriots in what has to be the greatest Super Bowl upset in NFL History.
