If they could capture the real feel and atmosphere for an HBCU game, this could actually be pretty damned cool.

Judging from the screenshots I've seen, they might as well call it Blaximum Football.

I saw an ad for this earlier. I dunno whether I think they'll be able to pull it off in short order. I mean, the teams might be a little better. But save for that? So we get better band routines? I'd like it a lot better if it were some sort of weird sports/music hybrid that let you do more with the bands. That would appeal to geeks, sports fans and former band members too.
But what I see here just seems like a watered-down version of another game and the graphics didn't look that great. But hey, if it gets those schools a few more bucks by licensing their names out, I suppose it's no big deal.

Reverse racism is always a good thing, IMO.

How is this reverse racism? The phrase 'Historically Black College' when referring to a group of schools is no different that using the phrace 'BCS schools' when referring to the SEC/ACC/etc collectively. ...and if you don't think there's a niche market for the game, I don't know if you understand the following that SWAC & MEAC schools have when compared to other Div I-AA schools. |

Apparently, you can actually participate in the band routines in this game. Obviously, I don't know about the quality of this feature, but this could turn into a drum major simulator, just like Maximum Football is a clothing design simulator.
I hope this game does well, but I just don't think it's going to get much of a chance.

I'm sure the game would be treated the same way if it was a game about white colleges, too. |

I went to a black college but painted my face and skin everyday so I could fit in.
Hilarity ensued when I played basketball.

We can sim it in Madden or FOF or something. It won't be ultra-realistic, but could be funny. I never thought about DBs... I can't think of a white DB I'd want starting for me right now. Better start looking at rosters... |

If you got go to NFL.com, you can sort my position... and then you can mouse over an icon to see their picture! I saw a few white DBs, but they don't look too good.

You want him to coach, then just go ahead & crown his ass.

If you want him to coach, then he can coach. I think coaches should be decided once we have actual teams though. If the white team has crappy RBs and a crappy O-line, I don't know that Mike Shanahan would be a great choice.
