Black College Football: The Experience game shipped
FYI, for those interested in PC football games, a new game called "Black College Football: The Experience" has shipped. A co-worker of mine from my days at Microsoft working on NFL Fever worked on it (I'm assuming he was the lead designer/producer on the project).
If you're interested in checking it out, here's the website: hxxp://www.bcfxgame.com/ From his e-mail to me: "The first ever Black College Football Video Game, BCFX has shipped. No where else will you find a fun Black College Football video game that features all the schools from the SWAC, CIAA, SIAC, Tenn. St, as well as some of the schools from the MEAC. No where else will you get the essence of the Black College Football spirit that not only features the rich history of Black College Football but also captures full interactive halftime shows and 5th Quarter." |

Fun little concept I guess but it just sounds like an excuse not to do a full game.
Like if someone came out with "Ivy League Football". |

I don't know if it would be any fun, but "Ivy League Football" would be a pretty challenging game. 1. Struggle to find a few hundred recruits nationwide who both can clear admissions and play football at a fairly high level. Then figure out how they will fit under the banding system (basically a quota system that limits the number of athletes at the low end of the academic spectrum: a couple of slots for the studs with the 1150 SAT scores, more slots for recruits with board scores similar to the regular applicant pool). 2. Have the admissions office tell you that they won't accept half your recruit list anyway, even if most of them have acceptable academic credentials. Some admissions offices are more supportive of football than others. 3. See who finally shows up on campus, after they weigh their financial aid offers, and play you off the financial aid offices of your rival schools. 4. Watch half your recruits quit the team in the first year, since there is no threat of a scholarship being pulled. A couple of them used you to get them in to school. You used a couple of them to boost your recruiting class' academic numbers. Hmm. Maybe that doesn't sound too fun after all. |

Yeah, if you like 1-AA, you're kind of stuck with replay games like Haffner, or SAT. And then, you have to input the stats yourself.
Yeah this HBCU game is pretty niche-y, but hats off to them for offering it up. |

It would be awesome if they had Ivy League scramble bands on there. Then we could have digitized representations of mediocre music, obscene formations, and bad jokes about the Bush administration and pedophile priests... |

the website isn't very forthcoming about details on the game. Is there any kind of career mode?

I found this press release which makes it sound like the answer is no, but it is ambigious. The line about a walkon makes it sound like there might be a career mode, but it isn't mentioned among the modes at the end: Welcome to the Black College Football experience. This is the most brutally fun and amazingly accurate football experience out there. Set in the unique and colorful world of Black College Football, BCFx puts you in the spotlight. Step into the cleats of a player: Make hard hits and split decisions, as you guide your team through the season. Feel the passion of the fans and the music from the band coarse through your veins as you get closer, yard-by-yard, to the Championship game. Step into the boots of a drum major: Halftime offers no respite as you suit up, grip your baton and lead your band of musical maestros through intricate formations as the crowd roars in amazement. It's the Battle of the Bands: Win this and you just might give your team what it needs to prevail in the second half. Featuring:

Yeah, I'm not sure why that is funny either. I'd certainly play this game if it had good gameplay and a decent career mode.

Their copywriter sucks. I mean, I know what they were aiming to do in explaining the game. But....meh.
And it's only a PC game. Double meh.

It's the name of the studio that made the game, apparently. They probably think it's witty cross-marketing. In reality, we go "what the hell is that supposed to mean?"

It might... in Japan. I actually saw some sort of championship game on TV a few years ago, it did seem to draw a decent sized crowd. Apparently, some of the college football teams there have been playing since the 1930s. (The Kanto and Kansai Leagues seem to be the two major conferences.) http://www.american-football-japan.com/ |

The XBox version could be really cool if they can pull the Rock Band halftime show aspect off.

Judging by the complete disappearance of the PC version, I wouldn't be too optimistic for great success of the console version. Also the company name is just goofy.

I went to Circuit City today to see if I could take advantage of the carnage, and lo and behold there it was on the shelf. I was about to buy it, but then I saw that I did not have the requisite graphics card, so with some sadness, I put it back...

I had a meeting in an upscale building that I've never been to today. In this group of offices was an office called "hennesey (or something similiar) entertainment promotion" and they appeared to be heavily pimping this game. They had multiple huge (6 foot) cut out cardboard figures for the game just inside the door (but viewable through the glass) and one of them was a picture of Doug Williams and was promoting the "Doug Williams version of Black College Football." Interesting looking office that I was tempted to walk in and see if they do anything else.

Given your location, I'm guessing that the offices were for developer Nerjyzed Entertainment, "Nerjyzed (pronounced Energized) Entertainment, Inc. is a privately held African-American owned interactive digital media Entertainment Company headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Founded in 2004, Nerjyzed captures,creates and transforms unique experiences by pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation to develop and publish interactive software, films and music that reflect the urban experience and provide opportunities and inspiration to a diverse audience." It ships for the 360 later this year, June apparently.

Not sure how I got Hennessy out of that, but yes, that is definitely the company name that I saw. If I wasn't running late for a meeting, I would have gone in and asked them more about the game and what they do.
