Black College Football: The Xperience Preview

  12:55 AM - June 5, 2009 by RaychelSnr
Lately, college football video games have been a one-game dynasty with the dominance of the EA Sports NCAA Football series. In 2007, Nerjyzed Game Studios shined the lights on the world of black college football with their first title called Black College Football: The Experience.

Powered by the Unreal 3.0 engine, the PC-exclusive was met with mixed reviews. The first Black College Football game introduced mini-games featuring marching bands, but closed the season with a losing record thanks to sub-par graphics.

Next month, Nerjyzed kicks off its second season of pigskin with Black College Football: The Xperience (BCFX) for the PC and Xbox 360. Former Super Bowl MVP and Grambling star Doug Williams acts just as Jeff Gordon did in NASCAR 09, walking you through the game on and off the field.

I went to Southern University,and proud of it.NCAA Football had some hbcu's in there game before but took them out for some reason.This game is only bringing the schools taken out of ncaa back to life.

With no franchise/dynasty/career option, I'll pass.

There have been HBCU's in NCAA Football with NCAA football 2000. There are NOT any HBCU's in D-1a. Alabama State who has a suck balls record is making a bid to become D-1a.

EA can afford and would greatly benefit from adding the SWAC and MEAC. Why Not? I want to see Delaware play Delaware State on a regular basis during the regular season but that crap ain't happening either.

This a touchy issue about race. I'm just glad to see a game highlighting the positive experience about Black collegiate sports, and not about b**ches and h**s, cars and clothes.

As for the game itself, I wish that it would get more recognition, because I never even heard of this game until now. If I had a 360, I would buy it, but I only have a PS3...

No thats actually a legit question(eventhough your joking.). All races can go to those colleges. I have never been so someone else will have to let use know the chances of a white guy playing on a HBCU football team.
 
# 26 Football4lyfe @ 06/05/09 12:46 PM
White guys play for HBCU's all the time, mostly Quarterbacks Kickers and Punters

I would try this game as a change of pace from NCAA 10, but with no dynasty mode or anything, I doubt I'll pick it up. It's an interesting idea, but the halftime band thing just isn't that interesting for me to actually buy this.

For anyone in the Baton Rouge area, this game will be on display at the Mall of Louisiana tomorrow (Saturday 6 June). Not sure of the time yet.

Pick your poison.
Seriously this is stupid. The schools are called Historically Black Colleges and Universities. People call games between the SWAC, MEAC and SIAC, Black College Football because every team in those leagues is an HBCUs. If you oppose the game because of the title...you arent racist but you are ****ing stupid.

If schools in the Big Ten and ACC were called Historically White Colleges and games between them were called White College Football, I would have no problem if a game featuring just the Big Ten and ACC was called White College Football.

Ok ppl lets stop wit all the racial POV's...very little ppl kno of historically black colleges unless their black...so kill that...and the game would sell if it had other features such as Madden and NCAA...given the gameplay was on par also...my biggest thing is the name...It's Horrible...better name, better features, better gameplay and presentation...BETTER GAME...PERIOD

No wonder Diversity sucks in America the Majority People do not know anything about the Minority people. Lets see the greatest running back ever Walter Payton Played for Jackson State, The greatest Wide receiver ever Jerry Rice played for Missisppi Valley State, Hugh Douglas Rookie of the year for the Jets in 1995 played for my Alma Mater Central State, Martin Luther King graduated from Morehouse All HBCU's ( Historically Black Colleges and Universities for the unenlightened ) This disturbs me people dont know history. Now Ill wait for someone to say "Why are there black colleges anyway?".

Thats funny. I'm a Clark grad from 98. I look forward to crushing Morehouse in this game.

There have always been some great talent and people to come out of HBCU's. I have to honest, to create Walter and have him run at Jackson St. would be pretty badass. If you're not educated on what this game is about and what it represents, thats fine.....but no need for all the ignorance.
 
# 36 Steelerfan2k1 @ 06/05/09 03:11 PM
It kills me when people log on and call this game racist. In addition to the long history of HBCUs and their football programs and bands, there is another simple fact that makes "this is racist" a pointless/short-sighted remark - none of these teams or their conference for that matter are included in EA's NCAA game.

So - why object if someone makes a football game that recreates these schools/leagues that aren't in EA's game.

And don't even get me started on "There would be a huge uproar if they made a separate white college football game..." Um - read the history of college football, say from its beginnings in the 1890s through the late 1960s/early 1970s and see if you still agree with that statement.

Great Business Move!!! EA sports made a conscience discussion to remove all the Colleges from the MEAC and SWAC so there fore The folks who created this game realized that there was a demographic that was under represented so they created this game to address that.

EA sports has taken out all the competition by purchasing the rights and licensing agreements and we the fans have suffered. Madden is good but think how about how much NBA 2k has out shined NBA Live.

Well if 2k had a chance to make an NFL football game im sure it would give madden a run for its money besides, go back and look play madden 2005 then compare it to NFL 2k5

Ea sports has no competition so they crank out these games every year and the public flocks to them because they have no alternative


There have been great players drafted out of the SWAC and MEAC and CIAA

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.- Tennesse State University

Aeneas Williams- Southern U

Shannon Sharp- Savannah State

Steve Mcnair- Alcorn State

Antoine Bethea- Howard

Tavaris Jackson- alabama state

Michael Strahan- Texas Southern

Jerry Rice - Mississippi Valley State

Walter PAyton- Jackson State

People also fail to realize that the majority of these HBCUs are represented in "mainstream" collegiate sports games such as College Hoops 2K8. That is because the NCAA doesn't break the Division I teams in separate divisions in basketball like they do in football. So in a NCAA Basketball game, you're getting all of the DI schools - DI HBCUs included.

In football it's a different story. I don't know if it's a licensing issue or if EA just consciously chose not to focus on the other D-I schools. If they did, the D-I HBCUs would be included in NCAA Football series, and this game probably wouldn't exist.

Personally, I think the game has some really good features that EA should consider into next year's game, mainly the Rock Band drum set integration. I mean, pretty much every college has a drumline of some sort, not just HBCUs, so that would be a nice little mini game to add in my opinion.

And also, any student can apply to an HBCU. I know white people who've attended and graduated from HBCUs. HBCUs aren't around to have all black colleges. They were created because historically, blacks weren't allowed to attend the "mainstream" colleges, so educators (both white and black) decided to create colleges so that blacks could have an opportunity for higher education too.

This game would NOT be needed if EA included all of these schools in their game!!! I am an Ivy League Alum (who happens to be black) and would have loved to see the Ivy's and HBCU's as well. Plenty of "artists" around and more than enough memory on those disks to include them. No need for anyone to be offended as there are other cultures that attend, and play, HBCU's.

I don't think I'll buy this one. Pretty bare-bones feature wise. Nothing to do with race, the title, etc., the game just doesn't look great.

It is perfectly fine that the developers of this game choose to celebrate the history of HBCUs, and I think it is a good idea. But you can't expect a game to sell well with so few features. Just for record, I am white.
