Black College Football Experience hits shelves this November

Black College Football Experience hits shelves this November

A new football title that is quietly being released this November is Nerjyzed’s Black College Football Experience. BCFx will be the first sports title to utilize the Unreal 3 engine and will have a handful of features we’ve never seen before in a football title, which should make the game unique to say the least.

What caught my eye was the Halftime Battle of the Bands feature. I never thought a video game would allow me play the role of Orlando Jones (Dr. Lee) from Drumline and lead my marching band on the field for a half time show. That feature alone might make the game worth checking out.

The game hits stores November 23rd. Post your thoughts on the game in our forums. Check out Nerjyzed’s site for info on the BCFx Bus Tour. Below is a list of features pulled from the official site.

    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:

      • Top-Notch Graphics - For the first time ever in a football title, BCFx utilizes the Unreal 3.0 engine for state of the art graphics and animation.
      • Nerjyzed - There's that time when your senses are heightened. You block out everything, but what matters. You forget your insecurities, your fears and the limits of nature. Run faster. Feel stronger. Smile with fierce determination as you realize the machine you have become. You are Nerjyzed and the crowd is going wild.
      • Rag Doll Physics - Tackling takes on a new level of brutality and authenticity with the innovative use of rag doll physics.
      • Interactive Halftime Battle of the Bands - You need a break from that first half, but there's no time to rest. A game is on the line and its up to you to lead the band. You step into the boots of the drum major as the crowd anxiously awaits your high stepping entrance. The routine plays through your mind -the cues, the notes. It's a complexity you feel at home with and you wouldn't trade it for a thing. You take the stage, knowing the momentum of the game is in your hands now. Out perform. Out awe. And you just might give your team the boost it needs to walk away with the win. Groundbreaking music, combining original recordings with fight songs performed by the actual bands of each school and actual routines, come together to provide a truly authentic and exciting experience.
      • Diamonds in the Rough - That new walk-on has potential, but its up to you to sculpt his talent and give him the playing time he needs. With some good coaching, he just might be your next secret weapon.
      • Music - Think you know sports games? You haven't heard anything yet. BCFx combines original recordings with fight songs played by the actual school bands. After the game, enjoy more music from the bands in the 5th Quarter or head over to the jukebox to hear and download music from our constantly updated track list.
      • Momentum - Your team has the makings of a nice drive as it becomes imbued with the energy from the crowd and the sounds of the band. Things seem to come a bit easier as the ever-swinging momentum is in your favor …for now.
      • Trophy Room - Stroll through an area built for the sole purpose of admiring your accomplishments. Stare at the empty spaces, finding renewed determination for practicing harder than ever before.
      • And Much More - 40 officially licensed teams, mascots, play by play and commentary by Jonathan Coachman and Donal Ware.

    Multiple Game Modes

    • Practice Mode - Refine your strategies. Sharpen your reflexes. Prepare yourself for greatness.
    • Online Mode - Bragging rights and more are on the line, as you play online against competitors across the map.
    • Classic Mode - Face your fiercest rival. Become part of a BCF tradition. Make history, as you get the opportunity to play in an actual BCF Classic Game.


    Technology


    A true revolution in the world of sports video games, BCFx takes full advantage of today’s most groundbreaking technology. What does this mean to the player?

    *As the first ever sports title to use the Unreal 3.0 engine, BCFx features eye-popping visuals. From the grand stadiums down to the sweat filled pores of the players’ skin, its all here in vivid detail.

    *With rag doll physics powering every tackle, you can be sure to witness some brutal take downs on the field.

    *Motion Captured animation ensures life-like and fluid moves for the players on the field and the dancing girls on the sidelines.

    *In another first for sports video games, Nerjyzed Entertainment utilizes the very program put to use by BCF band directors for years. Incorporating Pyware, the interactive halftime shows of BCFx will have the same authenticity and energy that has made this world of sports so unique and unforgettable.

No one goes to black college football games to watch the actual game. Its all about the Bands and what frat or sorority is doing some lame ass step dance

I think people are starting to realize there are all black colleges where whites aren't allowed. whites got in trouble for not allowing blacks to go to their schools 50 years ago, hahaha. oh well, maybe whites will be allowed there own schools too.

I guess I have lost my mind, or better yet I'm color blind because I've never seen any all white colleges in D1 football. I guess the double standard exists only in my mind as well, thanks for clearing it all up for me.

Are you guys stupid or just intentionally ignorant. HBCU's (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) have white students. Its just outside of the white guys who grew up in black neighborhoods, what the hell other white high school student wants to go to Howard or Grambling? The number of white (or non-black) students accepted in relation to how many apply has to be close to 80% if not higher. Those colleges are in financial distress, they don't have the resources to discriminate the way dumb people assume when they try to figure out why there are so few whites.
