Black College Football: The Xperience Review

[RaychelSnr]

It has been two full years since a non-EA football sim was released on a Xbox or Playstation console –- five if we disregard 2K Sports’ one-and-done All-Pro Football experiment. No doubt, then, that football fans have been waiting with open arms to embrace any sort of competitor to EA’s continued stranglehold on the genre.

But does Nerjyzed Entertainment, an upstart company with a single neglected PC game in its portfolio, have what it takes to tackle the EA football giant that, for 20 years, has dominated the industry with its massive advertising campaigns and multi-million dollar development budgets?

The answer, at least for this year, is no. While developer Nerjyzed nails the "Xperience" of spending a Saturday afternoon at a HBCU football game, it still has much work to do before it gets the "Football" part of its title up to par with the giants of the genre.

Re: Black College Football: The Xperience Review

The review sums up what most of us have been saying - the football is badly lacking while the other stuff (particularly halftime) is a lot of fun. If they can polish the actual football aspect during the offseason, they could really have a decent game on their hands come next fall. I look forward to seeing what they do.

Re: Black College Football: The Xperience Review

I think that the idea is good but, is it more about the "experiance" instead of the football.

Yeah, I agree. I am certainly ready for a new football game, but I have no interest in the entire HBCU experience. I guess I am not the target audience, so I would be skipping through all of that. I hope there are future editions, which add a franchise mode and improve the gameplay. Bring me that, and I don't care if the players are Martians.

Anyone that turns this into a racial discussion will go directly to the cell for two weeks. Stay on topic and discuss the game.

Jackdog keeping the peace!

I wish there were more games like this being made. As in other games besides EA and 2k monopolies.

Re: Black College Football: The Xperience Review

yeah it would be cool to have 3rd parties trying to beat out EA and 2K

As being a black male i like the idea of the BCFX but it needs alot of work to even be able to be called a real competior in the football video game world.

Re: Black College Football: The Xperience Review

It's sad that this thread has as many deleted comments about race as there are actual game comments.

Back on topic, for this game to have any sort of chance to succeed in the future, they HAVE to incorporate online play into it. In this generation, being able to play sports games online is absolutely a given. Even if the gameplay isn't up to par, sometimes playing against other humans makes it enjoyable. It can also help combat some of the dumb AI (although not all of it).

This is very true with regards to BCFX.

The game is literally unplayable against the CPU, but competing against a friend, it's a lot of fun.
