I’m a bit confused by this one here. I think the football gaming market is fairly saturated, but who knows. In an effort to diversify, Nerjyzed Entertainment in bringing Black College Football Xperience to the PC this November.
BCFx is a sports game that captures the unique culture of the black college football experience, fusing advanced videogame design with music, and entertainment. Nerjyzed has secured an exclusive 5-year licensing agreement with three HBCU conferences including the SWAC, SIAC, and CIAA, several schools within the MEAC as well as independent HBCUs. The game features more than 40 teams, bands and mascots; interactive halftime shows; realistic stadiums; play-by-play commentary; and ten authentic Classics.
I think we all learned a long time ago that using an uppercase “X” to start a word automatically makes your game awesome.
Here’s the full press release:

Write a Comment»I really don’t see the point of making a “black” football game. Is it just me or aren’t we trying to bring all the races together instead of seperate them? Since when have we started going the other way on this?
I welcome more football games into the market but one based on race is a bit odd. what next chinese football or mexican football. i think we are taking the genre a bit too far. NFL street mixed it with hip hop and other franchises have tried to mix it with robots and such which can work but why with an ethnic group? Can we also expect Black College baseball and other sports? Lets see how it pans out but I am not crazy about the idea.
Im going to keep an eye on this one and see if it comes up in the media at all with the whole race factor. If RE gets called out then how will this game not draw controversy
Riiiiiiight
He he, wouldn’t Mexican football be soccer(I know lame joke, but I couldn’t resist…)?
I agree this is a bit odd, not because of color or anything. But one race only? Um why exactly?
Okay, this isn’t a game about “black” college football players, it’s a game about “black college” football. There are a hundred or so schools in the US that are called “black colleges”. White people go there too, but they are mostly populated by blacks. The title is just a reflection of what these schools are actually called.
Trust me, this is not about race, it’s about some conferences in the south that have a distinctly different feel, especially when it comes to sports. That’s it. That’s all. If the name offends, think about it as the “SWAC-MEAC football xperience” as those are the main conferences that are represented.
you all make me laugh i agree with the whole we shouldn’t be separated spill,but we aren’t separated,no actually we are seperated because ea sports has us on their video games,but on the games we have to share everyone else tradition instead of our own as if we as in HBCU’s are not even good enough to be represented the true way.So we as in blacks figured if EA SPORTS didn’t want to give us our proper representation we will do it ourselves. The problem is U as in some white people know that HBCU’s have a different tradition and know that we are not wel represented on games so there for U make hidden racist comments ,because U don’t have the balls to say what U really feel and try to make an attempt to keep us from being represented GO NORFOLK STATE SPARTANS BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Black colleges should have just sold their rights to EA sports to be included in the game. Instead of selling their rights to a rogue game developer. I hope this game is good however because of the fact that it runs on the unreal 3.0 engine and uses rag doll physics. The developer has a 5 year contract with these conferences featured in the game so if it does well on the pc I wouldnt be suprised to see this game hit next gen systems in a yearly type of thing, which would be awesome because Its time for some competition to EA Sports. I dont think this game could possibly be better than NCAA 08 for last gen but it may be better for next gen and of course EA sports will win the battle but it would be good to see them get pushed.
