Black College Football - The Xperience: What's Behind the Name?

[strickzilla]

i think what a lot of people that feel its racist and ask where the "white" version is fail to realize the biggest (and most powerful) demographic in America is white males 18-49 (in the last census over 70% of the US identified themselves as "white"). and someone can correct me if im wrong. now as a business it makes sense to market to the biggest segment of the population.

So when EA, Sony, or Microsoft makes a game they makes it for the largest demographic, being white males (especially if were talking video games). Now some companies choose to go for a niche market because they feel they that a specific segment (nice market) can be profitable, for example when disney makes a Hanna Montana movie, they are clearly not going after white males 18-49. they are marketing to female teens.

So this game has done just that. it has found a segment of the population that was being ignored and made a product for it. So when people say "wheres the white college football game" Its EA sports NCAA.

Exactly.

Not to be a *****, but the gameplay looks horrible and it looks like it is made for the PS2. Plus, the game is going to be released soon so there is no hope for improvements. Before you say anything about me or the game, you should see the trailer and focus directly on the gameplay and the graphics.

ok people heres how things work in america. the more previlage people always have to take it. like with taxes, the more you make the more you pay. and you notice thats its ok for poor people to talk about rich people but its just wrong for rich people to talk down about poor people. you get where im going with this. thats just how its always been. cause no matter how bad we talk about more previlage people, they will always have it better.

Because the article WAS ABOUT THE NAME OF THIS GAME AND THE FACT THAT IT IS CONTROVERSIAL! And I didn't start the crap, rockchisler did that with calling someone inbred, and myself uneducated.

You and YOUR little buddies have made it clear that double standard and hypocrisy are also alive and well. And for what? Because of the crimes committed against blacks well before you were likely born?

I agree Noble, this does need to be locked, because it is about to get a lot uglier around here.

They still have hate crimes against other races all the time... the KKK still exists and the affect of injustice 3 decades ago still affects the world today... The issue of race should not be brought at OS the article failed in its attempt to bring understanding between groups because at the end of the day some people's scope on things wont change. Here is something everyone should remember the things you do today effects everyones tomorrow... so if its 500 years of 2 hours ago every action has a consequence.

Maybe I'm idealistic but racism is getting better. It obviously is still a hot topic but in my short lifetime (35 years) I have seen it fade greatly. One easy measuring stick for this is being a "Black QB" in the NFL is now just a QB and it seems stupid to think otherwise.

I have two sons... 16 and 2... and I can see that all this racist back and forth should be completely dead by the time they grow up. Just imagine... my 2 year old will not know a world that did not include a black President. That's got to be a good start for his generation. Heck my older son's first girlfriend was black. Yes I'm not proud to say my grandfather would have flipped out had he been alive to see it but I did not bat an eye the first time she came over.

Here's the point. From a white guy looking forward. "Historically Black" Colleges are proud of what they have provided the black community in the past. Hence the fact they still state they are "Historically Black". I say great for them... but the time will come and soon I hope they realize they should just be a college. Keep your history and be proud of it... but move forward.

As for the title of the game. I feel the same way about it that I do the colleges using the term. It's fine now but I hope in the near future it's dropped. Not because it's a racist statement to be "Historically Black" but because it's OLD history now.

Last warning...if it has nothing to do with the game...its should not be discussed. The state of race or racism in the world has nothing to do with the game.

In a way being called a HBC is just branding the school historically just as the Ivy league schools do. Its a tradition but at no point has a those schools not allowed white students. More importantly the cry of double standard to me lets me know that people are tired of hiding how they really feel. They are tired of being politically correct and want to air their opinion and I am all for it. Kill the rooney rule stop regualtions on all minority hiring let peeple do what ever they want. Because to be honest the new PC amercia has just made alot of people angry cause they cant say out loud what they are already thinking

Didn't know this was hitting the 360. I will probably pick this up. The gameplay looks questionable, but if I recall correctly, this uses Euphoria and that's definitely worth checking out. It also couldn't hurt to play a few games to figure out who's the real HU. Hampton usually wins the game, but Howard had the better looking girls. :P

The battle of the bands component looks pretty slick.

It looks like they recycle a lot of the animations, but what game doesn't nowadays.

People STILL brining up the point of how this is racist really need to get a clue.

[GaryT531]

I don't care what this game is called, it looks awesome!

[RaychelSnr]

Game isn't using Euphoria, I think it's built off of the unreal engine.

I think the game will be a nice alternative to NCAA 10, but I'm seriously not sure how good it can really be. We'll see.
