Q&A on FeverX
Catch the NFL Fever met up with two of the FeverX team members, which were Microsoft Sports Program Manager Kathie Flood and Game Designer David Ortiz. In the interview they talked about all kind of juicy tidbits that FeverX has to offer. Here is a little taste.
CTF: Fever X seems like it’s cutting right down the middle. Depth for the hardcore and gameplay for the casual. Correct? How "deep" is this game? If I may ring out a few one liners at you guys. Dynasty Mode. Classic Superbowl teams. All Time Challenge, classic teams. Does this mean you have NFLPA contracts or will it be "tackle by LB #56"?Microsoft: Your assessment is very accurate, depth for the hardcore gamer and raw gameplay for the casual gamer. To answer your question of exactly how deep, here is an example of the career of one player. You can draft a rookie in our off-season draft, perform well and turn him into Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year, as he leads your team to a Super Bowl Title and collects Super Bowl MVP honors. Once the Super Bowl is over you can take him to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii as he catches some sunshine before preparing to dominate another season and ultimately get his jersey retired, break NFL records, and reach the Hall of Fame. We are currently working with the NFL and NFLPA on the specifics for representing retired players.
