The parking lot between Buffalo Phil’s and The Bear Trap will play host to the EA Sports Soccer and Speed Tour Saturday, Nov. 10 from 7-10 p.m.
Fans will get the chance to play Need for Speed Most Wanted and FIFA Soccer 13 on 16 flat screen TVs and projectors while competing in gaming tournaments filled with prizes including an Astro Gaming A50 Wireless Headset valued at $299. To win the competition, players must play both games and earn points. The contestant with the most points at the end of the tournament wins the headset and other prizes.
“It’s like a pimp-my-ride type of bus,” said Summer Bradley, college representative manager for EA Sports. “We want to offer fans a great gaming experience with a chance of competing against their friends.”
Need for Speed Most Wanted was created by the award-winning and industry-renowned studio Criterion Games. This open-world driving game puts social competition at the heart of the experience, and lets players compete to become the Most Wanted among people they care about the most – their friends.
And because an open-world game deserves an open-world structure, Criterion is throwing 20 years of gaming convention out the window and giving players the freedom to drive nearly any car they want from the start of the game. In Need for Speed Most Wanted, if the player can find it, the player can drive it. The entire gameplay experience is powered by Autolog 2, an innovative online technology that powers the player’s way to the top of their Most Wanted list – automatically populating their map with challenges, helping locate Friends in-game, and tracking progress and accomplishments – both offline and online. Everything a player does counts toward the end goal of getting on the Most Wanted list; winning never felt so good.
FIFA Soccer 13 captures the unpredictability of soccer with breakthrough features like First Touch Control that ensure no two matches ever play the same, and new online services like EA Sports Football Club Match Day that completely connect FIFA Soccer 13 to the soccer season for all of the top leagues.
EA Sports Football Club Match Day will drive real-world news ripped from the headlines around the world into FIFA Soccer 13. Real-world drama such as injuries, suspensions, team form and media gossip will be reflected through in-game commentary and play out in-game. FIFA Soccer 13 features breakthrough gameplay innovations such as FIFA 13 First Touch Control and the Player Impact Engine that create a true battle for possession across the entire pitch, and features like Complete Dribbling and Attacking Intelligence that deliver freedom and creativity in attack. FIFA Soccer 13 is Football’s Social Network, where fans connect, compete and share with millions of others around the world. FIFA Soccer 13 was chosen “Best Sports Game” by E3 Game Critics.
