VTREE, LLC teams with EA SPORTS to create a football video game for both children and adults who have developmental and physical challenges
VTREE, LLC today introduced “My Football Game,” a new football video game engineered specifically for children with special needs and adults with developmental and physical disabilities. Using technologies provided by EA SPORTS, including the EA SPORTS football engine that powers some of its most popular football video games, “My Football Game” is a CD-based game for the PC that will bring the thrill and enjoyment of authentic football action alive to players with special needs.
There are two game versions in each CD: one for children and one for adults, each engineered to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities and those recovering from Traumatic Brain Injuries and stroke. The game can be played solo or with two users competing at the same time. Speeds can be adjusted to complement the skill level of the individual user, allowing anyone to practice and play in a comfortable environment which promotes confidence and fun while reducing frustration. Features throughout the game provide immediate feedback on performance, preserve levels of improvement, maintain results and chart development as players move through three progressive levels of play.
In addition to enhancing game skills by moving through the progressive play levels, players are rewarded for their progress inside the “My Championship Ring”. “My Championship Ring” is a virtual record for the player where diamonds represent each achievement. Every time a user passes a specific skill in the practice levels they are rewarded with another diamond inside the ring, providing a graphic illustration representing the player’s personal success and winner’s attitude. The ring is completed when each step inside both levels have been achieved.
VTREE’s “My Football Game” is available in a PC-based format that can be played on any desktop or laptop with a Windows XP or Vista operating system. The game is compatible with any USB XBOX game controller and many USB adaptive devices.
