NCAA Football 08 will soon add Weather Channel service for realtime in-game weather
Today Electronic Arts (EA) and the The Weather Channel Interactive (TWCI) announced they are giving NCAA Football 08 players the ability to experience “accurateâ€, real-time weather conditions at NCAA stadiums. Soon TWCI will provide a custom weather data feed to EA Sports. When a player connects online and loads a new game they will be prompted to choose the real-time option. This likely means only the next-gen console versions of the game on Xbox 360 and PS3 will get the extra addition to the game, although no systems nor a date for the update was given.
“This is a long-awaited feature for gamers – it is the first sports game we know of where actual current weather conditions will affect weather conditions in the game,†said Derek Van Nostran, director of marketing for The Weather Channel Interactive. “The Weather Channel Interactive welcomes this opportunity to work with EA Sports to bring an extra dose of realism to the game.â€
