1. B Y T Y R O N E S I B A N D A
CASE STUDY OF GENRE

2. EXPLAIN THE UNIQUE QUALITIES OF
YOUR CHOSEN GENRE
• My chosen genre is sport.
• Sport unique qualities are that it has many different game modes on all
three games that lets you tackle challenges that essential to that particular
sport. It also can bring a lot of people together to play with one another
either against each other or working together. Some time ago when games
like these use to come out, it was like whoever played that particular sport
would only play that game, but nowadays everyone is playing all of the
sports games because of all the new features that have been enhanced into
the game and the graphics have also played a very big part in doing that
aswell.

3. NAME 3 GAMES OF THAT GENRE YOU
WILL BE FOLLOWING
• Fifa 17
• NBA 2K17
• Madden 17

4. DESCRIBE THE 3 GAMES, ONE AT A TIME,
EXPLAINING WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT, HOW
THEY RELATE TO YOUR CHOSEN
GENRE/HOW THEY CAN DEFINED AS A PART
OF THAT GENRE, AND YOUR THOUGHTS ON
THE GAMES DEPICTION OF THIS GENRE.
FURTHER THOUGHTS: DOES USE MORE THAN
ONE GENRE? IS THERE A SUB-GENRE BEING
DISPLAYED AND HOW IS THAT USED?

5. MADDEN 17
• In Madden NFL 17, players can take their team all
the way with new gameplay features that elevate
the ground game, arming teams for success on
both sides of the ball. With improved ground game
performance, experience the most balanced
gameplay to date. On offense, you get better, more
creative ball carrier control, while new defensive AI
puts your teammates into position to stop the run or
passing game. Take your team all the way in the
deepest Franchise mode to-date, putting you at the
centre of your team’s Championship run. A new
colour filter will allow players to turn on colour
specific options that will change items like players
to the field to better accommodate those with colour
blindness. Brightness and contrast settings will also
be included. In my opinion by adding all of these
new features it brings a lot to the table because by
doing this it can bring a lot of views from people
playing it and make a lot of money.

6. NBA 2K17
• There are several games modes in the
game such as My Career where a player
customises a player and plays through
and NBA Career. There is also My Park
where players can versus each others
custom players online. As well as My
Team where player can build their own
team using NBA players. As a basketball
being a very big sport in the United
States, they are going to try and involve
new features and graphics to uphold the
genre of sport.

7. FIFA 17
• If you are to play FIFA you should be able to know the basic rules of
the game like a match is played by two teams of no more than eleven
players each, with one player per side playing a goalkeeper and the
most obvious one is when a goal is scored in football if the ball
crosses the goal line between the two goalposts and under the
crossbar, as long as no violation of the rules have taken place. The
side that scores the most goals wins. If both teams have the same
number of goals at the end of the match. It is considered a draw even
if neither of them scored a goal. There is also a new game mode
called the journey which is on FIFA for the first time ever, live your
story on and off the pitch as the premier leagues next rising star, Alex
Hunter. Play on any club in the premier league, for authentic
managers and alongside some of the best players on the planet

8. IF YOU WERE MAKING YOUR OWN GAME,
WHAT CREATIVE CHOICES WOULD YOU LIKE
TO MAKE, BASED ON THE STUDY OF THE
GENRE
• If I was to create my own game, it is going to be a football game as that is my favourite sport
and try to relate it FIFA 17 by having more game modes that would suit the players. In my
game I want to at least have 3 game modes. In my first two game modes I want to try and
replicate what they done in FIFA 17 by having the journey, so for mine I am planning to
include that but with a little bit of a twist, you still have your main male character but in this
one, you are going to have the choice to choose between a male character and a female
character so that I can get more views from a females perspective of the game instead of
just a males view. This mode can be even more challenging from the females perspective
because of the sacrifices that she is going to have to make in order to play in the Woman’s
super league and probably become the best player in the game. Also for the males version
of the journey, in FIFA17 you are only limited to play in the premier league and go on loan to
either three teams in the championship, so I am looking to expand it to at least 5-6 leagues
which are premier league, Bunsesliga, La Liga and Series a, also when they go on loan it
can be to any team of their choice but it cannot be any top team in the top 35 ranking, this
gives them more of a variety to choose from. I want my third game mode to be a little more
tactical, with it being a managerial mode where you are starting off as a young manager who
is starting in one of the lowest leagues possible and has to work their way up until they reach
one of the best leagues in the world but before you try to accomplish that you are going to
have try and overcome a lot of situations which could either get you sacked or look to a
lower club
