Company Line

Game Play

Licenses are extremely important in sports games. BMG Interactive has obtained a four year contract to produce sports games based upon the new US Major League Soccer license.

One of the most important features of game play is the increased artificial intelligence of the other team members, who are not being controlled by players.

Another new feature is on-the-fly play calling which should increase the excitement and make the title more action oriented. You need not be a twitch game player to do well however, since the game has many thinking elements to balance the action.
