EA SPORTS Declares Jared Zabransky As Cover Athlete for NCAA Football 08 EA SPORTS Declares Jared Zabransky as Cover Athlete for NCAA Football 08 Former Boise State Quarterback Defines Essence of Top Selling College Football Game REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 2007--Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that former Boise State University quarterback and Tostitos Fiesta Bowl MVP Jared Zabransky will appear on the cover of NCAA® Football 08, scheduled for release this summer under the EA SPORTS™ brand. Developed by EA Tiburon, NCAA Football 08 will be available on the PlayStation®2 and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment systems, and Xbox® and Xbox 360™ video game systems from Microsoft. "This has been a magical season for me and seeing my face on the cover of NCAA Football 08 is yet another unforgettable moment in what has already been a great year," said Zabransky. "This video game truly embodies the spirit of college football and I'm very proud to be a part of it." Zabransky led Boise State to two undefeated seasons and most recently to a 43-42 overtime victory against Oklahoma at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in what some call one of the most exhilarating games in college football history. At the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, he completed 19-of-29 passes for 262 yards and will most likely be remembered for perfectly executing the Statue of Liberty play to win the game. In three seasons as the starting quarterback, Zabransky compiled a 32-5 record and was named a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien and Maxwell Awards this past season. In NCAA Football 08, players will look to be a leader and become a legend on the field. With all-new Leadership Control, players now lead by example and control the action on the field and can increase their sphere of influence by improving their players' personal ratings on each big play. For the first time on Xbox 360 and PS3, the game will feature a new and deeper recruiting system and an all-new Campus Legend mode. NCAA Football 08 is everything that's great about college football.

  • Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
    HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.

FOCUS looks back at the 2006 Boise State football team’s 13-0 storybook season. (John Kelly photo) FOCUS WINTER 2007 13 yes, IT REALLY HAPPENED By Bob Evancho At times, it still seems surreal — as if what we watched unfold on the evening of New Year’s Day didn’t really happen: Did we just tie the game on fourth-and-18 from the 50 with seven seconds left? Did Vinny just hit “Shoe” with that TD pass? DID IAN REALLY JUST SCORE ON A STATUE OF LIBERTY TO WIN THE GAME?!

  • A Whole Different Ball Game: Playing Through 60 Years of Sports Video Games
    EXHIBITION OVERVIEW A Whole Different Ball Game: Playing through 60 Years of Sports Video Games Exhibition dates: September 14, 2018–March 10, 2019 Location: Museum of the Moving Image, 36-01 35 Ave, Astoria (Queens), NY 11106 Summary: Ever since the first video game, Tennis for Two, debuted at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s public exhibition in 1958, video games have sought to recreate, adapt, and build upon the games Americans most regularly encounter: sports. A Whole Different Ball Game presents a selection of 44 playable sports video games spanning the last six decades, examining the complex relationships between game, sport, media, and culture. The exhibition considers what it means for full-body sports to be transposed to screens and controllers in the service of realism, who is or is not represented in sports video games, the ways broadcast sports and video games reflect one another, and the primacy of statistics in professional sports and sports simulators. Contents: The exhibition is organized in seven sections (see below for details and game list) plus a new video installation, an interactive experience, and a video screening area with bleachers. There are 44 playable games, including hand-held devices, arcade games, console and PC games played on monitors and wall projections. Additional games that are not playable are included for historical context. In addition, there is video content in the exhibition for documentation of game play and comparison to televised sports. Curators: Curator of Digital Media Jason Eppink and John Sharp (Associate Professor in the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons School of Design at The New School).
