NFL Fever on Xbox.com
WEEK EIGHT OF "NFL FEVER ON MONDAY NIGHT" CONTINUES ON XBOX.COM
Today, Microsoft announced week eight of NFL Fever on Monday Night. NFL Fever on Monday Night is a simulated highlight reel that appears every week on www.xbox.com previewing the upcoming Monday night game. All games will be played in incredibly realistic replicas of NFL stadiums with current rosters, using Microsoft’s NFL Fever 2002 for Xbox to simulate the game.
In six of eight simulations, NFL Fever 2002’s artificial intelligence has accurately simulated the Monday night game. Last week, NFL Fever 2002 made it four straight when the artificial intelligence correctly predicted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers road upset of the St. Louis Rams.
In this week’s installment of NFL Fever on Monday Night, Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers earned a low scoring, turnover filled victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, 17-8. The Packers defense lived up to the hype by forcing five turnovers and holding the Jaguars to only 10 yards on the ground. Safety Bhawoh Jue picked off two Mark Brunnell passes dropping the struggling Jags to 3-8 on the season.
NFL Fever 2002 is available in stores exclusively for the Microsoft Xbox and includes motion capture and football expertise from All-Pro Quarterback Peyton Manning, music from Public Enemy's Chuck D and the hip-hop group N*E*R*D along with play-by-play from Dick Stockton and Ron Pitts.
