Five Reasons to Be Excited for NCAA 13: #3 Revamped Athletes

[CPTryder1536]

There were rare ones in previous versions of the game. I remember in NCAA 09 I recruited a 3 star WR while at Tulane that had a 98 speed and to my surprise this WR could also play QB and DB. Needless to say this WR took my Tulane to the National Championship and won it in my Online Dynasty. I cannot wait for NCAA 13

Most of the time I disagree with almost everything on these OS lists, but this one has been on the beam so far.

so can this mean we can recruit an athlete where they suck at qb decent at wr and be the best rb in the nation that be awesome

Interesting that this took so long, considering that useful ATHs were on NCAA 06

I love NCAA Football games. The recruiting adds so much to playing multiple seasons. Especially since players graduate. The fact Madden 13 does not allow importing of the NCAA rosters this year is fine with me. I did not import them last year anyway because of all the import ratings issues that popped up.

The Athletes and gem/bust recruits really is exciting.

I'm so excited they revamped the Athlete position. I hated that the top players were Athletes but could really only play one position once they got in.

More excellent revelations. Getting better and better. I still want my cosmetic upgrades though.

Addressing an earlier post - I doubt this means you'll get to play the guy all over the field on both sides of the ball. It just means that athletes now will have about 3 primary positions during the recruiting process, that by recruiting him more you figure out what those positions are, then if you are able to sign him that during the pre-season you assign him a position and the skills he builds up from then on are mainly for that one position. Still a huge improvement for athletes.
