Interesting. I don't think Murray will get the vote though.

Did you see the photoshoot they did for Tebow last year? They take a lot of posses and stuff. With or without helmets

One way or another, Cam Newton is a lock to be the NCAA 12 coverboy IMO.

The EA Football page said tmrw at 10am ET on ESPN2 First Take they will make an announcement. "Huge". I bet its just the cover

I agree. I hope that we are both wrong, but I have a feeling that it will end up being a still picture of a receiver trying to catch a pass. That obviously will include, everyone pretending to see something that is not there in a still picture; i.e. look at the lighting this year, it is going to be amazing, or the infamous, man the player models look so much better. Come on guys, it is just a picture. I do not get excited until we get some real gameplay features, improvements and/or actual game play video.

If it's on ESPN, it'll just be the cover announcement and probably an interview with the cover athlete. probably will be nothing on the actual game itself.

# 8 EA_Alex_Howell @ 03/02/11 02:40 PM

Yes, we are going to reveal HUGE news. But I am going to go ahead and spoil it for you...

I could give a crap less if Charlie Sheen is on the cover. Why anyone would care who is on the cover of the game is a mystery to me. Its beyond irrelevant.

That won't mean a damn thing unless windsocks are in this year!

# 12 PantherBeast_OS @ 03/02/11 02:56 PM

Like some of you guys have already said. It is most likly about the player that is going to be on the cover of the box. In which to me ain't nothing big. But again like others have said aswell. I hope I'm wrong aswell as you guys are. I hope it is something that is going to get ncaa 12 on a good note to start out this year. Not going for the hype train on this big news until I see it. Hope it is big news and something about gameplay aleast.

# 13 TrojanMan3 @ 03/02/11 03:08 PM

Yep. Seems to be which athlete is going to be on the cover. My vote is for Mark Ingram. Heisman winner, National Champ.No bad background. 1st round draft choice. But SEC cant dominate the season and the video games lol

That won't mean a damn thing if RTG mode doesn't let me go out drinking as a freshmen!

On a serious note, they should add part of the National Anthem. That is my most wanted presentation imput.

won't we all be shocked if they actually released NEW* information.

By new I mean something that is actually new. Not just "Oh we made better graphics [...again]."

Wow! Voting on a picture! They are listening to consumers.

# 16 Pokes404 @ 03/02/11 03:30 PM

My heart tells me that they will announce a emphasis on defense this year and along these lines, the addition of collision physics!

But, my head is telling me it's just the cover athlete.

Hey, I can dream though.

# 17 Hova57 @ 03/02/11 03:33 PM

I think tommorrow will be NCAA day we get the info for voting a cover athlete and we will also get a blog
