EA Announces Tim Tebow as Exclusive NCAA Football 11 Cover Athlete (Press Release)

[Tengo Juego]

Quote:

NCAA Football 11 will give players 120 ways to win with real college offenses that, for the first time ever, reflect the authentic style of every NCAA FBS school

So, we now know what 3 items from the potential features survey were selected for '11.

Why Tebow and not Suh. Suh is a better football player and would look like a monster on the cover. Meh, I guess I can live with it....

Yes I agree, why not a guy who was a stud defensive tackle over the first sophomore to ever win the Heisman and the only man ever to win two Maxwells. I realize a lot of people don't like Tebow for various reasons, but there is absolutely NO argument anybody can make for anybody other then MAYBE Colt McCoy (most wins by a starter) for the cover of the COLLEGE football game. This isn't NCAA Best Pro Prospect 11.

wanted to add this isn't directed ONLY at you as i saw it about 50 times in the other thread.

As long as he is not on all the versions I am fine. I am guessing he will be on the 360 version so hopefully that means someone else will be on the ps3 version.

In one way it is not surprising to hear that Tebow is a cover athlete because he was a great player. On the other hand, he is also hated by about 90% of college football fans. I honestly don't know of a single person, no family, friends, or co workers that actually like the guy. Personally I blame the media for so many people hating him: we all got sick of hearing about Timmy "Jesus is my uncle" Tebow.

If these were the only three they would have stretched out the announcements to late May; I'm cautiously optimistic there will be more. The Madden devs made mention of players spending way too much time at the play call screen compared to playing the game and they wanted that to change. That means the first one on the list is definitely in for Madden and likely NCAA.

Well, I guess you wont be fine, cause he's on all covers. That's what exclusive means.

Well, the ESPN presentation was a slip up. It hasn't been 'announced' yet.

What!?!?! There is no way this guy can be on all the covers.

He'll be on all the covers, just a different pose for each. Check out the article.
