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


    Heisman Trophy Winner to Be Uniquely Featured on Each Platform Cover

    REDWOOD CITY, Calif., - April 8, 2010 –Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that former University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will be featured on the cover of EA SPORTS™ NCAA® Football 11, available in stores July 13th. Tebow is celebrated as one of the greatest college football players in history and is revered as an ambassador of college football.

    Tebow was the first sophomore in history to win the coveted Heisman Trophy following his 2007 season as the Florida Gators’ starting quarterback. In that season, Tebow became the first player in NCAA history to rush and pass for at least 20 touchdowns in a single season. Tebow is one of the most decorated college quarterbacks in history, winning the Davey O’Brien Award as the nation’s best quarterback in 2007 and becoming only the second player in NCAA history to earn the Maxwell Award, given to the nation’s top football player, on two occasions.

    NCAA Football provides the ultimate experience for the true football fan, delivering the excitement and pageantry that can only be found in college football. 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. NCAA Football 11 recreates the intensity of college football Saturdays, achieving all-new levels of quality in core gameplay for the award-winning franchise.

    With the major game features scheduled to be announced between now and launch, football fans are encouraged to visit http://www.ncaafootball11.com regularly for the most up-to-date information, including insider blogs written by the NCAA Football 11 development team.

    Developed in Orlando, Florida by EA Tiburon, and licensed by The Collegiate Licensing Company, NCAA Football 11 will be available on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system and the PlayStation®2 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems.

      the press release is the "official" statement from EA(they release a news update on the NCAA 11 site not that long ago). the other thread was the ESPN.com article.

          Yea, I knew EA would release their own article. I just completely forgot the other topic was from ESPN.com. Still, as a topic overall, it's late. As for releasing the article, I guess its on time.

            I'm not surprised that Tebow will be on the cover. But I don't like the idea of him being on all of the platforms. I think Suh, McCoy, Gerhart, those guys, deserve some cover time. But oh well. Should have expected this.

                      thats not really new though. that has been hinted at since the NCAA site got "updated" to NCAA 11. also Roy(the new Executive Producer) hinted at it in his introduction blog. http://ncaafootball.easports.com/blo...logId=blogid10

                        As much as I love to have AD mode I would gladly sacrifice it for better gameplay and presentation for NCAA 11. But I hope we do get another feature like coaching carousel to make Dynasty more realistic.

                          Yea, don't take it personal I've picked you out in two different topics. I just disagreed with you both times. Haha, we good? lol

                          So far, it seems we'll be getting new presentation and improved gameplay. locomotion + ESPN presentation = Best EA football game to date. If they added a Coaching Carousel and AD mode on top of what we know is in, then, boy, this game would never leave my box.

                            I think we're allowed to disagree. Wasnt anything personal, just discussing opinions, its all good.
