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



The "athlete" has historically been one of the most misrepresented prospect types in NCAA Football. For NCAA Football 13, EA Tiburon has completely overhauled prospective athletes, making them some of the most valuable recruits in Dynasty Mode.

Athletes will now excel at two or three field positions, giving them more attribute categories to unlock than any other prospect type. Through weekly scouting, you will unlock more of an athlete's ratings, which allow you to determine the on-field positions at which he might excel. That extra time spent recruiting an athlete will be well-rewarded, as their combination of elite skills and versatility gives them the chance to start immediately at multiple positions.

Highly rated athletes will add major flexibility to your recruiting classes in NCAA Football 13. The position may have been largely irrelevant in previous NCAA Football games, but athletes should be top recruiting targets in NCAA Football 13.

This is big. For a while, athletes were more or less just 'Mystery Position.' They could only play 1 position, and weren't usually overly good at it.

Love this! Opens up offensive game in that you could have him in the backfield one play, lined up in the slot the next and even run some wildcat maybe...on defense you could have different packages all over for him..

this is definitely my favorite thing this year

Very nice addition with this one. I can't wait to start building a team this year, they really see to have taken dynasty to a new level.

This is definitely a welcome tweak to the series. Hopefully, they won't overdo it and make them ridiculous compared to other positions...

Has anyone heard if we can finally create an athlete now that they have upgraded them?
