NCAA Football 13 Cover Athlete - RG III

Re: NCAA Football 13 Cover Athlete - RG III

Lets get real here , EA should honor the SEC in some way on this cover , I mean 6 in a row is something really great .

I think the SEC "honors itself" enough as it is.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Cover Athlete - RG III

Their resume was better ? What are you watching ? It was sad what happened I understand that but , how much time did the football players spend around womens basketball coach's ?

That's All-Big XII defensive end Jamie Blatnick on the right. He had done a summer internship with the women's basketball strength and conditioning staff before the season, but ended up getting really attached to everyone in the program. Coach Budke liked him so much he gave him a spot on the bench for the season. Blatnick was obviously the closest to him, but with him there, a lot of players would drop by and ended up getting to know Budke a lot closer than they would have otherwise.

And look, I'm not going to use the death of 4 people as an excuse to lose a football game. I find that very disrespectful to them. I just wanted to point out that there was a connection between football and the women's basketball program.

As far as the resumes are concerned, I haven't looked at this after the final polls, but after the last week of the season:

Wins over Top 25 teams:
OSU - 5 Ala - 2

Wins over Top 50 teams:
OSU - 7 Ala - 5

Wins over FBS Teams w/ winning records:
OSU - 6 Ala - 3

Finish in conference:
OSU - Big XII Champs Ala - 2nd in West Division

Alabama had a great team this year and they made the most of their opportunity. It's just frustrating that the BCS preaches "body of work," but then suddenly it comes down to just one game. In short, OSU's argument was based on who we beat, Alabama's argument was based on who they lost to. But, no excuses, we lost a game we shouldn't have. Simple as that. We still had a great season, had a fantastic finish against a really impressive Stanford team, and have the opportunity to keep the momentum going this season. Life goes on.

They had an all conference D-end ? Dont that say enough about the defense thats played in the Big 12 ? Anyway , this is not about Alabama , its about the SEC as a whole .

Went ahead and fixed your post for you. You're welcome.

I seriously don't even know why I bother with these people anymore. Even when you try to credit them and be civil, they feel the need to try to back-hand you in some way.

"Alabama had a great team and made the most of their opportunity."

Yeah, there's a lot of crying in there. And certainly your smart little comment to the extent of "OSU had an All-Big XII player on defense! The Big XII must really suck," certainly wasn't intended as any kind of disparaging remark.

Don't insult my intelligence. At least own up to what you say.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Cover Athlete - RG III

The voting thing last year was just a way for EA to avoid putting Cam on the cover because of the wild accusations about him and frankly I'm surprised he's not in the running for the Heisman spot this year. Not that it matters too much since I haven't bought NCAA since 2010. I do hope they make a good game one day.

RG3 was the correct and logical choice this year. He's going to help out some team at the next level. He's a great athlete.

Waiting for EA to put Pat Tillman on the cover.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Cover Athlete - RG III

RG3 obviously deserves it, but so does Cam Newton. It was a joke last year with Ingram on the cover and Cam not even being in the vote. Obviously it was because of controversy, but Cam should be honored and be put on the cover sometime soon.

[bmark81]

RG3 is by far better then A.luck but I dnt care about the cover I want to hear about gameplay and new features yeah!

Re: NCAA Football 13 Cover Athlete - RG III

How is RG3 by far better than Andrew Luck

Re: NCAA Football 13 Cover Athlete - RG III

because Andrew Luck had a great team. RG3 had a ****ty team and put them on his back and single handily carried them this year to a great record. Luck had all the pieces in place for his team to be great already.

That is why RG3 is "by far better" then Luck.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Cover Athlete - RG III

I think Madden and Ncaa need 2 have a offense and defense of player on the cover every year bcause it seems like they always put an offensive player on the cover and they only focus offense ..... so if they put a athlete from both sides of the ball so they can focus on both aspects of the game

NCAA13: RG3 and Mark Barron this is just an example

I know some might not agree so let the critism begin lol
