Once again EA is putting cheesy gimmicks into Madden instead of tightening the gameplay mechanics. I don't care what they've said has changed because it usually never works as they describe it. Also, Madden has had the same issues for several years. How is this year going to be different? Oh great, we can Tebow. It better mean we don't have to wait another year play action passing or OL/DL independent interaction to be implemented. The demo better wow me or they can count on one less sale until they get it right. I'm not easily amused by the shiny.

Tebowing is not a gimmick. They are not focused on Tebowing, they are not over-hyping Tebowing. They are not making a big publicity stun or announcement about solely on Tebowing. Adding things players do in real life into their game is not the definition of a gimmick. Player celebrations and moves is pretty much something a lot of Madden players ask for, Cruz does the salsa dance too, is that a gimmick. They can continue to do this while focusing on all the real problems (as they are obviously doing). Relax.

-Yours Truly,
a huge Madden critic & Tebow h8r

I don't know what's crazier to me the fact that Tebowing is in the game, or that my name got tied into this whole story. I mean it's everywhere, I go to NFL.com usatoday.com, etc... and click where it says what he tweeted and there it is his tweet and my picture.

I wish some of you would stop using any single addition as a means to complain about the same things over and over. These rants are worthless and it's getting annoying.

Guess what? This tiny little animation has nothing to do with the problems in the game. Even those that want improvement just like you do can realize this. Not interested? Great - move along.

News is news I suppose. Kinda makes me wonder if this will be random or you can trigger it... and whether you can give your created players the ability to 'Tebow' as well.

How about EA focus on making the game good?! You know, instead of adding "Tebowing?" Nobody likes Tim Tebow anyway...

I like Tim Tebow. Especially when he knocked the Steelers out of the playoffs with a well placed pass.
Glad to see Tebowing in the game. I hope we get to see lots of stuff that we see on sundays in Madden 13.

What I don't like though is when people don't read the whole thread.

I don't know. It's an animation. Must've taken some time to mo cap. They add up. Every celebration animation that makes it might mean a gameplay animation that doesn't.

But I'm an all-hands-on-deck-for-gameplay-improvements type. I think the Art Guy should be working on pulled-on jerseys for the all new grab tackles.

Cool celebration though.

Whether you like him or not, it's about capturing the personality of the NFL. This has abosolutely nothing to do with gameplay, or does it takes focus away from that.

Personality is huge in making a game feel enjoyable and authentic. The NBA 2k has it , and all other enjoyable sports games.

I will say this. If they did not add this many would come in here and say why wasn't it in the game?????

EA can't win with some of you guys.

Tebowing? Cmon EA, let's get some improvements on the gameplay, improvement to franchise mode, superstar mode. When you're hearing QB cadences & tabowing is a highlight instead of fundamental gameplay my eyebrows start to raise.

A shame what's going on with this series man.

Re: Madden NFL 13 to Include Tebowing

It's funny I was listening to sports radio yesterday and they had a 10 minute conversation on this. They were railing on why they choose to give a marginal back up QB his own celebration in the game etc.

All I could think of was sports radio is talking about Madden 13 for 10 minutes. EA knew exactly what they were doing by adding Tebowing and imo it has to do a lot more with marketing then anything else.
