There are very few things I love about the Fall season. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I don't tolerate mild or cold weather at all! I'd take 100+ degree temps and humidity any day over a crisp, cool breeze. But since I live in the midwest {for now} and the Fall season will be here soon enough, the one thing that keeps me smiling is the thought of another great football season!
That's my oldest son, Nathan, who just two weekends ago picked up his pads and helmet for this year's upcoming little league football season. I get butterflies when I see this! There's just something about the sport of football that I absolutely am in LOVE with and get so excited about! It's definitely in my blood though. I remember as a kid, my dad would have the TV blaring almost every NCAA college football game on in our living room. I mean, you can't be from Texas and NOT love football. It's just not possible. Or right.
Fast-forward to the present time, with my own family. Both of my older boys play football – this will be Nathan's second season of tackle football and William's {my 1st grader} second season of flag. We love having family video game night in our house because it's just so full of laughter, screaming, excitement, and competition! In this house full of boys, I couldn't ask for a more fun way to spend our weekends with them. We have been enjoying playing NCAA 2012 for Playstation 3 and are SO looking forward to the upcoming release of NCAA 2013 for Playstation 3 later this month to a Walmart store near you!
So, on July 10, 2012 the all new NCAA Football 2013 {#NCAAFootball13} will be available at Walmart retailers, just in time for some summer playdates! Who says you can't enjoy football in the summer? When it comes to enjoying on the Playstation 3, Wii, or XBOX 360, it doesn't matter what the temps are outside….any day is a good day for football!
NCAA Football 2013 will also have some amazing new features! Imagine being able to win it for your school as you play as one of 10 former Heisman Trophy winners under center, in the backfield, or split wide?! You'll be able to utilize his legendary skills for your favorite college team. You'll be able choose from these former Heisman greats:
· Robert Griffin III
· Doug Flutie
· Herschel Walker
· Marcus Allen
· Charlie Ward
· Barry Sanders
· Desmond Howard
· Eddie George
· Carson Palmer
· Andre Ware
Now, that is quite a lineup! Another cool feature that is rolling out with NCAA 2013 is "Reaction Time". With this, the game slows down during key moments, increasing your on-field awareness and opening up more opportunities as you sense things before they happen. I know my younger son is going to love this feature since he always feels that his older brother has more of and "edge" because of his experience with the game. I think this feature will make it fun for novice and seasoned video gamers, as it will increase the fun factor of the game.
And, what I am most looking forward to by far about the new NCAA Football 2013 is the EA Sports You’re Covered Program that will be coming out with the game on July 10th. This one-of-a-kind program gives gamers the ability to upload their photo online and print a custom game cover featuring their face on the body of an NCAA Football 13 player! How amazeballs is that?? I know my older two boys will be fighting over whose face gets to grace the cover, but I know what team will be represented on the cover — Texas Longhorns! I know that you and your kids would have a ball designing and printing your custom game cover once the game and this program launch! I can't wait to present the covers as gifts to my kids and watch their eyes as they see them for the first time! This would be such a cool gift idea for that kid, teen or even adult that loves college football! So many fun ideas with this one!
We're excited to be able to get into the game {thanks to #CBias} once it launches on July 10th and I'll be posting with another follow up on how much we are enjoying NCAA 13 in comparison to NCAA 12. I will also have an awesome giveaway with that post so stay tuned! I'll just say this about the giveaway — I'll make sure that as the winner, "You're Covered" when it comes to family video game night fun! For more updates and info on NCAA 13, be sure to follow EA Sports on Twitter, or connect with them on Facebook. I'm sure they'd LOVE to hear how excited you and your family are about the launch of the game in just a few days! And, I'd love to know — who's YOUR family's favorite team to root for in NCAA football?
