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.

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.

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.

First look at a screenshot of Tebowing coming tomorrow

True. It is because of the media that Tebowing is the big deal that they made it. Anything Tim Tebow will get the media talking. That and it feels weird in 12 never seeing him do any Tebowing.

Hey guys, did you see that they actually added Tim Tebow to the game! What is this crap. Nobody cares about authentic rosters! just fix the dang gameplay and Franchise mode.
