On Friday, Mike Young, the creative director for Madden NFL 13, revealed that the game would feature the notorious “Tebowing” posture, whose namesake drops to one knee in a solemn and evidently religious celebration. Operation Sports today published the first screenshot of what that would look like. In fact, they said it came on a fake punt play.
This is sure to rankle a ton of axe-grinders, which makes it remarkable the development team for Madden NFL 13 chose to poke this snake. But there will be a “Tebowing” celebration animation in the game this year, according to Mike Young, the game’s creative director.
As a hopeless Jets fan and Tebow-fearing human, I was not too pleased at this afternoon’s news that the Denver Broncos have traded divine quarterback Timothy Richard Tebow to the New York Jets. Current starter Mark Sanchez has enough of a media circus on his hands already.
An Alabama GameStop allegedly made a cover of a crying Tim Tebow – who (in)famously wept as Alabama beat Florida for last year’s SEC championship – and inserted it into the cases of NCAA Football 11 games on display.
Tim Tebow getting the cover of NCAA Football 11 was part rumour, part poorly kept secret, and all but assured. EA Sports has confirmed for Kotaku that Tebow will be on the cover of all versions of the game.
The agent for former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow says he was in Orlando last week to do “promotional work” for EA Sports, and while nothing’s confirmed, it’s almost unimaginable he won’t be on the cover of NCAA Football 11.
