    Early this week EA Sports let loose some details on new features for NCAA Football 13. Generally that first step, which comes after rolling out cover related campaigns, prompts discussion and begins to ramp up anticipation towards the coming product. What has become clear in this case is EA will be facing an uphill battle to re-gain consumer confidence after the troubled NCAA 12 release and the weeks that followed in which they did a poor job of communicating and addressing concerns.  (mo...

Of course after the state NCAA 12 released in it will be hard to truly buy into any claims EA makes regarding the upcoming product. Consumers generally react in the following year so sales will likely be affected and ...

    ESPN Central Texas is reporting, as first noted by The Gaming Tailgate,  that Robert Griffin III will be on the cover of NCAA Football 13. Given that some sort of focus with NCAA 13 seems to be Heisman winners of the past it then makes sense that the latest Heisman would play a role in the marketing of the upcoming title. It's unclear though exactly where RG3 would fall as a potential cover athlete and given that the news seems based on involvement with a cover shoot that doesn't elimi...
