We Love NCAA 12 and Now We Are Preparing for NCAA 13! Thanks EA Sports! #NCAA13
~ EA Sports Has the Best Games For Family Fun ~
We are a huge NCAA sports family! During football season the TV is on every Saturday no matter which teams are playing. We watch them all! In fact, my hubby is so attached to the games, that he calls me a “College Football Widow” since I lose him to football for the season. I get him back after the bowl games in January. The kids like to watch with us as well. I mainly watch the games I am really interested in; hubby watches them all. Our favorite teams include: Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Maryland, and Alabama. I won’t mention the teams we root against, as not to offend anyone!
When EA Sports came out with a NCAA Football 12 game we had to try it! My kids love playing video games, and I think as long as it’s a fun family activity and in moderation then playing is fine! What’s nice about this game is that it’s a sports game, not something violent with weapons which is not allowed to be played by kids in my house. Friday and Saturday nights especially are the nights we either like to play board games or video games together.
Some of the aspects we love about the game NCAA Football 12 are the lifelike graphics, the stadium and players look real and participate in accurate team rituals, and the announcers sound just as they do during the games. Sometimes I catch hubby yelling back at them. Just like a coach would do, right? Also, as our kids are a bit on the younger side, some of the moves are hard for them so they like to buddy up with the parents for support. It makes for a true family game night! They like to be cheerleaders most the time, but my son especially likes to try and play to the best of his abilities.
Well, as you can imagine we are SUPER PSYCHED about the upcoming launch of NCAA Football 13 coming to stores on July 10th! I will be buying my copy at Walmart that day! We can’t wait to see the new cool aspects of the game! In fact, I have a special heads-up exclusive for you about some of the new things you can expect! You get it first here on Mama Luvs Books!
NEW on NCAA Football 13:
Heisman Challenge—Win it for your school as you play as one of 10 former Heisman Trophy winners under center, in the backfield, or split wide, see if you can utilize his legendary skills for your favorite college team in a quest to match his award-winning historical performances and win the Heisman Trophy once again. Choose from the following former Heisman greats:
· Robert Griffin III
· Doug Flutie
· Herschel Walker
· Marcus Allen
· Charlie Ward
· Barry Sanders
· Desmond Howard
· Eddie George
· Carson Palmer
· Andre Ware
An All-New Passing Game—A revolutionary passing system brings added authenticity to the Quarterback position from ball trajectory to play action pass to the option. Enhanced receiver control puts you in position to make a play on the ball and new read and react defensive coverage delivers greater realism on the gridiron.
Reaction Time—Great players see and feel the game differently. With Reaction Time, the game slows down during key moments, increasing your on-field awareness and opening up more opportunities as you sense things before they happen.
Dynamic Dynasty—Recruiting goes deeper than ever with the addition of dynamic recruiting pitches. For the first time ever, your recruiting grades can change each week based on your performance in Dynasty mode. In addition, Gameday Saturdays come to life with live studio updates and enhanced commentary by Rece Davis.
I’m sure you are getting psyched as well now! Another cool thing happening during the launch of NCAA Football 13 is the “You’re Covered” program you can participate in! This will be super fun, especially if you have kids or significant others who are huge sports fans. You get to use a picture of someone you know, upload it online, and feature their picture on the body of a NCAA13 player for a Custom Game Cover to print out! How cool is that? I am going to do it for my son, and maybe my hubby too! How exciting! My biggest decision now is to choose which player to feature them as. This will be a fun present to give to someone with their face on the cover! I love personalized gifts!

I will be posting again about NCAA Football 13 after I purchase the game on July 10th at Walmart! You can see my thoughts of the new game here on Mama Luvs Books, as well as an exciting giveaway I will have for my fans as well! I bet you can’t wait!
Don’t forget to get to Walmart on July 10th for the launch of this AWESOME game and go online to make your personalized cover as part of the “You’re Covered” program!
Don’t forget to check them out on Facebook and Twitter!
