Quick Snap: Tebowing in Madden 13 & Celebration Suggestions for NCAA 13

H/T to OnlyGators.com, which reported this morning EA Sports creative director Mike Young confirmed “Tebowing” would make its way to Madden 13.

It seems like a rather minor addition, really. See, there was a time when Tebowing was called praying, and the kneeling prayer celebration was once featured in the PSX version of NCAA ’99. Perhaps since EA’s NCAA title so often feels like a Madden Beta tester, we’ll see the former Florida Gator and Heisman winner’s ESPN-inflated gesture in NCAA 13.

If the game’s producers want to get really bold though, there are a few other noteworthy celebrations and antics worth incorporate in the video game market’s sole college football title. Randall “The Thrill” Hill’s six shooters from the 1991 Cotton Bowl stirred controversy, and were a significant inclusion in Billy Corben’s documentary, “The U.” Why not immortalize it in pixelation?

Actual players are barred from appearing in the game because of a ridiculous NCAA rule, but coaches are featured prominently. Oregon winners should feature Chip Kelly snapping on rowdy students.

The game already features mascots, though livening up their antics is in order. An agitated Uga attacking opposing teams’ players would give the mascots an actual impact beyond silly sideline interludes.

And as long as off-field elements are prevalent, no college football game can be truly authenticate without a dash of fan unruliness. EA could revolutionize the industry with a mini-game Tailgate Hero: drink the beer in time with a school’s fight song, and gain your team confidence points by winning Street Fighter style hand-to-hand combat in the stands.

Bonus for the inclusion of Paul Finebaum and his callers.
