This year EA is going to show off elements of their newest College Football game through the NCAA 13 Playbook webpage. Check out the website right here. Playbook #1 is now available to look at. It shows off some of the new sights and sounds that will make their way into the final game.
With new trophy presentations, motion blur rendering, progressive lighting and an expanded broadcast presentation, NCAA Football 13 brings a defined sense of realism to light up game days. Pre-game traditions feature several new schools, including:
Purdue Boilermaker run-out
Military parachutists for Army, Navy and Air Force
Oklahoma State Paddle Fans
Texas Cheerleaders
USC Song Girls
The sound department is upgraded too. EA sent their sound guys to 20 different stadiums on game day to record stadium specific chants and chears. Check back with the EA Playbook website periodically since there shold be four more playbook features in the future.
Mike's first experience with a console was in the early 80’s when his dad brought home an Atari 400. It wasn’t the greatest gaming machine at the time but it did play a crude version of Pac-Man and it had a keyboard. But, Mike's love for videogames really got started when his friend invited him over to his house to show off his newly acquired NES with Super Mario Bros. Mike had never experienced a game like that before and his friend actually convinced him that jumping into one of the pits would give him a powerup. It was a cruel joke and Mario lept to his death. But from that moment on Mike was hooked.
Mike was originally brought onto the Gaming Trend staff as a PSP editor starting with the god awful Major League Baseball 2K8. Thankfully, these days he reviews much better titles. He also spends an obscene amount of time playing The Lord of the Rings Online with his Dwarf Rune Keeper named McLush and his Warden named Hanton on the Elendilmir server.
