The news that all college football fans and sports gamers have been waiting for for quite a long time came on Tuesday when EA Sports announced that they will be releasing a new NCAA Football game in the future.

If you haven’t played the game before — and why on Earth haven’t you? — it is one that can keep you up at night worrying about the game plan for your top 10 matchup between Kent State and Colorado State while also trying to land that 5-star recruit from Texas that all the blue bloods are going after.

The announcement had me thinking this: which Auburn team from the past would be the most fun to play with for a season on the game? Well, let’s take a look at some candidates and you can vote at the end.

1899 Auburn Tigers

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

Pros: Can you imagine how opponents would react when John Heisman came out with the Tigers with what was an early form of a “hurry-up offense?” And, while the Heisman Trophy wasn’t a thing back then, it is now and having the man that the award is named after would go a long ways in some player winning it.

Cons: The travel schedule would be unbearable.

1914 Auburn Tigers

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

Pros: Having a defense at your disposal that didn’t allow a point all season? Yes, please.

Cons: Anytime you gave up even a field goal to an opponent, you’d feel like a total failure.

1957 Auburn Tigers

Pros: An amazing 18 players off this team eventually got drafted into the NFL. That’s a lot of talent for the 1950s.

Cons: The team had a postseason ban so we are sure the electronic version of the College Football Playoff committee would throw a hissy fit about letting Auburn in.

Pros: Bo Jackson. I repeat, Bo Jackson. Oh my heavenly days having Bo Jackson in a college football game would be the undoing of my social life which, at this moment, already is bad enough.

Cons: The inability to schedule Miami 12 times for the season to take it out on the Hurricanes and the pollsters for fraudulently stealing a national title away from the Tigers.

1997 Auburn Tigers

Pros: Okay, this one is just personal to me because I would absolutely love to have Dameyune Craig at quarterback and Takeo Spikes at linebacker.

Cons: Terry Bowden would somehow take credit for each win.

2004 Auburn Tigers

Pros: Probably the best overall team in Auburn history, you’d have Jason Campbell, Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown in the backfield and a defense that was some of the hardest-hitting guys I have ever seen in a Tigers uniform. Dear Lord, this team was amazing.

Cons: The people at EA Sports probably would figure out a way for this team to never get its shot at the national title and put in a bug.

2010 Auburn Tigers

John Reed-USA TODAY Sports

Pros: Cam Newton at quarterback? Check. Nick Fairley along the defensive line? Check. A freshman Michael Dyer putting up yards in large numbers on the ground? Check.

Cons: Do we really want to mess with perfection?

2012 Auburn Tigers

John Reed-USA TODAY Sports

Pros: It would be the same as taking over Rice and trying to build the Owls into a national title threat.

Cons: Absolutely none. One SEC win and you do better than this team did.

2013 Auburn Tigers

John Reed-USA TODAY Sports

Pros: Running the hurry-up, no-huddle in all its glory and freshness would provide nightmares for opposing defenses as Nick Marshall fakes out yet another defender for a wide-open touchdown run.

Cons: Georgia might have finally learned how to knock down a pass and Alabama might have finally found a kicker.
