Madden 12 cover revealed.


Recommended Posts

that just shouts lousy game. Neg me if you want but Madden hasn't been really enjoyable since Mcnabb was on the Cover for the PS2.

The other thing I thought of looking at the cover, was "Who is that?" Of course I know its Peyton Hillis but I think the average fan will be like, Who the F is this? It looks like a tecmo bowl cover.

I'm still convinced they doctored the voting and Vick really won, but they wanted to put Hillis on the cover. Hopefully, the curse will strike the one who actually got more votes.

I agree with that, too. ESPECIALLY after the numbers. It was like 74-36 as far as percents go. No chance Vick's fanboys would allow that much of a difference.

However, I'm glad Hillis in on the cover, and I really hope he smacks the curse in the face. He would be one of two or three to avoid the curse.

New cover athlete same tired game play. Since they acquired both the NFL and Players license Madden has continued to regress due to lack of competition (and originality on the programmers part). Consumers would be better served having a choice when it comes to choosing these games thus putting the onus on these programmers to bring out their best every year (It will be interesting to see if EA can beat the monopoly suit against them later this summer).

Exactly. I received an e-mail a month ago or so from EA about the lawsuit telling me what to do I wanted to be included in the class action lawsuit. I was too lazy to do it, but I really hope they do. They are even lazier than I am - and getting paid far too much to do so!

Have any of you looked at the new features? Franchise mode has been completely revamped. Some of my favorite new features:

-Real rookies in the draft for ten years (not the actual college players, but they will have real face pictures and you have to scout them for real instead of just getting ratings. You will get their round projection, but not their ratings).

-Team personalities will make the draft a more surprising experience. Raiders will make speed picks often, and needs won't be automatically drafted.

-Player roles make a big return. Certain players will falter in playoffs, certain ones will shine. Certain players will be better or worse in certain situations. Leaders will have impact on players around them.

-Graphics get a new, more dynamic look.

EA let the fans vote online who would grace this years cover earlier this year (many of us Falcon fans voted against Matt Ryan being on the cover for obvious reasons....) and it came down between Hillis and Vick. Hillis may not be well known but, his blue collar ethic and bruising running style made him a fan favorite in Cleveland.

I would never vote against Matt Ryan being on the cover. I think it'd be good to see a Falcon on the cover. I think that Peyton Hillis is the perfect fit for a Madden Curse cover, though. A one season wonder. Too many of those types have been on the cover, or athletes that put together a few good years but play a bruiser style that would lead to a short career/big injuries (Shaun Alexander, Michael Vick).
