Personally it wouldn't matter to me if there was no Cover player at all.

I was really surprised when they went all out for Favre in 09 as I really thought they would try and low ball it again this year.

I say go for the cheapest "rising star" they can find a la 08.
Have any proof of this? From everything Ive ever read, it was Tomlinson's choice not to be on the cover, that it had nothing to do with money. And why wouldn't VY's agent ask for the same amount that Tomlinson was asking for?

Guess I could have been more specific. The last six games he could not compete at a high level.

If John Madden found out EA was gonna tank his beloved Brett Favre from the cover of his game, he'd guillotine the whole company.

Madden loves 'Brett Favre, 'Brett Favre.
