Fans to Pick Madden NFL 13 Cover from a Field of 64 Players

I don't think it really makes much of a difference in the 'interesting and fun' department, but hey, it's up to the fans to vote for those players.

True, personal preference I suppose.

Ugh. Not a fan of this. Just choose someone, EA.

We're not going back to that.

This is too much publicity for the Madden brand during the summer, a down period for the brand.

Actually, what EA should do is put John Madden back on the cover, or just have the NFL logo, with a tagline like: Madden NFL 13: Back to Basics or something like that to symbolize the company's efforts at re-shaping the Madden Franchise by focusing on core gameplay issues.

Don't both ways announce the winner near the draft, which is spring time? I saw Favre on Letterman in April and Hillis in NY city during draft weekend. Before Favre, Fitz was on Fallon in April.

The fan voting took place during March madness last year.

Last summer it was virtual football with the NFL players.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Either way, too much publicity to throw away.

I'm torn here. I would love a Niner to rep the cover of Madden. Like Patrick Willis, but there is no way in hell I would want that aura/curse/loadofcrap around him all season.

Let's face it Tebow is going to win. Although Megatron, Gronk, Newton, Suggs, Cruz, and Steve Smith are all deserving.

I was more of a fan on waiting to see who EA had picked. Regardless if I was happy or frustrated by the decision.
