This is why he was chosen.

Weren't they going to allow fans to vote for the pose Peyton was shot in?

I think both these covers are fugly, sorry Browns fans but even when you win, you still lose.

As for Faulk, they should've just bronzed the original cover, I think that was a better shot.

# 23 BlackJack_Williams @ 05/31/11 12:34 PM

Cool but no thanks. $90 for nothing that adds true value to the game.

# 24 Gosens6 @ 05/31/11 12:39 PM

$90 for that? Sorry but a lot of people will be passing on that.

The Hillis cover looks just fine to me, I don't see why everyone is hating on it.

Ok. Still seems lackadaisical to me.

90 dollars for the HOF edition? C'mon EA. Really?

# 27 poopoop @ 05/31/11 12:55 PM

They're putting a solid gold card in one of the copies? Wow just like Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I'm in.

# 28 SouthernBrick @ 05/31/11 01:14 PM

It's ok. Could be better.

Not really diggin' all to much.

I think he wears it because it makes him look like a bulldog...since he plays for the browns

# 30 PantherBeast_OS @ 05/31/11 01:50 PM

Well right now I'm thinking real hard about it and all. Is it worth the extra 30?? Might be and then again it might not. I will think on it for a while before going after it.

# 31 Von Dozier @ 05/31/11 01:52 PM

Hillis cover looks weird. Something is awkward about that pose and his oddly sad eyes looking at the camera.

Faulk looks like he's made out of chocolate.

They expect people to believe that Marshall Faulk hand-signed each of the 125k cards for the HOF Edition?

Please.

# 35 mirrored32 @ 05/31/11 02:35 PM

You're kidding me, right?

# 37 aloncho11 @ 05/31/11 02:51 PM

Personally, I like the original cover more than the Hall of fame edition.

# 38 TDenverFan @ 05/31/11 02:57 PM

What's the team platinum pack? I don'd get it from the description...

# 39 TDenverFan @ 05/31/11 02:57 PM

Also I bet Faulk did sign all of those cards... it's not really that hard, seeing as one signature takes 3-4 seconds

# 40 TrapStar215 @ 05/31/11 03:01 PM

He didn't sign ANY! He sign his sig, they scanned it and printed it on the cover.
