LMAO at that Josh Normal Cover...doubt he will grace the cover. I agree with the peyton Manning cover since he retired with style and the curse wont be there to further EA bad track record with cover curses...unless Manning chokes on said coors light, or slips on a spilled coors light and hurts himself. LOL

Another good candidate would of course be the NFC MVP Cam Newton, but he wont because his post SB mess with press. But maybe.

Marshawn Lynch for the same reason as Peyton

I would also put the Luke Kuechly and Watt in there as a legit cover. Kuechly especially since he was WAAAAAAAY more valuable to the panthers than Norman and consistently puts up pro bowl numbers where as Norman just now is relevant in his late age

Think it's cam! Hopefully ESPN is a bigger part of the presentation this year

Wouldn't be amazed if Peyton was on the legacy edition for PS3/360 and Cam on PS4/X1

Definitely wanna see what the gameplay focus was this year. It's the first year I actually have no idea what they could try to work on. Not that the game doesn't need major work on the field, but this is the first year that there's no elephant in room as far as gameplay. Well besides the usually request for realistic animations and ai on offense and defense.

ESPN has been doing cover reveals for Madden for awhile, so i wouldn't read too much into them hosting this. They have had specials on the cover vote and even had the game show Madden Challenge.

Maybe its Peyton...Kind of like Kobe being on 2k next year.

I use to be so excited about the first announcement of Madden. Idk the excitement isn't there I'll wait and see tho before I completely write off the madden series.

I'm hoping for better line play and the removal of tied animations between the CB/WR. I would like to see JJ Watt grace the cover. Was a supporter of Cam's until his post SB press conference disaster.
