I wouldn't be at all surprised if they go with multiple cover athletes, either differing by console or on the same cover like they did with Madden 10.

If they did dual athletes for the cover, I would like to see both Demarcus Ware and Von Miller as the athletes. Demarcus Ware might be a biased choice but it still makes perfect sense. Those two guys struck the fear into QBS last year. I heard Cam Newton looks both ways before taking out the trash now.

I'm not excited about cover athletes, I just hope the trailer gives me something to look fwd. to, last years trailer with all the crazy one handed catches they showed turned me off in a big way.


Hoping sense there was no real theme of the season this year besides two teams with dominant defenses, that EA just worked on the overall game and not just focused on one side of the ball over the other.

Cover will be Cam, can almost guarantee it

Different type of risk. For better or worse, Lewis's situation was resolved and he was main stream acceptable by 2004. Von Miller's risk is a year long suspension for any failed test.

So glad there's no cover vote this year. That was starting to get so played out. I'll be watching 5/12/16 hoping to see if the sideline player models got any love (no more high socks for every player, players wearing their on field facemask, hopefully names on back of jerseys, etc..) Oh & of course I'll be looking for any gameplay improvements as well.
