Hillis Ahead of Vick For Madden NFL 12 Cover

[kirby314]

I don't have a problem with hillis on the cover but having the cleveland browns on the cover there one of the worst franchises in sports but have loyal fans. Maybe if the browns had made playoffs it would be cool. whats next nba 2k12 lets have a vote for cover athlete its down to the final 2 Allen Iverson vs. Yao Ming.

This is way off IMO.....the cover athlete I thought was supposed to be one of the elite guys in the NFL...your Brady's and Mannings and Petersons etc. Hillis? Please....I love the guy and his attitude and all but for God sake he was 11th in the NFL in rushing. 11th!!!!! Nice year....but a 4.4 average is...well...average in the NFL......how Rodgers doesn't get it is mind boggling. He had 1000 yards passing the POST SEASON!!!!!! He's now in the top 4 of Qb's in the NFL and you could argue for him being number 1!!!!
this whole thing reminds me of baseball's all star game where the fans vote for who they want to see.....not the most deserving. Sorry...in my book Hillis on the cover is a big minus......


If you had to pick, gun to your head, who is going to have the best year next year and the best career...Hillis or Rodgers????? No brainer.....Rodgers all the way.

Has nothing to do with who is better, it has to do with who the fans wanted to see on the cover. Hillis beat Rodgers head to head, Vick is next. Simple as that.

Does the phrase "the lesser of two evils" mean anything to you?

Like I said...it's MLB all star voting ad nauseum

In regards to seeing ads with Hillis....This isn't 2001 where the cover athlete is the center of the marketing strategy.

They will show a trailer and the guy will say "EA Sports" like the past 5 years and show hillis on the cover...Not a big deal at all.

The voting thing was dumb to me, and now we see why.

It's stupid Hillis will be on the cover, should be a star player.

LoL @ EA.
