Madden 10 Cover Athlete: The Contenders

[RaychelSnr]

Hindsight is 20/20. Last April, a re-retired Brett Favre seemed like a good cover athlete choice for Madden 2009. The curse would be broken, or so EA thought. After a month of speculation, Brett Favre returned to play for the New York Jets. To describe it as a lackluster return would be an understatement.

Favre had 22 touchdowns and 22 interceptions, but his play down the stretch cost the Jets a few winnable games and the Jets were toast. All the while, the Dolphins and former Jets QB Chad Pennington were busy winning the AFC East. The Jets were ruined, Brett Favre’s career had a lame punctuation, and the Madden Curse had struck again.

Another one bites the dust.

The Team Photo of the 0-16 Detroit Lions should be the new cover

Out of the choices that they've given us, if they really follow the Fight For Every Yard slogan, I still say it should be Brandon Jacobs or AD.

I have money on Peterson getting injured and never being the same after appearing on the cover.

Going to be either Polumalu or Fitz

[Mr.305]

it should be fitzgerald. . he is a beast and if it wasnt for a defense dat sucked he would be the superbowl mvp!!

but me being a fan of da U i would love to see da best safety in the game ED REED get the cover

[Shinyhubcaps]

I think it's Adrian Peterson. Two screenshots in the tech blog were taken at the Metrodome (one with a camera man, and one with A.P.). All other screens thus far have been with the Steelers and Cardinals, with the exception of one of Matt Hasselbeck.

Would it kill them to put some linemen on the friggin' cover?

That's not gonna sell copies, my man.

Mom takes her son to get a new game:

"Look, Timmy. This one has that guy from the Packers on the front. That one has some fat guy. Let's get the one with the Packer guy on the front."

You laugh, because, on these boards, it seems so outrageous to think that it would happen. But it happens more often than you think.

How does a kid pick out which movie he wants to rent? Based on what's on the cover.

Yes. It would in the most literal sense of the phrase, "Kill Them".

[deaduck]

Am I to believe that sales of Madden would drop if the cover had the Cardinals D-line clashing with the Steeler O ?

I don't think the average gaming fan is that fickle.

[football5680]

[njd.aitken]

Kurt Warner!

Not, Fitz or Big Ben though.
