Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete Up For Vote Again - 32 Player Bracket Viewable Now

The Madden NFL 12 cover athlete will be chosen, via a 32 player bracket style voting system. Kotaku has the scoop.

Click here, to view all of the Madden NFL 12 cover candidates, which includes "The 12th Man" for the Seahawks.

Quote:

"Last year, EA Sports held a three-way voting competition for the Madden NFL 11 cover, which Brees won easily. The bracket idea is a shrewd move, coming at a time when much of the United States is consumed by picking brackets for the NCAA basketball tournament. EA Sports also needs a little more of a spark - and a long-lasting, visible campaign reminding fans that Madden NFL 12 will release as planned - as an off-putting labor dispute between NFL players and owners wears on."

I'm guessing this is the supposed "big news". The video coming out today will probably be talking about it.

None of the links in the article are working yet, but I just saw this article on Kotaku.

beat me to it. Just wanted to post.
According to adembroski's comment saturday the trailer would be reassuring for us
OSers while this cover tourney announcement is again aimed at the general public.
Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer for the trailer.

Re: Madden 12 Cover Player Tournament

I couldnt even imagine 32 players to be in a tournament for voting. I would think 8 at the most would be best....

@Roadman...Is there a trailer this week or are you talking about the teaser?

According to adembroski's comment yesterday where he said something to the effect of OSers would also be reassured with the announcement, I think we'll get some more info than just the standard cover athlete selection though... Hopefully...

That's my interpretation as well...

I'm guessing one player from each team will be available for the voting. There are only a few that will have a genuine chance to win but from a marketing perspective to go with the March Madness theme and not leaving out anyone's favorite team it makes sense.
