Madden 12 Cover Details Coming Later This Month
Published March 4th, 2011

With all the hype about the NCAA Football 12 cover, we knew it would only be a matter of time until we got wind of the Madden 12 cover details, but we could be getting them sooner than usual.
Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers is one of many great candidates for the Madden cover this year.
In an email correspondence with an EA Spokesperson, GoMadden has been informed that details regarding the Madden NFL 12 cover will be discussed very soon, leaving some to wonder if the cover athlete will be voted upon by fans for the second year in a row.
A good case could be made that a willingness to discuss the Madden 12 cover sometime in March is a strong sign that a voting system will once again be implemented. EA has made it a trend over the last four years not to announce Madden’s cover athlete(s) until late April, with last year breaking the mold due in part to its Doritos “Change The Game” cover voting promotion. Financially, it makes sense as well for EA to bring fans and sponsors together for its annual cover announcement; why announce something for free, when you can make money doing it?
Facebook is a likely candidate for EA to take their cover announcement to. With NCAA Football owning nearly half a million fans on Facebook (and growing rapidly thanks to its new cover promotion), and EA’s continued push toward micro-transactions, it might be a good time for Madden NFL to start building up fans on its official Facebook page, which sits nearly one hundred thousand below its college brother right now.
