Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete Voting - Round 3 Results, Final Four Set

[SmashMan]

Re: Round 4

Hmmm, I need more details. I can't say that I believe that Seattle's 12th man or a number of the other players were ever a viable option to be on the cover of such a prestigious (using that term loosely) videogame.

They're not, but that doesn't mean it's rigged. Some of the matchups were clearly slanted, but I believe the voting itself would be on the up and up.

While Aaron Rodgers should get my vote, peyton hillis is too good to pass up.

We all know Hillis loses to Rodgers...right?

Re: ESPN Madden Cover Semifinals is now open - Round 4

Rodgers will win but, I'm going to vote for Hillis show the guy a little support.

If Hillis won I think that would put to rest is it rigged or isn't it. I must say it was fun. Of course it wouldn't be fun if we found out it was rigged but, we don't know so it was fun.

Doubt EA do this again next year though.

Well 4 hours into round 4 they said Hillis was killing A.R.... Not sure how many cores were cast

Will people stop it about Hillis. You all know good and darn well that he's not going to be on the cover.

Can he beat Rodgers? Highly doubtful.

Can he be on the NFL Madden cover "this year"? Impossible I say.

Don't hate! The only one left that SHOULD be on the.cover is A.R. but I'm still voting for Hillis!

Hillis has a better shot than Peterson IMO.

looking at it from the perspective of a Browns fan, I understand, but having Hillis on the cover doesn't make much sense.

Hillis has had one good year, and the Browns didn't even make the playoffs. Peterson has been a household name for several years now.

Sometimes it doesn't come down to stats, sometimes it comes down to popularity. ie, All-Star Baseball voting.

Yup, and the story this year in MN was Favre, not Peterson. He felt invisible this year, without looking at stats, in the glare of the end of Favre's career. Unlike pro bowl voting this will be 100% fans, and they are fickle 'what have you done for me lately' bastards. That's why Rodgers has gone from pro bowl snub to the final four in this contest after going to the Super Bowl.

Oh lol, I don't think hillis deserves it by any means, but the dude is an absolute blast to watch. He plays the game how all players should play it. Peterson is great, and Vick had an excellent year (til teams learned he can't handle heavy pressure).
I think Rodgers truly deserves it, Super Bowl MVP, and he was under so much pressure following Favre in Green Bay.
