Hillis Ahead of Vick For Madden NFL 12 Cover

[CRMosier_LM]

God knows you could make.a highlight reel off of him blasting lbs and dbs, even injuring a couple that tried to hit him high... Not to mention the 1 handed catches, finger tip catches... The 5 defenders he hurdles going down field.

I was thinking the same thing when I heard it was between those two. I wasn't actually following this non-sense but some pieces of info u just can't ignore.

Hillis would definitely be a marketing nightmare for EA IF he actually does win and EA doesn't "shift" a few numbers. Heh...

It will only affect sales numbers from very-casual, first time, and kids. Older(21+), hardcore, or madden fans it wont matter. To us it doesnt matter. But for a kid it might.
Honestly in my opinion, it should have been Rodgers this year then Hillis next year. Another great year and possible playoffs(doubt it with the schedule, but you never know) Hillis will be a household name.

At least the Madden curse can't effect the Browns since they already are cursed.

EA is usually historically predictable...since Mark Ingram a RB is on the cover of the NCAA game, expect a RB on the Madden cover, hence Hillis. That's just what EA does.

Maybe they could both lose. Vick bc he's Vick and Hillis bc he's swine.

Hillis is what John Madden himself would call "just a football player."

I hope he wins..... Madden needs something fresh. We've already had Vick on the cover.

Re: Hillis Ahead of Vick For Madden NFL 12 Cover

I don't understand how Hillis would be a marketing nightmare? What is it that he can't do that Vick or Rodgers could, and how would it effect the sales of the game ultimately? Heck, even if Vick made the cover and some people didn't buy the game because he's on the cover, it shouldn't hurt EA sales really all that much. Less than 1% of the market would be that population.

No way Hillis is on the cover. Trust me. Wouldn't be a good marketing choice in general for EA. Expect Vick to be on the cover.

Really? I would much rather market Hillis than Vick. Vick is still a PR nightmare and Hillis (if he wins) earned the votes to win...EA will not have any issues marketing Hillis. Dude is a human highlight reel-Jumping over people and through them.

Re: Hillis Ahead of Vick For Madden NFL 12 Cover

The reason it would bother me is it will add to the Hillis Hype Machine. I'm tired of seeing and hearing about him.

Since when? Since March Madness. Wow.
