      Does it really matter about who's on a cover? Just asking.

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.
        It isn't a marketing nightmare, it's just people being overdramatic.

            I agree with the cynics. I believe EA will artificially boost the voting for Vick to win because a cover featuring Hillis will sell a lot less (because of casual gamers/"fans") than a cover featuring Vick will.

              This would be illegal, so they won't. It will not sell a lot less because of one player over another being on the cover. For those casual gamers/"fans" the most important thing on the cover is the NFL logo and the word MADDEN.

                    Wow, what a joke.

                    Why didn't Julious Jones get the cover back in 2004? He had stats comparable to Hillis.

                    Imagine the confusion on the average persons face when they see ads with this incredibly pedestrian player on the cover? A marketing disaster.
                    Don't look back too long and don't look too far ahead.

                      They are running a contest based on the results, this precludes any meddling with the results. Adembroski confirmed as much in one of the other threads on this topic.

                        Hillis would definitely be a marketing nightmare for EA IF he actually does win and EA doesn't "shift" a few numbers. Heh...
                        I'm going to have to disagree with that.

                        I can already hear the news stories.

                        Teaser: "and up next, you'll never guess who's on the cover of this year's Madden video game..."

                        Story: "he beat out Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers, rising stars Jamal Charles and Matt Ryan, and the wildly popular Michael Vick..."

                        The theme? A return to hard-nosed, true grit, just plain FOOTBALL

                        What would the theme be for a Vick cover game?

                        Besides, America loves the Cinderella stories

                            Look again perhaps? Hillis had a better year than Julius Jones has ever had. With 1600 total yards from scrimmage and 13 TDs, JJ doesn't even come close to those figures in any year of his career.

                            There's nothing about this that is a marketing disaster. How many threads on how many forums are discussing this, how many news articles have covered this? It's already a marketing success no matter who wins.

                            Incredibly pedestrian indeed.

                              What game? Its not like he had 1 good game. If you are a football fan than you know who Peyton Hillis is. Its not like he is getting hundreds of thousands in blind votes.

                              Vick did have a great year, but the fans had the call and they chose Hillis.

                                This is what I said before my thread was erroneously closed. Yet this thread is the same so go figure.
