    Re: Hillis Ahead of Vick For Madden NFL 12 Cover

    EA blew this and they know it. Sorry but Peyton Hillis is not a house hold name. Cover players are usually establish stars and not one big year.

    EA should have had Cribbs from Cleveland who is a known pro bowl player

    Having Vick would suck because he is a POS but having Hillis is putting an unknown to the average football fan who is going to say WHO?

        It's funny how that works because I've been tired of hearing about the Vick hype machine for almost a decade now. Not that it's going to end just because he didn't make the cover of a video game but, still.... Plus, it's always nice when you pit good against evil and the good prevails.

        The game will sell a lot less because of who's on the cover.
        I think I've heard it all now.

        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.
        And here I thought the guy who said that Luol Deng was the Bulls best player was going to be the most absurd thing that I read today.

          I don't have a problem with hillis on the cover but having the cleveland browns on the cover there one of the worst franchises in sports but have loyal fans. Maybe if the browns had made playoffs it would be cool. whats next nba 2k12 lets have a vote for cover athlete its down to the final 2 Allen Iverson vs. Yao Ming.

            Re: Hillis Ahead of Vick For Madden NFL 12 Cover

            This is way off IMO.....the cover athlete I thought was supposed to be one of the elite guys in the NFL...your Brady's and Mannings and Petersons etc. Hillis? Please....I love the guy and his attitude and all but for God sake he was 11th in the NFL in rushing. 11th!!!!! Nice year....but a 4.4 average is...well...average in the NFL......how Rodgers doesn't get it is mind boggling. He had 1000 yards passing the POST SEASON!!!!!! He's now in the top 4 of Qb's in the NFL and you could argue for him being number 1!!!!
            this whole thing reminds me of baseball's all star game where the fans vote for who they want to see.....not the most deserving. Sorry...in my book Hillis on the cover is a big minus......


            If you had to pick, gun to your head, who is going to have the best year next year and the best career...Hillis or Rodgers????? No brainer.....Rodgers all the way.

              Has nothing to do with who is better, it has to do with who the fans wanted to see on the cover. Hillis beat Rodgers head to head, Vick is next. Simple as that.

                      In regards to seeing ads with Hillis....This isn't 2001 where the cover athlete is the center of the marketing strategy.

                      They will show a trailer and the guy will say "EA Sports" like the past 5 years and show hillis on the cover...Not a big deal at all.

                        The voting thing was dumb to me, and now we see why.

                        It's stupid Hillis will be on the cover, should be a star player.

                        LoL @ EA.

                          Why is it dumb? Its how EA wanted it. To let the fans choose. Its brilliant marketing actually. And I really don't think Hillis is stupid.

                            What's mind boggling about it? Hillis crushed Rodgers in the votes.

                            It's about who the fans want, after all... Who buys the game???

                            Why are people acting like the Madden cover is an MVP-like honor?

                              Exactly, look at all the attention this is getting and he hasn't even won yet lol. People are discussing this on music forums and whatnot even. EA knows what they're doing when it comes to marketing

                                It's sad that this amount of people don't view Hillis as a stud (not surprising though).

                                He hasn't had a bad season since entering the league except for the year he met Josh McDaniels. Good for him, I hope he wins.
