        Yeah, but franchise mode was pretty great that year. I think it actually won awards mostly because of Owner Mode if I'm not mistaken.

            EA will not and I repeat WILL NOT be doing this again EVER.

            Hillis definitely wouldn't have been their 1st choice for the cover.

This was a brilliant marketing strategy by EA. It doesn't matter to them who won. If it did they wouldn't have been in the original field.

                Also don't underestimate the number of Browns fans. Add that to the anti-Vick fans and there you go.

                Amen, in fact it really couldn't have worked out much better from EA's POV. They generated a substantial amount of buzz merely by having Vick in the running without having to face the firestorm of criticism they would have received if he had actually wound up on the cover. That's a win-win.

                    PETA backlash would have been too strong. Smart move by EA.

                        Which is why I believe the voting was manipulated.

                        And we just saw how the NBA handled backlash from a social group. RE: Kobe situation.

                        I can't believe that Hillis won this fairly. That isn't saying anything about his power as a runner. But in terms of a popularity contest, I just can't view this as a legit competition.

                            If it sells like Hillis was voted for than they definitely will. I just dont know if enough browns fans can carry the weight without the vick-haters come august lol.

You know about him, that he is one in 7, but you'd have a hard time recognizing the drawf if it didnt have a name...sleepy, grumpy...etc....

                                I am happy for Hillis, he seems like a nice guy, but the jokes on EA
                                You have no clue what you are talking about. The end result doesn't matter. The tournament has EVERYONE talking about the game. My whole news feed on facebook is flooded with Madden cover statuses...it doesn't hurt I live in Cleveland, but still, EA did what they set out to do.

                                    If EA really doesn't care who is on the cover, which I kinda think is a stretch IMO although a great point about all the PR they got over this then they will have a bracket next year as well. If it was that successful for them to get this kinda coverage this early I don't see how they can pass it up when M13 rolls around.

                                    We'll just have to wait and see.
