Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis
Don't get me wrong, now. I love Vick. He's an amazing player, has a great redemption story, and I voted for him. And, congrats to Hillis. But... the whole match-up was kinda fishy to begin with.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis
Ray Lewis sold more copies than Vick's cover. Ray Lewis was closer to being outlawed by the NFL and a member of society than Vick was back then.I don't know how people say the cover athlete has little to no effect on sales.
Jordan is on the cover of NBA 2k11 and it's the highest selling sports title in the U.S. for more months than Madden has this year. Possibly selling more than Madden 11 overall for the year. Yeah, I know NBA 2K11 was great inside the cover but Jordan has an unbreakable following driven by nostalgia and the fact he is the GOAT.
Also, someone mentioned the cover with Vick during 2004 was one of the top 3 selling Maddens and you cannot deny Vick had a big following back then... he was a highlight machine.
Cover athletes still make a major impact on the sales of the game or is it more branding and what's in side the disk?
There is no proven theory either way.Comment

How is that good? The curse usually brings about change that wasn't there. Mostly injuries that make players have bad seasons they usually don't have. So Vick being on the cover probably would have brought the Eagles a Superbowl Trophy.“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis
Just 3 things to say here...
#1
If the cover athlete didn't matter, there wouldn't be 222 people on these forums right now(there has been under 100 99% of the time all week).
#2
If the cover athlete did't matter, then NBA 2k12 wouldn't have sold what it did. Just look what a face like Jordan did for 2k.
#3
I am happy for Hillis. I think he deserved it as much as anyone.Comment
