      So does that mean we should expect the running game to be overpowering this year?

        Vick isn't everyone's favorite person in the world. If people were basing their votes on the curse, Vick would've gotten a lot of votes for that reason.

        My theory is that people voted for Hillis because they thought it would be hilarious for a player the likes of Hillis to actually be on the Madden cover.

        It's funny when you think about it.

          If you did not know who Peyton Hillis is you need to watch more football.
          Just shows that not all football gamers are actual football fans.

            Nothing wrong with that at all. And being a fan of NFL is not contingent on knowing any particular player.

              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).
              People are here because info is being released all week long for both of EA's football games and a good number of people knew today was the unveiling of the cover athlete.

              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.
              Any time you put one of the best players of all time on the cover, you probably will get a slight boost in sales, but NBA 2k11 was hands down the best sports game this generation of consoles in my opinion and that is probably why it sold so well.

              I am happy for Hillis. I think he deserved it as much as anyone.
              Yes, Hillis was very deserving of this and I am very happy he got it.

                i for 1 am glad that hillis won, i voted for him since the get go.

                But to everybody saying that this was bad for EA because the cover matters alot it, does not.

                people by madden because its the only pro football game out. It's been lousy for a while and people are still buying it just because.

                And stop brnging up 2k11 and the Jordan cover. It sold great because it is an amazing game, possibly the best of the year, and because again it was the only basketball game period.

                  The content of a game cover does matter. Just saying.

                  Not taking a stab at Hillis but overall the cover content does matter across the board for ALL things.

                        Vick already had a cover. EA was begging for controversy just by having him in the voting. Controversy sells all the time. I am sure EA knew what they were doing from the beginning.

                        When I say sells I mean it gets people talking. The best way to promote something is to get people talking.

                          I'm not denying that because it's the only game I'm playing consistently. But I live in Florida and I know a good amount of people who bought NCAA 11 only because Tebow was on the cover. Those type of people are out there.

                            I don't buy this at all.

                            I've never bought a video game because of the cover art.

Either way, the way it has been on all forums madden has had that racial tone to it for a while. Its nothing to get bent out of shape over, like the many who flocked to burn vick at the cross once he made the finals, im sure they're safe in there glass houses right now and there pets looking and feeling healthier than ever since they have been rescued from the ASPCA.

                              Im happy for hillis winning, the cover isnt the reason I buy my games anyway, its whats on the disc when I put it into my console that matters.
                              I have no issues what so ever with Vick... I enjoy watching him play and hope he stays up. I voted for Vick every round... Until the finals. I wanted Hillis cuz I'm a browns fan and Hillis put on a toughness clinic every week. If you go nationwide I'm sure there are more browns fans then eagles fans... Browns Backers is the biggest organized pro football fan organization in the US and is even in several countries around the world. If Lu go off of that alone, Hillis would get more votes.
