Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

Not exactly. You said you've never bought a game based on the cover. I responded talking broader than just a madden cover when your statement sounded that way. Covers matter. Maybe not so much for madden but they do.

Ah, ok, I see, your were going broader than Madden. CD and DVD's probably not so much for me. I don't buy the music I like because of the CD cover and DVD's for movies, if a particular movie peaks my interest, I may rent it.

Food is about the only advertising that might affect me that I can think of.

Bottom line, it's up to each individual if they allow cover art to influence their purchasing power. Not me deal, though.

Well when your the only NFL game being sold you can get away with anybody on the cover. I never knew about this guy peyton hills untill today. I never payed any attention to browns games. I hope he is able to survive the curse.

Honestly, didn't ever know who the hell Hillis was before this.

I find it hilarious that two New York fans have no idea who he is. This is because New York is the only city worth paying attention to right?

Guy wasn't even a top ten rusher last year. Was 11th, 6th in TD's.

Just dumb. Least deserving player ever, it's not even close.

The OTHER Peyton, who plays in Indianapolis, hasn't even been on a cover.

It's just silly. It doesn't make me mad, I'm not "hatin'", it's just dumb and silly. It's a joke. Being on that cover was something you earned. Being a pretty-good player for one season wasn't enough.

Totally different voting process this years means you can throw everything about the previous covers out the window.

This years wasn't about most deserving, it more about who is most popular.

Dont blame EA, blame the fans who voted for him.
I dont think Peyton Manning wants to be on the cover of Madden. He was on Gameday 03.
I dont have a problem with Hillis on the cover. I never bought a game for a cover. I wasnt going to buy the game anyway. If Franchise and Superstar mode is tremendously improved, I will consider buying it

What's so funny, I mean really, he is nobody special, also agree with others, he shouldn"t be on the cover, sorry.

Blame all the voters, then.

Hillis, a nobody. What a joke. Well hope the game isn't a joke.

I can't believe Hillis is on the cover. I bet half of the casual fans in the country have never watched him play.

You would think it EA would be better off to use a player from a popular team (Steelers, Cowboys, Giants, Jets) instead of a pretty good player from on of the worst franchises in the League over the last decade or so.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

I don't think 2K sports is planing to sign Matt Booner for be the cover guy of NBA 2K12 anytime soon.

They should. That dude WALKED to the arena and signed autographs along the way when he played for the Raptors. Dunno about with the Spurs.

I guess you guys can keep crying if you want, but it's not going to change anything. Peyton Hillis is on the cover because of the fans.

[AlDavis] Peyton Hillis is a great playah. Deal with it.[AlDavis]

OSUFan, you are right

Spoiler
