Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

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

Peyton Hillis is nowhere near popular than Vick. If he was he would've been in the top votes for Pro-Bowl. Be real now man....lol

I'm being real.

He was most popular with the voters for whatever reasons. I don't know if it was because Vick was on the cover once already(that's my reason) ,Vick's past, or rally the vote for Hillis in the state of Ohio or Arkansas. Another factor is maybe Eagles fans didn't want the curse.

So, the person that won, for whatever reasons, won by majority and popular voting.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

Who cares I'm just glad the cover vote is done and now we can get to the details. Vick or Hillis, regardless I'm buying the game at midnight and playing the crap out of it.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

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

Well I've never heard of him, therefore he shouldn't be on the cover.

What a great attitude to have. You do realize that PEOPLE were able to VOTE for whomever they wanted to VOTE for. This isn't about who is special, or deserving, or any way you want to try and rationalize it in your head. The PEOPLE voted and Hillis won. Get over it.

The Voting was manipulated because people were able to vote multiple times. 13 million different people didn't actually vote on the Madden cover player.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

This wasn't a popularity contest. It can't be a popularity contest when large pockets of fans are voting against their players because of a curse.

I don't know what the hell it was, but popularity contest was the wrong description.

Damn, some of you guys are just so mad.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

Thank goodness Vick didn't win, although I wouldn't have minded seeing him tear his MCL when the curse struck...

I wasn't allowed to vote on any one matchup more than once.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

I wasn't allowed to vote on any one matchup more than once.

People did find ways to do multiple votes on one computer....

Peoples: For the record, in case you didnt know, there are a couple ways to vote various times.

-You can cast a vote in each internet browser
-Each time you go into private browsing in firefox or incognito in chrome, you can cast a vote

So, in other words...you can vote as many times as you want. I have a feeling we're gonna have to do a good amount of that to beat Vick.

SO...KEEP VOTING!!!

i just voted like 15 straight times for Hillis with opera private tab. lol

Hey guys, been a while since i've posted here but been visiting everyday. Just a little tip if you open your browser in "Private Browsing" you can vote as many times as you want in a day. Just have to Open in private browsing, vote, go back to google or wherever then back to madden vote page. Sometimes you have to close Private Browsing then re-open.

Firefox: Tools>Start Private Browsing (or Ctrl+Shift+P)
IE: Safety>InPrivate (or Ctrl+Shift+P)
Chrome: File>New Incognito Window (Ctrol+Shift+N)
Safari: Safari>Private Browsing

1 million DIFFERENT people did not vote on the final Madden 12 cover vote.

I'm sure Vick had people voting multiple times for him as well, but there must be more nerds in Cleveland!!!

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

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.

In this voting competition for the Madden cover he was more popular.

Outside of that it's not even close.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

This thread is funny to me.

The people saying they have never heard of Hillis obviously aren't NFL or football fans, so it wouldn't have mattered who was on the cover. Even if you "claim" to have never heard of Hillis, he was on highlight films with ESPN and NFL Network all season, so stop either trolling for a response or proving you don't watch football at all.

The people who are mad, seriously, it's a cover? Who cares. Yes, I'm pumped and excited about Hillis on the cover, but come on now. That really upsets you? A player "you've never heard of" is on the cover?

And Cleveland has more "nerds" voting? LOL, okay. Sorry that the Cleveland fans were excited about this and voted as much as they could. EA or ESPN never once claimed 13 million people voted, just said there were 13 million votes. I don't care how much Cleveland supposedly fixed the vote. Look at MLB All-Star voting, it's fixed every single year with teams stuffing ballot boxes, but all of a sudden Cleveland (of all cities) organizes a voting effort to get our first athlete on a videogame in 15 years since Manny was on a game back in the 90's.

Sorry for disgracing the Madden cover I guess, but I'm happy as hell about it.

[mrmass413]

im a vick fan and i really dont care who won. hillis was a monster last year he deserved it. everybody take some ridaline and relax a cover is a cover nothing more
