    Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

    I am extremely relieved. I honestly wouldn't have bought M12 if Vick was on the cover, I think he is a total scum bag, always has been and probably always will be.

      As a Steeler fan, I can honestly say.... who cares. Its a cover. I don't care if the cover was Terrell Suggs urinating on a Terrible Towel aside Ray Lewis setting a Big Ben jersey on fire.... as long as the game is better than Madden 11, I'm a happy camper

        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.
        EG, there are a few reasons why people are upset.

        1. People know that when it came down to the final (Vick vs Hillis), people voted for Hillis more because people still can't get over what Vick did.

        2. How in the world is Hillis more popular than Aaron Rodgers who won the
        Super Bowl? Or even Clay Matthews? My wife hates football and barely watches it, but she knew who Clay Matthews was before the Super Bowl even started. When I told her that Hillis won the Madden cover, she's like "who?".

        Let's be real here, Vick didn't win because people are still holding a grudge and can't just let it go which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me because no one's life is perfect. Everyone has made a drastic mistake in their lives, but they want to continuously bash a man who is really trying to recover his life.

        It's really sad honestly.

          At the end of the day, does it really matter why or why didn't people vote for X or Y?
          Vick put himself in that predicament and he needs to live with it. Some people will never forgive him. Some people will.

          Don't blame the voters on how they feel one way or the other.

          Nobody knows for a fact why Hillis won or why Vick lost. It's all pure speculation.

          EG was dead on in his assessment. Truly, there are more important things in life than a cover on a game.

            If people were still so pissed at Vick, he never would have sniffed the finals.

              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

              Wasnt Peyton on the cover of Nfl fever?

              Vic: No Kenny, that's girl versus girl.
              Kenny: What's the difference?
              Vic: Well, in one, one girl wins. In the other....
              Kenny: Everyone wins?!?!

              Captain Tenneal: Get it on!

                  I voted for Vick...

                  Edit: Also, stop trolling Cleveland and Browns fans. We're not the crazed hicktown we're painted to be, just EXTREMELY passionate about our sports.

More people have been talking about Madden for the last month than they did all year last year. This has been all over twitter, facebook, radio, news, and OS. 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.
                        Absolutely. Don't forget about the Razorback fans. I like Vick alot but he never had a chance once it came between him and Hillis. A white boy who rushes for 1200 yards on the browns. He is a bruiser and you gotta love it.

                            Ya it's wack Mike Vick did not make it on there. No sweat we all make our own covers anyways right? Gratz to Peyton. Hell he might get a little more exposer now he is cover guy. The madden curse is more of a coincidence anyways in my opinion.
                            It aint my fault!!

                              If Hillis gets a cover, I best be seeing a Calvin Johnson cover in the near future.

                              Detroit doesn't get any love for covers of games. Not even the Wings with their success.
