    Re: Voting For NCAA Football 14 Cover is Down to Denard Robinson vs. Ryan Swope

    I'd rather have either one of these guys on the cover than relive someone like Jared Zabransky again. At least both of these guys are going to get drafted.

I'm not sure how this could generate negative press, or be a controversy. JMO
        Before you read my retort, I just want everyone to know that I'd have no issue having Pat on the cover of any NCAA or Madden game and I regard every person who has ever died for our country as a hero.

        That said, here is what I'm going to say:

        There would be controversy imo if Tillman was on the cover of NCAA or Madden. Tillman was killed by friendly fire and that fact was covered up by many people, including the Army, for quite awhile. He was also against the war and an atheist. Those things rub many people in this country the wrong way. Like "huge protest on release day" wrong way. EA is better off just remembering him as an unlockable player or as a trading card in Madden unless they want to have publicity for something other than their game. He's a hero, but a complicated hero in many eyes.

        If EA is going to be patriotic, just let Army/Navy/Air Force either share a cover, or make all 3 teams have a cover to themselves in the same year, similar to what 2k did with NBA 2k12.

          What was the point of saying that?

            How does KU have anything to do with Jared Zabransky being an awful cover athlete?

              I'd take Zabransky over Brian Johnson (PS3) and Mark Sanchez (PSP) from NCAA 10. At least I remember the great Fiesta Bowl trickery, which is more good than I can say about Johnson or Sanchez.

                I think this is so silly.
                It's like if America voted and whoever had the most wins.

                Isn't that what the Senate is for?
                Equal representation?

                Oregon State has no chance in this...

                  Totally agree with you on Pat Tillman. No disrespect for what he did but the conditions of how he died and all the press would not be good for EA. I think justifying whether he's a hero for going to war is a topic for another forum. I like PBR idea for a johnny football and archie griffin cover if manziel is able to win the heisman again which I doubt.

                          It's all the bitter buckeye, notre dame and state fans who never have had/ever will have a cover athlete that are voting against Denard.

                          One way or another, my cover will have Denard on it since I make them with Michigan players for every game.
                          I was going to suggest that you put classic pics of UM beating Ohio State on the cover but then you'd only have 2 video games over the last 12 years.

                            Then there won't even be a vote if he has another great season. They'll just put him on the cover and be done with it. Especially if he wins another Heisman.
