They should just put both on the cover if AP wins this it will be anticlimax. I think the result are fudged I don't see Hillis situation happening again.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote Championship: Barry Sanders vs. Adrian Peterson

I don't see how these running backs got more votes than multiple Superbowl winning Qb's, Jerry Rice, and Dion Sanders, it don't add up.

His early retirement actually cemented his legendary status. People wanted more than he gave and still ask him why he did it all these years later. I am not surprised that he is in the finals.

Montana, Rice, even Sanders all played until you could see they were actually mere mortals. Barry left in his prime and that creates a certain longing all by itself.

I would rather have E. Smith any day and twice on Sunday.

Smith is the only running back to ever win a Super Bowl championship, the NFL Most Valuable Player award, the NFL rushing crown, and the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award all in the same season (1993). He is also one of only four running backs to lead the NFL in rushing three or more consecutive seasons, joining Steve Van Buren, Jim Brown and Earl Campbell. Smith led the league in rushing and won the Super Bowl in the same year three times (1992, 1993, and 1995) when to that point it had never been done. Smith is also one of only two non-kickers in NFL history to score more than 1,000 career points (the other being Jerry Rice).

That's nice but it's not what any of this is about. It's not the best player ever on the cover, just as March Madness isn't about the best team in March. It's about the best from each bracket. In this case, Sanders only had to be better than Rice, Montana, Ray Lewis, Marcus Allen and Ron Rivera while Peterson just needed to be better than RG3, Foster, Gronk, LeSean McCoy and Palmer.

I guess they had Peterson beat Foster after showing Foster in the initial press photos to throw off the conspiracy guys.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote Championship: Barry Sanders vs. Adrian Peterson

Second year in a row I'm going to have to buy a game with a rival player on the cover.

So not cool. I miss the days of Peyton Hillis.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote Championship: Barry Sanders vs. Adrian Peterson

Just put Barry on the cover. It's an anniversary Madden, makes sense to have a legend on it. Either way I don't really care and I'll continue to refuse to believe it's not a completely fixed marketing ploy.

Tongue in cheek here....

I'm beginning to think the cover voting is about as authentic as Madden gameplay. lol

Re: Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote Championship: Barry Sanders vs. Adrian Peterson

I believe IF your going to represent the last 25 years it should be the greatest.

In my opinion Rice was the clear choice for that aspect.

I do not believe Sanders is the best choice for that and as such is not the person whom should break the current athlete in their prime covers. Madden should focus on the current performers and AP who lets not forget nearly broke the season rushing record thats insane!

I meant to say, I prefer Barry Sannders. He was the greatest rb I ever seen during my life time. I used to wish my former Cowboys would trade Emmitt for him especially since the Boys back then had the crazy O-line. Emmitt wasn't that good to me and if he had Sanders' Detroit O-line, Emmitt's career would have been garbage and ended early.

That being said, AP may help move more units by being on the cover and he may be the second greatest rb I've ever seen who played during my lifetime.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote Championship: Barry Sanders vs. Adrian Peterson

Everyone vote for Peterson!!! Why would you want yet ANOTHER lions player on the cover of Madden 2 years in the row! Lets change it up.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote Championship: Barry Sanders vs. Adrian Peterson

I don't understand people not liking Barry Sanders. Just because he doesn't have a ring or winning record, he is still the most talented elusive back of all time. AP is in a close second and depending on how the rest of his years go, may even surpass Barry. I still want AP on cover over Barry though.

You might want to watch footage of Gale Sayers before calling Barry the most elusive back ever. Watch Sayers' game against SF in the mud; Sanders was merely average in bad weather games.

Re: Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote Championship: Barry Sanders vs. Adrian Peterson

Vote for Peterson if you actually want a different look for this years Madden. If you want ANOTHER lions player on the front then by all means for for Sanders.

You know, Sanders almost broke the record as well right? On a worse team.
