    Re: Madden NFL 15 Cover Vote Starts on May 8th

    First video was of Kuechly... I don't see how it will really be anyone else.

    Someone made mention of this being similar to the Madden 2004/2005 Offense to 'Fear the D' (which still makes me kinda giggle like a teenager at times. If it has to be anyone else that will create even more hype for EA/Madden - how about Sherman?

    Maybe this can be the cover?

        You kiddin' me? This Madden curse thing is legit. I'm sure Barry Sanders was more gimpier walking the year his cover the never before.

          They put so much effort into these cover votes and so little into the actual game. It's maddening...pun intended.

            "They" aren't the same people. The cover vote is done by a marketing company.

              Since their talking about rivals this would've been the perfect year to have 2 players on the cover

              Anyway I hope it's either of these 4 players on the cover
              Can Newton
              Russell Wilson
              Earl Thomas
              Luke Luke Kuechly
              LOUISVILLE
              Ali/Mayweather
              Eagles

              BRON IS THE GOAT!!

                Eddie George was the first NTSC cover player, and he had a career high in carries, yards, TDs (Rushing and Total), and his team won their division grabbing the #1 seed. The only thing that could possibly be considered a "curse" would be the fact that they lost in the Divisional round (to the eventual SB champ, considered to have one of the best Defenses of all time).

                Ray Lewis, had a less than stellar season by his standards, but still an excellent season overall.

                Vince Young had no business being on the cover in 08, but if you ignore the TD-INT ratio (9-17 in 2007, vs. 12-13 in 2006) he actually had a better year than he did the year before in pretty much every other category (including record).

                Drew Brees posted an 11-5 record, and at the time posted career 2nd bests in Passing TDs, Yards, and Completion percentage and set the career high for completions (which he has since broken). The only negative part about that season was the number of INTs he threw (22).

                Peyton Hillis had no business being on the cover of Madden 12, he had one good year under his belt, and won because he was a commodity (a white running back). Aaron Rodgers should have been on the cover but twice had to face white running backs who had no business being in the competition (He barely edged out Danny Woodhead, and then got killed by Peyton Hillis). Peyton Hillis, might have done better if he focused on playing the damn game rather than holding out for money after only 1 season of production, but even then it would have been hard to match the numbers he put up the year before because he was in Cleveland, and he wasn't an elite RB.

                And then Calvin Johnson broke the record for Receiving yards for a season, falling just short of the 2000 yard mark he boldly stated he would surpass. Yeah the Lions had a bad season record wise, but I'll chalk that up to them being the Lions long before I'll even consider some "curse".

                The curse doesn't exist, this is simply what happens when you play in the NFL (where careers average a length of 3-4 years), the fact that multiple times the curse has been broken by stellar performances (and/or zero injuries), and yet people keep getting hurt should tell you its a product of the brutality of the game not the magic of a cover.

                  It'd be fun if the vote was going to be something like, 1 defensive player will win and 1 offensive. Or, this year we're focusing on defense, so all defensive candidates. But as soon as it's just Walter Payton, Barry Sander, Joe Montana, etc mixed in with current stars, I just roll my eyes. The whole thing is a popularity contest, but it could at least be interesting.

                    I know it doesn't exist, I'm making fun of how people act like it's a big deal and it's going to ruin their favorite player's careers.

                      Sherman is a #1 seed

                        A.J Green, JJ Watt, Patrick Peterson, Earl Thomas or Joe Haden. I'd be happy with any of these 5 guys on the cover

                          I think it'll be Sherman or Wilson. I would prefer Sherm though.
