The same goes for Madden. I've been watching these guys for a long time and like ancient man, I recognize the patterns. Here's how this will likely work....
The press release for Madden NFL 15 already says that this version of Madden is putting the emphasis on
Defense
. You've got the first Teaser Trailer released a few weeks ago, featuring a middle linebacker. You can throw all of these offense guys out of the window -
a defender is going to be on the cover
.
Now, take into account that the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl this year and Richard Sherman is one of the most recognizable DBs in football right now. Remember this? Joe Public does....
Marketing and research is what EA does best. Arguably, they're better at business than they are at making games nowadays. There's way too many dollars at stake.
My educated guess is that Richard Sherman will be your Madden NFL 15 Cover Athlete. The cynic inside me says the vote is a sham and low cost publicity to make Madden relevant now that we're in the typical marketing window of ~90 days until launch.
