Madden NFL 15 Cover Vote Comes Down to Cam Newton vs. Richard Sherman

[JKSportsGamer1984]

Of course it's going to be Sherman. It was obvious from day one. Think about it, who better to promote a game than Sherman? This guy stays in the news & is controversial. EA saw this marketing grab from a mile away lol.

Cam lost to Megatron last time in the finals, so here's hoping he wins this time around. He really enjoys Madden, too.

Cam would also be the first player to be on the cover of Madden that is younger than the series: the first game released in June of '88, Cam was born in May of '89.

Damn if they wanted Sherman to be on the cover that's all they had to say.

Mad bro? Sherman deserves it. Go Hawks.

Re: Madden NFL 15: Cam Newton vs. Richard Sherman, Finalists for Madden Cover

Just a reminder, for anyone who cares, the Panthers are one of only 3 NFL teams (also Texans and Oilers) to never be represented on the cover of any officially licensed NFL video game.

He is the shameless plug to my embarrassingly long blog post about team representation on NFL video game covers

With that being said, I'm voting for Cam. Though, I admit having a CB on there would be nice for a change.

That's not entirely true...

Point goes to you. I was bound to miss one.

Still, the Panthers are pretty underrepresented...

If Defense wins Championships: the adage will hold true if Sherm beats out Cam - not amused...

The Oilers and Titans are the same organization. That's kind of a technicality. But just for you I found Warren Moon on the cover of a game.

So the trend is every five years there's a defensive player on the cover. 05 was Ray Lewis. 10 was Troy. And if Sherman wins it'll be 15. So next time a defensive player will.be on the cover will be Madden 20. Also those were the gears of the biggest defensive innovations with the hit stick. Pro tak and whatever game changing defensive feature they have this year.

Sherman is probably going to win.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Cover Vote Comes Down to Cam Newton vs. Richard Sherman

As a 49er fan I fully support the madden curse, I mean Sherman for the cover.

[inkcil]

John Madden kinda reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock, who "coincidentally" wrote (or directed or both) a movie called The Birds.

So I predict that a player representing a Bird will be on the cover.

Someone check how many times a Bird has been featured in Madden. I bet it correlates somehow with Alfred Hitchcock.

p.s. A side profile of John Madden on the cover of the game ( a la Hitchcock style) would have been EPIC.

I say it is rigged for Sherman to win (the bracket was overall weak)

1. Luke Kuechly a Linebacker stars in the first trailer.
2. From the first bit of info given they tout a bunch of defensive improvements.
3. The Seahawks and their Defense dominate the Super Bowl
4. Sherman is very popular in the media

I glad Sherman is going to win even if it is rigged. Maybe this means we will finally get WR/DB interactions.

What Panther would you have even put on the cover? If you say someone like Peppers, then you can't just say the Panthers are underrepresented because there have only been 2 defensive players on covers.

Steve Smith? Very good wide receiver, not cover worthy imo.

I personally want Newton, but he is the first cover worthy Panter (not including defensive players).

I really doubt it. Sherman has his critics, but he just as equally has his big supporters.

It's no surprise Sherman beat Kaepernick by so much. Kaepernick is much more disliked, Sherman is the best corner in the game, and it was all about defense last year (which is also what the media has been preaching).

Re: Madden NFL 15 Cover Vote Comes Down to Cam Newton vs. Richard Sherman

I think the voting was a sham! I would like the build up to the game to be more interactive but it just seems dull and a big secret? Maybe we get another pre-rendered video at E3 and then maybe some gameplay the night b4 the game drops? Sad.

Oh course it is fixed. Madden 15 game play is based around Defense this year. Having a QB on the cover and the game based on D would be kind of say weird. lol But at least Cam did make it to the finales. But I whether Cam not be on the cover any way. Just in cause the curse is real. If you know what I mean. Vote for Sherman everyone. So Sherman can enjoy a year off.
