    Hopefully it is Vonn and we get new pass rush mechanics and true gap play including fill and force players

      After how '16 brought me back into the Madden circle, here's to hoping it only builds on the great play.

          Well that would be a huge risk, given his history. Ill say Cam or Manning.

            I'm thinking it will be Peyton Manning tied to some new CFM feature or a new passing mechanic.

              He hasn't been in any trouble in a while and besides Barry Sanders I think every cover athlete has been an active player so I don't see it being manning

                This would be my other guess with a focus on slowing down AC and maybe showcasing def assignments

                  I think Cam is a logical choice. He was so close to being on the cover the last 2 years.

                  Would not mind Watt or Miller though. For me 16 is the most fun on Madden I have had since 10 dropped. Excited to see what they build on.

                    I'm really hoping we see a focus on line-play. Maybe JJ Watt on the cover? Not that I care at all about who's on the cover, but if the cover athlete is going to be indicative of what they worked on most, I hope it's a lineman.

                      LMAO at that Josh Normal Cover...doubt he will grace the cover. I agree with the peyton Manning cover since he retired with style and the curse wont be there to further EA bad track record with cover curses...unless Manning chokes on said coors light, or slips on a spilled coors light and hurts himself. LOL

                      Another good candidate would of course be the NFC MVP Cam Newton, but he wont because his post SB mess with press. But maybe.

                      Marshawn Lynch for the same reason as Peyton

                      I would also put the Luke Kuechly and Watt in there as a legit cover. Kuechly especially since he was WAAAAAAAY more valuable to the panthers than Norman and consistently puts up pro bowl numbers where as Norman just now is relevant in his late age

                        Think it's cam! Hopefully ESPN is a bigger part of the presentation this year

                          Wouldn't be amazed if Peyton was on the legacy edition for PS3/360 and Cam on PS4/X1

                            Definitely wanna see what the gameplay focus was this year. It's the first year I actually have no idea what they could try to work on. Not that the game doesn't need major work on the field, but this is the first year that there's no elephant in room as far as gameplay. Well besides the usually request for realistic animations and ai on offense and defense.

                              ESPN has been doing cover reveals for Madden for awhile, so i wouldn't read too much into them hosting this. They have had specials on the cover vote and even had the game show Madden Challenge.

                              Maybe its Peyton...Kind of like Kobe being on 2k next year.

                                I use to be so excited about the first announcement of Madden. Idk the excitement isn't there I'll wait and see tho before I completely write off the madden series.
