Like I said, I love his grit...he's a real blue collar guy...and like you said you don't see that ethic alot anymore.....just dont' see him as a cover athlete.

I too am angry that the majority rules! Every poll in America should be decided by the vocal few who complain on message boards!

Frankly this result has restored a tiny bit of my faith in humanity.

Dude this thing is rigged because if you were watching ESPN when this voting started the only players promoting the vote were Mike Vick and Hillis of all the players Hillis was promoting the vote one of his only endorsement deals. It just so happens these two guys are the last two.... Cmon Son!

It doesn't surprise me that hillis is beating vick...ea can't afford to have vick on the cover, just another smart business decision on EA's part.

# 107 blklightning @ 04/25/11 12:50 PM

i don't even know who hillis is. probably a by product of him playing for the browns.

edit:

okay, now i do. vick did some things last year that i never thought i'd see him do. i guess since cleveland can't win anything, they're going all in to win this vote. lol.

one of the better highlight vids i've seen on youtube.

You keep on saying this throughout the thread.

Please show me a link where anyone on the cover made a huge impact on sales positively or negatively.

The avg football fan/casual gamer wants the brand "Madden" not who is on the cover.

i still can't believe people are saying the average nfl fan doesn't know who peyton hillis is? have you been hiding under a rock?

Perennial stars, just like Daunte Culpepper and Vince Young.

Is there a reason that Giants fans seem to be taking the most offense to Hillis being on the cover?

Also Danny Woodhead went on ESPN and didn't make it past Aaron Rodgers so none of that conspiracy crap.

# 113 PSRusse83 @ 04/25/11 01:37 PM

Mike Vick won

Oh I dont give a crap if Hillis wins (even though the **** storm of vick would be more entertaining to see).

I just laugh when we start saying the guy is elite.

For me it's his high level of doucheness.

Although personally I file who's on the cover under the "I could care less category"

Haters gonna hate...

If Vick wins I'll just use a custom cover that says I'm playing "Ethan Albright Pigskin Extravaganza Two-Thousand and 12"... got nothing to do with Vick hatred tho, fan of the guy I just think that would be fun

# 120 mrpolybius @ 04/25/11 02:19 PM

does everyone not realize the only reason peyton hillis is going to win is because NO ONE IS VOTING FOR THEIR STAR PLAYER! they dont want to see them get hurt! if i was a packers fan i would NOT vote for aaron rodgers because of the madden curse, people are celebrating this as a victory for peyton hillis, he wins by default, because no one wants to see a star player get hurt.
