Hillis Ahead of Vick For Madden NFL 12 Cover

[djordan]

No way Hillis is on the cover. Trust me. Wouldn't be a good marketing choice in general for EA. Expect Vick to be on the cover.

Like I said from day 1 - Hillis all the way...

He's an up an coming player. Had a great year last season. I think you will be hearing a lot more about him.

so if he doesn't make the cover of Madden, then everyone is going to stop talking about him?

So you are convinced the voting is rigged?

I also don't see Vick as being a good marketing choice either.

bah, this Vick hate is a bit absurd. Wont buy a game because of cover art... it was take something pretty hateful to make me not buy a game due to the cover art. I didnt buy madden 11 because it was the same mess with different stuff plastered on it.

either way, if Vick is on it or not, if its like playing madden 10 again, then I wont be buying Madden for the 2nd straight year. So tired of the same old mess. Give me realistic setting and arcade setting and be done with it.

I agree not buying a game because of cover art is pretty ridiculous. That said, I could understand someone making a case he won't buy a game that puts a convicted criminal like Vick on the cover simply out of principle. I don't share that opinion, but I can understand it.

That said, I cannot understand how someone could possibly think "I would buy the game with Vick on the cover but with Hillis? Never!"

And Michael Vick isn't a hype machine unto himself?
