Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

The content of a game cover does matter. Just saying.

Not taking a stab at Hillis but overall the cover content does matter across the board for ALL things.

Vick already had a cover. EA was begging for controversy just by having him in the voting. Controversy sells all the time. I am sure EA knew what they were doing from the beginning.

When I say sells I mean it gets people talking. The best way to promote something is to get people talking.

I'm not denying that because it's the only game I'm playing consistently. But I live in Florida and I know a good amount of people who bought NCAA 11 only because Tebow was on the cover. Those type of people are out there.

I don't buy this at all.

I've never bought a video game because of the cover art.

Either way, the way it has been on all forums madden has had that racial tone to it for a while. Its nothing to get bent out of shape over, like the many who flocked to burn vick at the cross once he made the finals, im sure they're safe in there glass houses right now and there pets looking and feeling healthier than ever since they have been rescued from the ASPCA. Im happy for hillis winning, the cover isnt the reason I buy my games anyway, its whats on the disc when I put it into my console that matters.

I have no issues what so ever with Vick... I enjoy watching him play and hope he stays up. I voted for Vick every round... Until the finals. I wanted Hillis cuz I'm a browns fan and Hillis put on a toughness clinic every week. If you go nationwide I'm sure there are more browns fans then eagles fans... Browns Backers is the biggest organized pro football fan organization in the US and is even in several countries around the world. If Lu go off of that alone, Hillis would get more votes.

I remember buying CH2K even though jj redick was on the cover. It made me want to vomit lol
