EA probably had to get the 32 participants to agree to the cover beforehand, Brady could have easily declined.

It seems no matter what people still think it's rigged even when Hillis beats Rodgers. Why the hell would they rig this anyway? It's a freakin' cover for god's sake. The only reason I can even think of why they would rig this is for marketing reasons, for example NBA 2K11 and MJ. But if they wanted to put a more well know player on the cover for sales, why did they have a cover voting contest when they can slap on any player they want?

Beyond me..

And Michael Vick is polarizing enough to get a significant amount of troll-votes. The bottom line is that a true rigged vote would have conspired to get the most attractive coverboy as the victor, and both Hillis or Vick have huge question marks. From a marketing standpoint, they are both quite risky commodities.

Thank you

How does Rogers get voted out? Madden gamers dissapoint me, but really that is no big surprise.

There's no winning this one. EA made a bold attempt at involving the community, and the community screwed them.

I was shocked when I saw that Hillis beat Rodgers. At first, I thought that pretty much guaranteed Vick being on the cover. But, Hillis appears to have quite the following.

In this case then why did include Vick at all? They left out Brady and Manning, I'm sure they could have found another Eagle representative.

While those 2 probably declined like they always do I think, it would have been a smarter business move to just put Desean Jackson instead of Vick

Well Vick is obviously a different player now than he was before. Also it was 8 years ago that he made the cover and there is whole legion of madden players now.
