It's stupid Hillis will be on the cover, should be a star player.

LoL @ EA.
Why is it dumb? Its how EA wanted it. To let the fans choose. Its brilliant marketing actually. And I really don't think Hillis is stupid.

Nice year....but a 4.4 average is...well...average in the NFL......how Rodgers doesn't get it is mind boggling. He had 1000 yards passing the POST SEASON!!!!!! He's now in the top 4 of Qb's in the NFL and you could argue for him being number 1!!!!
this whole thing reminds me of baseball's all star game where the fans vote for who they want to see.....not the most deserving. Sorry...in my book Hillis on the cover is a big minus......


If you had to pick, gun to your head, who is going to have the best year next year and the best career...Hillis or Rodgers????? No brainer.....Rodgers all the way.
What's mind boggling about it? Hillis crushed Rodgers in the votes.

It's about who the fans want, after all... Who buys the game???

Why are people acting like the Madden cover is an MVP-like honor?

Exactly, look at all the attention this is getting and he hasn't even won yet lol. People are discussing this on music forums and whatnot even. EA knows what they're doing when it comes to marketing

It's sad that this amount of people don't view Hillis as a stud (not surprising though).

He hasn't had a bad season since entering the league except for the year he met Josh McDaniels. Good for him, I hope he wins.

Re: Hillis Ahead of Vick For Madden NFL 12 Cover

Is anyone going to give a legit answer to the "Why is Hillis considered pedestrian?" Question?

Or is 1600 total yards and 13 TD's not good enough for some people? Especially considering he had one of the worst passing games in the NFL on his team too.

Re: Hillis Ahead of Vick For Madden NFL 12 Cover

I still dont understand why it's illegal. From a legal standpoint. If EA doesnt honor the results of the "contest" who will sue? Nobody is exactly losing money here except maybe the contestants? I dont get it. (not very familiar with this side of the law in all honesty)

LoL.

I just didn't like the fact that someone without "star" power will be on the cover.

For the record - I didn't partake in the voting, and I don't really care who's on the cover.

Also, I didnt say Hillis isn't a good player. He just doesn't have that star power, yet. Maybe this will help make him a household name.

No, those making the claim don't follow football enough to know why what they are saying is false.
