I remember that game with vick on the cover. It was one of the worst madden games in the series, if not THE WORST in terms of gameplay. But I think they sold tons of copies that year. One of the top 3 Madden sellers of all time if i remember correctly.

If they're still basing their main slogans/features on the cover athlete, I don't want to know what Drew Brees did to be Simpler, Quicker, Deeper.

I'm starting the movement a year early.

John Kuhn, Madden 13 cover, make it happen people!

Yeah, but franchise mode was pretty great that year. I think it actually won awards mostly because of Owner Mode if I'm not mistaken.

EA will not and I repeat WILL NOT be doing this again EVER.

Hillis definitely wouldn't have been their 1st choice for the cover.

If it did they wouldn't have been in the original field. Also don't underestimate the number of Browns fans. Add that to the anti-Vick fans and there you go.

Amen, in fact it really couldn't have worked out much better from EA's POV. They generated a substantial amount of buzz merely by having Vick in the running without having to face the firestorm of criticism they would have received if he had actually wound up on the cover. That's a win-win.

PETA backlash would have been too strong. Smart move by EA.
