Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

[Ænima]

Cleveland sports fans love their Browns. I have no doubt that this was won fair and square.

Who cares? It's kind of cool. The conspiracy crap is just that... crap.

Some of yall are sleeping on Hillis. Vick is one of my favorite players to watch and I wish he'd been on the cover, but I love the fact that a Hard-nosed, down hill, PHYSICAL FOOTBALL PLAYER won it.

SN: Im sure youtube still works some of you guys should use it if you dont think he belongs on the Cover.

Yeah but you may have not bought a game because the cover art did nothing for you; whether you were consciously thinking it or not. We are morbid football fans so the cover wouldn't bother us any. But spanning all games, dvds, cds, movie posters and more, what ever sort of graphic ad, the content is important. Otherwise people wouldn't be studying and getting paid for the art of graphic design and advertisement.

I know in your eyes, if you want the game you will get it no matter what the cover is, like me. But if you're on the fence about it, the things on the cover or back cover art can get you. I dont think the front cover athlete should have much of an affect on purchases but it can. It most definitely does.

That it was sir. That it was. They couldn't even get the basic rules right that year. I rented it and tore the back page out before playing the game because of the NCAA screw up I could've gotten a free copy,well $3 for the rental. I still have the page somewhere.

Brees broke the curse last year. It's over!


And I am very happy Hillis is on the cover! Vick already had a cover.

If your mind isn't changed after reading this article, then it won't change at all, and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.
