If people don't want Vick on the cover because they have their own personal hate agendas that is fine (although ridiculous), but then give it to Aaron Rodgers or Clay Matthews, not some guy who had 1 above average season playing against teams with absolutely ludricous rush defense.

Gimme a break please, here...now.
It wasn't all a hate Vick campaign, Hillis knocked Rodgers out the round before. Cleveland fans weren't scared of the curse and supported their guy more than any other fan base did.

Congrats to Hillis.

Hey guys, the whole "Let's put Scott Norwood (or any other colossal failure of a football player) on the cover of m13" stuff needs to stop. It adds nothing the conversation and is just trolling the Browns fans. Thanks.

One break...................... coming up.

This voting was unique, NCAA style bracket.

It wasn't about who was most deserving, it became a popularity contest.

Other years, where EA picked the cover, yes, then I would agree, it was the athlete who was arguably most deserving.

The Ravens have lousy rush D???? Well, he did torch them.

Steroids/HGH Hillis on the cover...lol

I guarantee you they lose atleast some sales because people don't know who he is and think it's some sort of a joke.

Sigh. An article about the Hillis Vick? You missed what I was aiming at. But that's not really surprising.

NOpe the curse was every cover guy got hurt and missed significant playing time. 2010 they had 2 guys and Troy was the bearer of the curse. The only guy's in recent memory who cleared the curse were Favre and Brees. I even thik Vince Young got hurt (knee) after his cover year....and yeah lost the starting gig!

Maybe I am wrong.

Farve was shipped out of Greenbay and Brees got embarrassed by a team that supposedly had no business looking at the saints in the playoffs.

But to say that the cover/packaging of the game is irrelevant isn't accurate at all. Otherwise companies wouldn't spend millions on advertisement and branding of their products. And I would be jobless as well.

From a visual standpoint, I'm sure many of us here at OS wouldn't mind buying a copy of Madden 12 wrapped up in a plain dvd case with nothing to show for as long as the game was outstanding. But from a marketing standpoint, that's not the case for the average consumer. Bringing guys like Kobe, Jordan and Favre to grace a game cover is expensive. Companies doesn't like to loose money. They do it for a reason.

I don't think 2K sports is planing to sign Matt Booner for be the cover guy of NBA 2K12 anytime soon.
I really appreciate this post.
