Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete is Peyton Hillis

[mavfan21]

Guy wasn't even a top ten rusher last year. Was 11th, 6th in TD's.

Just dumb. Least deserving player ever, it's not even close.

The OTHER Peyton, who plays in Indianapolis, hasn't even been on a cover.

It's just silly. It doesn't make me mad, I'm not "hatin'", it's just dumb and silly. It's a joke. Being on that cover was something you earned. Being a pretty-good player for one season wasn't enough.

Totally different voting process this years means you can throw everything about the previous covers out the window.

This years wasn't about most deserving, it more about who is most popular.

Dont blame EA, blame the fans who voted for him.
I dont think Peyton Manning wants to be on the cover of Madden. He was on Gameday 03.
I dont have a problem with Hillis on the cover. I never bought a game for a cover. I wasnt going to buy the game anyway. If Franchise and Superstar mode is tremendously improved, I will consider buying it

Wow I didn't realize Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Atlanta, New Orleans, had such horrible run defenses! Wow

What's so funny, I mean really, he is nobody special, also agree with others, he shouldn"t be on the cover, sorry.

Blame all the voters, then.

I can't believe Hillis is on the cover. I bet half of the casual fans in the country have never watched him play.

You would think it EA would be better off to use a player from a popular team (Steelers, Cowboys, Giants, Jets) instead of a pretty good player from on of the worst franchises in the League over the last decade or so.

They should. That dude WALKED to the arena and signed autographs along the way when he played for the Raptors. Dunno about with the Spurs.
