Madden NFL 13 Cover Athlete Update - Cam Newton Leading The Way

[TNT713]

It's hard to vote against Cam Newton. No matter what happens, I'm starting him in my games!!!

I'll probably look like an idiot but when's the last time we saw a Defensive player on cover? And I am talking solo cover not the split with Larry and Troy.

Would be a nice change of pace for a defensive player to be on cover.

Same here its hard to vote against Newton, being a Browns fan I traded for him in Madden 12 and he has been my starting QB since

Ray Lewis in Madden 2005.

Coincidentally, that was also the last great Madden game.

I love defense, but I can't see putting T-Sizzle on the cover over Superman. What Newton did was just so far beyond belief that it deserves commemoration. I hated that his work got overshadowed by Tebow coverage all season long. I'm not a Carolina fan, but I'm a Cam fan now, that's for sure. That kid is amazing.

LMAO....Dalton should not be anywhere the Madden cover, or even mentioned in the same breath.

He had a nice rookie season, but it was absolutely not memorable and he is not exciting to watch at all.

I dont think Cam is worthy just yet either, but at least he had a memorable rookie year and is really fun to watch.

Calvin Johnson, Patrick Willis or Jared Allen should be 3 of the top names for the cover.

Madden cover used to pay homage to the great players of the game....now EA moronically takes votes from what consists primarily of little kids and casual fans who truly dont know much about the NFL or real football in general. Thats also part of the reason the game continues to be a watered down product of the actual thing.

I like Cam...he was alot of fun to watch....but you are pretty easily amazed if the bolded is true. He definitely had some wow moments, but alot of people expected that. I didnt expect his stats to be quite as gaudy, but it wasnt "far beyond belief".

So, what's wrong with everyone voting for Gabbert then?? Now, he's fun to watch!!
