The same goes for Madden. I've been watching these guys for a long time and like ancient man, I recognize the patterns. Here's how this will likely work....

The press release for Madden NFL 15 already says that this version of Madden is putting the emphasis on Defense. You've got the first Teaser Trailer released a few weeks ago, featuring a middle linebacker. You can throw all of these offense guys out of the window - a defender is going to be on the cover.

Now, take into account that the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl this year and Richard Sherman is one of the most recognizable DBs in football right now. Remember this? Joe Public does....



Marketing and research is what EA does best. Arguably, they're better at business than they are at making games nowadays. There's way too many dollars at stake.

My educated guess is that Richard Sherman will be your Madden NFL 15 Cover Athlete. The cynic inside me says the vote is a sham and low cost publicity to make Madden relevant now that we're in the typical marketing window of ~90 days until launch.

I totally agree. This cover vote is silly lol

Got to think Shady has good odds of landing the cover. He shoulda represented the Eagles in previous votes but he's the closest thing to watching a video game in the NFL

Hold up... THIS is all?

No edge rushers, no linebackers other than Keuchly? Defense, I thought, was supposed to be one of the big things touted this year, but there's only two defenders in the running for the cover?

No J.J. Watt?
No Robert Mathis?
No Tamba Hali?
No Von Miller?
No Robert Quinn?

How 'bout a few other Seahawks on that defense like Kam Chancellor (who just as easily could have been Super Bowl MVP), or Earl Thomas, or Michael Bennett.

I don't think EA would be that lame to fix a cover vote. I just wish they would use a real life in-game shot for the cover, but that's just me. Something like this.....
