Better question is do you seriously care if other people care who is on the cover of a sports video game?

Nope not really, just find it kinda silly is all.

Does anyone not think this cover vote is fixed every year? Peyton Hillis wins it one year and now Richard Sherman? Really? Richard Sherman? I guess it's just a coincidence that he wins it the year they're touting defensive improvements, right? EA should just announce who's gonna be on the cover and stop with this dog and pony show every year.

As a broncos fan, you realize that the 'hawks didn't beat you in the Super Bowl, right? You guys beat yourselves and Seattle was just in the right position to capitalize. You can't be mad at the team just because your team blew it.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more about beating ourselves. I'm also not much of a fan of Sherman anyway. So it just kind of goes hand in hand.

I don't. Let's go back to Calvin Johnson. He just broke Rice's record and is a top 3 wideout of all time. Huge reason for him winning the cover.

Sanders/AP. Peterson just had an insane comeback and was MVP. 25 year anniversary, plenty of reason to vote for the best running back of all-time and one that is in the conversation. Again, plenty of reason for them to get votes.

Sherman. Seahawks win Super Bowl, defense was very mainstream this season, he had the big play against the 49ers and the post game interview. Again, plenty of reason for him to get votes.

Riiiiiiight, do you realize how many people hate Richard Sherman? Last time I checked, he finished 7th among the 35 most disliked people in sports according to sports illustrated:

Somehow tho, he gets enough votes to win the Madden cover. Riiiiight.

Do you remember the bracket for the Peyton Hillis cover? Compared to the last couple years, it was loaded with names much higher than Hillis. There is no way that vote was rigged for Hillis. Since then, there have been obvious predictions (like this year with Sherman), but the positioning of the brackets or relatively weak other players with name value right now doesn't equal a rigged vote.

I mean, don't let that get in the way of the random bashing of absolutely anything associated with Madden.
