Madden NFL 16 Cover Vote Features Gronk, P. Peterson, Odell Beckham Jr. Antonio Brown

[Sheba2011]

This looks like EA really wanted Gronk on the cover but had to keep their "vote" (which I think is a total sham each year) so they chose 3 random guys to go up against him. It doesn't really matter who anyone votes for EA is still going to pick who is on the cover. Last year Richard Sherman was the biggest name in football there was no way he was going to lose that vote, even though the majority of the country outside of Seattle can't stand the guy.

They get new customers every year, and that's who matters to them.

Nah thats pretty lame and boring, there is reason those type of covers stopped in the 90s

This is the most lackluster Madden vote to date. Why not just go Peterson and Brown in a reverse of Madden 10? Gronk is injury prone so he probably won't last the year and OBJR could be a one bit wonder. Patrick Peterson is hasn't hit that greatness tier yet and Antonio Brown isn't a household name yet.

Let's face it, OBJ OR Gronk will be the cover athlete based upon the new "Air Supremacy" thing. So Odell's one handed catch would make for a great cover, and Gronk in mid spike would also make a great cover as well.

...and based on the fact that they're easily much more popular than the other two due to both their markets and media exposure.

I agree with you. I think the cover athlete idea is played out and dated. It's not quite in the area of man with gun front and center, but it's a lame method of attracting attention. "Look at what football player's picture is on the box this year!" Evidently it works though, so I guess we won't be seeing the action shots (which I also prefer) any time soon.
