Okay, then. Why don't you see other WR's making catches like Odell? They wear gloves too, don't they?

I agree. I don't think Odell would even be on this list without that catch and all the spotlight he got after that.

But I can careless, it's just a cover that I will only see once I buy and take it out the case. Won't see it again no time soon after that.

If it's Gronk and he gets hurt you can't blame it on the Madden curse,it would just be Gronk's injury prone self.

That was never my point, more as an example. My point was why set up a "vote" that's geared towards a certain player, and have him conviently win. Just do it like the old days and just pick the guy from the very beginning.

Pretty sure Gronk was catching deflated balls all year. I hate the Pats!

I agree, but you know EA has to have the dog and pony show. It's about everything but the game. EA loves selling that sizzle.

I don't really care who is on the cover, but I find it hilarious that people feel Odell Beckham doesn't deserve consideration. He is already one of the most popular players, and in only 12 games he proved he is one of the league's best WR's. Beckham is the real deal.

I dont like the voting for the cover because its biased in some ways! I look at it as certain players earn the right after having a few great seasons and maybe a breakout season a few years into an already good career. Gronk is already among all time great TEs and hes only 26! Crazy! Yes, OBJ had an awesome rookie year but he should have a long career in front of him and lots of opportunity to get the cover in years to come. I think it should be more of a seniority kind of thing so more players get the chance to be on the cover; the cover should hold more prestige as to have all time greats on the cover when looking back and not just having a collection of one-hit wonders! I know in the end its about selling more copies and putting the trendy guy on the cover but that tells you a lot about ea and how its all about marketing and not the actual game!
