Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete Up For Vote Again - 32 Player Bracket Viewable Now

10:07 AM - March 21, 2011 by The GIGGAS

The Madden NFL 12 cover athlete will be chosen, via a 32 player bracket style voting system. Kotaku has the scoop.

Click here, to view all of the Madden NFL 12 cover candidates, which includes "The 12th Man" for the Seahawks.

Quote:


	"Last year, EA Sports held a three-way voting competition for the Madden NFL 11 cover, which Brees won easily. The bracket idea is a shrewd move, coming at a time when much of the United States is consumed by picking brackets for the NCAA basketball tournament. EA Sports also needs a little more of a spark - and a long-lasting, visible campaign reminding fans that Madden NFL 12 will release as planned - as an off-putting labor dispute between NFL players and owners wears on."

Yea the team would go 13-3 and lose the first game they played by a runningback stiffarming their dbacks in BeastMode style

That settles it--Vick just got my vote!

Rodgers can't win. If he's on the same show as Beadle (winner announced on SportsNation) I'll die of awesomeness overload.

Would love to see Peyton Hillis on the cover. I feel like too many of the choices are just one hit wonders. Danny Woodhead had a good year but he could just as easily disappear forever.

Well..........I guess so. I just wouldn't have called it "big, and reassurring."

Whatever the case....I'm a Madden fan and I'm intrigued to see these new features announced. I'm hoping for some nice additions this year.

I would agree, but that is marketing.

I'm intrigued as well as what is in store down the road.

I've discussed in the thread. Nicks has my vote though it's all a gimmick

# 70 JustinJones @ 03/21/11 06:22 PM

Vick will prolly win making him the first repeat Madden Curse we all know how that played out haha but my vote goes to Ndamukong SUH!!

# 71 CatMan72 @ 03/21/11 06:39 PM

So Jordan Gross is our cover candidate, really?

WHAT ABOUT BEASON!!!!!!

# 72 elgreazy1 @ 03/21/11 06:44 PM

It's gonna be disgusting when Vick wins. ugh.

# 73 kehlis @ 03/21/11 06:47 PM

With the hype he gets, Tebow could be the first and last ever backup QB on the cover (if this is in fact decided through fan vote).

The guy has the number 1 selling jersey and played in 3 games full time and like 4 other plays of the season before that.

# 74 H_Zilla @ 03/21/11 06:50 PM

Should get Jake Long on the cover, have an OT on the cover of Madden would just be too funny.

Tebow will probibly win, its the whole Yao Ming in the NBA all star game

# 75 sarlndr @ 03/21/11 07:29 PM

They should just make a collage of all 32 teams, this way nobody misses out.

I voted for the Browns mascot to be on the cover.

# 76 StreetCarp @ 03/21/11 07:42 PM

I know it's not gonna happen, but if Woodhead won...LOL

# 77 jfsolo @ 03/21/11 08:51 PM

I think this is a nice little win for the marketing folks. I never care about who is on the cover, but their decision to present the choice in bracket format got me to actually vote on each match up.

I agree with those who say that to a large extent the "fix" is in. An executive decision has probably already limited the potential winners to a certain 5 or 6 guys.

# 78 iAM-IncReDiBLe- @ 03/21/11 10:03 PM

Lets all vote for Seattle's 12th man or Matt Ryan (Homer) to win this thing just to see what they do.

# 79 iAM-IncReDiBLe- @ 03/21/11 10:04 PM

Oh an if Seattle's 12th man were to win what happens to the Madden curse? Will all the Seattle fans suffer something crazy like the Seahawks randomly relocating?

Brett Favre unretires (yet again) and signs with the Seahawks after Hasselbeck is injured and put out for the season during training camp.
