"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."
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?
Voted for Arron Rodgers hoping for the curse but then again I wouldnt mind seeing Julius Peppers when ever I start up Madden 12! If so though I will be praying day and night that Julius Peppers never gets the curse but Arron Rodgers does!
That would be amusing, I really want Seattles 12th man to win just because I can't see ea putting them on the cover. What are they going to put up? A random picture of their fans lol.
I realize that there's only one player per team and Rodgers definitly deserves to be in there but, no Clay Matthews makes me *sadface*
Not a Packer fan, but Clay was a shoo-in for cover guy IMO. Any other year where the cover wasn't determined by pure marketing, he'd be there. To me, he is the only option.
I voted Julius Peppers because I would LOVE madden 12 menus to be all about Da Bears but if is any other player I want madden to have custom menus for the fact that I would not be able to live with all the crap of Arron Rodgers. (I believe he will win and if not then well Vick will but if Arron does win then I hope to god that the Curse hits HARD)
i voted for Peppers for the same reason you think that Rodgers will win.
Rodgers must be better than Cutler for that kind of wishing. lol.
It would be so great if Jordan Gross won. EA's targeted 13 year old would see the cover in the store and ask himself who's this fat guy from the worst team in the league on the cover.
But since they don't show the results I suppose EA can adjust the votes so they can have a famous cover athlete again.
Everyone vote for the 12 man AKA the fans, Since its a lock-out I think the 12 man gunna be rigged to win
I voted for the 12th man lol. Don't expect them to win but, I think it'd be funny if they did. I mean would they really put a bunch a seashawk fans(no offense intended) or just fans in general on the front of the cover.
I have a hard time believing it.
I would like to see MJD or AP make the cover since the fan now has a choice in the matter by voting if I'm not mistaken.
Come on people, vote for the 12th man! Pasta Padre said the 12th man is only a few percentage points behind Patrick Willis. Let's put the 12th man over the top! Also vote for John Gross and Jake Long!
