Why all the fuss over the pose. Basic football knowledge can see it's the first move a corner makes when he's jamming a receiver at the line of scrimmage. It's proper technique.
I can't wait til they scrap this build of Madden and start completely over! New build from ps2 to ps3 (****). SAME FROM Ps3 to PS4 still ****, but 15 doesn't look bad to me so far.
You can pick out EA games on a shelf from afar. They know what they're doing when it comes to designing covers.
Where I live they stack games like books at the library. So seeing it from "afar" isn't a good excuse. Just be honest and say that they put little effort into their cover art work.
We don't know for sure. But if E3 or the screenshots they've released are any indication, which usually it is, we won't be seeing anything new on the equipment front. Although, this years info release has been a little odd so something could change, but at this point I wouldn't count on it. Especially since they don't even have the team color cleats they showed in the Madden 13 blog a couple years ago.

Of course it's a good excuse, attracting attention is the primary reason for a cover. EA's sports covers all follow a clean, uniform design which makes them easy to pick out in a crowd. That's all that matters; the quality of artwork is secondary.
