I agree with all the “John on the cover” of Madden. Not only that, but I hope they bring him back as one of the commentators. Only fitting for the 20th edition. But add a lot more non-specific variety to the ad-libs and just an occasional, i.e., boom, boom, here, there…gimme a turkey leg, where it is fitting………lol.

The “fluff” of the past two years by the EA marketing team, needs to be replaced with early, early info RE: bringing back all the things players have been complaining about. EA knows what they are. I would hope that this would be some of the first “news” after the rookie draft photos, etc.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Madden on the cover only because I get sick of hearing about this Madden curse.

In the same pose from the very first game…

Tim, you sound a little bitter that the Giants won last year. They did a great job… give them the nod they deserve, get over it and get on to the next season.

Every year the cover guy is centered around the major feature of the game.

Gettin Big John On There = Good Presentation?

Hopefully the 20th anni leads to that. I can only pray that is the route they are taking.

They should do like NCAA and there should be a different player on each systems cover.

[quote comment="17234"]If it is runningback it could be Brian Westbrook
But if it is true that it is WR how about David Tyree!
Lol, seriously though it could be Plaxico Burress[/quote]

I can’t see how any Giant is worthy of the cover. None of them are that good. They were fortunate to win a super bowl but ELI is no Peyton or Brady and Burress is no Moss or Owens.

Giant homers need to get this notion out of your collective heads.

Sorry, I didn’t see that someone else had the same notion a few posts before; Madden himself.

Here’s my shocker for the cover – NO ATHLETE, but Coach John Madden himself gracing the cover for the 20-year anniversary!
