Last week the Madden 10 website launched and stated that a new set of candidates for the Madden 10 cover would be posted each Monday leading up to the reveal on Thursday April 23rd. The first two possibilities were Adrian Peterson and Ed Reed.

As announced just moments ago on EA Sports Live the next two options for the cover are Ben Roethlisberger and Brandon Jacobs. With the amount of exposure Big Ben has received in the first two screenshots and his mention here it makes me doubt he’ll end up being the eventual choice. Jacobs most likely was thrown in just because of the “Fight For Every Yard” theme and I would consider him extremely unlikely to be the guy.

I have my overall hunches but will be saving those for the full cover prediction article coming late this week. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments on the four players known so far and whether you think the eventual choice will come out of them.

Well what about that whole thing about whoever donates more money gets to be on the cover. Is that still happening?

No it was mentioned that one time and later on found out that the quote was taken somewhat out of context by the interviewer and it was never close to actually happening.

Should be Larry Fitzgerald although Madden 08 and jetpacking would have been more suitable for him. I feel like in madden the do a poor job of portraying Larry Fitz's domination

I don't see why it wouldn't be Larry Fitzgerald. Pasta you mentioned Big Ben probably won't get it because they've been featuring him a lot already. So far, they haven't featured Fitz in any way so if they were going to keep it a surprise, that would be the way to go.

http://www.intensedebate.com/people/pastapadre pastapadre

Makes sense yeah. I still believe it will be either a receiver (Fitz, Andre Johnson) or safety (Ed Reed, Troy Palamalu). Just my gut, though I wouldn't count out Adrian Peterson either.

DAVON BESS

joe thomas? lets just curse the bright spot for the browns organization.

Mo Diddley

The only reason Joe Thomas seems to play well is because his other fellow linemen let their man beat them to the QB before he let's his. Joe " Overrated" Thomas is just an aiiight player nothing more.

I think it should be Matt Ryan. It's sorta signaling a new beginning. Like an ushering in of a new era. Which is the way I think EA wants people to perceive this years Madden.
