AZCentral.com is reporting a source has revealed that Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald will be on the cover of Madden 10. However it may not be just Fitzgerald as he may be joined by Steelers SS Troy Polamalu. You can read the full posting on the subject here.

I have actually come across some information that could confirm at least part of this rumor but I am checking into it further before posting on it. This duo certainly would be at the top of anyone’s most likely list for the cover this year and would’ve been #1 (Polamalu) and #2 (Fitzgerald) on my own. However having both share the cover would be something completely new and unexpected.

This is a complete cop-out if they put them both on it. Last year they tried to break the curse with Favre... didn't work. Now this? Come on EA follow Madden tradition and put one active, talented player on it. BUT PLEASE not AP, I don't want to get cursed.

fghfgh

the slogan for the madden cover is "There can only be one".....

CardLover

This cover model is CERTIFIED!!!

RYAN LEAF in the Madden 10 ATARI COVER!!!

pat

im not a big fan of this...the tradition was one player every year...madden wouldnt seem the same with two players...i hope just one

stealers fan!

yea it would be cool to see fitz jumping over gay a$$ polamalu in the endzone for a quick six....

Mr_EA_Sports

Big bag of smoke Pasta, my NFL sources tell me it's Adrian Peterson. Each week they release 2 players from every division to create anticipation . But my quality NFL sources tell me it's Adrian Peterson.

I still think its big ben

mculberson

Boy, I would think with Peterson's injury history he'd avoid being on the cover like the plague. At least I would if I were him.

Guru

I was thinking Johnee Lee Higgins was the cant miss choice

huddy187

makes sense look ar fight night cove two people

jj302401

id like to see vick throwing to matt jones, covered by pacman

ThBeNdS

I called Fitz in the last post about this. Gamestop in my area already has posters up of him on the cover.

Dre

I just hope they really got the camera angles right this time when you throw to the flats and the camera rotates that way. Pasta any new word on how the presentation is shaping up and how it will affect the gameplay.

Skihawks

The two on the cover makes sense since the new tracking animations are in the game.

Dre

That must be some good smoke for EA to throw up so many diversionary tactics lol :p

James

Well if they put both on the cover they better get their player models right, mostly their hair

COLTS!!!!!!STEELERS

I like it, but I don't want Troy to get hurt this year we need him.

Ramboner

Nice, i would love to see the highly overrated Polamalu on the cover of madden and bring the curse to the Steelers, he played god awful during the super bowl...i swear he tackles with his eyes closed lol

steelerman

polamalu overrated? as a lifelong steelers fan who has watched just about every game in the last 30 something years,i can tell you troy is not overrated,how many times did you see the guy play? granted he did miss a tackle in the supper bowl,i'll give you that but come on...the guy is a beast back there and the steelers would not of won their last two championships or for that matter even have made it to the supper bowl without number 43,so he is not overated,he is the best safety in the nfl along with ed reed of the ravens.

GREG CAMARILLO

WHO ARE YOU WATCHING BRO YOU MUST BE A RAVINS,BROWNS, OR BENGALS FAN

Ramboner

never heard of the RAVINS BROOOO

stlrz

What does Roethlisberger need to do to get on the cover?

As a Pitt fan I love Fitzgerald and as a Steelers fan I love Polamalu. I guess I can deal with this.

Bl4ziNbuLLd0G

i wonder however, how could they get that information? i though EA had it on lockdown......

Bl4ziNbuLLd0G

intresesting.... as this may finally have a chance to break the Madden curse.....

igjoe

hopefully lessen the curse because if they both go down it will just make things worse :P

Keith.

Pasta, why are you using a picture of Ike Taylor (#24) with Fitzgerald?

r00tabaga

Bam Morris and Steve DeBerg share the PSP cover........ok I'll stop :)

r00tabaga

Larry Fitzgerald on 360
Troy Polamalu on PS3
Bubby Brister on PS2

jj302401

brister to bad moon rising was amazing on tecmo

Dre

Wow you went old school with Brister. How about Elvis Grback for the Wii

rdogg1026

I heard James Thrash for the PS2 cover.

IM A STRAGT UP G

WELL I HEARD IT WAS WAS VINCE YOUNG AGAN

Ben

this makes sense, remember that the new fight night cover is both Ali and Tyson. I'm thinking EA is doing dual athletes on all the covers this year.

mculberson

Wow, ruin two players' careers with the Madden curse. Way to go, EA! Seriously though, I could care less who is on the cover really, as long as they deliver a great game I'm cool with anybody.

Dre

Liking typo lol

Dre

I'm loking this new idea of two players. But I also think John Madden should have his mug somewhere on the coer as well considering his name is the title of the game.

igjoe

I like the idea of having two players on the cover. Good marketing strategy too imo. The Super Bowl teams usually have the most exposure to the general public and having 2 players will please more fans who like one or the other.

rdogg1026

And will also lessen the chances of a Madden curse since 2 players need to be affected.

igjoe

Hopefully it will lessen the chances of a curse because if they both go down it will just make things worse :P
