Earlier today EA Sports revealed the remainder of the candidates for the cover of Madden 10. As predicted last week they are Larry Fitzgerald, Troy Polamalu, and Peyton Manning. They join Adrian Peterson, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Cassel, Brandon Jacobs, Ed Reed, and DeMarcus Ware.

I’ve long been thinking that Fitzgerald and Polamalu were the top possibilities this year. With the news that they could possibly be sharing the cover it is interesting that both were revealed as candidates together in the last set. Manning remains a possibility but he almost comes across as over-marketed and possibly too costly.

The official reveal of the cover will be coming Thursday. Feel free to discuss your thoughts on who will make the cover of Madden 10 in the comments.

im feeling a fitz and polamalu cover, with all the changes and upgrades, a first time-two person cover wouldn't be surprising, also EA has done it before (with fifa i believe). Fitzgerald is the 'it' player right now and polamalu is as solid as it gets so those two should be good

Since Fight Night has 2 guys on the cover, I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes a trend for all EA Sports games this year.

If that's the case, I'd have to say Fitz and Polamalu would have to be it.

i think John Madden should be the cover. A farewell if you will

http://intensedebate.com/people/Sidewinder Sidewinder

He might still do stuff for the game in future years. Whatever they do I hope they keep the Madden name. John is one of the game's greats, and I think the name could easily be able to outlive his broadcasting career and beyond that.

i was at blockbuster video last night and they had an ad that said to reserve your copy of madden 10 and it showed ADRIAN PETERSON ON THE COVER, im not sure if its the real thging just wondering if anyone else had seen this

nagula419825

thats only who they think will be on cover.

My vote goes to Polamalu.
Brad

AP has turned down the roll. He was the cover, but a few weeks ago turned it down. He does not want to be on the cover due to the obligations it brings. The cover ath has to make appearance and all.

I'm writing my congressman for the FTC to get involved with this apparent monopoly of EA. They hold us hostage because they do not allow for a fair market. If they want to make BS game it's fine as long as they don't sign back alley deals to disallow competitors.

Time to take action fellas who's with me?
