Guess the Madden Cover Athlete

[BlackMetalNinja]

Next Friday is the official announcement of the cover athlete for Madden 09. Place your guesses here, one per person... and the first person, if any, to get it right will receive a prize!

My first instinct is Adrian Peterson... but I'm not going with it. My official guess is Eli Manning.

[camelcowboy]

Tony Romo :puke:

[clumping platelets]

Big Ben

[jamze132]

Michael Vick's "room mate" from prison.

[jamze132]

Seriously though, I think the cover of Madden will be Adrian Peterson or Eli Manning.

[KO1]

Romo but I thought I read somewhere though it is Big Ben, if so thats garbage

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

Adrian Peterson

[coastal]

Randy Moss

[ddaryl]

I would go with Adrian Peterson

[Luisito23]

Ben Burger....

[Mitchy moo]

Marsha Brady

[Jayhawk]

Ocho Cinco

[Mahdi]

Osi Umenyiora

[T-Long]

Definitely Eli Manning

[RockStar36]

Strahan

[Buffatexas]

Derek Anderson

[YardRat]

Tomlinson.

I have to pick somebody different to be eligible for the prize, right?

[TacklingDummy]

JP Losman

[DrGraves]

I think Eli or Adrian are too obvious of choices. I am still disappointed that vince young got on the cover... that was such a trash choice, hes a horrible qb (statistically anyways) and hasnt done anything to merit being on the cover.

Even though eli won the super bowl, i think anyone is anticipating that miracle again... Peyton Manning is well overdue and will be on it.

[DrGraves]

don't ^ think

[chernobylwraiths]

Tony Romo

[Bert102176]

Eli Manning

[VeggieMan14]

Adrian Peterson- Why? because they need someone to get injured half way through to keep the curse alive

[mikemac2001]

EA loves Strahan and i don't see them putting a QB on the cover again would make it 3 years in a row.

I see RB or a random position that they want to show off the new feature

i havent looked into the features and don't really care as of right now...but i did hear rumors of eli

but he looks like a tool so i doubt that

[losman420]

Tom Brady. then maybe he will be bit by the madden curse.:pray:

[evol4276]

patrick willis

[Marvelous]

Romo- He is the new NFL posterboy.. I woulda said Eli but he is so goofy.

[FlyingDutchman]

AP

[raphael120]

you guys are totally off. it's going to be the arab sensation, gilbran hamdan

It wouldn't be three in a row... 2 years ago was Shaun Alexander.

[elltrain22]

Prolly AP, which I would cool with. If not him, Tom Brady or maybe Favre. Whoever it is, I will not draft them on my fantasy football team.....

wish it waz Marshawn though.....

[mikemac2001]

your right skipped over him

[BlackMetalNinja]

I'm now seeing rumors that it's going to be a picture of David Tyree's catch from the Super Bowl...

Oh, and as far as new features, the biggest things I've seen so far is some sort of user controlled celebrations, which I already found the celebrations a little over the top and unnecessary, kind of like the real NFL I guess.

[hydro]

Sounds like EA is running out of ideas. How about we start just making the game aesthetically better, huh?

[The King]

Im going to take a shot into left field and say Joseph Addai.

[trapezeus]

if there is a curse, i'm sure they'll pick michael Stroud and Kawika Mitchell.

[DraftBoy]

Devin Hester

Most years the cover athlete has to do with the newest feature in Madden, I could see them working on the return game this year and using Hester as the cover guy.

[Gunzlingr]

Rueben Brown.

[Pinkerton Security]

if there is a curse, i'm sure they'll pick michael Stroud and Kawika Mitchell.

ya, its def got to be michael stroud.


waaaaaait a MINUTE! (in jerry seinfeld's voice)



in all honesty i say its gonna be AP. just seems to fit, plus hes "injury prone" so they can keep their conspiracy for more publicity (AKA the madden cover jinx) alive.

[raphael120]

Devin Hester

Most years the cover athlete has to do with the newest feature in Madden, I could see them working on the return game this year and using Hester as the cover guy.

Yeah. Anyone know what the new features will be yet?? I heard theyre putting in player specific touchdown dances/celebrations...which is stupid because in the real NFL youre not allowed to do that and you get penalized (dumbest thing in the world)

[evol4276]

it might be brady quinn.. for the madden nfl "doesnt that just suck" edition

[DrGraves]

Marshawn would be awesome, If he can put up 1200-1300 with a bunch of td's this year he could get some legit consideration for next year.

[DrGraves]

deven hester wow i didn't even think of him! I think that could be a very real possibility

[VeggieMan14]

ya, its def got to be michael stroud.

[Oaf]

Is that something new they are doing or am I just out of the loop?

This is the first year I've seen it. I only know about those two platforms, haven't paid attention to any others.
