CFLstyle Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Who do you think will be on the cover of Madden next year and when will the Bills ever get on??? Does anyone know if there has ever been a Bill on the cover in the history of the game? I would say LT but there was a running back on the cover last year so I suppose it will be Chad Johnson or Peyton Manning/Tom Brady.

As for next year...who knows? At this point of the season, I would give Drew Brees a pretty big nod as leauge MVP, but that is just me...maybe LT?
CFLstyle Posted November 30, 2006 Author Posted November 30, 2006 Right, I just did a google search and the first year they started putting players on the cover was on Madden 2001 with Eddie George. http://www.footballdocs.com/madden_curse.html
MavBavButav Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 i know a guy who works for the EA Sports developmental team and he said Madden 08 is really going to concentrate on the Special Teams AI portion of the game, and he told me they are seriously considering asking Moorman to be on the cover.

The cover has gone hand in hand with the addition of positional gameplay which corrresponds to the player...this year was the year of the running back and last year was the year of the quarterback. The year before that it was Ray Lewis and there were new gameplan options on defense. That being said, something to enhance receiver play could be a possibility, the question is who is this year's sexiest receiver? Steve Smith? Chad Johnson? Leeeeeeeee?
CFLstyle Posted November 30, 2006 Author Posted November 30, 2006 I would say they're going to go with Chad Johnson if it's a receiver, he seems to be the most popular around the league. If Lee Evans really heats up down the stretch and the Bills play some winning football then he could be a possibility, although I won't get my hopes up.
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 This was the last season for the Madden franchise if the nerds at the EB Games were telling the truth, and its going to be called something completely different next year. My question is this: When they change the name will the Madden cover jinx go away?

JimBob2232 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Hmm...LT is a good choice. Wouldnt be suprised at all to see Chad Johnson on there. He is a very marketable commodity these days. Just throwing some other names out there 1. Reggie Bush (Still very markatable, plus has the new orleans thing going for him) 2. Drew Brees (i cant believe his numbers. nearly 20% more passing yards than Peyton manning, who is 2nd!) 3. Larry Johnson 4. Carson Palmer 5. Peyton Manning (he is a marketing whore)
BigDaddy12 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I agree it should be Tomlinson Actually the way he plays this week may earn him the Madden cover.....lol
R. Rich Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 How do you know this? Any link? 852317[/snapback] I don't think he was saying he knew it as a fact. It sounds more like he's reporting a rumor he overheard...

MattyT Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 They should go a different direction and put Jason Peters on the cover. I'm sure there are plenty of action packed blocking photos to choose from.

ko12010 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I think they switch from an offensive to a defensive player each year. I think it would be a defensive guy in 2008. Urlacher?
