With the new Madden 12 you may have the option to make or break a “football stars” career. That’s right, you will be placed with the burden of choosing who the Madden curse will be passed on to next. Every year when a cover player is chosen for the Madden series, they either find themselves injured throughout the season or their career will be at an all time low. Now it’s your choice!
EA games and ESPN have teamed up to create a bracket-like voting system to where you can vote between two NFL players who you think should be on the cover. Mind you, the choices have been pre-made depending on who agreed to be on the cover. There are several options between two players and as time progresses from March 21st to April 26th, players will be eliminated (by vote) and whoever’s left standing at the finals will be chosen for the cover of Madden 2012.
“Whether it be from fans, media, agents, or even the players themselves, there’s never a shortage of opinions when it comes to the annual selection of the Madden NFL cover athlete,” says Anthony Stevenson, Senior Product Manager of EA Sports. “So this year we’re handing the keys over to the public. ESPN continues to be a tremendous partner of the Madden NFL franchise, and it makes perfect sense for the ‘SportsNattion’ to be the platform that gives fans the ultimate say in who graces the cover of Madden NFL 12.”
You can venture on to ESPN’s website and choose your favourite player there. ESPN will also be interviewing the candidates and providing official updates along the way that you can also tune in to. Remember, not all players are on the site, but a vast majority of them are!
