Tournament bracket style elimination already underway
Ever find yourself frustrated that your favorite NFL athlete didn't make the front cover of the Madden NFL franchise game for that year? Scoff when Brett Favre was chosen to be on the game's cover in 2009 over your favorite Quarterback? Don't want your guy to be picked lest he suffer the fate of Eddie George and Daunte Culpepper with regard to their post game-cover statistics?
ESPN and EA have teamed up to allow fan voting for this year's cover athlete. Each team in the NFL is represented by one player. Round one of voting concludes March 27th. The winners move through to Round 2 which will be completed on April 3rd. Round 3 will run April 4th-April10th. The week-long Semifinals voting will be tallied on April 17th and the final two will battle it out until April 26th, when the winner will be announced.
Just remember, as much as you may want to see your favorite player on the cover of Madden NFL 12, history has not always been kind to those given the distinction, so vote wisely!
While no release information is available for Madden 12 just yet, it has been confirmed the game will be released irrespective of whether or not there is a lockout this year.

A few things:
1. [removed] Thanks. 
2. Is there going to be a 2011 season?
3. LOL at "The 12th man" being the choice for the Seahawks. |

Arian Foster or Michael Vick are my choices. They were money in Fantasy this year. I'm sure it will be Aaron Rodgers, though.
Edit: Just realized Foster isn't even on there. Boo. |

For anyone concerned about a "Madden curse", vote for Seattle's representative in the bracket: "The 12th Man". That's either a ringing endorsement for the rabid fan-base at Qwest Field, or a sad statement on the team's lack of star players.
Also, it makes sense for them to release Madden even if there's a lockout. Along with being one of the annual cash cows for EA, there's also the precedent set by releasing an NHL game when they were locked out several years ago. |

| Thanks to both of you for pointing out the typo. :) I've always spelled it incorrectly cause, I believe, I've always pronounced it incorrectly. ^^; |

| Hopefully there is a football season after all thats going on. I think Aaron Rodgers should be on the cover beast of a QB!!!! |

| I like the idea of choosing for the Madden cover. I get ranked each year in the top 100 but I think I would like to see Mike Vick(Favorite Player), Josh Freedman(Favorite Team), Darren McFadden(Favorite Madden Team). Hopefully the gameplay is better then Madden 11 |

| Would've been cool if some of the winners from the first round were in almost all cases obvious. Go 12th Man! (though Rodgers is gonna win in the end) |

| 12th man all the way, more out of pity that anything. I will say in Seattle's defense that having been to many Seahawks games the crowd at Qwest field does live up to the hype. |

| I will never, EVER understand in a million years how the New Orleans Saints somehow managed to lose a first round bye in the playoffs. |
