Well it looks like it's going to be Hillis vs Vick in the Madden cover finals. So who do you think will win the cover?

Hilis beat Rodgers, there's no stopping him now. I personally love it, but I have a feeling this is gonna be the last and only time EA lets people vote for the Madden cover with more than 5 nominees.
They've done it before. And what they did is they completed ignored the fan vote and went with their own thing. For instance, last year Drew Brees did not win the fan vote. Adrian Peterson did. And the year before that, neither Polamalu nor Fitzgerald won the fan vote. Ed Reed won. So it would not surprise me if they completely ignored Hillis if he did win.Hilis beat Rodgers, there's no stopping him now.

Thank god Aaron Rodgers lost... I was ready to give up on next season if he made the cover...
I voted for Hillis because I don't want to look at Vick while I am playing Madden, but part of me hopes he wins and gets a big bull prodding from the Madden curse...
I want Hillis for two reasons. One, he reminds me of old school NFL. Hard, tough running. Smashmouth football. Second, Vick has already been on the cover, he doesn't need it a second time. I do think Vick will win however. monkeytoes61Needs the cash
I know. It sucks going against Vick, who is considered a Madden God. I simply ban them when playing with friend. Ravens are my team. That being said if they had Kolb, they wouldn't be as popular, so my statement stands :P
Lol, well maybe not AS popular, but I think that's a given since Vick is a 93 and Kolb is a 77. Still, even without Vick, they'd be tough to beat with all the speed they have on offense. I like playing with the Ravens too. They're probably the most legit all around team. Their corners are weak, but their playbook generates enough pressure that it's a nonissue. You can really play any way you want with them and that's the only team I can think of that's like that.I know. It sucks going against Vick, who is considered a Madden God.

Yeah, vick is kind of the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. Cover fastest receiver in the game? Fine,I can do that. And Maclin? OK, I can do that. And McCoy? OK, I think I can do that. And cover an above average tightend? OK. "Oh, I forget to mention my QB is probably faster then your entire team." I tried using the Colts... can't do it.I know.

Vick defenitley! I undertsand if you hate him because of what he did off the field, but on the field this guy is a committed nfl player who could beat the browns and peyton hillis anyday.northcarolina29Not in arm wrestling :/

The only reason I can win with the Colts is because I can out shoot them. Manning + Clark is a lethal combination and unstoppable for a team with a bad/average linebacking corps. It's half luck though. Like, if you don't win the coin toss and you don't get the extra possession by kicking it off first, you'll get outscored.I know.

I just can't imagine hillis on the cover, he's a decent rb, but the browns make him look bad because he's a talneted player on an untalented team. northcarolina29I think Hillis won people over by single handedly winning them games this season. I mean, he carried that team on his back and took his licks while doing it. He's the definition of tough and his bruising running style is fun to watch. He wore down at the end of the season (understandably I think, considering he's the only productive part of the offense). I think that was also in part because teams recognized him as the biggest threat. Anyways, I would honestly LOVE to see a guy like Hillis make the cover. So many times it's that flashy guy making it and I just want to see this guy who puts his head down and pushes through the mud have his moment.

It just feels a little strange since a BROWNS player is on the cover and the browns went 5-11.
Hillis can't win... no way they can manage to fit his arms on the cover :/No_Hablo_Inglesrofl, I think if Hillis wins they'll do the same thing they did the last 2 years and put Aaron Rodgers on it instead.

Yeah, his team sucked, but remember Calvin Johnson from a couple of years back? He had 1300 yards and 12 TDs on a 0-16 Detroit team, but he got some cover buzz. I don't think people would be mad if he made the cover haha.

:lol: averaging 2.5 Tds and more total yards in second halfConsidering that Vick was garbage the second half of the season I want Hillis.

[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]:lol: averaging 2.5 Tds and more total yards in second half He wasn't garbage but he definitely wasn't as good. Didn't he have zero picks until like week 10 or something? Still though, if he averaged what he did at the second half of the season over the entire year, he'd be MVP-caliber.He underwhelmed in the playoffs though.Considering that Vick was garbage the second half of the season I want Hillis.

He was good,he just wasn't wasn't mindblowingly awesome in some of those game. Even as a Vick fan I knew there was no way he could keep that up. He didn't beat the eventual SB champs, but came damn close (not saying it as an excuse)Considering that Vick was garbage the second half of the season I want Hillis.

It always happens with running QBs. They ruin everyone's **** for half a season, then get figured out.Considering that Vick was garbage the second half of the season I want Hillis.

Let's see how well he does next year. Then we'll know how good he really is because people will be prepared for him.frostybananaagreed, if there is a next year :(

Maybe he's talking about Josh Freeman?!?!? lol (Who would be a great choice for the Madden cover one day)
Seeing this makes me want to sucker punch McDaniels even more. Although the rumor down here is, Hillis was cut because he mistakenly hit on McD's wife at some event. hockey73traded(for BRADY QUINN, if I remember correctly), not cut.
