Madden 2012 Cover

[BroncoWave]

I'm posting this in Broncos Talk because it is somewhat Broncos related. This year Madden is basing their cover-athlete on a bracket-style fan vote with one player from each team in the bracket. The Broncos representative is Tim Tebow. You can vote here:

Dont vote TT...The curse. I'm serious. Everyone blows from that curse. let phillip Rivers get on the cover.

[Buff]

Has Tebow ever lost a fan vote in anything ever?

[Northman]

The Tebowites are just too strong. They will vote for TT even if it means the curse. I however, hope that AP gets it.

That's what happens when your team is defunct of talent and they have the top selling jersey in the league.


In other words....who else should be? Orton on the cover? :lol: :lol: :lol: ohhhhh my sides hurt. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I consulted my tea leaves and my astrologist, and the crystals tell me that Tim Tebow's sign is rising, so because of the power from his aura and my Raelian mind harness, they cancel the curse out.

Pretty foolproof methods say he'll be fine.

Champ is the only other guy on the team I can see being worthy of being on the cover but given how much Tebow moves the needle he was the obvious choice to represent the Broncos.

It should probably be JC on the cover but I really don't care.

[Bullgator]

Its funny how TTs critics always point to the fact that he hasnt accomplished much but yet refuse to give him a CHANCE to do so.

its not like hes been in the league for like 7 years(like some hack we know) but hasnt done shit yet either.

[I Eat Staples]

Tim Tebow on the Madden cover would be a joke. It would be flat out embarrassing to the NFL and Broncos fans. I mean come on...

Obviously no Bronco should even sniff the cover, but if we need a representative it should be Champ. Or hell, even Lloyd after last year.

Not saying he shouldn't have a chance, but putting someone on the freaking cover of Madden when they haven't done anything is more than a little silly. That's reserved for people who have already proven themselves, which TT has not yet done.

Not saying he won't, or that he shouldn't be allowed to, but let's wait until he's actually cashed in on those expectations before we reward him as if he's already met them.

Guys, let's vote for Peyton Hillis!

He is referring to Tebow's candidacy for the 2012 Madden cover.

Was Elway on the Madden cover in his first year?

I believe the quote below pretty well summarizes what Dean was getting at:

Where did I say or imply that any first year player should be so honored? Is it not the established and best players in the league who share the cover? Tebow may one day deserve to be there but IMO it is ludicrous at this point in time.

Oh, by the way, give it a rest.:coffee:

Trust me, everyone who isn't a Gator or Bronco fan would laugh their ass off if Tebow made the cover.

[BroncoWave]

For people saying it should be Champ or Lloyd instead of Tebow, it's called marketability. Madden would make way more money off of Tebow than any other Bronco. It would have been stupid for them to have picked any other Bronco.

I haven't bought Madden for 6 years now (after it started becoming crap), and if they put John Elway on the cover, maybe....

If it didn't, EA Sports wouldn't pay to have someone on the cover; they'd just continue to put John Madden on it, like they used to.

[BroncoWave]

Are you kidding me? Do you really think it doesn't? I know in New Orleans last year people went apeshit over Drew Brees on the cover and bought it like crazy. Now 90-95% of your customers who buy it every year are going to buy it regardless of who is on the cover but those 5-10% who will buy it because of who's on the cover will easily pocket them some extra money. As someone else said, if which player was on the cover didn't drive some of the sales, they'd have had no reason to have ever taken Madden himself off the cover.

So does that mean if rapesberger would be on it, sales would go down?
Imo, its just a marketing ploy to garner some more publicity. Sales will be what they are, regardless.

Nothing, but he wasn't getting the accolades for doing nothing.

At least Elway had the highest grade of any player to come out of college. Tebow didn't even have the highest grade of his class.

just sayin'

[Ravage!!!]

Its a marketing ploy to make sales. They don't pay big dollars to a persona if they haven't proved that it makes a difference. They would just have some graphic on the cover, or a general "player" image from the game. Of course the cover player makes a difference.

[weazel]

should be Champ... you know, the guy who has actually played more than a couple games in his career.

So if there's 5 to 10 per cent that bought it only because Brees was on it, presumably the fan base of whoever ends up on the cover would make up that 5 to 10 per cent regardless. Ergo, no difference in sales.

Like rc said, the benefit to EA is the BUZZ about who ends up on the coveran not who actually ends up on it.

I personally talked to quite a few people in New Orleans who bought the game because Brees was on the cover and wouldn't have bought it otherwise. So yes, who is on the cover does make some sort of difference. If not, they wouldn't waste the money paying the players to be on the cover.

the "buzz" is what creates sales. Its branding their product.

I know I've personally paid more attention to a game, magazine, book, webpage, because of who/what is on the cover. Its what draws your eye. Its silly to even suggest that EA is wasting money on marketing for something that hasn't proved to make a difference, especially over the spanned period of time.

Tebow will win this contest and be on the cover, purely because of the sales increase that would be generated. There will be people like Bullgator, that don't really know the NFL, but will buy Madden purely because of the #15 on the box.

Sales will go up regardless of who's on the cover. Just like the F150s sales will increase. There will be improvements made to satisafy more people, thus increasing the share (shared interest).
There will also be more people being added from bring introduced to the game (new drivers). As for TT, you're prolly right. But look at how many despise him, too.
If it mattered so much as to who it is, then you could also say that if a Raven gets it, then Steeler fans would avoid it and visa versa, thus negating some of the homer purchases. Likewise, I would never buy a GM pickup.

Never said it didn't help sales putting A player on the coverm but what player ends up isn't going to make much--if any--difference. Hands up everyone that wasn't going to buy Madden one year but ended up doing it because of the coverm $

Again, its the publicity around the selection/announcing who is on the cover, NOT actually who is on the cover that made the difference.

Brees might be the one exception because of the NO football history, Katrina etc. I could see a few peeps from that area wanting a Brees cover just for the cover. But it would be a pretty small drop in the Gulf though. Other than thatn were people buying Madden because Fitz and Troy were on it? Not likely, but the buzz around it probably helped.

what has Tebow done? Does anyone remember how bleak and depressing things were before he started those 3 games? He brought hope and enthusiasm back to DENVER. Too bad everyone has forgotten. Even Champ said he would like to play with Tebow...Of course, Elway has helped to dampen that enthusiasm...;)
Does he deserve the cover of Madden? I dont know about that, but who cares?

This has already been discussed and I agree with BTB on this one, but I'd like to add that sadly the product itself doesn't even have much impact on sales. EA Sports could put a pile of dogshit in a case and call it Madden and it would still sell.

Sadly I'm in the guilty crew of buying it every year even though it sucks now. :tsk:

[Dzone]

The Tebow haters would be thrilled with a MURDERER on the cover:lol:

[FanInAZ]

:confused: This game is supposed to be designed in a way that accurately represents the strengths and weakness of every player on every team :confused: So the Broncos team on this year's additions should have the strengths and weakness of a 4-12 team :confused:

I think I'll pass on this year's addition and wait for next year. While were on the subject :D Does anyone know how to get a copy of Madden 97 & 98 that will work on Windows 7 :D

[zbeg]

If people like Ray Lewis and Michael Vick deserve to be on the cover of Madden then so does Tim Tebow.

I don't follow this logic. First of all, when Vick was put on the cover of Madden, it was long before the dogfighting thing ever happened. They didn't retroactively put him on the cover when Vick went to prison.

Second, EA tends to put players who have actually done something on the cover of their game. Even if one of them was tried and acquitted for murder. Tebow has not done anything except start three games in the NFL.

"Being a nice person" was never the reason why these guys were on the cover in the first place - so why would it stand to reason that TT should get a shot because he is a nice person?

Now if he does something on the field, sure. But right now putting a guy who has done essentially zero in the NFL and propping him up as a guy who has accomplished awesome things is more than a little ridiculous.

At some point, he's going to have to show what he can do. If he is successful, then he'll be this generation's Brett Favre (oy vey). If not, then he'll eventually be forgotten and every now and again people will say, "Remember Tim Tebow?" and have a chuckle the same way we remember Brian Bosworth.

[Ravage!!!]

Depends on your perception. Anyone can be arrested and charged. The point being, they immediately dropped the 'charges' to withholding evidence, and couldn't even come up with enough evidence to convict him of that. So the previous "charges" of murder were removed by the prosecutor.

If you wish to refer to a person that couldnt' be convicted of withholding evidence as a "murderer".. thats your business. I personally find it to be inappropriate and wrong. But thats just my perspective.

Either way.... I don't think Tebow is a candidate for the cover because he's a "nice guy." There are a TON of nice guys in football.

No, I don't think Ray Lewis is a murderer, and I don't believe I ever said so. However, when you're talking about the marketability of a person, people do perceive Lewis as someone who went to trial for murder, and that hurts his marketability.

But in spite of all that, he found his way on the cover of Madden anyway. That is to say that on-field performance matters much more than what happens off the field, and is a reasonable criterion for putting someone on the cover of the game. So Tim Tebow, while he seems to be a perfectly fine person, is not suited to be on the cover of the game while Lewis, who withheld evidence in a murder investigation, is.

Broncos fans maybe, but if Tebow wins, it won't be Broncos fans that put him on the cover. It'll be his gators fans. He won't win, by the way, Jammal Charles is pasting him right now. And he should. He has accomplished much more and is at this point a better football player. Now if Champ was the representative, he would deserve it much more than Charles.

Not based on last year's play. These players aren't picked for their career achievements, they are picked because of last season's achievements.

Makes sense to me because Charles has accomplish far more in his pro career the TT. Give TT a few years as our starter and then maybe he'll have a chance.
