Beginning today and continuing through April 27, fans can participate in a bracket-style voting campaign and choose among 32 candidates (one representative from every NFL team) to appear on the cover of Madden NFL 12. Fans&#8217; votes will determine which NFL players advance through the seeded bracket, culminating in the reveal of the Madden NFL 12 cover athlete on ESPN&#8217;s &#8220;SportsNation&#8221; on April 27.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It seems to me that you&#8217;d put Jean Madden on the cover of the game named after him, but I guess Electronic Arts figured it was someone else&#8217;s turn for a change.  So they&#8217;re going to have a vote so you can pick which football player (pictured) will be featured on the cover of the next Madden.  I&#8217;m going to vote for Pele.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
