You can almost guarantee it will be Big Ben on the cover in 2010
I'd think Adrian Peterson would be a more likely candidate.
<rant>That has been the pattern. Over the last few years this game has had an amazing ability to actually get worse with every release. I finally gave up on EA's product last year (didn't buy the favre cover). Since they got the monopoly on the NFL, it seems the product has been on a constant state of decline to the point of unbearability. I haven't seen the new game but at this point I'm obviously skeptical. This is extremely ittitating because its not just another game. This is football! I really want a good football game!!! </rant>
It will separate the superstars a bit from the above average players (mainly because certain categories were so important - like speed).
The worst thing to happen was the demise of the 2k NFL games. Whether you were a 2k fan, or a Madden fan, the competition was good for everyone. It was funny how many Madden fanboys at the time couldn't see that and thought it was a good thing.

Or he sees how competition is a good thing and helps push both sides to create a better product. This is why monopolies are frowned upon. EA has zero incentive to improve Madden since the same idiots rush out to buy it every year and then complain about it, then go buy the new one. Rinse and repeat.5 years later, and you 2K fanboys still can't let go.The worst thing to happen was the demise of the 2k NFL games.

I've never baught a 2k football game in my life, but it is better for consumers if there is legitimate competition as it forces producers to increase their quality, or lower the price of their product. In a monopoly, EA can do whatever the #### it wants. In this case it doesn't want to do anything.
I was a 2K guy, but I would have been upset to see Madden go away, for the very reasons others have hit upon.5 years later, and you 2K fanboys still can't let go.

That's mostly a problem because they game "progresses" players too quickly. I think there's somewhere around 3 progression points in a season. Plus additional ones in the playoffs if you make it there. There are ways to work around this on the PC versions, but nothing for the consoles.
Considering there is no PC version, i'm not too sure how you would go about doing that.
I meant the previous PC versions.
do you really think they are sitting around smoking cigars going "hehe - we fooled em again'I wouldn't hesitate to call them inept or not good at it - but ignoring what makes them lots of $$ - cmon - those conspiracy theories are silly. Im not a gamer per se - i sit down and play it for fun once in a blue moon and it seems fine - it entertains me when Im lazy.jasvic said:Or he sees how competition is a good thing and helps push both sides to create a better product.

It's not a conspiracy theory that EA Sports doesn't work hard on improving Madden, its fact. The gameplay is totally messed. It takes 5 minutes of playing in practice mode to realize it. And its been like this for as long as i can remember, which is at least the last 4-5 years.do you really think they are sitting around smoking cigars going "hehe - we fooled em again'I wouldn't hesitate to call them inept or not good at it - but ignoring what makes them lots of $$ - cmon - those conspiracy theories are silly.

If it's not good - it's not good because they have the wrong people telling them what to do to improve it.
And yes - $10 for Madden 2008 or so is a much better deal than a $60 Madden 2010 or whatever.
