Madden NFL 13 Discussion thread

[No More Sorrow]

Fresh off a mega contract, Calvin "Megatron" Johnson has landed the coveted cover of "Madden NFL 13."

The Detroit Lions wideout beat out second-year Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for the honor. The vote was announced Wednesday afternoon on "SportsNation" on ESPN2.

Johnson, who won by garnering 52 percent of the more than 651,000 votes cast in the competition, said he was "shocked" by the decision.

"Man, it's great," a smiling Johnson said. "Just to see yourself on this Madden (cover) and seeing all the guys that have beenon Madden? C'mon, man."

Although hugely popular, the video game carries the stigma of a "Madden Curse."

Cover looks kinda' odd. Will the Madden Curse claim another victim?

Who was on the cover last year, Drew Brees?

 

[Crippler]

Peyton Hillis was last year, Brees was the year before that.

 

[AZUCAR!]

I see.

Don't like the cover. Hopefully EA Sports changes it up a bit before it's released

If anything... he should be able to defeat the curse. Someone has to and Megatron can do it.

I was thinkin Superman was gonna do it but... Megatron defeated Superman.
