Madden Decides to Share the Curse
The Madden Curse occurs every year to the (un)fortunate football player that graces the cover. Some players have been injured and lost an entire year of their careers due to it. Brett Favre seemed to get by pretty well last year. He was hurt, but didn’t miss a game. Of course, missing the playoffs and playing for the Jets have been considered curses in some parts of the nation. When you consider the possible consequences of being the Madden cover athlete, who would want that honor?
Two players, Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald, have been chosen to grace this year’s cover, which means there’s apparently enough curse to go around. Having two Pro Bowlers and Super Bowl contenders on the cover is a nice change of pace. Since the cover athletes normally hint at new additions to the gameplay, can we expect this installment placing a greater emphasis on safeties and wide receivers? Make sure to check back for more updates.

Nice. Two great NFL players.
this is a good tactic to confuse the curse… hopefully it works haha
two curses for the price of one, great.
Both great players. Which athlete is on which cover, personally I would like to have Larry Fitzgerald on th PS3.
@BGR8Mc187
thats exactly what the cover looks like. the cover will have both players on it at the same time.
Look at that… TWO a#%holes that need haircuts! I couldn’t really care less about who’s on which cover of what game, but I’ll say this: it’s always interesting to hear about how the “Madden Curse” has struck again. I cannot remember the last time I played Madden (it’s been THAT long) but these graphics may be just enough to get me back into the game.
@Jeneric
lol that made me laugh.
hahahah stupid football players.
I love troy polamalu – shame he has to share the cover – but Larry Fitzgerald is a great guy to share it with.
