Madden 25 Cover Vote

[JO_75]

EA Sports once again is having us fans vote on the cover, but it's different. This year we have a Bracket of Old School NFL Players competing against the New School NFL Players. The winner will be on the Madden 25 Cover.

For the Ravens in the first round, Ray Rice is seeded 5th going against Carolina's Luke Kuechly. Ray Lewis, a 2 seed is our Old School player going against Derrick Brooks, 15th seed. So now have a chance to get 2 Ravens players to the finals to compete against each other for the Cover. Also Ozzie Newsome is another old school player we can vote for, he plays against Kurt Warner in the first round so make it 2 Raven players and the Ravens GM.

VOTE DELHOMME

[Guest Im An Ozzie Newsome Guy]

JAKE DELHOMME!!!!!

[BMORElegacy]

I voted serious for the first round because it was prior to the Delhomme movement. I hope he makes it to the second round so I can jump on the Delhomme for cover bandwagon.

[cursona pirate]

lol Jake Delhomme? what the heck!

[JO_75]

Round 2 is under way, Ozzie Newsome lost in the first round, while Ray and Ray advanced to the second round. Lewis now faces Tomlinson in the second round and Rice faces Dez Bryant. Seems pretty easy to get Rice to beat Bryant but I have to say, it will be tough for Ray Lewis to beat out Tomlinson.

I wouldn't say that, I'd say Ray Lewis is the favorite to win it all after the storybook ending to his career this past season. We'll see though.

Plus I think people would rather have a legend win this year. They can't get hit by the Madden curse (although Megatron avoided it by being a freak of nature).

Why's it madden 25, when did they stop doing it by the year of the season?

[arnie_uk]

Also how can ray Lewis and Tomlinson be 78 and 71 percent? Maybe my calculator is broke but thats more than 100 per

That's not how their percentage against each other in the current round.It's the percentage of how many people voted for them in round one. Lewis got 78% of the vote in round one and Tomlinson got 71% of the vote.

25th anniversary edition. I don't know why, the Madden team does many things that don't make sense.

What will they do for 2025? Assuming they make it that long...

I thought it was going to be both a legend and a current player (btw Prediction 1 - Barry Sanders/Adrian Peterson...Prediction 2 - Ray Lewis/Adrian Peterson...if it is indeed both)

Hard to pick up on the internet sometimes my bad. And I know how people just want to hold on to the Madden Curse so I thought you were serious.

[/quote]I understand. Lol it would be absurd to say it affected CJ in any way since he had one of the greatest receiving seasons ever.

Here we go with Round 3, Ray Lewis now faces Barry Sanders in the third round. Ray Rice has to face RG3. We have two legendary quarterbacks facing off as the original Joe Cool, Joe Montana faces Dan Marino. 2 Rookie quarterbacks face off, Andrew Luck vs first name Russel, last name Wilson. Adrian Peterson faces Rob Gronkowski and Jerry Rice against Michael Strahan.

Vote both Rays past Sanders and RG3!

RG3 will win this round soley because of his name rhymes and it appeals to people. Shame how the media overrates players.

I think knowing his injury, Redskins fans would vote for Ray Rice to avoid the madden curse and avoid any other injury to RG3.
