The REAL reason Cam didn't get the Madden cover...

Recommended Posts

After the amazing season Cam had and being the MVP, you would think that he would be the automatic choice for the Madden cover. If he couldn't get the cover after all he accomplished this past season, he NEVER will. I remember seeing the disappointment in Cam's face when he was a finalist and they would reveal that someone else got the cover. He REALLY wanted to be on that cover because he loved playing Madden so much.

I still think EA Sports snubbed Cam because of the Super Bowl post game press conference which is stupid, but they decided to put that drunk meat head on the cover though.

Welp, it's your loss EA Sports. You petty bitches!!!

Who cares who is on the cover? Is anybody going to NOT buy the game because of the cover? If so, they weren't going to buy the game anyway

My problem with EA Sports is that they know how much Cam loves Madden and for them to snub him ONCE AGAIN after being the MVP is ridiculous.

Being the MVP doesnt get you the Madden cover.  Its not about who the MVP was or who the better player was.  I also dont think it has anything to do with EA having it out for Cam.  

My best guess is that EA figured that Gronk is more well liked than Cam and/or will be more appealing to the people who might buy the game.  They are in the business of selling video games..not deciding who "deserves" to be on the cover.

Also, to all the Madden haters out there... Madden is still a great game.  If you don't like it, you probably havent given it enough time to get good at it.  Its really hard and takes time, so I understand why people dont like it.  But i think it is a great game.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
