slightly shotgunned Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Because having two people on the cover is stupid.Why? It's a cover for a video game about... football. So why not have football players? Does it affect the game in even the least way if two, four, or forty players are on the cover?Would EA have to give up some profit to two, four, or forty players if there were that many on the cover? If so, that would be one reason for only going with one player and nameless fans rather than two, four, or forty big NFL names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm complaining. I wouldn't trade my Mac for 10 of the best PCs on the market. Β Β All roads lead to Dollar General. Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can look back and say, "Man, remember that great year Brees had in 2009?" when seeing he was on the cover. There's a certain level of honor of being a cover athlete and sharing that honor between two guys just doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really, in 5, 10, 15 years, are you really going to have 4, 9, and 14 year old video games laying around to stare at and reminisce?
