Yuck.  Why are parts of his uniform coming off?  The extreme close up, the hideous gloves, the black and white background with a teeny tiny Ford Field...  Quite possibly one of the ugliest covers I've seen this year.

Weak cover = another crappy game from EA

at least it's not Cam Newton

DERP

Ps Dick Butkus FTW

Wow did they really need to make Megatron look so stupid?

god awful cover, they should have kept the image from the picture above the post.

The cover is weak. It looks like a knock-off horror movie cover and the movie is about a Black Football player that is scared of Footballs.

It's lame, they seem to get lamer every year..

Uh... There is something about this I don't like. I think they made Calvin too big and there are barely any of those cool effects that are on the previous covers. I don't know... Just doesn't look good.

Jazz hands!

The background's nice touch. But his face looks kind of derpy. Overall: Weak.

Better with kinect? I have not seen anything about Madden 13 having kinect controls O.o

wow just look at his teeth

Not very creative for a Madden cover, I must say.

Don't really care if the cover isn't very creative. I've been a Lions fan since I was a little kid and I'm totally stoked CJ is on it.

Just no!

Sucks to be him, Madden Curse and all
