The fuck is this nonsense

OK, that's pretty bad. Stick with one image instead of this collage junk.

---

No fuckin way is that real

I kinda kinda like the special edition covers, they look like old 80s game boxes

But they're still pretty awful lmao
---

i think it looks pretty good

gotta grab dat fortnite ADD generation

---

New gen, New template

---

awful

the previous cover was much better

---

The MVP Edition is the only decent looking one but regardless who cares, the game is bottom of the barrel effort shit.

---

Looks terrible but Ive been doing digital the past couple years so no issue here.

the main pictures with him holding the ball, and him with his arm up spinning the ball would have been perfect with just that.

---

Someone's mentioned that it looks like a memorial cover. The third one, especially lol.

is the cover curse still a thing or has that died
i stopped following who they were putting on the cover when i stopped playing madden like a decade ago

---

EA probably just has no idea what to do now that the "Madden Curse" is dead.

I can kind of see what they're going for, but speaking as someone who does this for a living there is no real composition to how those photos are placed and it looks amateurish

Ehh, Mahomes was injured last year so it was a thing but he won the super bowl so it wasnt a thing.

---

They couldn't do the usual photoshoot with Jackson due to Covid

The MVP one is the least bad but still bad
---

That standard cover hurts my brain. Why so much empty white space? Terrible.

---

I like how the standard cover would be literally fine and nobody would even notice they couldn't do a specific shoot for it if they just used the primary picture of the collage as... the cover.

Yeah seriously, that's a million times better.

Looks like some collage I could of made as a kid with 90s Powerpoint.

As abusive as they are toward consumers, they know people will buy anything they put out. No need to go to all the trouble of having an engaging cover. These are the guys who won't fix the problem or apologize if the game crashes whenever there's an interception.
