I keep seeing this rumor and saw a suposed picture of the cover. Anyone else seeing this?

No thanks. He was healthy for like five games last season. No reason for him to be there.

I think that is wishful thinking by some people. They aren't going to pick someone coming off an injury. I would be willing to place bets on someone like CJ Stroud being on the cover

The script is in, boyos.

Madden cover, 5 primetime games after finishing last place, Super Bowl in Louisiana...

How have past players on the Madden cover performed? I don't play Madden, but was Brady or Mahomes ever on the cover?

They both have and they were also both on the cover for Madden 2022.

Also here is a list of all player that have been on the cover since 2000 for anyone interested:

This is an interesting perspective. Joe winning his first SB in Louisiana would be a hellova story. Might say we would have home field advantage in that one. He's just got to stay healthy, along with several others.

I’ve updated the log.

I think it would be cool. **** curses, Madden or otherwise. Joe B has already broken em.

I wasn't planning on buying Madden this year but may have too.

If Joe is on the cover it would be the first time a Bengals player was on a cover of a game since NFL Street with Chad Johnson.

Good lord. Isn't this fact. I remember our first playoff win in a bazillion years. And the second and third. Holy Geezus. The guy running through his yard with the flag resonated with me. I might have even teared up on that when I saw it. Not  sure. If I remember correctly, 2 games were won with a FG. It doesn't get any more dramatic than that. 

Joe has a no BS game. The stuff that rattles us, doesn't fear him. If this cat doesn't do anything further, he will still be one of the greatest Bengals in my heart. However, this is only the beginning. I love this road trip we are on. And until we run off the edge of the cliff like Thelma and Louis, it's going to be a fun ride.

Drink Up!

I saw the short teaser last week and am on the McCaffery train.

The curse hasn't been a thing for 15ish years now, people need to get over it (wrote that on Twitter and someone refuted it with Peyton Hillis, not realising that Peyton Hillis was a career scrub that had 1 insane year).

Me every year since 2019: I'm done wasting money on this copy & paste, lazy football sim. Nothing the Bengals can do will make me ever buy this game again.

2020: draft Burrow (bought Madden)
2021: draft Chase (bought Madden)
2022: new Bengals uniforms (bought Madden)
2023: white helmets (duh..bought Madden )

Seriously...we all know what I'M gonna be doing if Burrow graces the cover. I gotta stop lying to myself.

I might have to upgrade, even though I never play Madden anymore.

Christian McCaffery is the Madden poster boy this year
