Ray Lewis Madden 2005 Cover boy
As a Ravens fan I'm terrified. This is the worst sports jinx there is right now.

I knew the curse was to be mentioned.

It might sound dumb, but what if EA tried regionalized or variant covers? Each city/region would have its local MVP/hot star on the cover, or they could release like a different cover for each division. Just a thought.

Wouldn't want to inspire any sort of "Pokemon" gotta catch 'em all mentality either...

At least with the regional cover idea the curse would be balanced out equally amongst all the teams.
I wish they would put John Madden on the cover like they used to, but with this curse going around I'd hate to see something happen to him.

Maybe it will be a mugshot on the cover. It will go well with all the ill beatz on the soundtrack.
I'm a linebacker, a car jacker, a people whacker, a booty smacker! Word!
They could do a Madden classic cover with O.J.
Hmmmm.......I can even think of a cover boy for NBA Live that has been on the news lately.
I do not like criminals very much.

Anyone notice the ESPN College Hoops curse as well.
First Jay Williams and then TJ Ford. Both have had horrible luck.
Ray Lewis will be fine. Its anyone around that murderer that should be worried.

I agree - this will be the year that the curse is broken.
As a football fan that can appreciate good defense, Ray Lewis is the best at what he does. He deserves the cover more than those of year past (Vick & Culpepper come to mind.)

I knew someone was going to post something like that. Though I do see your point. The guy is a GREAT player but not a role model for kids IMO. He's lucky he's not sitting in jail right now.

Guess the game needs some "street cred"...

I dont necessarily think he's a real bad guy, he definately is a thug, and he made some poor decisions in the past that he had luckily managed to recover from.
