Quarterfinals of Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote
April 3, in the year of our Lord 2013 – Today
ESPN SportsNation revealed third-round results and announced the
quarterfinal matchups for the Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote, as fans
have now cast 35 million votes throughout the campaign. In the
Old School bracket Joe Montana will take on Barry Sanders, while
Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders will reignite their rivalry in the
other matchup. In the New School bracket Arian Foster will
square off against Russell Wilson, while Robert Griffin III and
Adrian Peterson jockey for votes.
Jerry Rice stood as the top vote-getter in Round 3, trouncing
Michael Strahan with 85% of the overall vote. Even though
Strahan valiantly fought to get past Kurt Warner in the previous
round, Rice’s momentum proved to be too much for the former
Giants star. Adrian Peterson continues to run over the
competition the same way he runs over opposing defenses in the
New School bracket, garnering 81% of the vote in his matchup and
spiking Rob Gronkowski. Other voting highlights include:
· 35 million total votes cast to date
· 5.9 million votes this round, 2.4 million more than last year
· The matchup that drew the most votes this round was Arian
Foster vs. Colin Kaepernick
The stage is set for an incredible run to the finish, as some of
the biggest names of both past and present continue to campaign
for their spot on the cover of Madden NFL 25. Fans are invited
to cast their votes through their PC or mobile devices. For the
chance to “Maximize” votes, ESPN and Madden NFL 25 have
collaborated with Pepsi MAX to promote Twitter live voting every
Tuesday throughout the Madden Cover Vote campaign, where tweets
with each player’s respective Cover Vote hashtag will count as
two votes. Double votes ends at midnight ET each Tuesday.
Embraced by fans and honored by critics for 25 years, Madden NFL
is known as the NFL’s “33rd Franchise” due to its authentic
gameplay, the development team’s unparalleled access to NFL
resources and its prominent place in NFL culture.
