DirtySkin21 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I'd really like to see a tribute to taylor someho on the upcoming madden. I think it'd be nice if they gave him the cover. HE was OBVIOUSLY becoming a dominating force and was only gettin better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voicekiller Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 That would be pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browncl Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 While a tribute would be cool (throw him in as an unlockable player or something), having him on the cover yet not as a character on a roster in the game could be weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinSince87 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 not gonna happen 1. The Madden cover person gets paid like 200k, doubt they wan to give a person no longer with us that money 2. The cover person endorses Madden with commercials and appearances 3. Maybe a limited edition special cover but thats highly unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Boy Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 a perfect gesture..it would probably break the Madden Curse too.. i'd rather have Romo sits to pee or Brady on the cover though LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfWashington Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 There was a thread on this before. It was locked. Plus there are a lot of reason why this can't happen. I'm unsure of the specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinklein Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Not gonna happen. Darrent Williams wasn't on the cover...:whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.TaylorMade Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 i really don't think it would be in madden's best interests to have a deceased player on the cover... it would almost be making money off of a dead person... it's not right in some unexplainable way...

ewmartin7776 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Although this is a nice gesture, I don't think it would be a good idea (of course, EA Sports would never do that - and I have to agree). As a marketing person with my own company, the number 1 reason why they should not do that is because of the way he died (robbery gone wrong, gunshot, murder, etc.), it would be too painful a reminder if you had to see him on the cover everywhere. There are a multitude of other reasons, but this is the primary reason I'm sure that the EA Sports people are thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySkin21 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 those pofits can always be donated. and darrent williams wasn't one of the best players in the league. i agree neither is more important but we are talking about a football game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sekhmet728 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Sean Taylor was a great player and I love him, but he probably wasn't gonna make the cover of Madden09 anyway. It's probably gonna be Adrian Peterson or Romo sits to pee *cringe* I think it would be great if Sean were unlockable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W1N_SKINS Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 lets just put the whole Dallas team on it btw i think vince has broken the curse...or has he sat out a game or so due to injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeysc23 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 no no no! I mean I miss ST too but come on lets be realistic. NFL players have unfortunately died before and not been recognized like that. Lets hope for Romo sits to pee to get it and the Madden curse to live on.

BAFGA Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Put the whole damn Cowboy organization on the cover. Agreed. Tony Romo sits to pee or bust....hopefully he'll get his face busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passizle Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 That would be awesome, but you know that wont happen. By the time the 09 version comes out, ST will be "old news" (no dissrespect). You can bet dollars to doughnuts that next years coverboy will be Adrian Peterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Madden should put in a Cheat Code that lets you unlock Shawn Taylor as a Safety for Every team or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttr77 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Can we please stop making suggestions like this? The NFL and the Redskins have done their jobs with tributes. Now it's time for each individual person to move on and honor him in their own way. Please stop asking others to honor him for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redman Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Good God, people! Enough with the Taylor tributes and memorials! He was a soon-to-be-great player who was tragically shot young in life. It's a terrible loss. But now let's get back to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Jam Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 No... I have a better idea. Let's put Fassell on the cover. There is a curse you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
