There can be only one? EA says no, there can be two! For the first time ever (brilliant marketing scheme) two athletes will grace the cover of Madden NFL 10 on August 14th. Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald earned their spot on the popular franchise game. This may not be so good for them, many people believe the “Madden Curse” that if you’re on the cover you play horrible or get injured that season.

There were many stellar athletes that were finalists:

S – Troy Polamalu – Pittsburgh Steelers
QB – Peyton Manning – Indianapolis Colts
WR – Larry Fitzgerald – Arizona Cardinals
QB – Matt Cassel – Kansas City Chiefs
LB – DeMarcus Ware – Dallas Cowboys
QB – Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh Steelers
RB – Brandon Jacobs – New York Giants
RB – Adrian Peterson – Minnesota Vikings
S – Ed Reed – Baltimore Ravens

Do you think the curse will strike again this year?
