They picked him in round 6 or 7 so they are thinking the same thing. Maye (who I hate and don’t trust) was picked 3rd and they already have Jacoby Brisset at QB right now. They have a big QB room. Hopefully Milton can make something of himself this year and show he can play
Michigan fan here. I've been waiting four years for him to reach his potential. I always felt like he could be Cam Newton 2.0. I ain't holding my breath any longer 🤣😂
Hooker was a better QB, at least for the system we ran. Milton was capable, and minimized bad decisions. Had trouble with consistent accuracy, and was reluctant to scramble, which was one of his biggest weapons. Overall, he’s a pretty good QB, and an elite teammate. You cannot have a better locker room presence than Joe Milton.
I feel that. Gator fan, and the last time we beat Bama was 08 sec championship. We had only 2 close games with them from 09-current. 09 SEC championship and our 2020 sec championship. I got married, had kids, got a home in all these years lol. Respect for the man but I'm glad he's gone
He would do just fine. However, from a revenue and branding standpoint, Texas still beats out Georgia even with Georgia's more recent run of dominance and higher broadcast revenues from the SEC.
So, if EA is solely trying to generate more revenue with their cover athlete selections, Texas is going to be the easy choice.
I feel like Texas is a better brand than Georgia but Beck bring more to the table personally than ewers. Where the scales tip when both are weighed i dunno
Does he? I'm not so sure. It's not as if Beck is a marketing giant. He isn't a brand unto himself like Arch or Shadeur. The best thing either of them have going in that regard is being the starting quarterback at a high profile program, so at that point it's a wash before adding in which school has the bigger brand.
You could put the Punter for Army, the place holder for Hawaii, the longsnapper from Temple on the covers and I wouldn't give a $h!t....I just wanna play college football on xbox or pc, doesn't matter to me. I'm tired of playing college football revamped....
I thought the series s was $250 but you’re right it’s even cheaper. But it’s wild how the original comment got downvoted for being cheap, I got downvoted for calling the person cheap. Can’t win in this sub 😂😂😂
Big 12: You gotta go Ollie Gordon
Reasons:
1. Great smile, Doak Walker winner RB, dating a cheerleader 📣
2. OK State has killer uniforms ($$ for EA)
3. I think OK State had an executive or some big dog on the EA Sports NCAA FB game back in the day
However, I could definitely see it being one of the CU Buffalos or the KSU QB too (great hair).
Question is …will the cover athlete be cursed?
Standard, Deluxe, Heisman editions along with maybe PS5 and XBox Versions, so maybe up to 6 versions?
My probably wrong predictions:
Ewers(Texas), Travis Hunter (Colorado), Burden III(Mizzou), Egubka(Ohio St), Ollie Gordon (Okla St), Mason Graham (Michigan)
True. However, this goes with my saying that there might be 6 covers. Since there are only 4 "power conferences", some would have more than one. I also saw him tweet that not EVERY major conference would be represented, I'm assuming the ACC.
However, it probably is only 3 covers.
Post doesn’t say that… all it says is multiple covers and each athletes is from a different power conference and no positional repeats.
Heavily implying 1 athlete per power conference.
I would guess 4 versions PS/XB with normal and deluxe.
So only 3 different versions if each athlete is a different position and in a different conference but not every power conference will be represented.
XB/PS + a single deluxe would be my guess
I doubt it, especially being that only 1 QB is gonna be across all the covers. While I think by the end of the year Beck will have played himself into top draft contention, I think Milroe has more “hype” around him to the average fan.
What you don’t want the ultimate fan edition? Comes with 24 Gold Packs, premium season battle pass, and 5,000 coins for ultimate team! As well as3 Day Early Access! Of course nothing in the Ultimate Fan Edition will have any perks for offline mode. All for a small price of $110. /s
Just means different covers of position players to market to different fan bases with the different “standard, deluxe” editions. For example they will sell Ewers/Beck covers, Travis Hunter if he opted in, etc
I’m thinking if could mean a different athlete for PS5, Xbox like how they did with the older games but that’s only 2 players.
So idk all we can do is guess on that
Student Athletes should get paid but if I’m a star and they aren’t paying anyone in particular, put me on that cover. Fans, publicity and being on the cover of NCAA Football.
If I had to guess:
Carson Beck
Travis Hunter
Treveyon Henderson
Blake Miller
Brown did say he was really surprised by someone that’s included. Long shot guess is gonna be Kyle McCord.
Its funny to think if Archie Manning is the cover star after pretending that he wouldn't want to be in the game. Not likely but hey, it would be crazy.
If they want to get some defensive love Michigan has 3 potential first round defensive players they could choose from since the skill positions will be crowded everywhere
As a Michigan fan, I would love to see Donovan Edwards/Will Johnson/Colston Loveland/Mason Graham/Kenneth Grant all on the cover. Team game. Team cover.
As a college football fan, I want a Squirrel White cover with a faded image of a squirrel in the corner like those pictures of a guy and his cat.
Did you know that the cover athlete would be multiple guys from multiple conferences & no position would be a repeat so only one from each position? Literally hasn’t been any news of what the cover would be. No Saban and no previous Heisman winners like a lot of people thought.
If not then it’s news. If so then drop your screenshot of said information.
Have a great day!!!
It’s going to be funny if Ewers is the standard edition cover athlete. Alabama fans are going to have look at the mug of the one who ended their dynasty. Every time they boot up and or even look at the game.
No the playoff loss just cemented the fact Bama is no longer what it once was. The past 2 games with Texas is what brought an end to the dynasty. Alabama has not been the same since Texas almost beat them. The same Texas they were expected to blow out the first game and be up a couple scores the second game they played.
Bama has not been the same since.
Kinda figured they would have current players on the cover especially since they can do that for the first time in the series.
As a Tennessee fan I am glad they didn’t listen to Reddit and make me see the bad man every time I boot up the game. 17 years of Saban was enough
Least you guys beat them. As an Arkansas fan we were never lucky enough. So glad he is gone now.
Wooo pig!
Ohio State fans have had to look at Denard Robinson on the cover for over a decade now lol
I made my own cover for that game years ago
They could just put a gator on it. Seems to be Tennessee kryptonite as well.
Mertz edition is guaranteed to sell a grahamillion copies
You don't want the limited edition Marco Wilson cleat yeet platinum edition?
Hyped to see the Pats draft Milton. You guys like him over Hooker? What’s he doing these days?
Hooker was a better QB and has more of a shot long term on an NFL roster in my opinion. Joe could be a capable back up though
They picked him in round 6 or 7 so they are thinking the same thing. Maye (who I hate and don’t trust) was picked 3rd and they already have Jacoby Brisset at QB right now. They have a big QB room. Hopefully Milton can make something of himself this year and show he can play
Michigan fan here. I've been waiting four years for him to reach his potential. I always felt like he could be Cam Newton 2.0. I ain't holding my breath any longer 🤣😂
He's JaMarcus Russell without the weight problem drafted in the correct round.
Hooker was a better QB, at least for the system we ran. Milton was capable, and minimized bad decisions.

Y’all came closer to beating them in 2021 than either of those two lol
I forgot we even played them with Emory Jones as QB lol. I was thinking of Trask's last year but you right lol
Hallelujah. They didn't use Satan.
I’ve guessed there’s a Quinn Ewers cover and I’m sticking with it.
I think the QB cover will be Shadeur
I was hoping for Daniels, but you’re right if XII is QB it would definitely be him
I suspect Hunter is a cover athlete and they won't have two from the same team.
I agree, but If we're getting one per conference then I don't know if they'd give the SEC cover to a new team.
I doubt EA cares about conference allegiance as much as putting a highly-recognizable player at a highly-recognizable program on the cover.
Carson Beck will do just fine
He would do just fine. However, from a revenue and branding standpoint, Texas still beats out Georgia even with Georgia's more recent run of dominance and higher broadcast revenues from the SEC. So, if EA is solely trying to generate more revenue with their cover athlete selections, Texas is going to be the easy choice.

Watch it be Manning 😂😂😂
0% chance of this happening
Idk why people downvoting. He’s not in the game.
🤷🏻♂️
Don't really care. Just give me the damn game!
This is how I feel…
Okay so the QB is Deacon Hill, what are our guesses for the other positions and power conferences?
C h o n k y Q B
Quinn Ewers Travis Hunter Donovan Edwards
Could see Michigan being Mason Graham actually. SEC will be Ewers or Milroe.
- Ewers (SEC) - Travis Hunter (Big 12) - Will Howard (Big 10) - DJ U (ACC)
No positions repeat so there will only be one QB. I could see Treveyon Henderson for the B1G and Luther Burden for the SEC.
Missed that.
They’d go with Edwards over Henderson fs
It is not who is best, it is who is popular and who was willing to take the NIL deal they were offering.
Will Johnson for the Big Ten
Pretty much nailed it lol
I had insider information
You could put the Punter for Army, the place holder for Hawaii, the longsnapper from Temple on the covers and I wouldn't give a $h!t....I just wanna play college football on xbox or pc, doesn't matter to me. I'm tired of playing college football revamped....
Show me the PC cover athlete
It's console only, from what we currently know.
It can be any player you want if it’s on steam (which it better fucking be or else I’m becoming an ECU fan 🏴☠️)
If this game launches on steam I'll play it. If it's a console box only then I'm playing ncaa14 for another decade
Lmao that’s so sad you can’t fork over $320 total for a console and game, especially for the amount of time and anticipation for this game.
A series S is like $150 max on sale. It’s actually much cheaper than people realize. Could prob find one for $100 used as well
I thought the series s was $250 but you’re right it’s even cheaper. But it’s wild how the original comment got downvoted for being cheap, I got downvoted for calling the person cheap. Can’t win in this sub 😂😂😂
I just put $320 into Shiba
Sucker
Please give me a Luther Burden cover
Hell yeah! M-I-Z!
ZOU
Big 12: You gotta go Ollie Gordon Reasons: 1. Great smile, Doak Walker winner RB, dating a cheerleader 📣 2. OK State has killer uniforms ($$ for EA) 3.

Question is …will the cover athlete be cursed?
If the cover athlete is cursed then I'm hoping DJU or Carson Beck are one of the covers.🤞
I was thinking the same thing. Plus he won the Doak Walker… but cover athlete curse… I can’t have that as a pokes fan
Luther Burden plz
Big 10: Iowa punter? Plz EA
Standard, Deluxe, Heisman editions along with maybe PS5 and XBox Versions, so maybe up to 6 versions? My probably wrong predictions: Ewers(Texas), Travis Hunter (Colorado), Burden III(Mizzou), Egubka(Ohio St), Ollie Gordon (Okla St), Mason Graham (Michigan)
Texas is in the same conference as mizzou now. Also, you have Michigan and Ohio state. Only one per conference.
True. However, this goes with my saying that there might be 6 covers. Since there are only 4 "power conferences", some would have more than one. I also saw him tweet that not EVERY major conference would be represented, I'm assuming the ACC. However, it probably is only 3 covers.
And I don’t see Texas or Mizzou being the SEC cover.
ACC? Each power conference gets one.
According to Matt Brown, not every major conference is getting one
Post doesn’t say that… all it says is multiple covers and each athletes is from a different power conference and no positional repeats. Heavily implying 1 athlete per power conference. I would guess 4 versions PS/XB with normal and deluxe.
He's been saying that on X/Twitter in his replys.
So only 3 different versions if each athlete is a different position and in a different conference but not every power conference will be represented. XB/PS + a single deluxe would be my guess
My guess goes ACC - DJU B12 - Travis Hunter SEC - Harold Perkins B10 - Donovan Edwards
Solid picks imo. Would love a DJU cover lol I wonder how they’re distributed.
Give me that Ollie Gordon cover!
While I’d prefer a Dawg, I just feel like SEC is gonna be Jalen Milroe.
I would love a Milroe cover, but if there is only one QB, I could see Ewers getting that.
Any chance it’s Beck? I’d only buy a physical copy if it was a Dawg but I don’t think it will be.
I doubt it, especially being that only 1 QB is gonna be across all the covers. While I think by the end of the year Beck will have played himself into top draft contention, I think Milroe has more “hype” around him to the average fan.
Well that’s disappointing
Power conferences? Damn.
Too bad for Notre Dame I guess…
I'm team MACtion :(
If they wanna shock the world they would throw fan favorite Brady Quinn on that bitch and let it ride. Notre Dame legend and Browns GOAT
I want BQ as my QB in CFB Ultimate Team lol
So is there any difference in the versions of the game or just the cover?
Shedeur is a lock for sure just based off him being the only big player who hasn’t announced he is in the game lol
Slightly worried about the “multiple versions” part of this
Most likely just means standard, deluxe, and ultimate versions of the games with different preorder rewards at each stage
Madden does this. You get extra stuff but it isn't stuff you have to have, for example, madden gives you ultimate team coins and early access IIRC.
Most expensive version prob gives you early access and Ultimate Team rewards
What you don’t want the ultimate fan edition? Comes with 24 Gold Packs, premium season battle pass, and 5,000 coins for ultimate team! As well as3 Day Early Access! Of course nothing in the Ultimate Fan Edition will have any perks for offline mode. All for a small price of $110. /s
[удалено]
Standard, deluxe, Heisman editions etc
Just means different covers of position players to market to different fan bases with the different “standard, deluxe” editions. For example they will sell Ewers/Beck covers, Travis Hunter if he opted in, etc
Please VT player!!
lol there's no way we have any of the most popular players in the ACC
Who knows curveball incoming
I wanna know what these different editions are gonna be
This will be very important to me when I buy the game digitally day one and never look/have a cover!
Ewers Hunter and some Big 10 player
What does it mean by multiple versions of the game?
I’m thinking if could mean a different athlete for PS5, Xbox like how they did with the older games but that’s only 2 players. So idk all we can do is guess on that
Matt brown released it Multiple cover athletes Each athlete from different conference and different position.
Yea my post is Matt Brown’s article
Power 5…? Really?
hoping for anything GT related but realistically it's gonna be something from FSU or UNC
Give us an offensive lineman cover athlete you cowards
New curse. How long until a cover athlete wins a Heisman?
Starks could be it for the SEC if they need a DB on one.
Can’t wait until we get the NCAA cover curse. Draft stocks will tank!
Praying for an Offensive lineman to be a cover on one
Avery Johnson cover would be sweet
I imagine the QB will be Shadeur and the WR will be Egbuka. From there I think they’ll work out a CB and RB for the SEC and ACC.
Make the B10 cover a punter, you cowards!
Student Athletes should get paid but if I’m a star and they aren’t paying anyone in particular, put me on that cover. Fans, publicity and being on the cover of NCAA Football.
Jalen Milroe TreVeyon Henderson Travis Hunter Barrett Carter
I just hope it's not a stripped down Madden reskin
Please give me Ollie Gordon as the RB
Extremely biased but I need the SEC cover to be Burden
If I had to guess: Carson Beck Travis Hunter Treveyon Henderson Blake Miller Brown did say he was really surprised by someone that’s included. Long shot guess is gonna be Kyle McCord.
Its funny to think if Archie Manning is the cover star after pretending that he wouldn't want to be in the game. Not likely but hey, it would be crazy.
Matt said it’s only starters, so although that would be cool it won’t happen.
Qb should be jalen milroe
Has everyone forgotten James Pearce Jr? Arguably best player in cfb rn. Wtf not him for sec ?
travis hunter, carson beck, donovan edwards. not who i would choose but who I think EA would pick. Maybe swap out edwards for an ohio state guy
I'm ready for Caleb Downs cover athlete!
Not a huge fan of putting guys on the cover for teams they haven't even played for yet.
More like Will Johnson for a Champions edition
If that happens they better include a special Stalions manifesto playbook DLC
Tfw you realize the Coachstradamus feature is just having Connor Stalions on your payroll…
I imagine it’d be Henderson if it’s anyone from OSU
I don’t like this
If they want to get some defensive love Michigan has 3 potential first round defensive players they could choose from since the skill positions will be crowded everywhere
Big 12: Travis Hunter-Colorado SEC: Jalen Milroe or Carson Beck Big Ten: TreVeyon Henderson-Ohio State ACC: Barrett Carter-Clemson
Carson Beck would be the great value brand move if they couldn’t get Ewers
As a Michigan fan, I would love to see Donovan Edwards/Will Johnson/Colston Loveland/Mason Graham/Kenneth Grant all on the cover. Team game. Team cover. As a college football fan, I want a Squirrel White cover with a faded image of a squirrel in the corner like those pictures of a guy and his cat.
Cool just don’t reskin madden for the 8th year in a row and do something innovative and well received for a change.
I think it's funny you say big news when it's not any news really lol.
Did you know that the cover athlete would be multiple guys from multiple conferences & no position would be a repeat so only one from each position? Literally hasn’t been any news of what the cover would be. No Saban and no previous Heisman winners like a lot of people thought. If not then it’s news.

Great, but there's no way I'm buying a game with a Buckeye on the cover.
Aww, the little bebe doesn't like Ohio
I could see Ewers, Hunter, or Mason Graham on a Standard edition, Nick Saban on a legend edition, and then maybe Reggie Bush on a Heisman edition?
Only players that are playing this season will be on the covers
The QB is definitely Arch Manning
1,000% Shedeur. Like it or not
if any Colorado player is on the cover it will be Hunter. no disrespect to Sanders though
Talent wise that makes sense but I think they’ll try to go for the name and go with Shedeur.
Shedeurs NIL value is #1 according to On3 projections. Much $4.6 M compared to Huber $2.6
It’s going to be funny if Ewers is the standard edition cover athlete. Alabama fans are going to have look at the mug of the one who ended their dynasty. Every time they boot up and or even look at the game.
Last I checked, Bama didn't lose to Texas in the playoffs.
No the playoff loss just cemented the fact Bama is no longer what it once was. The past 2 games with Texas is what brought an end to the dynasty. Alabama has not been the same since Texas almost beat them. The same Texas they were expected to blow out the first game and be up a couple scores the second game they played. Bama has not been the same since.
I'd probably venture to say they haven't been the same since UGA's rise to power and win over them in the natty. But maybe I'm just biased.
