Couldn't go to a more deserving guy. One of the greatest of all times and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Lions fan (clearly enough people agree with me). Hopefully this game is actually good so I can pick it up.

Nice! Love watching highlights of his.

I love that they have him in his era uniform and not this new era crap uniform the Lions have...The new era would rock if they dropped the damn black highlights...

I need all the Lions fans to check something out for me. I swear Barry is wearing the uniform from his playing days but I'm pretty sure they slapped the new Lions logo on that helmet.

I think you're right.

I like both Calvin and Barry, but I'm not sure I like Lions being back-to-back.

I'm so glad custom covers exist in this universe. Call me crazy, I like having active guys on covers.

Re: Barry Sanders Named Madden NFL 25 Cover Athlete

Honestly pretty mad.

I love Sanders, but I just hate having old players on covers (other than Jordan).

If it was the both of them it would be awesome, but just him I don't like.

Should have been Peterson, especially after last year. Voting strikes out again.

I don't think that's the new logo on the helmet. It looks like the old logo with a reflection falling across it.

Since Barry won it would be nice if they added these away 1998 uniforms (my fav).
