FIFA 14 Cover Vote?

[jpg]

On most EA Sports games they have a vote each year to decide which player will be on the upcoming year's cover, such as Madden, NHL and NBA. In NHL, for example, the public vote online in a sort of player 'face off' system starting off with 60 players (2 from each team) until a winner is decided (Though I'm not exactly sure how the 2 players from each team are decided..).

It got me thinking how cool it would be if they did the same for FIFA. I'm aware it's a contract thing as they've now gone with Messi after Rooney was featured for 7 consecutive seasons. Also there are a lot more teams in different countries to take into account so the voting system would be a little tricky to establish but nevertheless it would be a fun aspect in anticipation of the new game each year. Plus, to make it so that it's not repetitive whereby the same player is continually featuring each year, the player may only appear on the cover once and therefore is not eligible to feature in the vote ever again.

What do people think? Avoiding the usual suspects like Rooney, Messi and Ronaldo, who would people would vote for?...

I think you have to include Messi, because he's simply the best in the game.

Along with him I suppose any of...

Falcao - proven prolific goalscorer and someone every budding striker should look up to, also the third best player in the world in my opinion.
Gotze/Kroos - Rising stars who young people should take inspiration from.
Zantetti - An absolute legend
Mata - Popular and proven in both La Liga and the Premier League, as well as on the international scene. Well respected and humble too.

I guess these are just players I like, but a mix of experience and youth is good and always someone who is a credit to the game (i.e. not a diver/vicious player).

It's also worth mentioning that a lot of countries will feauture their own players. Messi will appear on every copy but for example in France it's Benzema instead of Hart and Ox.

Let's say each country may only vote for players which feature in their respective nation's leagues.

Am I alone in really, really not caring?

Am I alone in really, really not caring?

No, I couldn't tell you who's on the cover this apart from Messi? I don't think I've even looked at it

[beatski]

Dirk Kuyt

Pirlo

[Henry Hoover]

If the Fifa fans had their way, it would inevitably be Heskey.

Am I alone in really, really not caring?

I'm not saying I'm bothered by who's featured on the cover at the moment, just think it would be a fun/interesting thing to do in anticipation for the game each year rather than always featuring the same players.

If it isn't this then I will be devastated.
