Sherman and Newton Reach Madden NFL Cover Vote Finals
Defense Takes on Offense for the Ultimate Prize
May 30, in the year of our
Lord 2014 – Two juggernauts are set to battle in the
final round of the Madden NFL 15 Cover Vote as Seattle Seahawks
defensive back Richard Sherman matches up with Carolina Panthers
quarterback Cam Newton. We’ve reached the home-stretch, and this
is the last chance for fans to visit ESPN.com/maddenvote and
make their choice for this year’s cover athlete. They can also
show their support on social media by using the hashtag
#MaddenCover.
Sherman and Newton enter the finals as the top seeds from their
respective sides of the bracket, conquering some stiff
competition along the way. Sherman triumphed over NFC West rival
Colin Kaepernick in the semi-finals, while Cam Newton overcame a
strong challenge by Andrew Luck. Both Newton and Sherman will
appear in a special segment during the 6 p.m. ET edition of
SportsCenter on Friday, June 6 at LA LIVE Plaza where the
overall winner will be announced. The final pairing carries
special significance as the Seahawks and Panthers will meet in
Carolina on October 26, and while one player will stand
triumphant, the other will be looking for retribution.
Madden NFL 15 allows players to transform into their rival’s
worst nightmare with a new breed of defense, built to challenge
the best offenses in the NFL. A new arsenal of pass rush moves,
an intuitive tackling system, improved coverage logic, and
immersive new camera angles make defense more exciting and fun
than ever. Fans can call plays with confidence thanks to an

of online games played by the Madden NFL community. Add in
all-new NFL Films inspired presentation and it’s not just
football, it’s Madden Season.
