Madden 25
The Madden 25 cover vote has it's two winners facing off for the right to be on the cover. NFL Hall of Fame Running Back Barry Sanders won the "Old school" side of the bracket, defeating Jerry Rice in a very tight rice. I'll also call it a mild upset, considering that I believe Jerry Rice is the best to have ever played the game. On the "New School" side of the bracket, Adrian Peterson defeated Arian Foster to earn the right to face off against Sanders for the final vote. Unlike Barry's victor over Rice, which was by a margin of 52% to 48%, Peterson won very comfortably, snagging 68% of the vote. The vote is available now for the finals, with the winner to be revealed next Wednesday, April 24th, so get your votes in now!

April 17, 2013 – Today ESPN SportsNation announced that Barry Sanders will face Adrian Peterson in the final round of the Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote. The stage is set for an epic showdown as two of the greatest running backs of all time square-off. Voting highlights from the semifinals include:

· Adrian Peterson posted the largest margin victory, with 68% of the vote against Arian Foster.
· Barry Sanders won with a slim margin victory defeating Jerry Rice, 52% to 48%.
It’s all too fitting that the Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote Finals come down to Barry Sanders and Adrian Peterson, two of the greatest running backs in NFL history. Sanders has cemented his place in NFL history with his 18,000 career yards, while Peterson came within nine yards of breaking Eric Dickerson’s single season rushing record last year. Making the feat even more impressive, Peterson had his incredible year after coming back from surgery for a torn ACL in the offseason.
