So how would one "reverse the curse?" I have a couple of ideas, let me know what ones you think will work and what ones will backfire:
1. Put a Detroit Lion on the Madden cover. It's a win-win play. The Lions player will be good and the curse will have ended. No more Andre Ware's.
2. Put a/the Heisman Trophy winner on the cover. Keep in mind, if you use the latest Heisman winner and he hasn't been drafted yet, you might need to superimpose a few of the copies with the team that drafts him or just give him a white jersey on the cover. Another win-win option. You get rid of the Heisman jinx at the same time as the Madden jinx. Perfect. Now I can start my fantasy football draft. Again, no more Andre Ware's, Gino's, Ryan Leaf's, etc.
3. Put the #1 draft pick on the box. No more Jeff George's, etc.
4. Do a combination of the previous three. But, watch out for double reversing which can turn back into a curse. For instance, a Detroit Lion on the cover would fix the curse. But, if that Lion were a Heisman trophy winner or been the #1 draft pick, that scenario might re-curse the player on the Madden game.

5. Put a really sucky player on the cover. Then he won't suck anymore (and EA Sports will lose a lot of money selling a product with a crappy player on the cover.)
6. Put anyone in the world we hate on the cover. Maybe he'll get shot.
I think a having a 1st pick, Heisman winning Lion onthe cover would cause the poor guy to spontaneosly combust. I wouldn't be keen on standing next to him for the rest of the season.
Though you could hope that he was standing next to TO when he gets struck by the meteor and lightening bolt while being swallowed into the earth.
I agree with Andy. A #1 Heisman-winning draft pick by the Lions would inevitably cause a black hole to open up and swallow the earth, thus ensuring the Lions would never win a Super Bowl.
