	I was excited about naming the FIFA athletes at first. :

	BenjSKs:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:16 GMT		2 points
	Fun Quiz! Thank Sporcle!

	jonlusty2215:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:21 GMT		16 points
	"Jr." should not work for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. or Roy Jones, Jr., their last names should work, though.

	AddiSnow:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:23 GMT		20 points
	How can you not have FIFA? Just can't approve of this quiz because of that.

	JohnTheRev:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:28 GMT		32 points
	They left out Tiger Woods games :)

	Ben:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:33 GMT		3 points
	The reason that FIFA was left out was because there were too many different cover athletes for each year, sometimes upto 3 different athletes, not to mention the other countries that have a different cover athlete as well. Sorry that it was left off.

	ZeroSignal:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:38 GMT		6 points
	Two of the NCAA Football cover athletes have gone on to become Madden cover athletes! :D

	I did alright for getting none of the hockey ones. I could have swore Roy Williams(Texas) and Marlin Jackson were on the cover of NCAA at some point.

	MaxQ:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:46 GMT		12 points
	Jared Zabransky was the bad ass QB for Boise St. when they beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl in OT. Duh.

	chrispaz:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:48 GMT		14 points
	Why can't you have 'de la Hoya'? Seems silly seeing as it is his last name

	AddiSnow:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:50 GMT		9 points
	I suggest a FIFA cover game in itself then. And not just name one but all the players on the cover. Don't matter if it's the European version or American. Have both :)

	DerKomissar:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:51 GMT		5 points
	This is a quiz for North American games only, thus the lack of FIFA. I'm hoping there will be a FIFA covers quiz soon, because I spend more time playing FIFA than I do sleeping.

	punniker:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:58 GMT		1 point
	Mitch Richmond? I thought this was going to beasy somewhat easy boy was I wrong

	nearlyextinct:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 18:59 GMT		0 points
	Why wasn't there Triple Play and MVP baseball? Good quiz! Hopefully we get a 2K Sports quiz next. Was anyone else thinking "EA Sports it's in the game"?

	SilverCup:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 19:00 GMT		4 points
	I see there's not too many NHL fans around. Of the 3 most recent covers, the most guessed one is at 13.4% guessed.

	faber:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 19:04 GMT		-1 points
	I only missed 2 hockey covers...only got 34 total though

	cottb128:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 20:04 GMT		3 points
	In addition to FIFA, could have thrown Madden covers back in there too even though they have their quiz, it brings all the knowledge back. Sort of like how there's an NFL/MLB/etc teams quiz and then a Big 4 all encompassing quiz, it adds to the challenge.

	Haunter:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 20:05 GMT		3 points
	It's really hard to remember EA vs 2K...I distinctly remember having the Josh Childress NCAA basketball game and I kept trying his name. And 2K has Kobe on the new cover, so I was confused there, too.

	phils93:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 20:06 GMT		13 points
	"jr" counts for "dale earnhardt, jr.," (roy jones too), but "earnhardt" or "dale earnhardt" dont? seems backwards.

	JohnJF:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 20:17 GMT		7 points
	Some day, when I'm jobless and possibly homeless, I'll wonder why, and then I will look back on the day that I remembered fifty-one EA Sports cover athletes without even getting to name the Maddens.

	rockgolf:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 20:17 GMT		1 point
	The "jr" thing is technical. We can set the quiz up to accept "last names only", but it doesn't distinguish "jr" from a last name. To get around this we have to allow alternate answers that are the real last name. Sometimes this gets complicated.

	How do the NCAA Basketball and NBA Live versions of Carmelo Anthony have different percentages?

	Funguy2:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 20:26 GMT		2 points

	y2jdilemma:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 20:29 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz. Did a little too well. I play too many video games.

	No love for Triple Play/MVP Baseball? "Earnhardt" should be accepted for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. All of the other "athletes'" last names are accepted. Is this quiz implying that his last name is not Earnhardt?

	robschulz:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 21:55 GMT		1 point
	Haha, so everyone who typed in Earnhardt and didn't have Dale Jr register gave up? I threw in "Earnhardt," and then "Earnhardt Jr" right after that. Voila. --And I swore that Palmer and Harrington were Leinart and Carr. Thanks a lot, brain!

	anyone else notice the lack of madden nfl. or any baseball game

	Boomhauer:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 23:06 GMT		0 points
	Guys, there's another quiz specially for Madden. It couldn't hurt to have it on this quiz but it would render the other quiz irrelevant.

	mirrorlrorrim:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 23:07 GMT		2 points
	also, how can melo work for the nba one, but not for the ncaa one. if it comes in i thought it was done. makes no sense.

	Come on folks. Theres a link right to the Madden cover quiz. Sheesh.

	Miana90:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 00:18 GMT		1 point
	I only got a Hockey player.. because at the last minute I started naming what didn't blank from my mind of drivers..

	Matt8204:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 01:32 GMT		3 points
	The NHL '94 one was rough. IIRC, the Kings' player back was turned but they airbrushed out all of the names and numbers for both teams.

	starfish:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 03:19 GMT		0 points
	I know way more about football and basketball than I do about car racing, but somehow I got more NASCAR answers than anything else. I think it has something to do with all the repeats...

	switzr1:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 03:43 GMT		2 points
	Earnhardt should work for Dale Earnhardt Jr. "Earnhardt Jr." is not his last name. I am a "Junior" but my last name is not "Switzer Jr.". It's "Switzer". Also, @dmoney, JJ Redick was on College Hoops 2K7 from 2K Sports, not the EA game.

	llewdor:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 04:17 GMT		4 points
	EA's MVP Baseball is the only game I would have known, and it's not on the quiz. :(

	scotttenorman:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 08:13 GMT		-4 points
	No Madden?

	chrispaz:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 12:43 GMT		8 points
	I just realised that you can have 'Hoya', but not 'de la Hoya'. This is plain incorrect. By that logic, you think that 'Oscar de la' is his first name. This needs to be changed.
