Who doesn't love madden.

I hate madden. I loved ESPN's football games WAY better. They were also rated extremely higher not to mention only being $19.99 when released as opposed to $49.00. EA spots couldn't have that and bought them out and a license to be the only game to represent NFL players/teams etc.

Since then no more Madden for me, its a shame cause ESPN's only and first releases were such an improvement against a legendary series. Shame EA, shame but I can see why ESPN scared you..

Favre wasn't on '10. He was on 09' and had a shoulder injury for the 2nd half of that season basically with the Jets. Polamalu got wrecked hard by the curse this year.

Why does everyone keep quoting my post as if I stated Favre was on the '10 cover?

Yes, I know he wasn't on the '10 cover. However, if you read my post carefully I was alluding to the fact that he might get injured/do horrible later, as in, the last two games, and once again prove the Madden curse to be true. I don't consider the torn biceps injury thing "good enough" to warrant it as a support for the myth.

Was it that hard to understand? My post actually came from someone saying something about Fitzgerald not suffering this year - hence the part about the curse striking later.

Sorry to get anal about all that, but I know who is on the damn cover of '10 because it's right here in front of me.

In other news: I just simmed an entire franchise (no injuries at all - sim, pre-existing, etc.) with the latest roster (Moore starting) and the computer went 12-4 and won the superbowl all by itself.

Thought it was hilarious. Especially since I had traded Delhomme, Kemo and McCown before I let it sim the regular season, so even though Kemo was supposed to be available (due to no injuries), he was gone anyway.

      Peeking at the roster in 2026

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
