Madden Curse: Debunked?


Recommended Posts

Now that the cover man, Calvin Johnson, and the intro man, Ray Lewis, broke Jerry Rice's receiving yards record and won the Superbowl (respectively), is that Madden curse finally debunked?

I mean, it was weird that players would underperform or get injured fairly often after being on the cover, but a curse? I dunno man.

Get Cam on the '15 cover year, just like he wanted last year (because I'm 90% sure AP or Peyton will get it for the '14 game).

CJ avoided the Madden Curse, but it laid waste to his WR teammates! Seriously, Burleson broke his leg, Titus Young went crazy, and Ryan Boryles tore his ACL.

I hope the cover was worth it Megatron!

Also went from a Super Bowl contender to not making playoffs

Madden Curse I'm really concerned about is me Buying the game.

Years I bought Madden are:

2001 1-15 year

2004 - Smith breaks his leg in the opener and Davis goes down

2007 - Jake's Elbow gets destroyed after starting out the season 8td's and 1 int in the first 2 1/2 games

and I played a demo that I downloaded to my xbox in 2010

so Yeah you dont want me playing it

The entire premise of the madden curse was that if you failed to approach the ridiculously productive performance you had the season prior or somehow got unlucky and injured (it's football lol) then it was because EA jinxed you by having you on the cover of a glitchy crap game.

"What? Shaun Alexander banged up his knee? I knew it, it's only because of this stupid madden cover he didn't score another 28 TDs this year"

If you believed in the madden curse at some point then you're retarded and eat wall paste

Hypothetically if DeAngelo got awarded the cover of Madden after his 2008 performance and everything ended up playing out the way it did, people would be saying that damn madden curse got him, and at this point since he hasn't reached 1000 yards in a season since then people would further go on to say it ruined his career

    • Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts? 
    • nope     This is why we come back every year.  Hope springs eternal
    • It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
