Dick_Cheney Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Something about this made me oddly emotional. Â Also probably the best covers the game has ever had. I'll pick up one as a collector's piece. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̀¶ì¶g̀¶g̀¶s̀¶TBD Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I think a big component of the "Madden Curse" is that EA used to pick a player who only had one good season instead of consistent success.  Peyton Hillis and Vince Young were absolutely ridiculous choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWK Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I'd buy it, but Madden sucks, especially for people who like to play franchise mode. Madden 09 on the Wii had a better franchise mode than any Madden has had in years. It's a nice cover and a cool thing, but the game itself has been the same for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapperCam Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 The last Madden I played a lot of was Madden 08 (with Vince Young on the cover). I loved the soundtrack, mini games and franchise mode. The new Madden games focus too much on realism, I prefer a more arcade-style gameplay. Â At any rate, pretty amazing for a Bill to be on the cover.

StHustle Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 BTW everyone this decision was made last year but Madden died so they put him on the cover instead. So last year was actually the Madden jinx season. Explains a lot! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on some deductive reasoning, I now think it's staged. - home night game - all blues - no gloves on any fan so early season  based on those, it would have to be from the Titans or Packers game. A highlight review of both games doesn't show JA doing a crowd jump in either game. Also, although there's a hand covering most of the area (intentionally?) it looks like the jersey he's wearing doesn't have the captain's patch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BLUES Brothers Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 When the Bills were in the mediocre stages (around 2014), WGR was asking how will you know when the Bills are good again...i called in to say "when we get back to being on Prime Time Games". Grateful they are getting those opportunities, and now having a player grace the Madden cover is another awesome tribute to the team's hard work and focus. Go Bills! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO I can’t answer as I’m not a social media w****, but I would assume that the people crapping on him are fans of afc teams and the rest are people that only remember the last game that he played.   anyone that knows anything about football knows he’s elite.  nothing to see here.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dma0034 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 They had a photoshoot recently to take these pics but didn't tell anyone what they were for (which is how the Madden stories started) Â Allen is one of the Top 5 most popular players in the NFL rn and they already did Mahomes.... this is a big win for the Bills, fans and EA imo.
