Let's Go Buffalo Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Allen, the first Buffalo Bill to be on the cover of Madden. I didn't know if I would see a Bill on the cover in my lifetime, so that's cool. Now let's go win a Super Bowl! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW82 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 This is cool but if Josh so much as sprains a finger I'm blaming it on Madden. They think they can derail our season. Not gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerstAusGosheim Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 9 hours ago, The Red King said: We are cursed anyway. What does the curse do, specifically? If it reverses fortunes of successful, lucky teams, might it invert our bad luck to good? Exactly my thought. When you’re a team that’s already cursed (Wide Right, Music City Miracle, 17-year-drought, 13 seconds, Damar Hamlin) this acts to reverse the curse. Go Bills. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverOutNick Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 If our Bills weren’t the already cursed Bills who lost 4 straight super bowls, “lost” because of the music city miracle, 13 seconds away from being the Super Bowl favorites in the classic KC fiasco then I may be a little worried. But this may just be the icing on the cake for finally getting us over the SB hump…Go Josh and Go Bills! I may actually buy my first madden game in the past 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Madden curse is mostly not a thing anymore. Hope there is some power to madden curse because the curse will just negate and cancel out the Buffalo curse and viola Allen and fans in picture are blessed with a Lombardi.

Some of my favorite features in 2005: -defense is a focal point, and the game isn’t as tilted towards the pass -55 man rosters -players can progress up to 8 times per season (training camp, preseason, week 5, week 11, week 17, and up to three more times in the postseason) -the Tony Bruno Show, plus weekly newspaper coverage, game plans, and email updates -coach progression occurs yearly -retired players can become coaches -you can create your own plays -drafting is literally a crap shoot; at times this can be really annoying, but otoh it makes developing players with potential very rewarding -you can import draft classes from NCAA 2005 -the AI teams make some interesting trades between themselves, and they generally drive a very hard bargain with you outside of a couple anomalies (e.g., the 1st round pick of a team with a 5-0 record is considered more valuable to the AI than if the team had an 0-5 record) -generous salary cap increases really help certain AI teams stay competitive for years -you can develop almost any strong-armed QB you draft into a starter after 3 seasons on the bench, then trade them for picks, and in doing so you can guarantee that most AI teams will have solid play at the position for years; the league average starting QB rating in my current franchise is 91 -team morale and prestige are key factors to success; a roster with too much talent can actually cause problems for weaker coaches -custom stadiums can be built and teams can be relocated (even overseas) -unique stadium food (e.g., wings) and Fan Appreciation Day gifts (e.g., Buffalo Nickels, Niagara Falls Barrels) -default gameplay is admittedly atrocious, but adjusting the AI Assist sliders can create surprisingly realistic gameplay, including game management by the AI -the Redskins are still the Redskins Edited June 8, 2023 by Capco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 A curse can't be a part-time curse. The "curse of the Bambino" was broken the minute the Red Sox won a World Series. It didn't linger around after that - it doesn't just get all cursey when it's in the mood. There have been several players over the past decade who had great seasons and even won Super Bowls after being on the cover. That ain't a curse, and if there was one previously, it's OVER now. I hope this small primer on the nature of curses has helped. Josh Allen is winning the Super Bowl this season (sorry - jinxes don't exist either). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this small primer on the nature of curses has helped. Josh Allen is winning the Super Bowl this season (sorry - jinxes don't exist either). The "Madden Curse" was always a pretty iffy idea, even for superstitious people. Yes there are some players who got hurt or played poorly after being featured on the cover. But have always plenty of guys who played great, even back in the earliest days. Ray Lewis for example was a 1st Team All-Pro the same year he was on the game. Calvin Johnson set the receiving yardage record. Patrick Mahomes won the Super Bowl. If you actually take a look, more guys have continued to have injury-free Pro-Bowl level seasons than suffered from the so-called curse.
