Favre is a cursed as you can get right now... Here's the long list of curse evidence... Madden 1999 - Garrison Hearst in a playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons, Hearst would go down with a knee injury and wouldn't play again until the 2001 season. Madden 2000 - A week before training camp opened for the season, Barry Sanders retired leaving the Detroit Lions with no effective running game. Madden 2001 - Eddie George averaged 3 yards a carry (a career low) and only ran for just over 900 yards rushing while battling a nagging toe injury. Madden 2002 - After appearing on the cover Culpepper went on to throw just 13 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions before having his season ended in week 11 because of injury. Madden 2003 - After appearing on the cover Marshall Faulk missed five regular season games due to an ankle injury. Madden 2004 - Five days after the cover was released, Michael Vick fractured his right fibula. Madden 2005 - Ray Lewis would have no interceptions after having made six the previous season. He would also be injured during week 15 of that season and be forced to miss the last game of the year. Madden 2006 - Donovan McNabb would battle a sports hernia the entire season only to get knocked out of the game against the Dallas Cowboys and have season ending surgery. Madden 2007 - Shaun Alexander would miss six starts due to a fractured foot. He would go on to fail rushing for 1,000 yards in season for the first time since 2000. Madden 2008 - Vince Young's would go on to throw for less than 2,500 yards with 17 interceptions. Young would go on to be hurt and miss his first NFL game because of an injury. Up until that point, Young had never missed a game due to injury during his NFL, college, or high school seasons. Superstitions have been around for a long time in sports, but the Madden Curse is a pretty good one with a long and lengthy history. Consider the CURSE ALIVE AND WELL.

They're not even trying anymore. They don't change anything except the rosters with each year. I'll just let my friends buy it. there are too many GOOD games to buy this year. Although, I do like the choice of Favre for cover athlete. Gotta respect #4. I’m with gunny on this one. They’re not even trying anymore. They don’t change anything except the rosters with each year.

I just don't think they are innovating as much as they used to. I traded the last Madden back in about 1 week after buying it, I thought the gameplay was just horrible, and he sidelines had about 3 animations, it made the players look like they were part of a Chorus Line. Made me want to puke. Sorry, no Madden this year for this gamer. After the last Madden, I will never buy another Madden game. I just don’t think they are innovating as much as they used to.
