Looking through wikipedia and according to rumors he had heard I saw a more information about the game jinxed history, the Madden NFL, a football equivalent to EA takes FIFA sport each year.
Their covers are fully gafes player coming out in front, the player who has problems and the last type were also Manager (trainer) GAFO to the coach. History
Covers - "The Curse of Madden [edit] Speaking of Madden NFL, also talk about the covers, many people, increasingly referred to as the" Madden curse. " This is the chronological history of this famous legend:
Up to 99 - John Madden took the cover provided. (Remember, that never played due to injury in preseason with her first and only team, the Eagles, who made him leave; auqnue then won a Superbowl as a coach)
1999 - There are two versions that year in the first, a photo of Barry Sanders, the legendary running back Detroit Lions , great among the greats of the sport. Presented this first cover with a player was Barry Sanders, could not fail, impressive sales growth. But after a few days of the date of leaving the game, Barry Sanders announced his withdrawal. First blow.
pulled out a second edition, this time with Dorsey Levens, another great runner, having run more than 1000 yards in 1999, the following year, in 2000, only got 224. To make matters worse, the considerable drop in income, the next year was cut by the Green Bay Packers, and began its decline, culminating in 2004 when he retired, having spent disappointingly for Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants.
2001 - Another runner, Eddie George, this time from the Tennessee Titans, appeared on the cover of Madden NFL 2001. The season of pormetía happy, but unfortunately, during a playoff game against Baltimore Ravens, Eddie George suffered a "fumble" (ball that falls to the ground and is a "free", the first one to take) with bad luck, that fumble was intercepted by the Ravens, returned for touchdown, and his team was eliminated. After this setback, the following year suffered an injury and since then his production as a runner was never the same. Another blow for Madden, who fed his legend each year.
2002 - It was good of frustrated riders, this time it was the turn of a quarterback, was none other than Daunte Culpepper, who earlier this season, made a wry face with his left knee, which caused an injury that knee that would be out of action for the rest of the season. In fact, since then, has not been the same Culpepper, being currently in Miami, and discussing much his job.
2003 - Again I have used Running Backs (brokers) for this issue, the "lucky" was Marshall Faulk, another great of the greats, running back St. Louis Rams. In that 2003 season, Faulk twisted his ankle running out of play the rest of the season, and since then his career has returned to 1000 yards a season. Moreover, in April 2007 announced his retirement.
2004 - Tired of established stars, the EA Sports put the sights on a rookie, that the previous season, had surprised all and sundry, it was Michael Vick. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback, who surprised with a very versatile game, saliedo much of the pocket, running too much, and with a powerful arm, he was named rookie of the year 2003, things could not fail, EA sports, had chosen a young guy, and talented. However, suffered a fractured fibula during a preseason game, the brilliance faded.
2005 - Tired and offensive players, they tried to turn the tables with a defensive player. Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravens linebacker, and one of the best, if not the best Linebackers that this sport has had a pretty good season. Until, as you could not expect anything else, he broke his wrist and could not play the last game year. But the "curse" did not end there, in 2006, Lewis suffered an injury in week 6, which sidelined him in the hospital the rest of the season.
2006 - Donovan McNabb, quarterback of Philadelphia, would be the cover of this game, already reached legendary fame. In the first game of the season, McNabb was hit in the chest which caused a sports hernia. McNabb, strong and tough as they come, refused to have surgery during the season, playing in pain with injections and with a lot of trouble until the tenth game, when another injury, now in the groin, forcing him to retire for the rest of the season. But as happened with Lewis, the curse did not end there last season, the 2007, was making some impressive numbers, leading the ranking of the Best Available quarterbacks, when half of last season, broke his knee and missed the rest of the season. It has already been operated on but there are rumors that point to that has been crippled, (we'll see in the next.)
2007 - This year's Madden got two versions, one classical, the NFL game, and a new version dedicated to the coaches, make a team Manager. In the first, the cover was for Shaun Alexander, Seattle Seahawks running back and until then MVP (Most Valuable Player) in the league last season it was really special. During the first game of the season, Alexander broke his left foot, decreasing very significantly its production of yards and still low 6 weeks after it appeared, but has not regained those numbers that made him the player MVP, is currently still teneindo inconvenience, and has not fully recovered from breaking his foot.
In the other, that of Manager, appeared in the edition Head Coach, Bill Cowher, former Steelers head coach, that the ring after winning the previous season, in this in 2007 fell sharply, resulting in a decision that he had something thoughtful: He left the team and the Football, has retired.
2008 - This year, the lucky MUCHS discussed whether it would be Tomlinson or Manning, but EA Sports, bet again on a Rookie quarterback, the "lucky" in this edition of Vince Young. Last year was chosen Rookie of the Year, and their numbers, despite starting mid-Temprado were very good. His game, which resembles something of Vick or McNabb, it is very vesátil and dynamic. It is questionable what will happen this season with him, you segurirá the "curse" of Madden?, Or you may break it, in any case, this legend is part of the attraction of this game, which helps to get excited about each season and learn and enjoy some more of this wonderful sport.
For the seventh consecutive year, Vince Young suffered an injury that could leave at least a week. The NFL's offensive rookie of 2006 left the game against the Buccaneers in the third quarter with marker or 3-3, after suffering a strained right quadriceps in a race to the left for two yards.
