Kane99 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Do you know of the Madden Curse? It was this urban legend, that whoever was on the cover of the new Madden that year, would either get injured and be out the rest of the year, or they would suffer a poor performance throughout the whole season. Many players who landed on the cover did get injured after, but there were many other players who faced no issues. It was just random. But of course, when you're playing a contact sport like Football, you can get injured. Teams are plagued with injuries each year. It's sadly part of the game. I just think it was random chance that it went that way. Anyway, did you ever believe in the Madden Curse? I never believed it, but it is crazy how so many players got injured after being on the cover. I think the last 5 years or so, most of the players were unschathed. What did you think of the Madden Curse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I've neither been fully aware of what Madden is nor it's curse, so I can't say I believed in the curse but it's quite an interesting phenomenon to follow all the same. I don't place much stock into curses myself, and the hex having an apparent expiry date tells me it's not really all that fearsome. Apparently Electronic Arts were going to work on a comedy film about it, but two years later entertainment executive Pat O'Brien said that EA isn't working on the movie. That could mean either the whole thing was a joke, or that they're no longer working on a film that could have been in the early stages of production. Much as I would like to see such a film even though I'm not a fan of Madden, I can't see it being any longer than a five-minute skit rather than the feature-length film hopefuls may have wanted it to be.

m76 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So do I believe in a supersticious urban legend regarding a game series I don't care about. Which is about a sport I don't care about? You can guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 But they said the same thing about Fifa every year and Messi and Ronaldo usually stay fit so these urban legends have no credence whatsoever. I wondered how these even came about in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, supersticious urban legend is the perfect fit name for the so-called Madden Curse which is as far as I'm concerned an utter rubbish.

Now Messi is leaving Barcelona, I wait for FIFA to upgrade their next game with him no longer in Barcelona. It's unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how the game is. Even in normal football games, people do get injured. Though, I do agree that Rugby is really a perilous sports. 😒😟 Edited August 6, 2021 by Razor1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there might be various reasons why an athlete's performance gone down, but linking that with the a video game is utterly nonsense and funny. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
