How many Madden games are there

There is not a freaking Madden curse, it is the curse of NFL football. If you play football there is a pretty good chance you will have some type of injury.

it just so happens the ppl on the cover get some sort of injury the season after the madden game is released?

Are you one of those people who believe in coincidence?

because it isn't real...

I didn't say that not being on the cover made you invincible... injuries are apart of the game, but it is very strange that just about everyone who's been on the cover was injured

(I can't say everyone, because I really dont know)

OK Palomolo(however you spell it) was injured this year as well as the year before. Larry Fitzgerald was not injured. Both on the cover of Madden 2010, now was one cursed 2 times because there were 2 guys on the cover or is it just the nature of the game?

Well no matter which one got injured ppl are still going to think that there is a curse (me included) Troy P was injured (twice I think) this season... and it kept him out the whole year.... It's really a matter of opinion.... (obviously) but it seems way beyond coincidence when just about every year the person on the cover is injured, and I do agree it is a violent game.... if it wasn't there would be a whole lot less injuries...... and fans

[Marc2k6]

I agree Troy P was cursed 2 season in a row just because there were 2 player on the cover. The next person to be punshised by the curse will be Larry Fitzgerald for the next 2 seasons. Madden better stop puting more than one player on the cover, this curse is going to cause way to many injuries. Just imagine if they use the Saint team photo for Madden 2011, we will have an entire team injured for the 2010 season.

Ray Lewis was injured when he was on the cover
same for McNabb
same for Shaun Alexander


Troy P was injured twice this season and kept him out of 15 and a half games....

which is still keeping pace with the whole if you're on the cover you will get injured... by putting 2 players on they lower the percentage of it being one of them by 50%

Yeah... it sounds ridiculous... but I don't believe in Coincidence...

oh yeah... forgot about the stint between the injuries.... you know.... being too busy watching the Ravens

[Wacko4Zacko]

Why dont they start putting coaches or just Team Logos on the cover. Or just put John madden on the cover, its not like he'll injure himself.

Then he'd probably die that year. Then we'll be stuck with Kornheiser 2012.

this is pretty informative, even though it is from wikipedia.....

[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madden_NFL#Madden_Curse"]Wiki- Madden Curse.....[/url]

If you don't like wikipedia, there's this-

[url="http://armchairgm.wikia.com/History_of_the_Madden_Curse"]Something else on the Madden Curse[/url]

2000: Barry Sanders (Retired + began the curse)
2001: Eddie George (Fumble AFCDG vs Tennessee + would average less than 3.4 yds/carry for the remainder of his career)
2002: Daunte Culpepper (knee)
2003: Marshall Faulk (ankle- never rushed for over 1000yds again)
2004: Michael Vick (broken leg)
2005: Ray Lewis (hamstring)
2006: Donovan McNabb (Hernia in 2005, ACL in 2006)
2007: Shaun Alexander (foot injury, career declined rapidly)
2008: Vince Young (calf- don't know if he missed any games)
2009: Brett Favre (torn bicep- though he didn't miss games)
2010(1): Troy Polamalu (MCL + PCL, missed most games)
2010(2): Larry Fitzgerald didn't suffer from the Madden Curse.

That's looks like it may be more than coincidental.....

Then all the copies will get recalled when there's a clip of Kornheiser talking about how the cheerleaders "dress slutty"

Dark Light that was a trick question and I was waiting for a wrong answer but you are right that football is one hell of a curse and it takes out a lot of players every year! LMAO!

He Injured his arm and was out for I think 3 or 4 Games. It was the year where they gave him the Black arm band up near his shoulder on his bicep.

Wrong Ray Lewis missed 1 game in the 2004 season.
