lol, that's just too funny...

It's actually the Madden curse, not EA. Vince is just injury prone.

Last year, it was jason kidd on the cover, the year before was stevie franchise, the year before was garnett, the year before was duncan, and the year before that was walker. All of them had great seasons when they were on the cover.

You can't call it the EA curse just based on one season...

 

Its actually the EA curse.

First it was Randy Johnson for Baseball then it was Vick, then it was Dany Heatley for hockey....Vince Carter remains to be seen if he continues the curse.

 

Well Vince is supposively suppose to play Monday so... We won't be able to disregard this 'till then.

So you're saying it has to happen only one year to be considered a curse??

That's funny, I think it is a EA curse, Vince and Vick were on the game cover this year and got injured.

Lets just say it may have started out as the Madden curse as you call it, but it has evolved into the EA curse now. I wish we can take a poll on this one because this is the first I have heard of the Madden curse.

To anyone listening...is it the EA curse or the Madden Curse?

 

its definetly the EA curse

that's the best you can do?

I dont' watch hockey so I can't comment on that, but Vince has been injured the last two seasons, and if he's injured now, it's just a trend, not a curse...Randy Johnson was 40 years old, and throwing 200+ innings every year. He was bound to get hurt...not to metion he's a strikeout pitcher which runs up his pitch count...

that covers the span of....ONE sports season

 

did u just say "i dont watch hockey" to him talking about SLAM magazine?

loool

if im mistaken, my bad

Now you are making excuses about why people are injured? If they are injured then they are injured. Having 3 out of 4(vince is pending) major sports figures on the covers of EA all injured for extended periods of time is why it is called the EA curse.

Yah its one season, buts thats how the whole curse thing got known in the first place...because of the injuries that happened this year.

Even some newspapers had articles on the EA curse which included hockey, basketball, football, and baseball. If people call it the EA curse and even news publications call it the EA curse and even the number 1 basketball magazine calls it the EA curse than thats what I'm gonna call it.

 

How do you explain jason kidd and kevin garnett in the last two covers.

 

hahaha that cover is mad funny!

You Vince fans need to chilex, Im a huge Vince fan too, he'll get his thing together, dun blame it on some EA curse. He's just injury prone. Whatever he's made out of.... must be soft as hell tho.

You still haven't explained why it is the Madden curse.</div>


Arite, let me break it down for you then:

Madden 2001: Eddie George
the 4 years prior to cover: almost 5,400 yards rushing, 3.9 yds/carry
The 4 years since the cover:: 4,600 yards rushing, 3.3 yrs/carry

Madden 2002: Daunte Culpepper
season prior to cover: 33 tds 16 ints 98.0 rating PLAYOFF BERTH
season of the cover: 14 tds 13ints 83.3 rating (not to metion 20+ fumbles) MISS PLAYOFFS

Madden 2003: Marshall Faulk
season prior to cover: 2000+ total yards, 21 TDs PLAYOFF BERTH
season of the cover: less than 1500 total yards, 10TDs MISS PLAYOFFS

Madden 2004: Michael Vick
season prior to cover: 16 tds, 8 ints, 81.6 rating, PLAYOFF BERTH
season of the cover: 4 tds. 3 ints, 69.0 rating MISS PLAYOFFS



NBA LIVE 2001: Kevin Garnett (averages 22ppg 11.4rbs and 5 asst)

NBA LIVE 2002: Franchise (averages a career high 21.6ppg, and career high 7rbs)

NBA LIVE 2003: Jason Kidd (MVP candidate, lead his team to the NBA Finals, cursed, I don?t think so)

NBA LIVE 2004: Vince Carter (when is he not injured, o he must of somehow been cursed the last two years too)

 

I think the whole EA/Madden curse applies to guys that have been healthy the whole career but after the cover they go down. Everyone knows Vince gets injured if the wind blows too hard.... lol

Am I just talking about basketball?? I am talking about the 4 major sports. I am talking about the cover in general, not just one sport.
