The Madden NFL Thread

I remember playing my uncle's copy of Madden NFL '94 on Sega Genesis every time I visited him. Though was 4 at the time it released and as I got older, I could have been playing '98 or '99-I learned a lot from '94. I remember on of the best moment was when I was playing Madden NFL '94 returning a punt and I was a kid just fooling around-I kept spinning causing one of my opponents to fall. Then a large margin of them came at me yet I still spun and all of them fell down-I couldn't believe it! All of a sudden the camera turned the opposite direction (I guess that was their cinematic idea) showing the touchdown ready to be taken and I took it. That was awesome-unrealistic but awesome.

Believe it or not, I don't have a copy of Madden NFL 10-I'm still playing 08 on my PC with updated rosters and drafts. I'll pick it up before the end of this year for Xbox 360 since it seems to be no PC version releasing after 08-EA Sports explained that they are retooling the PC version.

So what are some of your favorite Madden NFL moments? Ever blocked a field goal (which is hard by the way)? Have you beaten Michael Strahan's sack record? Post.

Here's another moment I just experienced-I was playing as the Dallas Cowboys against the New England Patriots hold a 6 win streak in Madden NFL 08's franchise season. I had 14 points and the Patriots had 42-they were killing me. Now all of a sudden, when the 4th quarter starts, usually John Madden and this other guy would discuss my team needs to get back into the game but they didn't say sh-t! I swear, I thought they left the stadium box shaking there heads. I felt ashamed...funny that was the only time that happened.

The moment I remember and lothe is the NFL giving EA an exclusive contract to make NFL games. 2k5 is still the best game made and I can't wait until that contract expires and we get another great game from sega. Even with the new changes to Madden 2010, 2k5 is still the best NFL game ever.

Well, atleast your honest but I agree, ESPN NFL 2K5 is the best football game ever-All-Pro Football 2K8 wasn't bad either though it's too bad it's bad sales, the franchise ended after that one release. I do miss the competition but the time for it's comeback is less than three years away so we'll see.

Memorable Madden Moments? I was playing Madden 2010, doing a franchise as the New England Patriots and was playing against the Buffalo Bills in the first game of the season. I had to punt the ball and the ball came down on the 2 yard line. The Bills tried to run the ball on first and second down but lost a yard. The ball was now on the one yard line, they were pinned deep with their back to the endzone and needed 11 yards for the first down. On 3rd and 11, I blitz with 6 guys. I was controlling the LE (Ty Warren) and went around the RT and nailed Trent Edwards as he threw the ball. The ball went in the air about 5 ft and my NT (Vince Wilfork) hopped up and caught it for an INT touchdown. Awesome, awesome defensive play. I've done this twice. On the other play I hit the QB and Ty Warren snagged the ball in mid-air and ran it into the endzone 60 yds for a touchdown.

Good job, dude! Hey, have you ever beat an all-time record?

I'm pretty sure I did in Madden 09 with Randy Moss for the most recieving TDs of all-time.

That's awesome-I beat Michael Strahan's 6 sacks by 2 and I was impressed by how I did. I thought I would beat him by a hair but I did by 2. There's nothing like the feeling of getting a touchdown but getting a sack feels awesome!
