I started work on creating all of the cover athletes' teams from previous Madden games. I'm using the default rosters from each game and adjusting attributes where necessary (since later Madden games have more ratings than previous ones like Play Action, Throw on the Run, etc). The goal is to make each team as close to the teams from their respective Madden game. I've got the offense done for the Madden 2004 Atlanta Falcons and (of course) the Madden 12 Browns (since they're in the game to start with).
The teams that I'll be making are:
1999 Green Bay Packers (Dorsey Levens PAL Madden 2000 cover) - in progress
2000 Tennessee Titans (Eddie George Madden 2001 cover) - complete
2001 Minnesota Vikings (Daunte Culpepper Madden 2002 cover)
2002 St. Louis Rams (Marshall Faulk Madden 2003 cover) - in progress
2003 Atlanta Falcons (Michael Vick Madden 2004 cover) - complete
2004 Baltimore Ravens (Ray Lewis Madden 2005 cover) - complete
2005 Philadelphia Eagles (Donavan McNabb Madden 06 cover)
2006 Seattle Seahawks (Shaun Alexander Madden 07 cover)
2007 Tennessee Titans (Vince Young Madden 08 cover)
2007 San Diego Chargers (Luis Castillo Spanish Madden 08 cover)
2008 New York Jets (Brett Favre Madden 09 cover)
2008 Chicago Bears (Roberto Garza Spanish Madden 09 cover)
2009 Arizona Cardinals (Larry Fitzgerald/Troy Polamalu Madden 10 cover)
2009 Pittsburgh Steelers (Larry Fitzgerald/Troy Polamalu Madden 10 cover)
2010 New Orleans Saints (Drew Brees Madden 11 cover)
2011 Cleveland Browns (Peyton Hillis Madden 12 cover) - complete
I'll be posting teams in sets of two as I finish them.
Pack 1 - Madden 2001 Titans vs Madden 2004 Falcons
Pack 2 - Madden 2005 Ravens vs Madden 12 Browns
Pack 3 - Madden 2000 Packers vs Madden 2003 Rams (coming soon)
