Broken Controllers

Just for fun, not to be malicious, but how many of you have broken a controller as a direct result of frustration with Madden's game play? ... and how many controllers have you broken?

I have had it happen to me once before when years ago on last gen, and that was a pricy lesson in anger management... and I have heard stories of others on these very forums who have done the same.

Have you ever thrown your controller at the floor in anger/frustration?

Re: Broken Controllers

My R2 button broke because, although they clearly told us that it was no longer the sprint button...brainwashing/conditioning for so long still took precedence...haha.

Re: Broken Controllers

I was playing against a friend of mine about a month ago. I was the 49ers and he was the Lions. I was up 27-21 with 14 seconds to go. He was on the 47 yrd line and I already knew what was coming. A BOMB TO CALVIN JOHNSON. I picked one of the plays in 3 quarters where he gets double teamed, I had a safety over the top, and I took another corner and just ran him back to the end zone. Ball is snapped, no d line pressure, few seconds and Stafford cannons it into the end zone......TOUCHDOWN LIONS......controller goes flying through the air and puts a whole in my bedroom wall. My controller is unfortunately still in tack though. I wanted in to be shattered.

My friend talkin so much junk now, me not even wanting to finish the game. He squib kicks it. I catch it and pitch it back to Ginn Jr. I ran side to side losing yards, then all of a sudden.....I see the gaping hole towards the right side line. I hit it and soon only have the kicker to beat. He misses and a few seconds later.....TOUCHDOWN 49ERS......My friend grabs a baseball bat, walks out the door, and well bye bye his controller.

I getta talk my smack now. And he is left without a controller. I now consider my controller to be very special. lol

Re: Broken Controllers

I've broke 3 controllers from playing CoD. Never broke one from Madden. I don't really ever rage on Madden, probably because I only play offline franchise, online is too much cheese for me and probably would cost me a few broken controllers and holes in the wall.

Re: Broken Controllers

I broke my first and only controller playing The Show. Thanks to the dreaded "CC"........

But never on Madden. Guess because I kinda know what to expect and am not shocked when crazy things happen..
