Let's Chat: What Should Be Done With the Madden Movie?

[RaychelSnr]

Anyone who spends any amount of time on Operation Sports most likely knows all about the "Madden Curse" and its legacy. The curse comes up every time a new Madden cover athlete is announced -- and with good reason. But now Electronic Arts is ready to take the curse to a whole new level. Madden Curse: The Movie.

The movie will follow a one-time Madden video game champion who is forced out of retirement just as he finds himself on the corner of the game's cover. With his face gracing that small corner, the curse hits him.

Let's be clear here: This premise makes absolutely no sense.

EA is attempting to turn this movie into a comedy, but how can someone watch a movie for 90 minutes when it is about some dude who is no longer good at Madden? The idea sounds fun enough at first I suppose -- and I'm sure most of us here would watch it -- but unless the folks at EA can think of something to spice up the plot a little bit, this movie will crash and burn.

So how can we make this movie better? Here are a few ideas to get people thinking.

So how can we make this movie better?

By not making it.

[LingeringRegime]

Option #4.

10 Char.

[roadman]

We must be in January.

I'll go with #4 for the Daily Double.

[Kevin26385]

#2 sound good on paper, but I remember most of the athletes saying they don't believe in the curse...Therefore interviewing them would be useless.

[Palo20]

It should be all about the fans who create wishlists on forums

[JohnZapp]

30 for 30 documentary

[RAMSFAN21]

NOT MADE AT ALL

I'll go with #4. No interest AT ALL from me. I mean zeroooo. I observed the topic and my eyes kinda of just didn't register that it even existed, there was absolutely no emotion at all, no hate, excitement, wondering why, just perused right past it. Similar to how my brain works when I'm observing the Madden game select screen. I see nothing there except for franchise. I've never once clicked on ANYTHING but franchise, seriously.

Excuse me I started rambling a little I think lol.

Are we sure EA doesn't have its months screwed up and thinks they are trying to pull an April fool's joke with this.

This is a waste of time and money. It's going to tank. Best case scenario it becomes a cult classic for all those greasy clowns who were on that Madden show on that bus.

Seriously though, no way this film makes money. They should use their resources more productively than this.

#4. I'd short-sell it, if I could.

[JerseySuave4]

#4 was easily the best since this idea should have never been brought up in the 1st place but all 4 of those ideas are better than the one they are actually going with.

The curse hits a gamer? So now the kid is no good at Madden? And we're supposed to care about this why? I couldnt tell you who the best Madden players in the world are from the next guy. Dont know their gamertag, dont know their name, dont even care about them or their lives. Why would i want to watch a movie about one who is cursed?

The only curse from winning the Madden title is the curse of not getting laid because you prob spent all your time practicing for the Madden title.

[jjsmitty34]

I'd say #2 would be best...

[FroznYogurt]

#4 by far, if not that, then #2 if you can get all the players. And make it an ESPN 30 for 30.

In all honesty, this sounds like it should be a 10 minute Kenny Mane Spoof on NFL countdown. Who in their right mind would go to a theatre to see this?
