This might sound strange but one thing I just realized that really excites me about Madden 13 is because of the Gameface being added to it that I can actually do what I've been wanting to do for awhile.
I've been kind of wanting to try an 'alternate reality' type of franchise. Being a former football player that became an aspiring actor after an injury. I'm a huge entertainment fan and a lot of actors (including wrestlers) I like started out playing football but because of freak injuries (or on some occasion just didn't have the right ability or chance) didn't make it very big if at all
So I was thinking it was cool cause along with Gameface I can actually do just that. Do things like....
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson - Was on the '91 Florida Hurricanes chapionship team as a DT but got injured and was replaced by Warren Sapp. Played in the CFL but we all know how that went.
Terry Crews - Was drafted in the 11th round of the '91 NFL draft and played DE and LB for multiple teams but was never quite good enough to make a big impact so only played for 6 seasons before getting into acting.
Bill Goldberg - Was drafted as a DT in the 11th round by the Rams in '90, then played for the Falcons from '92 to '94. Was picked up by the Panthers in '95 due to the Expansion Draft but received a career ending injury when he tore his abdomen off his pelvis.
Dean Cain - Played FS for Princeton University, set an NCAA 1-AA record for 12 interceptions in one season. Got picked up by the Buffalo Bills but suffered a nasty knee injury ending his career before he ventured into acting.
Burt Reynolds - Got a scholarship to FSU to play HB but in the first game of the season suffered a season ending knee injury but later in the season was in a car accident that aggravated it and making it a career ending injury.
Obviously there are more like Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker, John Wayne, etc. but I always thought it would be cool to The Rock as DE or LB and Burt Reynolds as HB or FB on the Dolphins or Tampa Bay. Terry Crews as LB on the Rams or Chargers. Goldberg as LB on the Falcons. Dean Cain on a team that really needs a FS.
I've tried this before but obviously the previous player models didn't allow this in more than just name but with Gameface this actually makes it possible. However I don't know if CCM allows to create just one player or allows to create a player and then move on to create another, either way it's still possible just not maybe all at the same time (might have to retire one before bringing in another or do multiple CCM's).
Sorry for the long drawn out post but have any of you guys ever wanted to do something similar (with these guy or anyone else fictional or not) or want to do something like this now?
