So it seems the consensus is, Madden Nation sucks and it's destroying the youth of America.

So it seems the consensus is, Madden Nation sucks and it's destroying the youth of America.

Essentially that is what alot of people think, I was fan of the show when was coming on to see how much better these players were.

It was a good idea for one season when they had legitimate players on it but essentially now it has gotten down to the point of anyone who wins a Madden Challenge or plays online with a high rank can get on it.

It does seem to me that it hypes the ability of the thugification of middle america. Most of people that appear on Madden Nation are younger College kids or a variety of players of the Madden community who stake their claim in life to a video game. (Only two older players appeared on the show, Packwolf and 40 G's)

It also funny to see how many of these great Madden players have fallen due to the changes in the game, Big Gene was allegedly the best player in the world and is blip on the radar. Secret who talked his way in season 2, hasn't done anything since.

The show is pure entertainment and is enjoyable to watch just for the "players" reaction and not the game itself. Madden always takes a back-seat on the show and it is in the end all about who can out-talk someone else when winning.

Doesn't apply here bud.

The Abomination That is Madden Nation
This thread is about what is wrong with this game. If you are here to argue that, then you are the one "trolling."

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

I dont have to agree with the thread. If you're getting emotional because some people disagree with you then you have a problem.

Re: The Abomination That is Madden Nation

but it will probably take Petter Moore putting his foot in someone's rear to get the dev team's attention.

Oh, I wouldn't count on that. He's part of the problem...which doesn't bode well for us. Based on what I've read regarding his comments on the state of Madden, he's more or less the "Baghdad Bob" of EA.

"Everything's fine, we're completely in control. Metacritic gave it a bajillion plus score. Nothing to see here."

Peter Moore will help EA make "Big-headed tennis games." Awesome.

Re: The Abomination That is Madden Nation

The only guy on this show I can tolerate is "Nephew". He's quiet and plays sim, most of the time.

Re: The Abomination That is Madden Nation

how do they decide who gets on the show? is it the top 10 ranked players on xbox live or something??

Re: The Abomination That is Madden Nation

Just saw the finale of the show. "Nephew" won the game. He was up seven and had the ball with under a minute left and his opponent having no timeouts. He then proceeded to kick a field goal as time expired to put him up by ten. What a joke.

Is this what goes on at these Madden Challenges around the country? Shows how little respect these Madden players have for their opponents.

Re: The Abomination That is Madden Nation

Yeah, that was unnecessary. Like you said, just shows how these people are. Bunch of asshats.

Re: The Abomination That is Madden Nation

I dunno, maybe its just me being stupid but Ive watched all the episodes on this challenge and I wasnt impressed at all..despite all the cheese these bums do, I still think that they all did even the simple things badly.. You would think these guys would have much better stick skills then I seen them have

Re: The Abomination That is Madden Nation

The idea to do a show about Madden tourney play is a fantastic idea. But EA Sports is going about it the wrong way.

wrong attitude, wrong message, and wrong style of play.


I believe this is why the game is struggling. I dont think they know who to cater this game to anymore.

He kicked the field goal to cover points on a bet.
