    The Chicago Bears from Tecmo Bowl have to be on this list. Walter Payton made me cry when I was 5.

      HOW COULD ANYONE FORGET THOSE RAVENS IN MADDEN 2000....or maybe 2001!!!!!!!!

      i forget which madden exactly but the madden after their superbowl win the RAVENS WERE RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Honorable Mentions:

      Patriots - Madden 2002( the year after that first Brady win. i may have gotten the year wrong)

      Patriots - Madden 2008 (That offense was outrageous!!!)

      Celtics and/or Lakers - NBA 2K8 (both teams have officially been deemed ILLEGAL) I wrote my congressman about them and he agreed!!!!

      as of this writing: Orlando Magic/Cleveland Cavaliers/Los Angeles Lakers - NBA2K9 - with live updates these teams are Championship ready today. tomorrow may be different.

      also...it may just be me but: Oakland Raiders Madden 09 - I just CANNOT lose with this team. They have all the right people. I lost many games to them so "if you cant beat'em join'em". I have destroyed teams all year with the Raiders including Cowboys, Chargers, Patriots,Colts, Steelers. I beat the best teams repeatedly and BADLY. I even try to use those teams against Raiders and it is really not recommended.

      In real life they are trash but they are a Madden Monster.

        ALSO A FUTURE PREDICTION:


        MIKE TYSON - Fight Night Round 4- I just know he is gonna have Flash Knockouts like every other hit. With his first entry into the FN series I know he will be hooked up with attributes since they are using the Tyson in his prime and not the ear biting face tattooed one that lost his last 5 or 6 fights in a row. I am glad Mike is in the game and I will definitely use him but I have already braced myself for the inevitable Tyson vs. Tyson matchups that will be fought in every other ring across virtual arenas aound the world.

          LAWRENCE TAYLOR

          And i maybe mistaken but Wayne Haddix? on the Bucs in Techmo Super Bowl was a freak of ridiculous nature.

            i just love this thread so much. I have one last honorable mention and I will stop:


            Dallas Cowboys - Madden 09(straight out of the box NO roster updates)

            That team was not going to be beaten by ANYONE!!!! I'm sorry. they were Super Bowl ready right out of the box. That was a much different team than the one we see now WITH roster upates. Thank god for technology!!! If this was a few generations ago we would still have to deal with jerks picking the Super Bowl ready Cowboys even though they didnt even make the playoffs.

              this is really my last comment:


              I love all of the teams mentioned in this thread and it brought back alot of controller throwing, punching, biting(yes i bit my NES controller at moments of murderous rage) memories.

              I feel that the worst thing about these teams was NOT the fact that the players had crazy attributes or completed impossible shots, catches, saves, or goals. The worst part wan't always the fact that you LOST to these teams. The worst thing about all of these teams was that the person using them HONESTLY THOUGHT THEY WERE ACTUALLY GOOD AT THE GAME AND THE TEAM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

              I have great memories of that same jerk using a non-illegal team and getting scraped up, dominated and ran out of the gym or off the field when i handed down my own brand of virtual JUSTICE to these cheaters!!!

                Keep in mind guys- this is only #25-16, there are 15 more teams on the list ;-)
                But they weren't even one of the top 5 teams ON PAPER in the NBA that year. This is a favoritism nomination :wink:

                    Rams in Madden will be coming I assume.

                    NFL 2K1 Tampa Bay is a maybe.

                    You had to know the TB playbook and anticipate where Dunn was going to go. Keyshawn was a beast. There wasn't really a great way to attack the Defense either, solid everywhere.

                    #25 Minnesota Vikings (NFL 2K)


                    I don't remember them being that far and away the best. The 49ers had the better scramble QB with Young and top 2 WRs were just a tiny worse with Owens and Rice plus they had JJ Stokes who was an 85 overall. Also Hearst was a good RB.

                    For baseball teams it is hard cause really you think more of a season and not 1 game.

                    1 that might make my list is the N64 Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr Mariners.

                    Randy Johnson hitting his peak on the mound, NEARLY twice as many K's and hits givin' up, and the 3 main sluggers. A-Rod, Edgar and Griffey. Also Jay Buhner 40 HRs and Paul Sorrento hit 30 HRs the year before so he was likely good, can't remember. Being a Braves fan I had some tough matches when my brother picked them.

                        Throughout the history of the Madden series, the team based off the Raiders or the Raiders themselves have always seemed to have an extra boost to them. I am sure it isn't coincidental with John Madden being their former coach.

                          I thought I had hit some of the classics. Great to see all the entries....

                          Other teams I liked were the Oilers in Super Tecmo. Warren Moon and his receivers were downright fast.

                          I also liked using the Rams in 2K1. Again, speed kills in video games.

                          Another team that was tough was the Niners in the original Game Day for the PlayStation.

                            Lance Haffner's games were awesome. He actually sold games on compact disk. I bought The Pro Game back in 2003 but it worked on DOS. If he ever set his games up to play on Windows XP I would buy them in a second.

                            Courtside College Basketball was also an all-time favorite. Using the 1990 Loyola Marymount squad was unreal. Bo Kimble and Hank Gathers were beasts....
                            What?

                              Actually, there is a glitch in the game where you can hit all of your 3 pointers no matter what team you are playing as. It was sports gaming first cheese move..haha.

                                The 2K2 Sixers were monsters. I still have bad dreams about them. I think that most dominant video game teams were not necessarily the best teams in real life.
