Funny incorrect info in Madden 11

[buckeye02]

Im sure this has been mentioned before since it concerns the best player in the game.

But has anyone noticed that a lot of players draft info is wrong, like Peyton Manning's says the he was drafted 1st overall in teh 1997 NFL draft. And Donovan McNabb says 2nd overall in the 1998 draft?

Not a big deal or game killer, but I beg to ask teh question. Why even put this in the game if its going to be the wrong info. The best player in the game, Peyton Manning is wrong.

Like they say on NFL Live, C'MON MAN!

Re: Funny incorrect info in Madden 11

Hadn't noticed this...someone at EA isn't doing their research. If you remember, they actually had to patch in the draft info in Madden 10. They seem to really struggle with some of the smaller details sometimes.

Peyton Manning is not the best player in the NFL. The best player in the NFL wouldn't have cost his team the Superbowl on back to back drives [throwing the pick 6 and failing to tie the game up on the next drive.] He isn't even the best QB in the NFL.

Revis, Willis, and Brees [not in any order] are the best players in the NFL. Manning is great, Manning is amazing, but Manning is not the best. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't point to his accomplishments while throwing out his faults. you can't say "4 MVP trophies=best palyer ever" with out acknowledging one was a co-MVP with McNair [which should just be Steve's, R.I.P.] and that he shouldn't have won it this year, Favre or Brees should have. Also, the MVP trophy is much like heiseman, it's completly biased towards QB's and HBs. Jerry Rice is thought of by many to be the single greatest player in NFL history and never won an MVP. That should be evidence enough of the award's bias. In 2000 Ray Lewis didn't win the MVP, Marshall Faulk did. I could go on and on. Anyone who thinks Manning is the best player in Football or the best QB of all time really needs to take a step back and look at things critically. I don't claim to be 100% correct and these are my opinions, but I try to have the most informed and unbiased opinion I can. Saying Manning is not the best of all time doesn't mean I don't think he isn't one of the best of all time, which he is.

In fact, did you know that DT Alan Page [Vikings] and OLB Lawrence Taylor [Giants] are the only non-QB/non-HB winners of the MVP award in the history of the NFL? Does that mean that only QB's, HB's are truly valuable, with the exception of two players?

I am assuming that you are a 49ers fan due to your emblem....but I honestly really do think that Patrick Willis may be the best "Football Player" in football right now.. I don't know if that is who you are referring to, but when you get that type of speed and power (Im talking about running down #1 wide receivers from behind) you just cant defend against that kind of thing, he truly is a game changer so he is my pick as "the #1 player in the NFL and Drew Brees is like #1 1/2 lol

Not even close to the main purpose of this thread.

Back on top well how about all the incorrect stuff the ref says when he calls a plenty and says repeat 4th down when it's really 1st and 10.

LMAO, ok guy Peyton Manning is no good. I guess even the best quaterbacks are never allowed to throw ints. Manning is the best player in the NFL, get over yourself.

Yeah, that's totally what I said:

You receive minus two reading points. Thanks for playing.

Talking with people like you is a waste of time. There is no discussion. You want to give me reasons why you think he is so great, go for it. What is it about Manning that is better than Brees? Better than how Favre played last year? better than Willis or Revis? What is it?

I guess even the best quaterbacks are never allowed to throw ints.

that isn't what I said, and you completely missed the point. I am off topic a bit, but I'm not going to just read that manning "is teh greatest evar" and let it go.

Okay, on topic, other than what I have said, I AGREE with the OP. I agree in full.

Re: Funny incorrect info in Madden 11

Yeah. To me it seems like on the next gen they have made a living with a half- *** attitude when it comes to details. Like one poster said about the penalties on fourth down and the ref always saying repeat 4th down, when its always first down for the other team.

All my comments arent directed at you here. But some may apply to some of above statements. Anyway, here goes my personal views.

It is amazing there is actually people out there who think Manning isnt one of the greatest QB's of all time because HIS TEAM didnt win the superbowl last year.

I think some of you are mixing individual success with team success..

A good defence is a good defence, and if the colts are going to put Manning in that position every single time theres a big game, eventually any qb will loose.

Mannings pulled so many out, even in HUGE games. He isnt a choke artist, but when your playing the top teams and having to win them almost by yourself everytime in the end, you cant expect to always come out on top-period.

-But believe what you want. Everyone has a reason why they feel someone is good or not good.

Regarding Bree's:

Were you talking about Drew Bree's the man who couldnt get it done in San Diego and was traded, or Drew Brees who hasnt played well in big games until the past 2 years? Glad he showed up these past 2 years so he could be labeled the best QB in the NFL. Maybe next year the Colts can win it, so Manning can be the clear choice #1 QB again......give me a break. Its the same with Brady. hes the same QB he has always been, and he had a great year, yet suddently hes not even mentioned as a contender for the top QB spot. Theres just a lot of band wagon riders out there IMO.

What I see is a fantastic team like the 2009 Saints winning a superbowl, not a qb winning it. What I see looking at Bree's individual carear is, he has had a few great years and is a very good qb, but likes to throw it up and let great receivers do the work. It either pays off, or bites him in the you know what.

If you had watched the Colts games, you would know the reason Manning wins MVP's is because he is countlessly winning games at last drives.....like I said eventually when your team puts you in this position, and the opposition is great, your gonna eventually loose. Its what we saw in last years super bowl. Besides if that game was played over, I wouldnt be so sure the Saints would have won. they were loosing at half time, and that onside kick was a risky call that could have put them out of the game right there. They barely recovered that, and in my eyes showed me they felt like they were the underdogs and had to risk it all for a chance. I dont see how a onside kick right there could possibly be called smart, until they get the ball ofcourse, and suddenly its such a great call from the coach.....

Haven't heard that one yet got to listen for it. Although they need to can both this announcers and pick two people that actually work together on a real broadcast.

Why before every game does Chris talk about he QBs not matter how mediocre they maybe and the team has other real stars.

How the hell did this thread turn into who is the best player in the NFL? Even after being warned to get back on topic we still went back to that. Locked!
