You"ve got to be kidding.They need to focus their attention on the game.

Money well spent EA.

EA should have used the money and make Madden a better game. Why waste time on a stupid movie? MAKE A BETTER FOOTBALL GAME!!!!!!

The story will follow a former Madden video game champion who is forced out of retirement just as he finds himself on the corner of the game's cover -- and subject to the curse.

What the hell does that even mean? It won't follow a player? But a guy who was really good at Madden and someone gets onto the cover? What!?

The movie will be terrible, so just spend the time and money on making the game good. How come the last gen madden is still better than the current gen?

Yeah, it kinda sounds like EA is taking a shot at it's consumer base. So you guys wanna say our game curses the people we decide to put on the cover? Well how about we put one of you guys on the cover?

I'm not sure John Madden will approve of this. Them making a movie called "Madden Curse" would be like them making the whole thing official, they are giving validity to it. I don't think John Madden is going to want his name or legacy tied into something like that. 3. It's marketing in the worst way, making somebody pay to watch an advertisement. And it says alot about EA, about Madden NFL, and how seriously we should the company and the game if they are willing to take what should be a hardcore football game for diehard fans and reduce it to satire. I hope on everything this exclusive liscense ends, and we can finally get a good NFL football simulation from somebody who really is trying to focus on making a good NFL football simulation, not somebody who consistantly makes a mockery of it.

2. I don't think that the movie, which is a satire, acknowledges the curse at all. However, I agree that Madden probably doesn't want his name kicked around like that.

All of 'em). I think I'd still wait for the DVD release, though.

I bet that it is a straight-to-DVD release. EA is stupid, but not enough to pay the premiums to get placed into theaters. And it will be a spoof/satire more than likely. Probably like Dodgeball but with unknown actors.
