What a joke! Finneran wasn't even an 80 overall in Madden 2004, he was average at best! And that was back when really the only thing that separated receivers was the speed rating.. and Finneran was slow as hell.

And I love how that ESPN article mentions how Finneran was unstoppable with 'rocket catch' yeah that's real funny because they didn't have rocket catch in Madden 2004..

I used to play Madden 2004 religiously, and I can tell you right now Brian Finneran was a borderline scrub.. this is an absolute joke

That's crazy. That is a 2012 article but, it seems to be right on the money. It's strange that that is how they made their Madden 25 team. Of course we're talking EA.

GOOD FIND!!

It's funny how Finneran's blurb is basically 'he was in Madden 2004' while everyone else have a few token words about how good or dominant they were.

The ESPN article is a great find, explains why Finneran is there really.

If EA Sports opened up a "Madden" Hall of Fame, Brian Finneran would be a first-ballot inductee. "We had to change the game because of him," says Moore. "We didn't want to be known as the game Brain Finneran dominated." The thing about Finneran was, not only did the game give him insane leaping ability via the Rocket Catch, but his character was significantly taller than any DB in the game, giving Vick the ability to throw the ball high, with Finneran making the grab every time in traffic. Adds Moore: "He had 90+ jump, plus he was so tall, it didn't matter how you tried to defend it, Finneran was coming down with that ball."

Odd choice, but I don't mind it, It probably is the first "what" moment in this team reveal. Could have gone Calvin Johnson, TO, Rice, or Fitzgerald.

Took me a moment to figure out this pick out, but that kind of put it into words why that pick was made.

Still would of had a version of TO over him but I can understand how Finneran was kind of like Mike Williams in NCAA 05.
