The Abomination That is Madden Nation

Im looking forward to part 2: The abomination that is Madden Football

Have you seen the people that are on Madden Nation? They are a collection of life losers.

Skinny, pimply faced kids who have never done anything remotely athletic in their entire life, kids from the suburbs who think its cool to talk in street slang, and fat guys who proudly talk about how they play the game 5-6 hours a day.

Who on earth would want to be anything like any of these people?

its not just the television show. Its the whole 'nation' thing. we all don't play like that. Some of these guys dont like football, they like madden, there's a slight difference. many of these guys just like playing Madden and they go to tournaments to learn new plays. No one hardly uses anything less than balanced d and Heavy Run. So much copycatting, and team hoarding. Thats why madden online isn't a 10000 players online game anymore. Too many cheesers, not enough real nfl fans. I cant spend one day online and not face the cowboys, pats, chargers, colts, Pitts, Philly, etc. top teams. Then you have the same play users, that call one defense for four quarters. I'm sick of the lame competion in Madden. Casual gamers are ruining the game, but the Hardcore guys are the ones cheating/cheesing/top team using.

I doubt anyone would have a problem with that type of play if it weren't forced on them. But that Madden strategy will trump football strategy every time. It's not the users we have a problem with it. It's the game giving those users the advantage.

And for a game to represent itself as a simulation of NFL football, promoting this type of play is disturbing.

I like the show. it is what it is. There will always be cheese in the game, no matter what. Pick sim friends and have fun. I don't know why so many people get mad cheesers.

There was a moment on unintentional comedy by Tony Gonzalez on last year's Madden Nation that spoke volumes as to what type of people get on that show.

He had one of the kids over his house, a skinny, bookish looking 16 yr old.

After he played him, and the kid left his home, Gonzalez says, "I could tell just by looking at him that he is a gamer, so I think he is going to do very well."

That was really a nice way of calling the kid video game junky and a geek.


There are people who approach Madden no different then they would approach playing a game of "Super Smah Bros. Brawl"


They could give a dang about the football aspect of it all.

I agree. It's a videogame tourny. The people who excel at it are going to be good at the videogame aspect of it...nothing more.
