Re: In Celebration of All the Madden Players That Will Never Exist

I've seen some beasts in Madden, but the best game generated player I ever saw was several seasons into my NCAA 14 Dynasty. He was the #1 overall recruit, a WR by the name of Columbus Sweet (great name, too). I didn't get him, but Florida did and he broke all the career receiving records there.

Wish I had kept his stats or at least exported the draft class to Madden to see how he would've done in the pros.

Mostly from NCAA days, but some great names I recall between some friends and me:

USC brothers and teammates LB Bubba Cork and QB Lorenzo Cork.
OSU RB Rodney Dangerfield (no respect!)
Thomas Thomas (cousin to Johnson & Johnson...of course he married a doctor!)
William Gilliam (Heisman Trophy winner, from what I recall my friend stiffarm telling me)

Many more!

Re: In Celebration of All the Madden Players That Will Never Exist

I swear, I'd pay twice the price for NCAA to come back. The gameplay in Madden 16 with the depth of Dynasty mode in NCAA 14 .....I can only dream.

I miss being able to import my draft classes into Madden. Flipping back and forth between the games and always feeling some level of connection with the players years later in Madden because I "watched them" play college ball.

I ended up winning on a national championship winning hail mary to defeat Texas who went on to become my arch rivals after I joined the BIG12.

The legend of Frank Powell aka 'Boom Boom Powell' went on for 4 years as he collected countless awards and accolades. I ended up renaming the stadium to Frank Powell Memorial Stadium and retired his number. After sending the draft class over to Madden he had a decent NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. 20 Years later, my Wyoming team is still a powerhouse and in the midst of the greatest NCAA Football dynasty of all time - and it all started thanks to him.

I've never had a guy in Madden have anywhere near the same effect on a franchise as Frank Powell. And I don't think any generated recruit or draft pick will ever mean the same to me as he did. He was the embodiment of the word 'Legend'.

One of the greatest stories I have ever read. And yet, so sad, as NCAA has been cast aside.

I want NCAA back so bad because of stories like this. The recruiting was the best ever.

IMO, the best part of playing NCAA games (football and college hoops). Especially if you get super immersed in the college games. Like maybe you recruited a player that was a major pain, but you're happy to see them get drafted.
