The Madden Curse still continues. Richard Sherman was in the cover for Madden 15 and you saw what happened. The Seahawks decided to pass it at the one yard line instead of running it and then got it intercepted which cost them the Super Bowl. Also,if you look,Sherman really didn't do anything because of his injury during the game and now he has to have Tommy John surgery in the offseason. It can't get worse than that.
calvin on madden 13 broke the single season receiving yard record and the madden curse. he did however get stopped on the 1 yard line 6 times this past season and had broken fingers.
For anyone who says drew brees didnt get affected by the curse. they lost their first play off game against the seahawks who had a losing record (7-9). Drew bree's threw four picks.
He broke the single season receiving yards record so the nerve injury obviously didn't affect him much and didn't contribute to the lions 4-12 record. Every year the player had some sort of negative impact on the team from the injury. Maybe if the entire team was on the cover I would say it wasn't broken, but CJ by himself didn't force the team into a 4-12 record and he broke the curse.
People getting hurt in football is natural. But when every person to appear on the cover of madden all get hurt, have terrible performance, or fail to get in the superbowl at the last game, that is a freaking curse.
Reminds me of a different curse. This song called Crossroads is apparently cursed. The creator left his home to learn how to use, I'm pretty sure, a violin. When he came back, he had amazing talent, unlike when he left. This started a rumor that he made a deal with the devil. Then, he made the song crossroads, which is said to reveal where he made the deal. But every person or band that has played it has had a terrible accident. Every person dies at the age of 27, and in bands the leader or lead drummer or entire band dies.
lol! Well yeah. Of course every single player on the Tiger Woods PGA Tour covers had their careers destroyed. Because Tiger Woods was the only player on the cover. lol! Good one.
The curse is not broken yet. 2013: Lions are 4-12 Madden 25: Barry Sanders played for the lions who missed they playoffs again. Also Adrian Peterson broke his ankle and his team sucked
The Detroit Lions were an embarrassment last year, the fact that Johnson did so well and still couldn't even prop up his team any was the curse. Similar to how Brees had a great year and then got shamed by Beast Mode in the playoffs.
Madden 13 : Calvin Johnson's team didn't make the play offs Madden 25 : Adrian Peterson's son died Madden 15 : Just when you think the curse is over they lose the Super Bowl on one of the last plays
Wow the curse really did affect him this season, The Giants lost to the Patriots for once, they didn't make the playoffs, Vic Cruz was out for the entire season, and OBJ was suspended for a game due to a fight with Josh Norman
IDK Bro The curse continues. Madden 16: Even though he had a decent season, Odell Beckham Jr. had some serious anger issues on and off the field that tattered his reputation Madden 17: Rob Gronkowski started in only six games due to multiple injuries Madden 18: Tom Brady almost broke the curse due to him possibly having the best season in his career and being the first Madden cover player to actually make the Super Bowl that year, however, he loses the Super Bowl to Eagles backup QB, Nick Foles, giving them their first Super Bowl win Madden 19: Antonio Brown was a cancerous teammate while also not leading the league in receiving yards, and the Steelers having the most disappointing season in team history
I like how you didn't do what I did and go "It's football. If you don't get hurt you aren't doing it right." And instead decided to have fun with it. oved the ending quip, too. XD
I thought it was pretty hilarious how when they had fans vote for the player on the cover of the game one year the winner ended up being some random nobody because no-one wanted their favourite player to get the curse!
I love these videos because you don't change or shorten any of these...which is why I am excited to see you tackle Tails Doll...I made a joke video a long time ago about killing it...now all I get from people are message saying "He is my friend" or "He mocks you as you sleep" or some crazy stuff like that...I am hoping you may shed some light on why people react this way to it...even on the more famous videos these same messages are used...kinda freaky to me lol
in 2014 thegamerfrommars's picture is added in the new madden game. In this year his vocal chords cut of and had a surgery delaying him not to do videos for almost a year
13 Calvin Johnson had broken fingers 25 Adrian Peterson lost his son 15 Richard Sherman's team lost super bowl 16 Odell Beckham fought with another player 17 Rob gronkowsky punctured his. lung
Hey man, im on a streak of these things. just found them in my recommendations bar on the right so i clicked one and now i want to know if you're gonna keep uploading these regularly. like an episode every couple days or is it a thing you do 'every now and then'. if you do them every couple days, i'm subscribing.
There was also the sports illustrated "curse". However what people need to realize is that the players were at there peak, and therefore would go go downhill from there.
A good explanation for it (and I know nothing of football, so I'm taking a stab in the dark about the players), might just be the people they chose. I'm assuming that they made an effort to pick the people that were at the time most successful, i.e. the ones most likely to take more risks, make more tricky plays and ones that the opposite team is going to more heavily target. But that's just a guess. ^^; it does sound like a long string of coincidences.
any statsbros out there that can statistically analyze the likelihood of both appearing on the cover and sustaining an injury and compare it to the likelihood of appearing on the cover and NOT sustaining an injury or having some mishap ruin your superbowl chances? would be interesting
ok before i tell this story but my friend back then in 3rd grade told me that his uncle played madden 13 so much he barely ate or drank anything so once he played and he was hallucinating and thought he saw mickey mouse in the crowd or somewhere i forgot and he stopped playing ever again
Drew bree's curse was losing to Seahawks in the playoffs, not an injury. brett farve didnt tare a bicep in 09, he was traded to the jets after returning for 1 one more year in Green Bay.
Madden '13 added to this curse when RG3 had a serious injury in the middle of the playoff game between the Redskins and the Seahawks. In turn they lost.
RG3 wasn't on the cover for Madden 13, Calvin Johnson was. The curse affected him though by having three of his fingers broken during the season. Although he played well even with his broken fingers, his team never made it to the playoffs
Calvin Johnson didn't break the curse, Calvin Johnson broke three of his fingers and his team never made it to the playoffs Adrian Peterson had a foot injury which costed him a couple games and his son died during the season Nothing happened to Barry Sanders since he's retired Richard Sherman got his arm bent backwards during the Super Bowl and watched his team lose on the sidelines by an interception made by Malcom Butler Nothing happened to Odell Beckham Jr. yet though since the 2016 season just began
its pretty bold to call it a curse. typically the players on the cover are star players, and typically star players (most on the list were QB's and RB's which get hurt all the time) are more subject to injury because they are much more involved in the games.
hey TheGamerFromMars you forgot that madden 2000 had two seperate games one for nintendo with barry sanders on the cover and a playstation one and in 2000 barry sanders retired before the season
He wasn't on the cover until after he won the superbowl... and he's playing great now..... if calvin jhonson gets hurt this year the curse continues....
And that's how I wrap up the theory.
This curse still goes on today, madden 25 had Adrian Peterson and that year his son died
Jesus Christ
Madden 25 doesn't have AP on it?
the ps4 does
shawn denault On the next gen console games he is on there
And the abuse

"Every single person on the Tiger Woods cover had their career destroyed" lol
I was about to say "Ha! At least no one from the saints were on the cover!" and then Drew fucking Bree's came
He won a Superbowl with the team, that's something not everyone can claim.
3:36 "Hey, everyone! I hope you enjoyed the video!" *TERRIFYING MUSIC SETS IN*
calvin on madden 13 broke the single season receiving yard record and the madden curse. he did however get stopped on the 1 yard line 6 times this past season and had broken fingers.

I hope to make 1-2 videos a week this summer.
I wish they'd put Tom Brady on the cover
Me too
+minecrafttacosandhackerhunting The Only Reason Why Peyton Manning Isn't On The Cover Of Any Madden Game Is Because Of The Curse
Lol wish granted
Michael Linkovski lol he's gonna be on the cover this year
hey look at it now Tom Brady is on the cover
Reminds me of a different curse. This song called Crossroads is apparently cursed. The creator left his home to learn how to use, I'm pretty sure, a violin.

Every person dies at the age of 27, and in bands the leader or lead drummer or entire band dies.
Destati is another cursed song that cause things at the Square to malfunction.
Lmao the Tiger Woods joke had me in tears
Imagine the fans in the background are cursed as well?
Makes me wonder how they get anyone to be on the cover.
lol! Well yeah. Of course every single player on the Tiger Woods PGA Tour covers had their careers destroyed. Because Tiger Woods was the only player on the cover. lol! Good one.
Sly88Frye ikr!
The curse is not broken yet. 2013: Lions are 4-12 Madden 25: Barry Sanders played for the lions who missed they playoffs again. Also Adrian Peterson broke his ankle and his team sucked
The Detroit Lions were an embarrassment last year, the fact that Johnson did so well and still couldn't even prop up his team any was the curse. Similar to how Brees had a great year and then got shamed by Beast Mode in the playoffs.
not gonna lie the whole Tiger Woods thing at the end...kinda made me cry from laughter
Calvin Johnson so far is the only one who escaped the curse it seems. But the curse made the rest of his team suck.
Both of em' are on my "to do" list.
Madden 13 : Calvin Johnson's team didn't make the play offs
Madden 25 : Adrian Peterson's son died
Madden 15 : Just when you think the curse is over they lose the Super Bowl on one of the last plays
Ah shit, someone should go check on Odell Beckham Jr. He's a player that the Giants need to go to the Super Bowl this year! D:
+Aron “EpicMiner13” Dubs and probably get some insane catch against the patriots in the super bowl lmfao
Wow the curse really did affect him this season, The Giants lost to the Patriots for once, they didn't make the playoffs, Vic Cruz was out for the entire season, and OBJ was suspended for a game due to a fight with Josh Norman
Odell Tried To Warn You All "The Curse Is Real It Got Tom Brady (Madden '18)
IDK Bro The curse continues.
Madden 16: Even though he had a decent season, Odell Beckham Jr. had some serious anger issues on and off the field that tattered his reputation
Madden 17: Rob Gronkowski started in only six games due to multiple injuries
Madden 18: Tom Brady almost broke the curse due to him possibly having the best season in his career and being the first Madden cover player to actually make the Super Bowl that year, however, he loses the Super Bowl to Eagles backup QB, Nick Foles, giving them their first Super Bowl win
Madden 19: Antonio Brown was a cancerous teammate while also not leading the league in receiving yards, and the Steelers having the most disappointing season in team history
I was just wondering why Manning or Brady never made it on any covers, now I know.
I like how you didn't do what I did and go "It's football. If you don't get hurt you aren't doing it right." And instead decided to have fun with it. oved the ending quip, too. XD
And in 2013 Calvin Johnson broke the single season recieving record.
3:23 Well, Tiger just won the Masters today at 43. "Can you say comeback?"
I thought it was pretty hilarious how when they had fans vote for the player on the cover of the game one year the winner ended up being some random nobody because no-one wanted their favourite player to get the curse!
Teams are now going to start putting in bids to get players on the Madden cover- from their rival teams!
I love the Theorys,can you make a playlist for them?
THANK YOU! This is the most interesting series I've ever seen on RUclips! :D
I love these videos because you don't change or shorten any of these...which is why I am excited to see you tackle Tails Doll...I made a joke video a long time ago about killing it...now all I get from people are message saying "He is my friend" or "He mocks you as you sleep" or some crazy stuff like that...I am hoping you may shed some light on why people react this way to it...even on the more famous videos these same messages are used...kinda freaky to me lol

Bro was like twelve when he made this lmao
And that makes me glad that you are a more recent (and awesome) reviewer.
did a show on G4 do a bit on this years ago? I don't know if it was X-Play of AOTS.
This video was made before Johnson was announced to be on the cover
2013 Calvin Johnson had a leg injury
Didn't he break three of his fingers?
There was also the sports illustrated "curse". However what people need to realize is that the players were at there peak, and therefore would go go downhill from there.
The new 2013 Madden NFL Football got released. Someone got hurt this year! :p

Loving your theory videos. You sir, earned yourself a subscriber.
@Champsr0ck2347 What?
Calvin Johnson then breaks record for most yards
ok before i tell this story but my friend back then in 3rd grade told me that his uncle played madden 13 so much he barely ate or drank anything so once he played and he was hallucinating and thought he saw mickey mouse in the crowd or somewhere i forgot and he stopped playing ever again
...
SomeWeirdoGamer 935 uhh... Probably made up..?
Oh my God that last line killed me XD earned a sub.
dude your videos are so entertaining. i can't sleep
@youngamer218 That's the point.
For those saying CJ broke the curse, he kinda did but he also had a nerve injury and the Lions went from 10-6 to 4-12...
was that a remix of sweater song at the beginning?!
John Madden John Madden John Madden John Madden FOOTBALL!
You play the BEST creepy music. Like, I get goosebumps when I hear 'em...
Have you done the Tails Doll Curse theory from Sonic R?
good thing patrick willis isnt the madden nfl 13 cover i wouldnt want him injured.
well the madden curse will come to an end this year
it wont
dude why did you put such a creepy soundtrack at the start
isn't gygas from earthbound? I didn't realize there was sometimes about that. O.o
Drew bree's curse was losing to Seahawks in the playoffs, not an injury. brett farve didnt tare a bicep in 09, he was traded to the jets after returning for 1 one more year in Green Bay.
When that guy said "Ben" is he talking about that Majoras mask blog?
Also your subtle humor is hilarious and very refreshing, especially compared to smosh or Shane Dawson
The music.....is it from legend of Zelda twilight princess????? Gosh.....pls someone tell me if in right or wrong
i've seen a few videos and these are great! i'm subscribing, but i believe in the madden curse
Well, thanks for that.
@TheGamerFromMars please please please do the tails doll theory.
the music at the beginning makes lavender town sound like a nursery rhyme.
You got a theory for everything Ive never knew all of this lol. Definitely subscribing.
He was still injured, in order to break the curse there can be NO misfortune.
WTF I have been watching you for two centuries and yet I don't even know your name
OMG, You're Right...
Do I hear the Mario Kart 64 Bowser's Castle theme while telling what the player did or what happened to him?
Madden '13 added to this curse when RG3 had a serious injury in the middle of the playoff game between the Redskins and the Seahawks. In turn they lost.
RG3 wasn't on the cover for Madden 13, Calvin Johnson was. The curse affected him though by having three of his fingers broken during the season. Although he played well even with his broken fingers, his team never made it to the playoffs
It means the number of wins to losses. 10 wins to 6 losses. And the next year they won 4 games and 12 losses.
WHERE IS THE NEXT VID?? D:
Wasn't Michael Vick the same guy who promoted dog fights or something like that?
Black Ops Zombies story? Are you talking about the radios and Der Riese?
Calvin Johnson Jr broke the curse
He played with three broken fingers though
Yeah but his team didn't make the playoffs
Calvin Johnson didn't break the curse, Calvin Johnson broke three of his fingers and his team never made it to the playoffs
Adrian Peterson had a foot injury which costed him a couple games and his son died during the season
Nothing happened to Barry Sanders since he's retired
Richard Sherman got his arm bent backwards during the Super Bowl and watched his team lose on the sidelines by an interception made by Malcom Butler
Nothing happened to Odell Beckham Jr. yet though since the 2016 season just began
PLEASE TELL ME THE SONG FROM THE BEGINNING OMG!
What a little baby GFM!
That little Curse hasnt stopped mega tron at all
its pretty bold to call it a curse. typically the players on the cover are star players, and typically star players (most on the list were QB's and RB's which get hurt all the time) are more subject to injury because they are much more involved in the games.
Ray Lewis had a intro in Madden 13, now hes out for the season, maybe even his career.
music?
hey TheGamerFromMars you forgot that madden 2000 had two seperate games one for nintendo with barry sanders on the cover and a playstation one and in 2000 barry sanders retired before the season
Madden 15 with richard Sherman he won the super bowl but got injured in it
STFU
He wasn't on the cover until after he won the superbowl... and he's playing great now..... if calvin jhonson gets hurt this year the curse continues....
Zack Silva Uh. Calvin Johnson was already on the Madden NFL 13 cover. Don't these misfortunes occur on the season they were put on the cover?
What is the theme playing in the beginning!
what was the music that you used in the beginning?
that tiger woods joke was what made me subscribe
Love all your vids. Glad I subbed :)
