GoodGameBro writes, "In 2000, for their upcoming Madden NFL 2001 release, EA Sports made the then-controversial choice to put a specific player on the cover of the game, as opposed to the eponymous John Madden.
Since this fateful decision, there has been a meme surrounding the release of each successive edition of Madden, that of the dreaded “cover curse.”
The idea is that, since the Madden NFL 2001 cover featuring Eddie George, the player featured on the cover would struggle to match his accomplishments from the previous season. Now that Richard Sherman has been named to the cover of Madden NFL 15, I decided to take a look at the results from the previous 14 editions of the game to discern whether or not this is the case."

Global politics, scientific breakthroughs, the results of major sporting events - discover seven times videogames predicted the future with spooky accuracy in the following video."
It's PLG's final Madden 15 Let's Play as they prepare for the arrival of Madden 16! Mark and Chris hunt for the long sought after "Run The Gauntlet" trophy.

I aint even excited for this
This is an absurd article. How do u prove its fake by explaining why every player had a worse season the next season, many suffering injury, and in a few cases careers being basically over.
Fake?? uh I don't think so. The game needs to just put Maddens face on the cover every year or a retired player like Barry Sanders for Madden 25. Because It's doom for anyone else. Peyton Hills Disappeared, Shaun Alexander Disappeared, Vince Young Disappeared, later became suicidal. Vick got hurt and went to prison, Ray Lewis got hurt. Drew Brees got the cover than Bounty gate happened Saints coach was suspended, Saints sucked that year. Adrian Peterson (Madden 25 Next Gen) Sure he had his worst season and the Vikings sucked, but just for a special bonus for A.P because it's a new generation of consoles his Young Son died tragically. FAKE????????????
