Heck, having been on the cover of Madden NFL '09, it seemed he was lucky to even still have his head. By 2010, the curse was widely recognized and discussed; fans would find a way to associate his play with bad luck. Most curse-crazed fans will note
Electronic Arts sells “Madden NFL,” which is updated each year with team and player performance data ahead of the new professional football season. Moore's estimate was lower than the potential loss of as much as $165 million reported yesterday by the
Guys who worked on that Madden, and others following it, swear to me that there was no AI adjustment if you went undefeated deep into your franchise year. Only in Madden NFL 09 could the game get deliberately tougher in playoff and rivalry matchups,

Anti-trust lawsuit filed over Madden, Madden NFL 09 DS News ...
Electronic Arts has held the exclusive rights to publish games with the NFL license since 2004, but all that may change with a recent lawsuit filed over the game developer’s Madden series. Law firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro claims that the NFL exclusivity deal hurts consumers and makes it difficult for other developers to release competitive products, and are filing a class action lawsuit against EA on anti-trust grounds.
Select gamers started receiving emailed notices regarding the suit on Wednesday, though anyone who “purchased the Madden NFL, NCAA Football or Arena Football League brand videogames published by Electronic Arts with a release date of January 1, 2005, to the present,” is eligible to join the suit and may receive compensation depending on how things shake out.
Those hoping to join shouldn’t get their hopes up, says popular games industry analyst and multiple law degree-holder Michael Pachter. “I think that the suit is idiotic, and would bet it’s dismissed,” said Pachter to Wired .
Exclusivity agreements for various licenses and intellectual property are commonplace in the games industry, though EA’s NFL deal is perhaps the most lucrative. Madden hasn’t faced a serious contender since 2004’s NFL 2K5 debuted at $20.
The announcement for the class action lawsuit follows another Madden-related lawsuit recently filed by Robin Antonick, the creator of the first Madden football game. Antonick is seeking tens of millions of dollars in royalties from EA.

It would be nice to see the exclusivity end. All Pro Football was pretty good but not having licensed stadiums, unis, and players is kind of a turn-off for me. I agree with therawski. Competition wouldn't leave the Madden crew and EA so comfortable but its tough to compete when current players are exclusive to EA. Its fun to put a team together around a star(retired) QB in All Pro, but with arbitrary player names and stats for everyone else, it is certainly lacking compared to Madden. Time to be annoyingly technical. And sorry for basically a double-post. My fault for not reading the comments before posting and seeing some... person... I wanted to reply to.
"You know, the NFL, the biggest money making sport in the world"
"the NFL" is not a sport. It's a league. Oh, you meant that the NFL is the biggest moneymaking league/group in the world? Nope, sorry. Falls behind Formula 1 racing. But the NFL is the biggest single moneymaking TEAM sport league in the world. Kudos for being close.
