Madden '08

WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT…IT WILL OFFICIALLY BECOME “MADDEN DAY”…
FOR FOOTBALL FANS WHO LOVE VIDEO GAMES…
AUGUST THE 14TH IS THE SUPER BOWL AND CHRISTMAS ALL ROLLED INTO ONE…
“MADDEN NFL 2008” WILL OFFICIALLY HIT THE SELVES IN 6 THOUSAND STORES ALL OVER NORTH AMERICA…
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FANS IN THE U.S. WILL LINE UP FOR HOURS WAITING TO GET THEIR HANDS ON IT…
EA SPORTS WILL SEND OUT VIP COPIES TO PEOPLE SUCH AS ANDY RODDICK…SNOOP DOGG AND GREEN DAY…
LAST YEARS VERSION SOLD 1.8 MILLION AND THIS YEAR THAT NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO GO WELL OVER 2 MILLION…
IT’S NOT JUST THE FANS THAT ARE PLAYING…SO ARE THE PLAYERS…
FOR THE LAST 13 SUPER BOWLS EA SPORTS HAS HELD A “MADDEN TOURNAMENT” JUST FOR PLAYERS…
NEXT TO THE GAME ITSELF…THE TOURNAMENT ALONG WITH THE PLAYBOY AND MAXIM PARTIES ARE THE TOUGHEST TICKETS…
THE PLAYERS TAKE THIS REAL SERIOUS AND ALEX SMITH OF THE OF THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS IS THE TWO TIME DEFENDING CHAMPION…BUT THE REAL PRIZE IS TO BECOME THE PLAYER ON THE COVER…
AT LEAST IT USED TO BE…THEN CAME THE CURSE…
THE LAST SIX STRAIGHT PLAYERS TO BE ON THE COVER OF “MADDEN” HAVE ALL SUFFERED INJURIES THAT COST THEM THEIR SEASON…
THE LIST INCLUDES DAUNTE CULPEPPER…MARSHALL FAULK…MICHAEL VICK…RAY LEWIS AND DONOVAN MCNABB…
LAST YEAR SHAUN ALEXANDER BROKE HIS FOOT IN WEEK FOUR…THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER OF 2005 STRUGGLED THROUGH THE WORST SEASON OF HIS NFL CAREER…
THIS YEAR LADAINIAN TOMLINSON OF THE CHARGERS WAS OFFERED THE COVER BUT TURNED IT DOWN…
THE OFFICIAL REASON GIVEN WAS MONEY…BUT HOW DO YOU TURN DOWN A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR DOING NOTHING???
INSTEAD EA SPORTS GAVE THE COVER TO VINCE YOUNG OF THE TITANS…
WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN THE CURSE OR NOT…
WHAT IS NOT OPEN FOR DEBATE IS THE SUCCESS OF THE GAME…”MADDEN NFL” REMAINS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL VIDEO GAME IN HISTORY…
2008 BEGINS IN JUST A MATTER OF HOURS
