Considering the fact that I have the Pittsburgh Steelers as an odds on favorite to win Super Bowl XLIV, you could only imagine how disheartening it is to see Troy Polamalu on the cover of Madden NFL 10.For those unaware, a "Madden Curse" has plagued those who have appeared on the cover in recent years; and although I'm more of a firm believer in coincidence than curses, I still find it hard to argue against the reality of it all. It is what it is but, now with John Madden retired, maybe the curse will retire along as well.
Yet and still, I have to admit that this cover is actually kind of dope. It fits perfectly with the "Fight For Every Yard" theme that Madden NFL 10 is going for and who better to personify that than Steelers S Troy Polamalu and Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald. Both of these players embody the heart and soul of their team and it'll be interesting to see if they make it through the season unscathed.
As for Madden NFL 10 itself, I've been reading more and more about the game and it seems like it will be a much improved upgrade from last year's installment. Far be it from me to criticize one of the top selling football games of all times but, be that as it may, I've simply found NCAA College Football to be a better game in recent years and hopefully the realization of that will push the Madden franchise to improve significantly.
