the curse in madden games seems to be coming to an end....if the rams would give faulk the ball he'd still be great.

moss is having a great year.

eddie george still sucks.

then again, mike vick did have his leg snapped...

David Beckham appeared on the cover of Fifa 98...
... we all know what happened that summer but it can be said that he came back with a vengeance later that year to win a treble of honours with Man U next summer...

ok, heatley is perhaps in another league, tho he seems to have support- but what about royalties - what are the figures that the players see from the games|?

The royalties probably to to the various Player's Associations for the rights to use the names, etc. I suppose the players would then maybe get a free copy of the game . Then their is the prestige of getting your face on the cover!!!

A couple more examples of the curse:

NHL 99 Eric Lindros - Collapsed lung in the playoffs
Triple Play 2001 Mike Piazza - Where did he go?
Triple Play 2002 Miguel Tejada Randy Johnson - Both had bad seasons
Madden 2002 Dante Culpepper - Shitty year and Vikings sucked
Madden 2003 Marshal Faulk - The Rams lost Warner and had an awful season
