In 2011, Madden approved having concussions being a part of his video game series.

NBC Sports

quote:

“Concussions are such a big thing, it has to be a big thing in the video game,” Madden told the New York Times. “It starts young kids — they start in video games. I think the osmosis is if you get a concussion, that’s a serious thing and you shouldn’t play. Or leading with the head that you want to eliminate. We want that message to be strong.”

the NFL didn't want concussions in the game so everyone broke a collarbone

I've been playing Madden for years and I can tell you the most common injury is a torn labrum for some odd reason

Madden didnt just slap his name on a game and call it a day, he took that shite seriously and pushed for realism as much as he could.

I just wanted them to bring back the Madden 92 on-field ambulances taking out players like bowling pins.

I read earlier that when EA first approached Madden it was supposed to be a 7 on 7 game.

Madden said F that only ifs its truly 11 on 11 football. It took EAs developers 3 more years to program the game

“John Madden does not care about black people!”

Sorry, just doing my best Kanye impression.

It was in the game before 2011. When I was a kid we were playing and someone was using the Texans. David Carr went out the game and it was noted as a “career ending concussion”.

This was 2003 or 2004.
