Seahawk's running back Shaun Alexander appeared to be hitting a stride in his career that is brief and productive. He had been a Pro Bowler and only came off a season where he took his team. Unfortunately they would go on to lose against the Steelers, but that didn't prevent him from using a lights out season where he rushed for 1,880 yards on 370 carries and scored 27 touchdowns. Following Madden he never rushed for 1000 back, was released from the Seahawks a couple of years afterwards and hung up his cleats in 31.
This guy was a hero to younger aspiring football fans and grown men alike and has long been considered the very best QB in Eagles history. Besides losing in the Super Bowl to the Pats, everything went right for McNabb, which was until he was showcased on Madden 06. The next season marked the start of the ending for the acclaimed QB starting with a fall out between star wide-out Terrell Owens and him. And then in week 9 he suffered a groin injury finish he season with a 4-5 record.
As a Patriots fan this one hurts to include here, but the year following Rob Gronkowski was featured on Madden was among his most heartbreaking ever. But things would be tough to get Gronk all season long since he missed the first two games of the year due to hamstring injury and didn't seem himself until mid-season. At the time the all-time great tight-end was playing in a high level until he suffered a back injury that put him out for the rest f the season. Hey, at least they had that Super Bowl comeback on Atlanta.
Michael Vick the face of the NFL embodies what it means to be imposed by the Madden curse. Just look at the cover, everybody bought that game to play as Vick who had been virtually unstoppable in actual life, but in the match he had been the equivalent to using a cheat code. You couldn't play an internet game with no running into a Vick worshiper who would run to get a bazillion yards out of their pocket each down. But one day after Madden 04's release, the curse struck on Vick who broke his leg in a preseason match limiting him. Then came the dog battle scandal that left in jail for a couple of decades and him suspended. Boy did this curse hit hard and appears to be a overall better man, although he's bounced back now.
