_its_a_SWEATER_

Blame EA for the blursedness.


CrimsonPact

What happens when you put the madden curse on a team that’s clearly already cursed? Double negative makes a positive? **cope**


5Point5Hole

First team to get Maddened AND win the SB


MrParticular79

That was Mahomes actually


yungmoneybingbong

HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!

ThePhoenixXM

Join the club. You guys cried like babies about the NFC Championship game against my Eagles only to lose to the same team as us the next season. You got your just rewards.


Timely-Bill-5336

Cope harder. ![gif](giphy|1yYfbM2icBBHG|downsized)


ThePhoenixXM

I could say the same for you Bill. Keep trying to say you would've beaten us, it wouldn't have mattered after all you keep losing Super Bowls to the Chiefs.


Timely-Bill-5336

Oh yes... gimme more ![gif](giphy|QynMX1WxnYFbb2OHnJ)


Hereticalish

Yall literally looked worse than us tits fans last year and we didn’t even do anything of note outside of look like an entire lake of sewage.


5Point5Hole

Holy shit, this is a joke sub, brosephus McNoHumorPants Football is just dumbass entertainment. Try not to take it seriously like you're defending your tribe from foreign invaders or something, JFC


GrGrG

Mission on Impossible difficulty: Take a joke but you're an Eagles fan. Side note: This is why they are easy to troll. Look at how bent they get out shape at anime gifs.


5Point5Hole

🤣 Imagine being so mad that you need to spend time on the internet seriously stanning for professional athletes


GrGrG

...oh great a small pickle.


CharDMacDennis2

Mister Baby Cornichon


VoteForWaluigi

No because the Bills are cursed and they proved it just makes the pain double by reminding you of an awful past moment. The Bills lost to the Chiefs again, and did it in a way that called back to the way they lost a Super Bowl.

don’t be happy yet what if it’s actually the raiders defense that gets cursed

Can we get both out of the deal?

CHawkr

Here I thought EA couldnt possibly make Madden any worse. Then they go and put a 49er on the cover.


Joeman180

Well we got college football 25 this year soooo


Razgriz_101

I mean the Sherman one was terrible, and it ain’t just on the fact it was a Seahawks player it was just so damn bland.


CHawkr

It was terrible. Reading the wiki, he was fan voted and rightfully deserved the cover. The cover was an artistic shift into incorporating the stadium more into the cover. Speculated this was because Lumen field was the loudest and they wanted to pay homage to it. That said, the stance, placement and coloring are pretty bad.


putaaaan

Totally agree, hated that cover


ImKylerMurray

The LOB cover was one of the worst ever as well


atmospheric90

I can't even deny that, it's pretty fucking terrible. Like, why didn't they put a photo of the tip or something?


Recent_War_6144

They don't allow dick pics on the Madden cover.


artygta1988

Then why did they have Richard Sherman on the cover?


CharDMacDennis2

Nice


8bitjer

Welp… there goes any hope I had for this year.


DAS_UBER_JOE

I *love* that


ThatFamousOrdeal

![gif](giphy|ZfiYf29HOVWT0ZnQLl)


StaggeringBeerMan

CMC fantasy football stock just took a dip


atmospheric90

Having the 1st pick is a fucking curse anyways. My super competitive league of 5 years has never had the 1st overall pick make the playoffs.


oneofheguys

Could be worse… your 1st round pick could’ve been Chubb 🥲 and the year before that Johnathan Taylor


CharDMacDennis2

That's on you if you picked Jonathan Taylor


King_Fluffaluff

I've been first pick 3 years in a row. Serpentine draft really makes you regret getting #1


Twotgobblin

#4 is where it’s at


funkbefgh

Defs going ‘22 again. Does that satisfy the curse (pleaaaaase)?


Panthila

Didn't Mahomes break the curse?


Professional-Mix-648

So did Brady, Calvin Johnson, and Antonio Brown. Although the curse hit Brown off the field lol


Kickenbless

Brady you could argue hit him off field as well eventually, and Calvin’s team still went 4-12 the year he was on the cover


Professional-Mix-648

Yeah but the Lions were always ass. He himself had a solid year, something like 1900+ yards.


CHawkr

So you guys will go 4-13 but McAffrey will have 1500+ yards. Ok I’ll allow it


Professional-Mix-648

Well I don't like that either


Minute_Age3328

you brought this on yourself


moseriv5

I was just telling my fellow 49ers homer, we have to deal with both a Super Bowl hang over and the madden curse….mother fucker


MAH415

![gif](giphy|4BGE0hSex6gzC)


massivecalvesbro

My immediate thought was the (already somewhat fragile) CMC has been struck with the Madden curse... yikes


Kickenbless

He was fragile in Carolina. Ever since the Niners got him he’s been healthy wealthy McGee


LegionOfDoom31

Which is crazy considering how the 49ers before CMC would have their RBs drop like flies (and proceed to have backups play like top 10 guys) I guess it’s one of those “negative times a negative equals a positive” things


TriGuyBry

Niners were weirdly injury resistant last year. Were changes made to their training staff? It was fun to watch em lose without an excuse. Here’s hoping they can do it again this year.


King_Fluffaluff

Their biggest injury happened during the Superbowl


ThePhoenixXM

They always seem to save their injuries for the playoffs. I remember when they cried like babies when their QBs got a injured in the NFC Champ game only for them to lose to the Chiefs like we did. Niners fans and the team as a whole deserved losing to the Chiefs.


King_Fluffaluff

Y'all cry louder than any other fanbase in the NFL. Why come here and try to start shit when our division owns your feathered ass.


GrGrG

He's reported every person who has responded to him....kinda sad really...like...if you come in here to troll...then get bent out of shape and call the mods/janitors when people spank you.


ThePhoenixXM

I think you have me mistaken. I haven't reported anyone.


GrGrG

![gif](giphy|9G3wg7lH5DpxC|downsized)


King_Fluffaluff

(they're a mod)


ThePhoenixXM

"Y'all cry louder than any other fanbase in the NFL." Really now? I see your flair. Are you a Seahawks fan? Tell me why would a Seahawks fan be defending their biggest rival? I would think a Seahawks fan would remember the whining the Niners and their fans did about the 2023 NFC Championship game. Tell me did it matter in the end? We both lost to the Chiefs did we not?


King_Fluffaluff

Nobody beats up my brother except me, especially not a loser who cheers for a team that hasn't beat the hawks in 16 years.


ThePhoenixXM

That is true. Pete Carroll had our number. 2023 was an illusion. We had our own internal issues. We lost both of our coordinators after the Super Bowl and one of them lied to us (Gannon) which caused our preferred choice to go to Miami instead. So we had to settle for less-than-ideal replacements. You try replacing 2 coordinators after all the quality candidates have been picked by other teams.


ThePhoenixXM

Besides, I seem to remember you needed Drew Lock of all QBs to lead a Montana-esque final drive to beat us. Besides, that is tough talk "Nobody beats up my brother except me". Really now? You got royally swept by them last season did you not and 2022? You haven't beaten the Niners since 2021. 3 years ago.


Twotgobblin

At least we took them to over time… Also, how did it go between us when the QB was on the field the full game?


ThePhoenixXM

You didn't have a penalty called against you at the worst possible time and didn't have to deal with the worst field in Super Bowl history. We simply got royally fucked. Also, to your past point, it is irrelevant. We had a godly defense in 2022 which we didn't have in 2023. Plus, our defensive coaching staff last season was one of the worst in the league. You guys only destroyed us because of poor coaching on our part. Sean Desai and Matt Patricia both suck and both have been fired. If we had Fangio last season it would've gone differently.


Twotgobblin

Pointing out other’s coping while coping doubly hard is kinda hilarious.


massivecalvesbro

So 6 years (CAR) fragile, 1.5 years (SF) healthy McGee. Must be overthinking it

trainwreck42

He’s actually the first Niner on a madden cover. Seahawks had Sherm (2015) and Shaun Alexander (2007), Rams had Marshall Faulk (2003), and Cards had a split cover with Larry Fitz sharing the spotlight with Troy Polamalu (2010). Edit: in North America. Garrison Hearst appeared on the 1999 cover of the PAL version.


TheXamYel

If the Madden cover curse was real the Niners would have won the SB in 2020


Skypirate90

My Raiders are on the Cover lets Goooooo


CarrotNo3203

Is this the actual cover?


ChoccyMilkIsMyLife

Mr. Superbowl fumble brought the L and the curse to his team. Am I beginning to like him?


ndf2695

This may cancel out our Super Bowl curse (I’m coping)


NoNotice8528

Fr though


MAU13717235

Easiest way to reverse the curse!


Sleepinismy9to5

The other good thing about this is the new college football games coming out so we don't have to have this garbage on our shelves.


WayOfTheNoob

*breath deeply* Well.....Cya all next year....


FatalDave91

Bro I hate your flair lol


WayOfTheNoob

Matches well with my PTSD post-SB


FatalDave91

Same ;_;


masterchaoss

2018 all over again


PedroPonydid911

Yall realize that means that we gonna see all of our teams get dunked on in the loading screen


Baydestrians

Technically, since the Raiders are in the background getting smoked, maybe the curse will have a reverse effect? I mean, that's gotta be worth a few games in the regular season.


WazzzupBwwwaaah

🙏🙏😩


nickromero23

a lot of people don't even acknowledge God but want to act all superstitious, shit is hilarious


sacking03

So that means we make the NFC Championship Game, have an MVP, or win Superb owl.


JordanMiller406

How did the Bills do last year?


sacking03

Lol still better than our 2020 season


8bitjer

Shhhhhhh


xH4V0Cx

It started with Garrison Hearst in 99. (First year a player was on the cover.) So it all started with the 49ers. EDIT: forgot to add that Garrison Hearst broke his fibula the year after the cover was debuted and thus, starting the "Madden Curse" So it's time that the 49ers break the curse indefinitely. the only way I see this happening is for CMC to have another record breaking year and finally win it all. I believe.


Miserable_Zucchini75

There's no way this is the actual cover is there?? One of the worst covers ever imo


JDMcClintic

As a fan of the next team most likely to get to the SB from the NFC, I whole heartedly endorse this decision.


GrGrG

As long as it's not the Cowboys...or Eagles...or Rams...or Toots...or the Packers....yeah...I think that's it.


Victal87

Didn’t Madden 25 come out in 2013?


LegionOfDoom31

Well I guess we can expect a 4 game CMC season now. Bros going back to his constant injury days, it has been foretold by the EA elders


BadAlphas

Can't believe they didn't use the pic of CMC fumbling in LVIII... /shambles


RamsDodgersLakers24

Isn’t mcaffery injury prone? And now cursed. Yikes


Usual_Commercial1658

lol cursed we already have Jed tho imo I don’t believe in curses


Usual_Commercial1658

Get ready 49ers fans for 8-9 and drafting a Te in the first round next draft


Usual_Commercial1658

Well deserved


Appropriate-Alps-442

![gif](giphy|mcH0upG1TeEak) 😂😂


specialgravity

I don’t believe it. Mccaffrey will never get hurt.


Felteair

the Seahawks made the SB and if they just gave the ball to Lynch probably back to back champs the year Sherman was on the cover you mean like the time Mahomes was on the Madden '20 cover and made it to a SB? Jackson was Madden '21 cover and rushed for over 1k yards or the time Mahomes was on the Madden '22 cover and WON the SB? Allen is on the Madden '24 cover and they made the AFCCG is the Madden curse even real anymore?


DoritoSteroid

Go back to the regular subs, incel.


Felteair

I'm sorry I brought logic here, lemme fix that. Rams? More like Dams that team sucks


xFLEXOx

Week 1 ACL tear incoming


Giberishusername1

Weirdo


FatalDave91

Of course a Lambs fan would say this. I never thought I’d say this but Seahawks fans are leagues classier and funnier than them.


Giberishusername1

Seriously bruh. Seahawks fans have actually proven over the last couple years that they can lose to us with a LITTLE bit of class, while the Lambs simply can’t. Some Seahawks fans are even more creative with their insults/comebacks towards us than Lambs fans.


Ok-Coach9006

Those are some ugly classic jerseys I think it’s time for a change 🤣 mahomes cooked the 9ners to the case of madden and lost what a low blow


FatalDave91

Not really sure what you just said, but those jerseys are some of the best in the league. You’re tripping.


Ok-Coach9006

time for a change old school y’all keep losing in them classic jersey making history look bad to my eyes


FatalDave91

Ah I get you, yeah they didn’t win very much wearing the 1996-2008 maroon set either. Lol


CashJ4me

Probably another injury


SorryDepartment7179

R.I.P. CMC. You will be missed 🙏 🕊️


awt1990

"Really cooked" not sure I believe in curses, especially when they are being posted by Rams fans who just found their first hair on their pecker. See y'all at Levi's South 22 Sept.

UniversityBig7720

Curse + curse= no curse. I'm really digging the cover. Bang bang motherfuckers.


CHawkr

| Bang bang motherfuckers. Okay but why did you have to take out both of Mcaffreys knees. One would have satisfied the curse


Melt-Gibsont

I love this sub because it’s a nice reminder that the LA Rams are an NFL team.
