The third season of the ESPN reality show Madden Nation is now in the process of casting and the application can be found here.
This is a show that does a disservice to Madden fans, EA Sports, and gamers in general.
The spotlight falls on ego-driven, immature, brash and annoying individuals who will do anything it takes to win games. That includes exposing flaws in Madden and using those advantages to win a videogame contest. Stereotypes confirmed! It’s not a test of who is the best at Madden, it’s all about who can cheat the game the most effectively.
ESPN is the only winner here producing a show that is relatively cheap to make and gets enough viewership to be profitable. Unfortunately this sensationalist brand of show does the numbers needed to keep it going and not force a change to the formula.
I will not be watching another minute of Madden Nation. The couple times I have tried to, it has almost made me nauseous and ashamed to be a part of the online Madden community that people see those on the show as representing.

Hey, sweaty guy, get a life. the show is entertainment. It’s cast is selected for their personalities. If you want to see real, go to the Madden Challenge…or watch CSPAN. It’s fun to see Madden related content in any format. Sheesh. You sound like you’re a hundred years old.

I completely agree with you here pastapadre. This show is utterly ridiculous in just about every way. The favorite weapon of this bunch of cheesers is the “run backwards 25 yards and, while sprinting, heave a 75 yard bomb to an elite wide receiver down field” play. Another favorite is the run goal line offense every single play of the game.
This show takes away everything that I love about Madden and replaces it with a bunch of brash imbeciles who yell and scream and get in each other’s faces. Ugh.

The show is lame and the shows the ultimate level of douchebaggery. Think about it, how cool is it to watch a show where you watch people play friggin’ videogames?! Why do that when I can just fire up my 360 and play myself?

These remarks are racist and the people who agree with him are also white trash. the show features the elite madden players and maybe they do crazy plays but remember its win or go home so if you have nuthin nice to say dont say it at all.

i think that madden nation should let people who like to play madden a shot at winning money. People that are good at it can even plat to win cuz its only for people who live in big citys. its pointless if your not going to let everyone try at winning a 100 thousand………………………….
