Madden NFL Hall of Fame

EA is set to announce the Madden NFL Hall of Fame program tomorrow. This is something that is community driven in determining what players or game related history makes the Hall of Fame based on different criteria. Gamestop has the early word on this in their blog and EA will lay it out in great detail tomorrow.

Because it’s a community-driven initiative, fan involvement is KEY. As an active member of the Madden Community, you can be a guiding force for the direction of the Madden NFL Hall of Fame. Every Madden NFL fan will have the opportunity to nominate and vote for which Madden NFL artifacts he or she thinks should be inducted each year — and anyone or anything is fair game. Nominate Eddie George as the first cover athlete, the ambulance from ’92 that harmed more players than it helped, the Rams playbook from ’99, or even the dreaded Madden Curse.

One has to wonder if Michael Vick, undoubtedly one of the most dominant players in Madden history, will be excluded. I suspect he will be. Outside of that it could be fun to speculate who and what from the history of Madden deserves a place in its Hall of Fame.

I'm sorry, so do these "artifacts" make it to Canton? If not, this is a waste of time.

excluding michael would be just BS bcause there a lot of players in the nfl that hav done worst things than him and michael has already and will continue to pay his debt with society and theres no doubt michael has been the best player on madden ever.

I agree with you on that, but it brings up an interesting question:

If Michael Vick dominated the NFL the way he did Madden, and then still got busted, would the NFL honor him as a HOF?

I don't think so. Michael Irvin's induction is probably as far as the Hall will go in terms of inducting players with criminal records. While you can argue that Vick didn't do anything to humans, that's not the way the public see it, and the Hall would not want to damage it's credibility.

EA would likely think in the same manner and I completely understand them leaving Vick out.

Call me crazy, but personally im tired of celebrating a franchise that has been stale,stagnant and downright sloppy for nearly 5 years now. Produce ONE critically acclaimed next gen version of Madden, I DEFY YOU EA.

I thought it was kind of funny you mentioned Vick like that. In the collector's box of Madden 09, they have a picture of every cover athlete in Madden in the past 9 years… except for Madden 04 (Vick). Just thought that was funny considering it was arguably one of the best Maddens
