No this isn't the Madden curse you normally hear of, where the cover athlete gets injured or has a bad year. This one is more anecdotal, and directly affects the Rams.
See, since 2004 I have bought Madden every year. Every year I go and start a season and take the Rams to the virtual superbowl. I played with features like Hit Sticks, Truck Sticks, Truck Stick 2.0, Group Tackling, & QB Vision Cone. Every year, IRL the rams failed the season. Often failing miserably. But digitally, Steven Jackson, Tye Hill, Sam Bradford, Chris Long, Lauranauitis, james laurinaitis, and co broke many records and became enshrined in the HoF of my playstation.
Fast forward to 2017, I'm an adult and a new father, I don't really have time (or the money) to spend on Madden right when it releases. However, I enjoyed my real life Rams having a great season and finally get to the playoffs! Out of pure excitement, I buy Madden 18 and simulate a Rams Superbowl win in Superbowl 52! Then I watch us go 1 and done in the playoffs.
This year, life has made me crazy busy so I still have not purchases the new Madden game, similar to last year. But now I'm skeptical, perhaps it's a curse. Perhaps I should wait until after the Superbowl to buy the game. But I'm really itching to play it now.
