Vick is the most broken player in Madden history As someone who lives near Philadelphia and has never played a Madden game, when I hear Michael Vick, all I can think of is dogfighting controversy. Right or wrong, everyone shit on the Eagles for years (at least in these parts) after they hired him out of prison. I'm usually all for separating the art from the artist, but this is a case where I wasn't even familiar with the art. --- Video Game Music Contest 14 champion: Idola Phantasy Star Saga - Endeavour ...

azuarc 02/23/21 10:50:23 AM #38: |
I mean, yeah, kinda figured. Dude was a freak athlete, especially before prison. My point was that I wasn't aware that digital Michael Vick was so renowned that he'd outshine his real world's counterpart by enough to make it into a contest like this with a non-bottom seed and get a third of the vote. But since I'm usually annoyed AF when people crap on something only because they don't like some single person's association with it, I guess I should be pleased.

Okay, they've finally got the polls up on their social media platforms. The biggest difference is that Ryu is beating Fox everywhere except the main site, so he could pull that out depending on how many votes those bring in.
I'm honestly kind of stunned Mega Man is beating Snake, but I guess it's because of that Peach result. It shouldn't be too surprising that MGS is too new for this crowd...! --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
