Why is Michael Vick more fragile than a piece of china?
 

I am in my 8th season of Madden for XBOX.

I am doing a franchise, and Michael Vick is my QB.

Here are his games played year by year for my team

2006 - 15
2007 - 6
2008 - 5
2009 - 5
2010 - 6
2011 - 8
2012 - 10
2013 - 4

I run out of bounds with him, never let him have contact, but he can throw a pass for a touchdown, then get hit and break an ankle.

Is there a more fragile player in Madden?

ya there is, but maybe ask sporting events.

Re: Why is Michael Vick more fragile than a piece of china?
 

Madden isn't a real sporting event, figured it should be posted here. Heck, there is a thread on John Madden's famous posts here.

I stand that this is allowable and appropriate here.

After 2006 Matt Schaub becomes the starter and Vick's game time merely reflects the times when Schaub is injured.

If you get him hurt early in the franchise he will get hurt more often, same as the other stuff that improve or not depending on training and performance.

madden is the gayest game ever. try winning eleven soccor. it is more realistic.

Chris Perry has the same problem IRL [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

try not being completely lame and playing with vick?

Re: Why is Michael Vick more fragile than a piece of china?
 

Chris Perry? You are relying on him?

Heck, with Vick injured all the time, I have been able to try out several other quarterbacks.

I got Jon Kitna to toss for 69 touchdowns in one season, but he retired the following year.

I also found Mark Randall to have hidden skills, and of course, Seneca Wallace.

So you cheese out and run the option??

Life imitating video game:

Chris Perry, RB CIN

News: The Bengals have officially placed RB Chris Perry on Injured Reserve with a broken right fibula. Kenny Watson is expected to back up Rudi Johnson for the remainder of the season. The Bengals replaced him on the roster with defensive lineman Jonathan Fanene.

Analysis: In six games, Perry had 57 rush yards on 10 carries with nine catches for 42 yards. Watson is a decent insurance policy for Rudi Johnson, but other than him, no one listed above should be on a Fantasy roster.

and of course, Seneca Wallace.

I love playing with Seneca Wallace or Adrian McPherson and trying to get them good. Scrambling QB's are key in Madden. Playing with Vick is practically cheating though, in fact, we used to outlaw him when we did draft leagues.

best team i ever had in madden I had mcphearson as my #1 QB. I rename him Will Beamen (steamin!) and would only throw 5-10 yard passes with him for the 1st season. After a year he was good and after 2 he was unreal.

Re: Why is Michael Vick more fragile than a piece of china?
 

In real life how long do you expect a rushing QB to last? Certainly not that long

Re: Why is Michael Vick more fragile than a piece of china?
 

But you expect to get a couple complete seasons out of him, right?

Re: Why is Michael Vick more fragile than a piece of china?
 

After my first season I traded for Vince Young and he is a rushing warrior. Good arm, rushes well, and is tough-as-nails.

He has had a couple of seasons where he only missed one game but he hasn't yet had a complete season in the nfl.

Being Vick in Madden is a huge bitch move

Re: Why is Michael Vick more fragile than a piece of china?
 

Being Vick is balla, in my opinion. What button do I push on the controller to flip the home crowd the bird?

[/ QUOTE ]why? Sure hes fast, but hes not that great of a passer. I don't see how its any different than real life, and its not like the Falcons are dominating the NFL.
