Bengals Rank High in New Madden Game

If you're like me then you're a massive nerd and if you're a massive nerd then chances are, you like video games. Now, I can safely assume that if you're reading this, you're a Bengals fan, which makes you a football fan, and as a football fan and a nerd, you probably play football video games. When it comes to football video games, there's one that stands head and shoulders above all the rest. Madden.

I think all football nerds are in agreement that Madden is hands down the best football game around. No matter what team is your favorite, it's always fun to log on line and get slaughtered by some 14-year-old punk who, in all likelihood, won't kiss a girl until he's in his mid-30's. Well, 14-year-old, while you're practicing, I'm chilling with your mom..... BURN..... ahem.... sorry, I kinda got off on a tangent there but it's not cool to roll your extremely slow, pocket passing QB, out to the sidelines to throw across the field every play because it's basically cheating (you know who you are.... WHOdeyFAN13).

Anyway, the whole point of this long pointless post is to say that this years Madden (Madden '11) has been fairly kind to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Saints (overall rating 92) and the Colts (91) had their ratings fall off the 2010 game, but still hold the top spot. The real question … who is No. 3? That’s the Ravens. Rounding out the top ten are the Jets, Vikings, Packers, Cowboys, Patriots, Bengals and Chargers.

Top 10... not too shabby. I don't really understand how the Ravens are ranked third considering that the Bengals swept them last year but I guess the Bengals will just have to prove those geeks at Electronic Arts wrong again this year.

Actually not all nerds are in agreement that Madden is the best football game around.

Its the only one around so if you want to play NFL football on your gaming console you have to purchase this hunk of junk. NFL 2K5 is the best NFL football game made even with 6 more installments of Madden. Cannot wait till the license agreement runs out so 2K sports can make another NFL game.

I agree

NFL 2K5 was the best. However, don’t hold your breath on another 2K football game. There’s no reason to think that EA Sports won’t just drop a load of cash to renew their exclusive license with the NFL again. I am not a fan of EA. They charge too much for a game that should be much better given how long they have been at it. But since so many people continue to buy new $50+ Madden games every year, just to gripe about the flaws and player ratings, nothing is going to change.

The 2k series was way better except for one year.

Agreed

I dream of the day that 2K sports will again be afforded the opportunity to make another NFL game!

about the ravens being higher

a lot of it has to do with boldin, who was a high 80s player and flacco developing. still don’t think they’re better, but whatevs.

RIP Slim.

NFL Gameday was my favorite competition against Madden

but now that all others have been forced aside by the EA exclusive rights If they brought back Gameday I wouldn’t be as interested in it as I would be the new Madden..
