Deplorable Moraniac Clinging to my guns and Bibles User ID: 76239479 United States 09/09/2020 12:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In what is likely going to be viewed as peak virtue signaling, EA Sports has announced that in their latest edition of their hugely popular Madden 21 video game, users will be able to play as Colin Kaepernick. Quoting: Half Past Midnight This is, of course, despite Kaepernick not having played in the NFL in four years. EA announced on Twitter on Tuesday: “The team at EA Sports, along with millions of Madden NFL fans, want to see him back in our game.” They continued: “Knowing that our EA Sports experiences are platforms for players to create, we want to make Madden NFL a place that reflects Colin’s position and talent, rates him as a starting QB, and empowers our fans to express their hopes for the future of football. We’ve worked with Colin to make this possible, and we’re excited to bring it to all of you today.” Their statement referred to Kaepernick as "one of the top free agents in football and a starting caliber quarterback." His player rating is said to have gone from a 74 overall in Madden 17, the last year he was legitimately in the video game, to an 81 in Madden 21, after not being in the league for 4 years. Kaepernick also has his own personalized introduction in the game and - when he scores a touchdown - he holds up a "black power" fist.

But a black power fist too? No celebrations in NFL football either. So, we have: A non-player as a starting QB in the game That non-player rated 81 when 58 would be more like it And non-penalized post-touchdown celebrations by said non-player. EA. If it’s in the game, it’s in the game. And sometimes if it’s NOT in the game, it’s still in the game. Fucking SJW assholes. Winter is Coming. |

How do you idiots support these games and companies? How do you still support professional sports? |
Exusiai User ID: 77396505 United States 09/09/2020 12:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Given what I heard about Madden 21 being a heap of trash that did nothing to innovate or change problems from Madden 20, I'd actually say this is a smart move on their part. If you don't buy it, you can be accused of not supporting Kaepernick and his BLM-esque actions. Plus you will attract many people that will buy it just for the Woke points. Then if they play they won't realize how bad it is. Bonus is it gives reviewers something to focus on besides the game mechanics, boosting scores that otherwise would have been very low. Just pointing out that this is more likely a marketing ploy than anything else. Easier to throw a million bucks at Kaepernick and get his likeness in than pay millions more to get a good development team that would make a good game. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76629249 Ha! They should have all the troubled screwups in it as independent FA and you can make up a team called the Vagrants to play as an expansion. Lmao If it isn't in The Bible then it is just conspiracy theory. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77973961 Netherlands 09/09/2020 01:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He never was a good quarterback. In his prime he was very strong and athletic, and on his best day was an average QB. As with these types, the older they get, they gain wieght, lose speed, and get injured more. His last year he had the LOWEST QB rating of all starting QB's. When he could no longer run around, he actually had to read defenses and be a REAL QB, from the pocket. IF you were GM looking for a QB, would you want him? Mabey if your desperate for a backup, but with his baggage........No Thanks. He's only a starter in his own mind. As far a Madden goes, look into (((who))) owns all these gaming companies. His raiting should be about 58 to 63 overall. not good. |
