The all video game team

I've been playing football games as long as I've been playing video games. Starting with Tecmo Bowl on the NES to nearly every years of Madden starting with Madden Football on the Sega Genesis. And over that time I've played as and against players that essentially break the game, these are a few of my favorites.

Runningback - Bo Jackson - Tecmo Super Bowl (NES, 1991)

Unlike today, back in the NES days each player had to pick a different team, and it was a dead sprint to play as the Raiders, and here's why




Quarterback - Michael Vick - Any Madden game from 2004 on

The Madden series has always had a obsession with speedy players, especially at the QB position, and it really got out of hand with Vick, you could pretty much run and throw beyond anything that was even close to Vick's abilities, I of course always broke his legs when I played as him, but got torched against him.


Wide Receiver - Randy Moss - NFL 2k5 (xbox, PS2 2004)

There is no denying Randy Moss is a physical freak and a gifted player, as a Packer fan all I could do is sit back and watch him rip through our secondary year after year. His video game self is even more of a maniac. (P.S. This game is over six years old and people are still creating modern rosters for it, NFL lets end this Madden exclusive thing and have a few options)


Wide Receiver - Greg Jennings - Madden 2011 (xbox 360, PS3 2010)

I'll be honest, this video makes it on the commentary alone, but I am a Jennings fan, but come on, this dude is a Jennings FAN. Broken leg and still carrying the load.
