Dec. 15, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The NFL video game that has been on the bestseller list for a considerable period of time is believed to create negative impact on players, whose pictures are displayed on the cover. As per the media reports, the NFL player whose image features on the cover of the game experiences bad luck throughout the year. It has been reported that either the team exhibits poor performance or the player suffers from several injuries that affects his gaming career. The latest edition of ‘Madden NFL’ video game has the picture of two players and to complete dismay of the fans, both of them have sustained injuries.

This year, EA Sports’ video game ‘Madden NFL’ selected the photographs of two talented football players of the country. One of them is Larry Fitzgerald of Arizona and the other is Troy Polamalu of Pittsburgh. As images of two players appear on the cover of the game, many people expected that the rumor of bad luck that is related to this game would be dismissed this year. However, the outcome has been just the opposite of what has been anticipated by people.

Both of them have been injured after their pictures were selected for the video game cover. Troy Polamalu was the first to be injured and Larry Fitzgerald was hurt last night. His leg injury in the match against the San Francisco 49ers has not only affected his career but also led the Cardinals to lose the match, giving a jerk to their dream of retaining the NFC West title. These incidents have once again circulated the question that the players who pose for Madden NFL cover are cursed.
