Raczilla Report #7: My Madden Great

Marshall Fauk in 2003.  Brian Finneran in 2004.  Every year there are players in Madden who stand out above the rest of the crowd.  For me personnally, Trung Canidate in Madden 2004 was the best player I've ever had on a Madden roster.  I'm a Redskins fan (please don't bring up the Pats) and had them in an online league that year.  While I eventually lost in the playoffs , Trung provided a potent weapon offensively that carried my team all year long.

My Madden accomplishments are pretty important to me.  While I don't write down a lot of my records or most impressive Madden feats, I generally remember the ones that are most important to me.  Like the time in Madden 2003 when my buddy "Tim Buktu" threw 8 picks to me in what was my biggest win ever at the time.  Or the time in Madden NFL 07 when I ran for over 400 yards in a single game against an opponent online.

I'm most proud though of the 1900+ yards I racked up in my Madden 2004 league with Trung Canidate.  Trung's speed was almost unrivaled, and that made him dangerous both running the ball and catching passes out of the backfield.  You could match him up with just about any linebacker in the game and he'd blow right by them.  I was so confident with him at running back, that I'd often call a run on 3rd and long and still manage to convert. 

Trung's biggest game for me came in the league playoffs that year, when he ran for 382 yards against the 49ers.  My opponent in that game threw for over 400 yards himself in what was a battle of two extremely tough offenses.  I came out on top and it was all thanks to the success of Trung Canidate at running back.  He was my security blanket all year long.

I must have had a 200 yard rushing game 25 times or more with Madden 2004.  I've always been a solid runner, but never before then or since have I put up those kind of numbers.  Part of it was the offensive nature of the game that year, but a lot of it due to my secret weapon on the backfield.
