Madden Superstar?

My Journey As An NFL Superstar
By: Anonymous

When NFL Superstar was released in Madden 2006, I was pretty excited. I had a WR that eventually made it to the Colts, and the amalgamation of Manning to my wideout was deadly. I spent the first 3 years of my career in Houston, bringing up my overall before I may possibly get the hell out of there to a descent team. The ending was unsatisfying, and it wasn’t a challenge because I racked up over 1000 receiving yards per game. When Madden 07 came out, Superstar Mode was completely revamped. Now you only control your player, and you don’t call the plays anymore. No more 1000 receiving yard games I guess. I noticed that there was a lot more selection in choosing your Superstar, and you can choose the face shape and race of your player. I chose a WR whose dad was the Randy Moss of his time, so he’s probably quick. My mom is a neurologist, so she’s has to be smart, right? They both have average IQ’s, high 90’s. Here is my superstar’s journal, from his perspective.

April 5th
Hey Journal. It’s Davon Auburn here. It seems like just yesterday when we won the NCAA championship. I sure am gonna miss Florida State. But I am movin on in my pursuit of the Hall of Fame. I signed my first agent today. His name is Jimmy Powers. I was pretty disappointed no one else wanted me, but what can you do? I have my first workout tomorrow. I hope I impress them.

April 6th
I took my trip to Green Bay today. They wanted me to run a Send Running drill. It was Brett Favre and I against two defenders. It was such an honor catching passes from a legend. He patted me on the back with the workout was done. I am starting to feel the anxiousness of the Draft. I feel like the workout improved my catching a bit, partly because I didn’t want to embarrass for myself in front of Mr. Favre.

April 12th
From one Hall of Famer to the next. I traveled to New England today to work out with Tom Brady. I was responsibility the same workout I had done in Green Bay. I felt a real connection between Mr. Brady and I. We connected on over half of the plays. Coach Belicheck shook my hand afterwards and told me he was very interested in drafting me, which was a huge honor. I have to go study now. I have my Wonderlic Private Test in a couple days.

April 13th
I was surprised to wake up this morning to a buzz call from the NFL Network asking for an interview this morning. I said yes, of course. They questioned me questions in this area Santonio Holmes and me, and who I want to get drafted by. I tried to be polite, I didn’t want to seem like a further flashy receiver with an mind-set problem. I told them I wanted to be drafted by Green Bay, because of all the history there. I need to study a bit more for my Wonderlic test tomorrow.

April 14th
Fantastic news!! I took my test today and got a 90%. The question I got incorrect was the antonym of temporal. I had no thought what it meant. I looked it up as soon as I got home, and the definition is “concerning to time”. I guess the antonym is “not concerning to time” or somethin’. A 90% is no terrible score, and my agent congratulated me/

April 19th
I ran a further send running drill today in St. Louis. Marc Bulger and I had a strong performance today. I showcased my speed and burned the Ram’s secondary for a few long gains. I feel like I am getting better every week, with a amalgamation of my workouts and playing catch with my neighbor.
April 22nd
The WR part of the NFL combine was today. The scouts questioned if I may possibly do my 40 time. I am not feeling very well today and I only was able to run a 4.41 second 40 time. I hope this doesn’t hurt my draft stock. In brighter news, the draft is only a week away and I am done with my workouts. I hope to get a call soon in this area being invited to the Draft. But if I don’t get the call, I’m not worried.

April 29th
I didn’t get the call unfortunately, so I am sitting here with my family watching the draft. I thought for sure I was going to get picked late in the 2nd round by the Patriots, but that didn’t happen. The Jets are on the clock right now. Wouldn’t that be somethin’ if the Patriots rivals took

April 30th
Sorry in this area yesterday. The Jets picked me as I was writing and the room went up in celebration. I am officially a Jet now. I’m pretty excited. The Patriots are going to see a lot of me now, aren’t they? I got my hair buzzed today and a couple tattoo’s. I have plenty of money. The Jets offered me a contract as soon as I got the call yesterday. $ 11,100,000 over 2 years with a signing bonus of $ 1,900,000. Not terrible. I guess Jimmy did me well. I also get to keep the #12 that I made so well-known at my high teach in Florida. What a fantastic day it has been!

August 1st
Hey, sorry it’s been so long. I have been working out very hard and I haven’t been able to write in a while. I have my first training camp practice today. The Jets told me that I will be battling it out with Lavernues Coles for the starting WR position, so you bet I am going to give it my all.

August 4th
We got creamed by the Buc’s today in our first preseason game, 24-3. I gave a mediocre performance, 2 receptions for 28 yards. But this is the preseason, so hopefully I will get better. Plus, I only played one half. I am the starting KR and the #2 guy for PR, so hopefully I can showcase my speed in that department, just hope I don’t hurt for myself.

August 12th
If the first game was terrible, then the 2nd game was horrible. Coles and I went to face his former team, the Redskins, and we got spanked 28 -18. At least we scored touchdowns, but I only got 1 catch and for a measly 9 yards. This is not how to win a position battle. I hope I can improve quickly. We play the in-house rival Giants next week. Maybe I will do better then.
August 14th
I was surprised to learn that a movie wanted me to star in their film. I got the offer today but I turned them down. As a rookie, I need to focus on football. Maybe I will next year, but not right now.
August 18th
The excellent news, we won our first game today. The terrible news, I didn’t get a release catch or kick return. I was, but able to wave my hand in the air for a honest catch on a punt. I was utterly embarrassed by my performance today. I still don’t have a TD in the preseason. I hope Coach Mangini see’s that I am putting forth my best effort.
August 25th
Better late than never, I suppose. We won today and I had 4 catches for 70 yards to lead my team. Today was our last preseason game and we need a further couple weeks of practice before the fixed season starts. Coach Mangini awarded me the starting job with seeing my effort. I am very excited for the new season, but the overly long preseason has been a bit tiring. I am nervous to get into the endzone, so hopefully I can impress in my first game.
September 7th
Today is opening day for the NFL. The Steelers are facing my division rival Dolphins today. Go Steelers! It feels weird going against my ancient favorite team, but hey, I’’ not going to root for a division rival, am I? We open against the Titans in a few days. My knees are already shacking.
September 10th
Today was ok at best today. I got my first career win, which was awesome, but my first career reception evaded me. We won only by a top to the lowly Titans. It looked over when the Titans were within 3 and they got 2 points on a safety, but out D held up and kept them out of Field Goal range. We lost Curtis Martin today for 3 weeks. Injuries are never a excellent thing, but maybe I will be able to get some catches over the next few weeks while our running game is temporarily impaired.

September 17th
I showed New England why they should have drafted me today. Though my receiving stats were ok, 3 catches for 33 yards, I was able to touch the sweet endzone on a 86 yard punt return for a touchdown. I also had 3 kickoff returns for 124 yards. While I would rather have receiving stats, a TD is a TD, and it helped us beat our division rivals 21-18.

September 24th
I touched the endzone again today, with a 100 yard kickoff return. I also had an ok day receiving, 6 catches for 54 yards. I feel excellent in this area this season, we still have not cracked the loss column. We won 28-16 over division rival and upstate rival Buffalo. We head to Indy next week though, but I am confident we can pull of a win.

October 1st
6 receptions for 62 yards to lead my team in the assault against Indianapolis. Though I didn’t get my first career TD reception, I led my team in catches and yards as we won 24-14. I am still nervous to get into that endzone. Hopefully next week when we play Jacksonville.

October 8th
A day of mixed feelings today. Hearing the overhead announcer say “Pennington drops back….looks….fires to Auburn..TOUCHDOWN Jets!” was so exciting. Hey, it may have only been a 3 yard pass, but hopefully it is the first of many. But, hearing the same announcer say “And the closing score is Jacksonville: 38, New York: 35” was a heartbreaker. We are still 4 and 1 and leading the AFC East though.

October 15th
Finally! A day everything goes my way. 9 receptions for 106 yards and a TD to lead the team to a 20-9 beating of division rival (and my former favorite team) Miami. It felt so excellent to finally have a excellent game like that. I hope this momentum carries over to next week.

October 22nd
Ok, maybe it didn’t carry over. But we still won. I had 4 catches for 62 yards. We beat the Lions 23-20. I am starting to get used to this “winning” thing.

October 29th
Well, today sucked, royally. 2 catches, 35 yards. Beaten 34-17 by the Browns. I am at a lost for words. We get a much needed Bye week next week, than we head to New England. We have refined half of the season now, and we are 6 and 2. That’s excellent I guess.

November 1st
I had an unexpected interview today. They questioned in this area our teams first half success and how we can improve. I stayed polite and I reckon the interviewer appreciated that. I was watching ESPN later that night and they labeled me as a possession receiver. Well, if I am this quick and I am a possesion receiver, than hopefully I can place collectively a fantastic career.

November 12th
I woke up this morning, well-rested with our bye week, ate som Wheaties and headed out to Gillette Stadium early to work out with Chad. Boy did it show. 6 receptions, 135 yards and a TD in a 31-26 win over the Pats. What a day, what a day. We are now 7-2 on the season.

November 19th
In a game that featured 5 field goals, we fell a field goal small against the Bears. I had 5 catches for 77 yards, including a 48 yard reception. But the Bears kept me out of the endzone as they won 16-13.

November 23rd
I had a further interview today. I guess I am getting well loved. They talked playoffs to me and saying we have a legit shot of making them. I despise talking in this area playoffs when there are 6 games left, but I kept that in and stayed polite. Our team is facing to Houston in a few days. Hopefully we will be able to pull out a W and at least clinch a .500 season.

November 26th
We won. 30-27. But it wasn’t my day, it was our TE Chris Baker’s day. He had 9 receptions for 113 yards. I was held to 3 receptions for 39 yards, but a win is a win. It certainly wasn’t simple. We won 30-27 with a GW field goal in overtime. It seems the simplest teams can give you the toughest problems. We are now 8-3, still holding on to our lead in the AFC east.

December 3rd
They say there is nothing quite like a cold December game at Lambeau Field. Well, maybe for the Packers. We got absolutely demolished by them. I led the team in receptions, with 4. Only 32 yards to go by the side of with that, a further team high. We were able to squeak out 10 points in the 3rd and 4th quarters, but it wasn’t nearly enough to match the Pack’s 42. We are now 8 and 4 on the season.

December 10th
We came back to the Meadowland’s, looking for a win. But a OT field goal for the Bills gave them a win. I returned my second kickoff for a TD this year, going 92 yards. I was held to 2 receptions for 32 yards. Not a excellent day, not a excellent day at all.

December 17th
We played against the Vikings today, hoping to end our 2 game losing skid. But my TD was the only TD we would get as we lost 28-10. I am personally lucky with my performance, 6 catches for 72 yards. But we are now 8-6. We play Miami next week in my first career Monday Night Football game. I hope this streak ends, quickly.

December 25th
Merry Christmas! Or. At least it was for Miami. Today was just an embarrassment. We lost 20-3. I had a catch for 16 yards. AND we are now tied for 2nd in the Division with Miami. The Patriots took over the lead a couple weeks ago. It has been a horrible past few weeks. We are heading into the last game of the season. Hopefully, we can pull out a miracle.

January 1st
A further Monday night game, a further loss. What a horrible way to end the year. 5 straight losses. We haven’t won since November! I had 2 catches for 10 yards. And of all the teams to loose to, we lost to Oakland 21-7. But we made it in as a Wild Card team, even though we were only .500 on the season. I end this year with 65 receptions for 781 yards and 4 Td’s. Not that excellent. But I made the Pro Bowl as a KR, so that’s excellent I guess. We face New England in the first game.

January 6th
We lost, what else is new? I had 4 grabs for 64 yards but New England rocked us 37-17. The season is over now. Its pretty disapointing having it all end this way. I guess I am going to have to train harder this offseason to improve. Next year is a contract year for me, so I am going to set my goals high. I am hoping for 75 receptions, 1000 yards and 8 TD’s. Hopefully, it will happen and we can return to the playoffs.

January 10th
I had a tough interview today. We talked in this area the loss and it was pretty hard knowing we won’t be playing again this year. I have the Pro Bowl to look forward to though, so that will be fun.
