Tendered San Diego Chargers Running Back Darren Sproles Has Game
The current running back for the San Diego Chargers talks about Madden Bowl XVI and videogames
The San Diego Chargers have tendered running back Darren Sproles to keep him on the team during this busy NFL free agency period. That’s good news for Madden fans, as well as Chargers fans, especially since Sproles seems to be trade fodder for the Chargers. Videogames give players a chance to change history, at least virtually. Fans can still play with Sproles on the virtual field in Madden as a Charger, even if he does get traded to the Redskins or some other team. Sproles likes to play videogames during the off season. He took some time to talk about the Madden phenomenon in this exclusive interview from Madden Bowl XVI.
What role does Madden Bowl play for NFL players during Super Bowl Week?
It's always fun. It's always fun to come out here and play and just have fun.
Are you a big videogamer?
Kind of. Kind of. But I ain't the best. But I talk like I'm the best, though, but I ain't the best.
How big a deal are the bragging rights for the winner of the Madden Bowl?
It will give them the whole year to brag about it.
What are your thoughts about what EA Sports can do today with these Madden videogames?
It's kind of crazy because how they make the stuff look so real. B when I'm out there playing the game, sometimes when I see the hole the player won't get to the hole fast enough for me.
You do it better on the real field?
Yeah.
And when the new game comes out every year, how big a deal is it to check out and see where your ratings are Madden?
That's what I always do, but they always make me – when I get hit, I go down too easy. I never break no tackles.
What would you like to see in next year's Madden if you could add something to the game?
You really can't add nothing. They've done everything to it, so I don't know.
Well how about your character? Maybe you want to break some tackles a little bit better?
Yeah. Yeah, that would probably be the best thing for me. Not to go down so easy.
