There’s nothing that will rob a man of his dignity quite like removing his character from a video game. Particularly when the game in question is John Madden Football. And that’s what happened to Michael Vick, a sure sign that things have hit absolute rock bottom.
The most dynamic player in the Madden franchise over the past five years has been removed from the game. Michael Vick, the Falcon’s star awaiting sentencing for dog fighting related charges, was removed from the Madden NFL 08 roster update. There has been quite a bit of speculation over the past several weeks as to what EA Sports was going to do with Vick - and the removal has many Madden die hards very happy, and many very upset.
From being on the cover of the game to being removed. You couldn’t possibly find more polar opposite conditions. Wow. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, this is truly sad.

Good for madden!!!!!
If you get caught breaking the law, you go to jail, and if you go to jail, then you’re in prison.

[...] Michael Vick Now Gone From Madden 08 As the Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback, Michael Vick was perhaps the best player in the EA Sports Madden video game. He had great speed and great arm strength, and although the real Vick often made poor decisions when reading defenses, in a video game his decisions are as good as the player’s. But Vick isn’t in the Madden video game anymore. EA Sports removed him from the Madden 08 roster update, which makes sense, as EA Sports prides itself on having the exclusive rights to real NFL rosters, and Vick is not on an NFL roster.On the other hand, if you’re a Madden player, the game just lost some of its fun. Three of the past four Madden Challenge National Champions have used the Falcons because, even though the Falcons aren’t the best team overall, a skilled Madden player can use Vick’s talents in a way that exceeds those of any other player. Because of his skills as a run/pass threat, Titans quarterback Vince Young may now become the game’s most popular player, in addition to its cover boy.
