Hester granted 100 speed rating in Madden 08 |
Ó
A lot of Madden fans thought the day would never come when the guys at EA Sports would rate a player's speed at 100, but the impossible is now confirmed: Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears is the first man to receive the pedigree."It's an honor -- I don't know what to say, really," says Hester, the man who racked up his six scores on three punt returns, two kick returns and an incredible 108-yard return of a missed field goal attempt all in his rookie season in America's biggest and most popular sports league.
Despite the fact that Hester has achieved the ultimate rocket fuel award in electronic entertainment, he's not completely satisfied with how Madden rates his other stats. In particular, he thought his defense and breaking tackles ratings were a bit underrated.
"I definitely need to break more tackles. On a few of my returns last year I feel like I showed what I can do in that category," says the dissatisfied Chicago return man. What he has to worry more about is getting nerfed in Madden 09 if he becomes a little too unstoppable in this year's release.
Other speed demons have topped previous Madden games with a 99 rating on their pedals, with Hester's mentor Deion Sanders in that elite list, but "the Windy City Flyer" was deemed a cut above the rest for his insane ability to track down field goal attempts and return them for a score. Incidentally, Hester is also the first NFL player to open the Super Bowl with a touchdown on the first kick.

american football is for morons btw ... 1st
I love football! And I can see Madden 08 is going to be the next horrible version judging by this. Guess we'll see..
Wow, that was a nice ignorant comment, followed by an equally juvenile first. just because you don't like something doesn't mean that it's for morons. Perhaps you are the moron yourself. Madden sucks, but why shouldn't it? it's the only choice gamers have if they want to play an nfl licensed game for now. Hester doesn't deserve a 100 rating... there are definately faster players in the league, but he sure is fun to watch in real life.
Thats my boy devin hester making it big his first year. Go Bears. Screw thomas jones and lance briggs. Why cant there be players that just want to play the game and not be like I wont play for you if you dont offer me 1 billion dollars???
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn The first 100. D hest? I dont know about this one, but whatever.
Aha! My home team! The Bears rule...well....except Rex Grossman. He sucks.
American football is the ultimate team sport. Futbol is lame, too much running for so few points. American football players are the modern gladiators and yes many (if not most) of them are morons but they are still fun to watch. Good for Hester, although, I'm not convinced that he's the fastest Cane in the N.F.L. Either way it is fitting that a Miami Hurricane reached the 100 rating first. Speed, like most N.F.L. skills, is a Cane thing. It's all about The U.
Randy Moss had a 100 way back! So did James Jett. I guess the people at EA forgot that some of us played madden longer than the five previous years.
Have u ever seen Hester play? he can scoot like no other.. and you can't say im bias because i hate the bears... dont talk unless you know your football
Yes, Moss, did have a 100 in speed... and so did Jett
and so the madden curse lives......
i think there are better and faster returners in the nfl
Madden is the best game ever
