5 most unstoppable NFL stars in Madden history

Best Madden players of all time: Michael Vick, QB, Atlanta Falcons

We will have to wait and see what this year’s Lamar Jackson is rated. But, while we sit on hold to see what his rating is, the most unfair and unstoppable player to use in Madden history goes to Michael Vick in Madden 2004.

Having Vick atop the list is almost cliché at this point. Every list has him penciled in at No. 1. He was ridiculously good in Madden ’04.

This version of Vick has become transcendent in the Madden community. Each year, he gets a juiced-up card in the Ultimate Team game mode, which players flock to get and pay a high price for if he is on the market.

Why? Because there has never been a quarterback like him on any other game. Vick received a 95 rating, and he was also the cover athlete for Madden 2004. His speed was rated in the 90s, as was his agility and acceleration.

In the open field, this Vick was as elusive as the highest-rated running backs and receivers, and his throw power was highly rated as well. Vick rolling out on play action was a nightmare for the opposition because he had the arm to make any throw on the game, and he could break out of the pocket and burst down field with his legs.

Vick’s Madden legacy cannot be overstated. He was so much fun to use, and there has not been a gunslinger like him since. Speed, strong arm, and the ability to do it all at quarterback with a 95 rating makes him the most unstoppable player this franchise has ever had.
