Coverage of Michael Crabtree's deal with the 49ers has largely ignored an important and interested demographic: gamers. Fear not, Madden fans. Happy Crabtree will be added in the latest online update. Just don't expect him to hold onto the ball.Crabtree gets an 82 rating, making him San Fran's top receiver. But given the newest Niners' online debut, it appears his avatar needs to shake off some rust.

Coincidence or omen?
Hopefully for Crabtree, the Madden jinx applies only to cover boys, and not to diva receivers who miss the first quarter of the season in pursuit of Darrius Heyward-Bey money. Though, unlike Heyward-Bey, Crabtree caught the pass.
That aside, no word yet on a Madden update for Junior Seau. Nor if he'll be dressed as a rodeo clown.
