- Madden World Syndicate
The Madden World Syndicate (MWS) is a community of
video game players of theMadden NFL Series developed byEA Sports .The MWS is a spinoff of The PFL.com, and the Madden NFL enthusiasts who first visited that forum. The PFL.com Madden NFL Forum first appeared on the Internet in 1997, and started gaining popularity in Summer and/or Fall of 1998. Israel Charles, otherwise known as "The Swammi" to Madden NFL fans, headed up the Forum, and was sooned joined on the forum not only by members of The PFL Madden NFL PlayStation League, but Madden NFL enthusiasts from all over the country. And The Greatest GAME EVER!
It wasn't until Fall of 2000 when the members of The PFL.com forum sought to create a governing body similar to what the NCAA was to collegiate athletics. Led by the efforts of Patrick "Player-Coach" Sims, The Madden World Syndicate became a reality by early 2001.
