 Let's take a look. There's some EA play early access to try out Madden 23 before it formally drops on August 19th This is my first time seeing the game John Madden on the cover. Let's go have some fun Gilbaes passing placement and accuracy. Hey, listen adapter Paris if they've got new passing in this game I got to try it out playing out ultimate team franchise face of the franchise while they're still doing face of the franchise Cut this shit out. Give me a real career mode just right off the bat, bro Here we go. Madden metallic jersey weight that goes Hard wait, is this for my like yard players? It's actually for ultimate team. Oh, it's for my yard player You know exactly what they're doing, bro. Are you shitting me? They may find it will clap a starter player store looks about the same as I'm used to but holy shit It is so much faster. I haven't looked at any of the players either family There's 89 Joe makes an 89 Nigeria Sneak. Oh, they hooked me up with a few Lions players Yeah, I'm just with modern state Brown and Greg now if this is dope They finally don't give you some bullshit bronze team. They actually give you like some Lions players All right, so where do we start boys? Why don't we open all the packs that we got from just the pre-order and from playing Madden 22 choose to Elite players don't mind if I do dude that goes so fucking hard. That's so sick Montez sweat. That's a good start elite animation is crispy. It's nothing crazy. It's crispy Montez sweat Isaiah Simmons Gabriel peppers I wonder if that's the same for everybody hard to say. I'm sure Isaiah Simmons is an amazing user Montez sweat is also probably an insane right end. I'm gonna go Montez sweat Jalen waddle Lamar Jackson Deandre Swift. Oh shit. I totally would have gone Lamar Jackson, but I gotta go Deandre Swift, bro Montez sweat Deandre Swift. That's a good way to start team all Madden team elite player. Dude, that gets me fucking horny That's so sick. Oh Like that animation blooper blubbing tin Barry Sanders. Oh, I didn't know that I didn't know okay Wait, dude, you guys gonna be so mad at me mad December. They're where Barry Sanders, but I'm not I'm not taking Barry Sanders here I'm taking Micah Parsons. Some of you may know why the rest of you just you're just gonna have to be patient I'm sorry, but I'm taking Micah Parsons or wait. Do I get two of these? I think I do I have two of those packs? Oh, I get two. Yes, I could also take Mary Sanders strategy Okay, so strategy is still a thing which I don't like but whatever corners plus one man's zone and press or catching Catching traffic spec. I'm sure this corner one is probably better. I think defense wins those championships Although I do get two options. Let's take offense on this one. What's the pack animation? Oh? That's so crispy fucking love it. Oh, okay. Wow, dude. This is gonna do the pack animation guy Is is Andrew fucking Tatum self-pro okay, so it is the same players every time I could take Isaiah Simmons, and I can get Lamar Jackson Let's go. Let's see what headliners animation is dude. These go hard as fuck Elijah Moore Walker Don Runyon Dude James Connor Milton Williams. I don't mind Elijah Moore I feel like going offense alignment here for a free player is probably the move John Runyon usually I take a line on my free players So I could open an 18 headliners bundle get 18 headliners packs and 582 plus headline players Let's view info. There's a 4% chance in a headliners pack to get 86 plus times 18 packs is actually pretty damn Good odds getting 86 plus I'd get 90 gold or better players in five elites That feels like it might be worth the 90 200 I have here What about the pro platinum elite bundle 38 elites 48 gold or better and a 3% chance at 87 plus I think I kind of have to go with this and just so we're clear boys I am going balls deep and making the content fucking insane this year. So let's just get over it right now I'm gonna be giving EA a lot of money a pro platinum elite bundle. I'm gonna open this We're gonna look at all the players that we got we're gonna check out the oxen house We're gonna hop into a game, and that's it for our season opener here boys. That's an elite right there KC Hey, word 82 if I pull anything 86 plus it's fucking bonkers right now Quentin Bohana two times elites works for me acre and a browns unit. Oh, that's crazy grand Elp I guess Campbell 84 Derek Carr 82. That was a browns back right there I had a lot of players in there Caleb Johnson Tane moody Russell Wilson. Yo, that's gotta be a good pull That's gotta be a good start to sound hot boys Jordan Whitehead as well. Are you guaranteed an 82 plus in these? This is way better last year Mike a sickie box tiari red doulge Cornelius Let's go Jordan Fuller David. That's a big pack right there 83 84 84 Eddie Jackson X Garcia CJ Gardner Johnson Carlos Watkins Okay, Vic Lavert Tracey Walker Michael Pittman's an 82 elite. I fuck with a Patrick Sartan 81 Say quads an 81. Oh the fall from grace say quads this season is having a massive season I'm calling it right now the Jerry's Snead Josh Jacobs, and I got a headliner. Oh, they have gold headliners, damn Dude, I really like these animations. They're not obnoxious in your face, but they're clean and sexy. Oh, we're off to platinum players What's this one build up the gold coins for shot fenton? Okay? I can pull anything 83 plus here. It's big coins See we got Austin 84 Tell me you guys gave a clearer picture. Don't tell me that's what that looks like. I'm praying That's just a goof 83 speed 82 excel actually a very solid very solid the early game running back keep me in the 83 range We'll be having a great day right here boys Robbie Anderson. Yeah, he strikes me as it might be an 80 Taylor Moulin's an 81 another platinum player This one is 80 Darnell Moody's an 81. Okay, there's fans. You got to explain it to me Why do all bearish fans think Darnell Moody is the next Randy Moss? I swear to God I hear more about Darnell Moody that I hear about legitimate top five wide receivers in the NFL. I think bearish fans actually think he's like top ten or something Jonathan Allen is gonna be a big one 85 that's gonna sell for big coins and that's huge right now. He can't be high. Oh Shit hairman Tyler lock in 84 as well. That's big damn You get a lot of platinum players in this bundle Dante Fowler 80 plus platinum player. Holy shit There's really so many these eyes a Simmons. That's weird. He's an 82 core elite, but in that free pack He's an 83 you get 14 80 plus elite Platinum. Yeah, that's ridiculous I said, I said I'd open only one but I'm opening two because who's gonna stop me the probe platinum elite bundle Let's keep it up. I want to see an 86 plus so my best pull was Jonathan Allen It almost kind of feels like feels like the floor is higher, but the ceiling is more difficult Does that make sense last year at the start of Madden? I was pulling 80 overalls exclusively 80 81 80 81 80 81 then boom might hit like an 88 McCaffrey and be crazy This feels like on average. I'm getting a lot of 82s 83s 84s I haven't seen anything 86 plus yet, which I actually like better. I like the floor being higher It looks like that ceiling is gonna be real hard to hit only pack again What do you got for me? Jacobi Myers Riley Dixon Randy Gregory, right? He's a Bronco now, isn't he Aziz? Oh, July dude Cowboys fumble the bag with this guy You couldn't you cool? I don't want to talk about it. Not even a Cowboys fan. I don't want to talk about it Paramount again 84 March on Lattimore. Yo, he's gonna be a beast, right? Let's take a peek at the stats on Lattimore 83 speed 85 excel. That is a nasty corner to start the game with right there Yonte Johnson chase young. Oh, that's though. You're over Stewart Andre James 81 Dalton Schultz 81 Oh, you saw the Louis Con my fucking goat, dude I haven't seen Jermaine Pratt. Oh, you saw the Louis Con 80 overall He'll be a solid user middle linebacker for for cheap I gotta kind of go slow on these animations. Oh in case I do get the 86 plus highly lock it again Is that 86 plus I have to imagine we'll have a different animation Platinum Karim hunt Oh, why did I think I thought he was gonna be crazy good? I don't know Cameron curl 82 Robbie Bobby Anderson once more All right, this bundle's not as hot. I would love to see that animation But I might have to wait Josh Myers and looks like I'm gonna have to be patient if I want to see the 86 plus 84 Let's see what these are quick selling for I actually haven't checked Kendrick born 781 would quick sell for 13,000 coins Oh, like uh, what about 84? Let's pull an 84 just so I can see come here. Oh, is he fucking invisible? Okay, so do his card are not load is this because he assaulted that guy in Vegas I this is a serious question because you guys remember when um Ray Rice actually Womped his girlfriend. They made him like half back number. Whatever. Is that what they're doing with Khmer here? Probably just not loading Fletcher Cox 83 damn another one Dalton Schultz You're looking a little you're looking a little black there Dalton Schultz the Dalton Schultz I know has a high motor a lot of grit and he's sneaky athletic this dog Schultz Hey, he's swaggy. He's got a lot of athleticism. What do you mean by that? I don't know if I love to date my daughter Layton Van der Ech 82 overall 86 Tristan work Shit oh, and I think I saw the animation change a little bit. There was like some white streaks in there It was very subtle, but I feel like I saw it that quick sounds for 95,000 coins This guy did not expect that at all. Also. I saw Tristan worse. I didn't think he was gonna be nuts Laryn me tonsill 82 gonna hit the balling after this in your honor tonsill All right, so in order of overall we pulled some crazy stuff obviously there's Tristan words Jonathan Allen Eckler Khmerra, so I don't have card art on either of them still I wonder if I just need to refresh my game or something but like on Barry Sanders Paramount Lockett Darius a place game with Jeremy Chen I got to say already looking at the item binder is a million times quicker and more fluid man 22 men 22 item Binder was clunky and slow it kind of felt like you know when you pull out like an old iPod or iPad and you try To play a new game on it And it's just so slow or like trying to play a new Xbox game on the old Xboxes That's what it felt like but this feels really clean very happy about it and did chase young's helmet in this photo It's so sick, and I also have athleticism don't show us wait a second. Are they the same? Let's see if they're the same card though to don't show There's not two players in the league named don't show us right and 83 overall squad deck press got Russell Wilson Lamar Jackson are all our quarterback options. I'm gonna run the deck or no Let's run with the Russ. I think they'll be fun around Russell Wilson. He's on the bronco We're gonna stay in line. He's got Barry Sanders a hat-back Pitman Tyler Lockett the auntie Johnson Don't show set fullback. I wonder okay my serious question. So that's fullback don't show it I think it's thinking it's Eric Ebron at least the card art is do you think all right place your bets right now place your bets right? Now when I run a play with my full back is my full back gonna be white or black. I kind of think it's gonna be white I think he's gonna pop out as Dalton Schultz himself whatever it's hilarious. Let's get it tonsal run You David Andrews Daniel Brunskill and Chris Morris actually a really good offensive line And then defensively Micah Parsons chin Bairman Devin white Lane VanRush the two Cowboys in there It's your name is Marshawn Latimore Darius slay Gilmore Amble Allen ox and chase young when I only have one super star right now Which is Barry Sanders? Um can an 84 even get an ability? Okay? So Russell Wilson can get an ability for anyone worrying about abilities I know that there's not that many new abilities There were some minor tweaks and balancing but other than that nothing crazy as you can see the same X factors You're used to that's huge. Holy shit Thank you. Escape artist is now an actual X factor not ability fuck yes. Escape artist is so busted, bro All right, but I will use it as an X factor. I mean he can't really get anything. That's worth much of a shit I will use recuperation though so that I can scramble around Russell Wilson's got 78 speed 84 throw power 80 plus on all his Accuracies, which is awesome and 84 throw on the run It's a little slower than I expected but it's thrown the run everything's actually really really good See if there's any new half back abilities all the same and all this is the same I won't really know until till there's like a 90 plus overall half back who you can get to tier 2 tier 3 I won't really know let's hop into our first head-to-head batting game, bro We can access our team captain. So let's figure this out. Oh my god Zonka, Zonka's a fucking team captain. All right, pass a 50 plus score. Alright, I gotta unlock my team captain first I'll be quick by the way as I'm getting my team captain That's the animation that white at the end is how you know you got an 85 plus because I don't think it does that on the 80 pluses let's get it 85 Zonka and I can continue to upgrade him because his team captain So I'll always have a solid back on the squad. All right, we're level three head-to-head is unlocked There's already house rules one and done with 20 yard first downs need to utilize your X factors and get value from every Play each play can only be called once. I like that Also, I just realized it said for seasons five wins. Oh, whoa, that's gonna change a lot It said five wins to get to the playoffs and three losses instead of seven and four. Well, that really changes shit, dude Well, that's gonna look a little different this season. All right. Well, I don't know what defenses are good or bad So we're just gonna try things out Micah Parsons I think it's gonna be my user cuz he comes with lurker. Oh, he's gonna go RPO early to get area stony Good tackle though. Lurker on Micah Parsons. I'm very excited about that That is a handoff to Saquon Barkley going down. Oh, he's building his giant Steve team early He's got Barkley could area stony although Lamar Jackson throws that off a little bit cover to let's just cover the small stuff Oh, I see it. I see it. I can't get to it or cannot. Oh, all right first and ten. I See it this time Let's cut across no way Micah. Oh Canaries Tony I'm always interested in how the run game is last year run game is amazing I'm interested to see online with a solid online solid tight ends. How welcome Barry Sanders around here I see some good blocks. Also. Why can I see the zone? He was guarding Why did I just see that on my screen second and two eight yards out the gates for Barry? Let's cut this one up the middle I'm an audible the four verticals and I'm gonna throw this underneath the Barry if he's there He is barely there disease. Oh Jollari came off the edge and pressured me fullback dive to my white slash black Dalton Schultz Right up the middle. Let's go, baby. Hey always a classic. It's a madden classic to run that He's on Quinney pay, but he got slam to the ground B is open I'm mashing back. I kind of like it. We're gonna try and get to the edge hoping he's going all up the middle Oh great blocks. Good joke Barry. Let's go Invasive Barry Sanders the juke is nasty the cuts are a lot faster this year. I'll say that Let's see if the out route in man coverage is still really strong I'm looking for Deontay Johnson here on the left side. Is it there? Holy shit He torched him still learning that passing mechanic, but eight to zero is a nice start for me I want to take a piss. I just got back and he turned the ball over. So maybe maybe I'm not good Maybe this guy just sucks, but I don't mind running the score up. So let's just see how hard we can go here Is that a that I'm looking oh shit run run. All right. I'm bad. Actually. I'm fucking dog water At least he's got the ball back now. Come on Russ. Go get him Russ. Go get him Ross The Russell Wilson is through an interception a cam chance. You know how depressing that is I will at least we got a game on our hands fellas. Where are you gonna go? Where are you gonna go? No way. Damn curious Tony's bill like that, but he's not in the end zone eight to six I think I'm kind of being greedy here. I got to throw my open passes like Barry's wide open right there Let's get it to him. He's got these nasty spin moves nasty Ow Battle of the poverty franchises first and ten wait a minute. Is he there? Oh, oh, oh bad ball Yeah, I really got to get used to this throwing mechanic I was trying to lead him left side outside shoulder, but did not do what I was wanting I think I needed you know what I needed to do there was the free form pass I think I had to lead him way outside of the box. I don't really know though I am blitzing just damn near everyone that I'm on latimore Good hit right here. Come on pyramid. Let's go That's fourth and inches that's first and ten bro. All right, let's see if I can lurk him this time He's gonna go with a slant here on 89 There it is and I'm gonna jump What's that come on Jackson? There we go. He wants to throw this. I know it, but I'm all over it Let's go, oh keep going baby. Oh wait pitch it back. Come on shit Yeah, I got 55 seconds to get back in the end so great lurk right there defense wins championships, baby I gotta work on these throws though I gotta do that free form pass or whatever if I want to I want to lead someone else All right, let's just go a keep it simple. It's not get too weird with the passes Pittman 12 yards I'm not calling a timeout yet by action. Oh, I like this. I like this look for that dig There it is right there. Oh good ball Holy shit, I hit the meter on that throw. That was a tough one. I'm gonna try it right here. I'm gonna try a free form pass Let's just go to Pittman right up there. Whoa, that's so weird All right first in 10, you know what it's not bad, but unless I run five wide four verts, right? Let's see how this sets up. Oh I think B was open. I had an opportunity to throw it, but I missed it. Let's get rid of this ball I still got a timeout. I got eight seconds left dude. Look at Schultz on the back Shot of bounds that was a beautiful route three seconds. Do I have a huge cock? I do this is my first game man 23 I'm not kicking a field goal in it Okay, he has no pass rush right now though. So let's just take our time I'm gonna look for X if he moves. Come on. You got to move though You got a move buddy He's just standing there. Damn. It's my own greedy ass fault. It was fun though. I'm glad I did it eight to six Oh, you can actually make half-time adjustments now. I didn't have Russell Wilson activated that whole time Oh, that's actually huge. So now I can activate him all at half and now I actually have recuperation Russell Wilson bet let's try on a bunch of different run plays and see what sticks stretch was amazing for me last year I'm actually gonna bring this to the opposite side And see if my wide receivers can hold some nasty blocks. Are you kidding switch on? But god Two-point conversion, I'm looking for lock it and we're gonna make this game really tough for him if we can convert this Okay, good move. Oh my god. Good move Wilson Hey, oh wait, what are you doing? Oh, dude, what I do wrong only up by eight now Obviously, I should have kicked the PAT would have been a little bit smarter But I don't really do smart shit around here and everyone already knows that oh Oh Almost three interceptions from Lamar Jackson not having a day here He's gonna go right here. Dude. I was almost certain he was gonna throw that would have been an I&T alright third and 19. Oh Late van der res with two damn he's getting punished for trying to throw it. Oh, he's gone I just want to see the stats, bro That's how you start man 23 baby all right for another incredible season of Madden I hope you guys are too. I can't wait to pump up more content. I got the wheel 2k grand finale coming and then even more heaters I love you boys. Thanks for watching as always
