 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the series that you've probably seen a million times, but none will be as good as mine. Right. See, EA will try and scam me and say this is the first career mode. It's totally not. They used to have Superstar mode back and I think it was like Madden 08, something like that. And then they took it out just so that they could bring it back years later. Very EA of them. Either way, we're gonna hop straight into this. I played it on stream. If you guys were there for that, thanks for being there. It was a blast. It was actually a super, super, super fun mode. The story is pretty badass. Not super excited to see these cut scenes over and over again, but it was really fun. We're gonna build pop-a-meags. Now, this is the most difficult thing in these games because it feels like no matter what I do, I always, the character just looks so stupid. I love that they give you the option to have a receipt. Why would I choose to have my video game character have a receding hair? I'm short wavy with light blonde hair, even though I'm rea- Ooh, look like a pet-a-bop. I'm doing it. I'm doing a handlebar. GG boys. It really doesn't look like me, but I don't know how I could make it look like. Can I give myself a Hitler mustache? Not that I want to. I'm going with the cowboy. All right, back. I'm perfect. I'm beautiful. That's all I want. Hey, don't forget to thank your mom. Never forget. Mike, tell me where you're gonna be siding. Actually, it's why I'm hiding in here. Well, I know you'll make the right choice. And if you need any advice, I'm always here. Okay, cool. Thanks, man. Yeah, anytime. Actually, I've been meaning to run into you. Hello? The decision. Obviously, I'm pissed off that they didn't do any Big Ten teams. I really, really, really wanted to be Michigan State. They don't give you the option in a very EA fashion. LSU or Clemson are what I'm thinking. I'm gonna pull you guys on Twitter. I want to make sure this is a represented decision. The results are in. You guys are having me take the LSU. I knew it'd be LSU. Just a torrential snow in Arlington, Texas. You know how it is. The plan isn't comfortable. We're not sure the new kid could do any of these things. Oh, you think that's a little harsh, Nate? Four years ago, it was a five-star recruit. They had high hopes for this, dude. I don't see something right there. What happened to that trust? Coach, you wanted to see me. Come in. I want you to be the first to know that Marcus Washington decommitted last night. And he's coming here. What? That doesn't make any sense. You said I was gonna be the starter. He's the number one recruit in the country, son. There's no guarantees in college football. I'm sorry. I'm not going anywhere. Bring him in. I'll win the job. Just wait. I would clap my coach's cheeks if he said some shit like that to me. I would decommit, sign with the Crimson Tide and fuck up LSU for four straight years. I don't care if the NFL wants me. I'm staying at Alabama until I die. She does not appear to have lost weight. Hey, babe. Go on in there. It's for players and coaches only. Where is the option to smack the shit out of this thought? I am the... I would say that Alabama is a better rivalry game for LSU, but they don't have Alabama. So I'm gonna play Florida. Yeah, I've got a chip on my shoulder now. That's me. Papa me. Six-foot-five, two-forty-five, black. I know who you are, but where? I'm the quarterback. You're the quarterback, right? Yeah. Don't look so surprised. It's my job to know the roster. I'm Taylor Bennett. I'm working the sidelines tonight. Okay, cool. Nice to meet you. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions? Okay. Okay, I'm just gonna record them. Okay. So we all know your situation tonight, but we really don't know much about you as a quarterback. How would you describe your style of play? Oh. Well, I... Oh, man. Hey, what's up, man? I like to keep the defense guessing. You know, if there's a lane, I'll find it and go. Okay. Now, how about your personality? Or better yet, how would your teammates describe you? How may teammates describe me? Yeah, where you intense, your cutthroat, a great leader, a jokester. Give me something. You know, they'd say I like to keep things loose in the locker room. Football's important, but it doesn't mean you can't have fun. Okay, so a little bit of work hard, play hard, that kind of thing? A little bit of both. Yeah, yeah. Last question. It's an easy one, I promise. Sure. Which quarterback have you modeled your game after? I've always loved Steve Young's ability to turn any play into a positive game, even with defenders hanging off of them. I feel I have that same level of adaptability. Very nice. If you are anything like Young, then you're gonna give defensive coordinators a lot to worry about. Remember, only about 20 million people watching tonight, but at least now they'll have a rough sketch of who's under center. Cool, cool, thank you. Yeah, no worries, I got you. All right, I just talked to Coach. He insists on going with a simplified game plan for you tonight. What do you think? Well, his thinking is we keep it simple, you don't get overwhelmed, and then we rely on the defense to do their part. Hold on, this is a joke. All right, look, Coach just wants to put him in the best position to succeed. No, this ain't high school ball, man. All right, this is the semi-finals. If we go out there and simplify, they're gonna destroy us. Oh, this is crazy, right? Right? Agreed. Coach needs to wake up. I'm ready for this. Forget about him, man. Listen, I don't care how much you played, you're a leader on this team. Leaders, sometimes they have to do what's right, even if they don't like it. Got it, Coach. Yeah. I don't get this thing about me starting in the college football playoffs, because at no point do they tell me that the starting QB is injured or why he's out. They just kind of randomly infer that I'm starting. What's up, bro? Good luck tonight. Thanks. Hey, man, don't listen to the critics. You got all the talent in the world. Just go out there and put on the show. Thanks. Means a lot. All right. They did magic, Mom. So dirty, dude. He looks like a fucking bum. Play all offense. I'm going to do offense only unless my defense really starts to choke. All right, Papamigues, the scrambling QB. Number seven. Let's see what we got. We got a blitz to start us out. Getting some good blocks, and I'm going to hit Randall. Ooh, RB. RB. McGrath, he's got it. A, move to the right. Move to the right. Yes. Streets has got it. That's Isaiah. Spin move is bad in this game. I got to remember that. A, wide, open. Let's go, Isaiah. Streets with a touchdown. I'm just going to lob one to Isaiah. They were saying on that little halftime show that I got to throw some passes to this man. So let's see if that's the case. Let's go. Does it matter how I perform in this game or does it really only matter how I perform in the nady chip? I wonder, but I think if we get a healthy enough lead, I might just sim through a little bit more. No, I can't do that. I got to play this full. All I get B, Trey Hansen. Just catch and run. Let's see it. A, wide, open. Isaiah Streets. Is that a touchdown? Does he have the wheels? Does he have them? I think by myself. Which I could do here, but I want the... Got to set my feet. I always, I always forget to set my feet. I'm so used to Madden1999 overall QVs who do not need to set their feet for that throw. Set my feet. Ah, he's not open though. Set my feet. Ball. That's what happens when you save feet, boys. Papa Meigs with a rope. I feel bad, continuously running slants, but it's working really well. Oh, come on. What a throw. Throw on the run from Papa Meigs. Give me one juke, two jukes. 34 seconds on the clock. Let's go, let's go. Oh, Isaiah Streets. This dude's a god. Holy bonfire that. All right, I called the time out so we could recoup. We got a little bit of time. Oh, right in the pocket, right there. 34 to six, dude, what? They started to come back a little bit because I just decided not to play, but hey, wide open. Oh, that was open. Yeah, you're right, announcer. It's not a great start. Thanks for that fucking great analysis. I'm sending him off field. Papa Meigs is taking the spin. Oh, by himself. Look at the juke, dude. That's why I'm a scrambling. Isaiah Streets. You gotta get another touchdown. Probably shouldn't have even juked on that. Oh, straight, straight. Let's go. Trucked him, oh. Dude, I actually trucked him. That was dope. Game time. LSU 45 points. Every touchdown, either a passing touchdown or a rushing touchdown by Papa Meigs himself. Look at that handlebar mustache. What are you gonna say about that? Why am I dabbing coach? Coach benched my ass for four years. Fuck you, coach. Coach, I've been this good this whole time. You just don't believe in me. I'm really proud of you. Thank you, sir. How's the gutsy performance out there tonight? You took us to a national championship, but nobody, and I mean nobody expected you to. And for what it's worth, I'm really glad you stayed four years ago. Thanks, coach. Yeah, baby, we goin' to the chip. One more game, baby. We got this, man. Football's my life, man. But you gotta stay grounded in what's important. So I got a little surprise for you. Isaiah. Ha-ha. Em, lookin' good, Emily. Oh, and I'm lovin' this hat. Thank you. Oh. Absolutely. Is that magenta? Fuchsia? What color is that? Okay. I bet he'd probably get it off the board, huh? This whole exchange is so cringy. It's so terrible. I don't wanna watch this. Would you want it's main to be purple or pink? Well, these are both tough, but good options. I'm gonna do pink. No question. Definitely pink. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Pink, no question. You see, look, you don't pick from the options given. All right, the game is in the name, off the board. Ha-ha, you got me, dude. You asked me if I wanted a pink or wanted a purple, but it's actually none of them. Ha, you're fucking hilarious. Super. Yeah, this is super terrible. I don't wanna be a part of this. I don't even know who she is. Am I supposed to know who she is? Why am I throwing four touchdowns for this girl? You'll do it. Thank you. Thank you very much. It's great to see you again. It's great to see you. It's nice to meet you, Emily. You too.
