 Team of the Year is absolutely insane. And here's why. Now Madden historically has always dropped Team of the Year in January, but this year they decided to switch it up and wait until all the awards were given out and the Super Bowl MVP was crowned. Now I was impatient waiting for it to drop, but I'm honestly so glad they did this because these cards are a million times better than what they've been in the past and they're also very rare right now. I'll just give you an overview of what's on the auction house. Now the very best player, the MVVP, most valuable virtual player, it's corny as shit. That's the gold 99 Fred Warner. Now the reason he is a limited, but also the cheapest and the highest overall is because there's a bundle in the store that guarantees you get this Fred Warner. He's a six foot three 97 speed middle linebacker. So yeah, there's absolutely no doubt he's the best middle linebacker in the game right now. Now all the other players are more expensive, but they're so cool. There's a 98 George Kittle, 98 Pat Sertan, 98 Creed Humphrey, Josh Allen, Travis Kelsey, Max Crosby, Kyle Juicy Juice, AJ Brown, Jalen Ramsey, Justin Jefferson should be awesome for Wheel-A-Mut, Make-Up Fits Patrick, Saus Gardner also amazing for Wheel-A-Mut, Micah Parsons also amazing for Wheel-A-Mut and there's even a Jason Kelsey, which is amazing for Wheel-A-Mut, but Jason Kelsey is not on the auction house right now. Regardless, I'm not on my Wheel-A-Mut team so it doesn't matter. So there's the limited Fred Warner and there's the 98's, right? Well in the past, there's also been a training pack in the store which lets you get a team of the year player. That is non-existent this year. The only way you can get team of the year packs, get ready for this big shocker is by spending real money. There also is a team of the year solo from the team of the week solos, which you can exchange for a free team of the year player, but if you missed out on that, this is your only option. It's very EA like. I feel like I got bent over in a giant black bill though, shoved up my ass so. Hey yo, what the fuck? About how EA makes me feel, but of course I'm gonna open all of these. It should be awesome. I don't recommend you do it yourself. Just enjoy the video and save your money. So there's this bundle right here, which guarantees Fred Warner. You get two 92 plus elite players and 10 90 plus. Is there a chance that one of my 90 plus elite players is a team of the year? Maybe? I don't know. It looks like the 90 plus overall elite player gives a 6% chance at a 95 plus. So with 10 of those, we have pretty good odds. The 92 plus has a 10% at a 96 or better. And obviously the 99 Fred Warner gets one 99 Fred Warner. I am however gonna start out with the 98 overall team of the year fantasy pack. This is one from a group of three 98 overall team of the year players consisting of one offense, one defense and one specialist. So I only get to choose one out of those three and I don't get to choose what three I'm looking at. So this is actually gonna be a really tough decision. The animation, the most important. Oh, it's so mid. Ooh, 98 lane Johnson. That's probably a really good one. That's our offense pull. Animation is mid. I'm sorry. It's kind of dope. Like a... Oh, I kind of want sauce. I think sauce might be the best pull. I have to imagine he is. And Tommy Townsend, Tommy Townsend. I'm sorry, man. I just can't, I can't do it. We'll go 98 overall sauce gardener for sure. All right. So we start out with a 98 overall sauce gardener. Next, I'm gonna do the 99. Honestly, now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn't have done this bundle. I could have just bought him out of the auction house, but I'm interested to see if it's possible to pull a team of the year player in just one of these 90 plus elite packs. So hopefully we get something. Our first one is 90 overall Roquan Smith. Second player is a harvest player. Okay, we went most feared harvest. JC Horan, now take me to Christmas. Most feared harvest now Christmas. AKA, I might be really happy with that. A 94 PS two. That's a good pull right there. Okay, fourth one is a flashback player. Who we got? Oh, there's some good flashbacks. I was hoping for something legit right there. Fourth isn't all too great. The fifth is an ultimate legend. 91 crown. Well, nothing too special. Our sixth is a zero chill player, probably a 90 overall free safety Derek Henry. Sure. Gable move and seventh here is a legends player. It's in 94 Kevin Green solid. The only problem is I like getting the training from these higher overall players, but there's no team of the year training pack. So I could get all the training in the world. It wouldn't get me a team of your player. Another harvest player, hopefully a 93. It's a 90 Mari Cooper. I don't know, man. These are kind of mad. 91 Donovan Smith. And then of course we get the gold 99 MVP Fred Warner. Same animation for him. This card is disgusting though. So I am really excited that he's even got a little glitch animation on the card. He's a limited. So he guarantees the quick sell for 350K. And of course we do have the 92 plus elite player. Let's see what this one's. Oh, we have two of these and I get a 92 most feared. That's a bummer. They're when James and our final 92 plus, the highest we got was a 94. It's an AK and it's 93 cheetah. Damn. All right. Now I'm going to do the 98 overall team of the year bundle. I'm just hoping I can get a really cool team of the year player. Excuse me. A bunch of pro elite packs and then the team of the year fantasy as well. Pro elites got a 92 K Vantibido in it. Good start. Michael Carter, Robert Woods, Sam Mills. All right. 88 Austin Echelir, Jake Bailey, Gabe Davis, Chris McAllister. I need the team of the years, baby. It's all about the team of the years here. McAllister again. Like a player here. Gilmore, Christian Fulter. I'll take it. I really want to see a team of the year player. Ooh, that's not team of the year. It's a dope animation for an 88 overall. Jordan Whitehead, Kai Becht and Marlon Humphrey. Tressway. Ooh. Oh my God. It's the fantasy pack. Ooh, and I got Tyreequate. That's fire. Oh, that's a great pull to get out of this. He's got actually 99 speeds. Straight 99 speed. Fast as fuck, boy. Wow. I thought this was a pro elite pack. I was freaking out when I saw that animation. Ooh, and I got Sartan who's probably amazing too. And our specialist is 98 overall, Justin Tucker. What a sick pack. This is an obvious pick for me though. We got a 99 speed wide receiver. I'm going with Tyreequil. It's kind of annoying how rare these cards are, but it's kind of cool too, you know? And technically the training variety pack could have Fred Warner in it. So I'm doing one of them and I get 82-inch more. So all right, I'm quitting. I'm quitting right there. I'm not going down this rabbit hole. If I look at my best possible team, it's absolutely disgusting. We've got Tyreequil back with his former quarterback, Super Bowl MVP, Patrick Mahomes. I definitely need the team of the year halfback. Who's the team of the year halfback? Also a huge thank you to AirUp for continuing to sponsor my videos. You're wondering what I have going on here and for good reason. AirUp is an entirely new drinking system. It's kind of crazy to think about, but a majority of what we taste actually comes from our smell. And AirUp figured out a way to leverage that to make water taste amazing without actually adding anything to it. So the steps are simple. You fill up your AirUp water bottle with water. You pop on a flavor pot. This is the orange vanilla swirl pot I've got on there right now. Pull it up to activate. Then sip. And with each sip, air bubbles carrying scent from the pod, travel through the straw into your mouth where your brain perceives the scent as flavor. I know you didn't sign up for a science lesson today, but I wanted to show you guys why AirUp is so cool and why I'm excited to continue to work with them. And right now they're running an awesome promotion with the favorite five pack, which includes all these amazing flavors like wild berry, peach, watermelon, raspberry lemon, and the vanilla swirl I got on here. So you can receive one free favorite five pack with the purchase of any starter set when you use the code freefavefive. So to check out AirUp, click the link in the top of the description and make sure to use that code freefavefive to get the free variety pack with your purchase of the starter set. A huge thank you to AirUp for sponsoring today's video, guys. Enjoy the rest. Aaron Jones, Eckler, Hines, or McAfrey. I feel like I like McAfrey the best, but Austin Eckler is such a savage. All right, listen, Christian McAfrey might be the best, probably is, but I never get to use an Austin Eckler card, man, especially not a 98 overall version. I've used a lot of McAfrey cards. We're going with the five foot 10, 200 pound, 97 speed, 97 Excel, follows me on Instagram. Austin Eckler, whoo, undrafted free agent. That's our new hat bag right there. Let's go. What a monster. I haven't even looked at all the insane abilities these guys can get yet either. Let's throw something at him. He has to get insane free abilities, right? So to starters, there's running back, apprentice, backfield, mismatch, and grab and go. Now I don't need running back apprentice because my quarterback has hot round master, but backfield mismatch to run better routes and catch better against linebackers. We'll start there for one AP. We also could get Playmaker. Ooh, that would actually be kind of good. Route tech is nice too. And then short out or short in elite. Dude, I've never used Playmaker. Immediate and precise reaction to Playmaker inputs. I believe that's when, you know, when you're rolling out as a quarterback and you hit the right stick and the players will move in that direction, the closest player to you will move in that direction. I think that's what that is. I'm gonna go Playmaker because I've literally never used it in my whole life. I play Madden for a living and I have never used Playmaker. And of course I'll give him freight train as well. What about Tyree Q? What kind of abilities do you get? I'll give him double me, because it's that good. Even though he's short, it's that good. Get short out elite, grab and go in deep in elite. I'm actually gonna give him deep in elite. Use that all too often, let's try it. Come on, Madden. I just put an ability on a player. You don't have to lag like this, man. They didn't even put the ability on him. Come on, you got this. Come on, buddy. Come on, Madden. Come on, Madden. I just wanna put an ability on my player to basic fucking aspect of the game. Oh, now for the free abilities. There's Playmaker once again, short in, deep out, or human joystick. Human joystick's kinda overrated, especially now that you have the hard cut mechanic. I just don't feel like that's as important as it used to be. I will go short in elite though to beat man coverage really well. Dude, 99 speed was short in elite. That's how you beat man coverage. Beautiful. Dude, this is an insane amount of lag. Like this is an inexcusable amount of lag. All right, now what does Fred Warner get? I'm hoping you get Lurker. You have to get Lurker for free. All right, he gets Lurker for free, but he also gets Crusher for free. I love Crusher. Oh, he gets Film Study for two and Forcer for zero. This card is nasty. I don't, I've never ran Film Study. I go on Forcer for zero and Lurker for zero and just go full budget, Fred Warner. Unless I could get Crusher right here. Crusher for two? I just have to. It's such a bargain. Crusher and Enforcer. So heavy ball carrier fatigue on hit sticks and guaranteed hit sticks. That's a beautiful thing. And Saus Gardner. Chuck out outside shade pick artist and on the ball. I'm gonna go pick artist in the fourth slot. And in this fifth slot right here, I'll take a one AP Acrobat. Damn. No discount on deep out zone KO though. That's interesting. You usually get a discount for that ability. All right, beautiful. We got some team of the year monsters on this squad. Let's try and go off with them right here. Top three's got the Holmes, Fred Warner and Tyree Kill. And he's got Achieve's theme team. So this should be awesome. He's got Leon Sandcastle back there at halfback. He actually just handed off to him and Leon's gonna go down. I think, yes he does. Play action. He's looking maybe right here up through the middle. Goes Kenny Clark. It's fourth and 15. He's got a punt. Let's go. Tyree Kill is our return man. And he's got team of the year Tommy Townsend at the Bunner. Come on baby. Oh wow. What a... That was a punt though. But we still got some yards out of it. All right, first and 10. He just leaves the halfback wide open. Wait, but who is this? You're not Austin Eckler. First and 10. We're gonna run the ball to Eckler. We both have got Chief SUNY's on. This is, my eyeballs hurt, but I'm trying here. All right, go a little play action. I think Kiddles got him. He does, great route kill. All right, first and 10. Let's see what Tyree Kill does here. Oh, he's in man coverage. I'm throwing it. I'm throwing it. Go Tyree, go Tyree. Oh, it was such a perfect ball. Such a good catch. It was just a little too deep. All right, second and 10. Let's see what he does here. Can go a little play action. I see Tyree. Oh, damn. Let's hope and I could rifle that in there. Third and 10. We're gonna motion Tyree over and try and burn him on this deep corner. Let's see if it gets him. Is he in man? Is he in zone? What's he in? Oh, Tyree. Tyree. What? Perfect route, perfect accuracy. What is it? What is he too short? What the fuck was that? Oh, that was so annoying. Wow. All right. Okay, well that's a bummer. I'm just gonna try it again. I'm gonna try another one to the man. Okay, he's open again. He was not open that time. That one was covered. Darn. Wow, that's so annoying. What a perfect throw, Mahomes. I was recording a video the other day and I made Jamar Chase like five foot five and a lot of times they would just miss the throw. Like it was almost like he was too short or something. I wonder if Tyree caused that problem. She's kind of fucked up because that's clearly not the case in real life. But all right, let's send a heater. Let's go get the QB. Ooh, good play. Goes for the juke, gets rocked. Not having any of it. First and 10. He sends one. I'm on both of these. Nice play. Another Valdez scantling though. Damn, hoping to light him up. First and 10, he's gonna go play action. He's gonna get rocked. Let's go. Second and 16. All right, let's see what we got. Kelsey up the seam again. Yup. Ooh, nice route. Hey, he's hitting his Tyree kill though. Let's see if he runs this football. Look at Randy or Slytherin. Ooh, play action, but we're on the QB. Let's go. Fourth and 10. Does he punt it again? Wow, he really is gonna punt it again. Gonna get Sauce Gardener back there. This guy and his punt dots, man. Holy shit. Dude, that was almost the most elite punt in the world. Oh, he almost grabbed it at the one again, but not this time. All right, first and 10. Let's see if we can get the game to work for us this time. I'm gonna hit George Kittle right in the middle. Beautiful throw. Ooh, Tyree kill and press coverage. Let's see if that's as good as I'm hoping it is. Ooh, but Echler, no. Echler was wide open. He just got a lot of heat on me there. I'm gonna try and angle route out of Echler. See if we get some timing. Oh, we got time. We got time. I'll just let Echler set up. Oh, no, no, no. Keep running your route, buddy. I'm gonna try this playmaker thing with Echler. I'm gonna send everybody. Echler's gonna be by himself, and I'm gonna playmaker him. Ooh, that is kinda nice. I did only just get three yards, but I like that. All right, I think we can get this. There's a lot of ways we can get this. Let's get it with Tony G here. Yes, sir. Hey, good catch. Let's look at Echler again. I'm gonna try him out the backfield. Nice ball. Go, Echler, go. Austin Echler to the edge. Nice work. All right, first and 10. What's he gonna go for here? Ooh, Echler over the top. Come on, baby. Oh, castle. Over prime time. Dude, what a throw. Let's get Tyree kill on the two point. Oh, he sees it. Oh, he ran straight through that. We still got it. Whoo, I'll take it. I'll take it, I'll take it. Look at this, dude. Look at his user right there. He stuttered for a second. That's all, man. And one second of hesitation got him. Eight to zero. Austin Echler for the touchdown. Tyree kill for the two point. Now we gotta get a lurk with Fred Warner and I will be so happy with our team in the year squad. All right, Warner, he is in five wide. He's not having any of my shit. Let's see what he's got here. He almost just got picked off. Send in a heater. Come on, let's get to the QB, baby. We know he'll punt. Hey! That was my moment. Oh, that was my interception with Fred Warner. I missed it. Uh-oh, I'm on Kenny Clark. Not the guy I wanna be on right now. And Juju goes for seven yards. He gets out of bounds too, so he stopped the clock there. That was well played. All right, if I can get to the quarterback once again, I think we'll be all right here. We gotta get this. We gotta get this. I'm there, I'm there. Oh, I'm there. Oh, nice ball. He calls the time out. He's not quite in scoring range, but he's so close. He'll cover my hook. Yup, go get him. Go get him. I'm on everything. I'm on everything. No, not quite. What a play. Oh my God, what a play. That was nasty. Not only did he catch him, but he broke the tackle. Oh, he's gotta get the two point though. This is huge, this is huge. Does he run the ball? No. He's just looking across. Let's go. Massive defensive play from Jedevi and Clowney. That was huge. All right, he's playing everybody deep and he's on Clark. I think I could hit Tyreek Hill. That's what I'm thinking. I'm going Tyreek. Yup, Tyreek. Ooh, all right. You know, I did just throw into quad coverage. I wouldn't call that the smartest play right there. The prevent defense kind of elite right there. I just want field goal range. Tyreek Hill corner route. That's all we need. Just a simple corner route, right? Yup. Great catch. All right, you know what? He caught that one. He didn't give me that weird animation. So that's a good start. Is this zone? This is zone. This is straight up zone. I just need to throw this right here. Get down. Get down, somebody touch him. Time out. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Five seconds on the 49. I can't believe he went zone there. What does he go here now? Oh, he's back to prevent. I'm going. I'm going Tyreek corner route. Ah, shit. He left Kelsey, but there's no time left. We got a pitch. The hook and ladder. That was actually so sick. It just didn't work. Did he play that so well? I should have thrown Kelsey earlier. Hope I got tagged. They call the timeout. Whatever. Hey, it's eight to six. I got a two point lead and I get the ball here. So I feel all right anyway. All right, my goal for this drive is to establish the run. And that's a great place to start. Little hard cut on the user for five yards. Great place to start. I hate that they keep subbing Echler out. Why do they keep doing that? Tyreek Hill single coverage. Just burn him. Burn. Oh, that's so frustrating to see. Oh, we had that. What? What the fuck? I got to go into my depth chart and move Terrell Davis out of some fucking the 18th string running back bullshit position that EA makes you fucking mess with because they're frauds. Why would I ever want that? Whatever. Echler's in now. He should be in no matter what. All right. Third and five. I smell Echler. A strong, strong catch. That did not look like it was going to be there. I'm going to try that again, dude. That looks so good. Let me see if we can get that open again. Oh my God, he fucking lit him. Oh, he torched him. He ruined it. A spin. Oh my God. Oh my God. That almost went all the way. This Echler's running the meanest routes, bro. He's destroying that linebacker. Look at that separation. That's Justin Houston trying to cover Echler there. Let's see if he goes to it. Nope. He just said, fucking, I want to get lined up. That's what he said. I want to get dotted up right now. That's what my opponent said. So I will know how to run the same thing. Works for me. Like you cut, G. Shit. Shit. He got home. I'm going to block. Gentry, I'm going to do Echler again. Ooh, big blitz. There's Echler! Spin! Oh shit. Nice tackle. This spin didn't work twice. I could have tried a lot of different things. Dude, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, man. He cannot hang right now. He can't hang! Get in there! I'm putting this game away right now. Oh wait, no. A PAT, and I put it away. It's a two-possession game with a PAT. Now I'm going for two. I'm a psycho. I'm going for two anyway. They can't stop me. They can't stop me. I hate this game. How have I not completed two perfect accuracy passes? Whatever. I deserve that. Guys, I fully deserve that because I just went for two when I could have just kicked a PAT, but I'm gonna win the game anyway, so it doesn't matter. First and 10. Ooh, he threw a haywire one. He just barely got that through. All right, second and sixth. I'm going for the QB here. I've got you in my sights. Oh, Matthew Judon! It's third and 16. Huge play right there. All right, now we just clamp up. Now we just clamp up. Now we just clamp up. I see him. I see everything. Bojack! Got him! Jackson, that might be all she wrote. We play smart here. That's the ball game. I'm sending Tyree kill to the end zone. Let's see what happens. Dude, why is Zach's entry running a clean route out the backfield, man? No complaints here. All right, let's see what he thinks about Tyree kill here. Oh, Tyreek! Tyreek! Oh! Shit, shit, shit, I joked on accident. Oh, I could have just had a touchdown. What a snag from Tyree kill. Using that 99 speed, but I goofed it. I'm so mad at myself. First and 10, let's see where he goes. I think Tyree got him again. He did. The stationary spin, because I'm just fucking mashing buttons. First and goal. Oh, Tyree's got double me lit up. I'm going to motion de-hop over. Let's see if he follows. De-hop! Tyree! Oh my God, he torched it. He torched him off the line and then snagged on his head. Double me activated. Let's go. Awesome game. Hey, like I said, team of the year is insane. I hope you guys can get your hands on some team of the year players and I hope you enjoyed this video. I love you guys. I'll see you in the next one. Peace out.
