 I had some of the most fun I've ever had playing Madden in a recent video when I went back to Madden 20 Superstar KO and I thought to myself, why stop there? I know how much fun this is. So I'm gonna do a challenge that I used to do all the time and I haven't done in three years. I am going to build the best possible Superstar KO team. Now for anyone unfamiliar, Superstar KO is a game mode that is still in Madden 23, but they've completely sidelined it. You build a team starting with your coach and playbook. I'm gonna play as DJ Khaled's team. Then you get three choices of players. And this right here is exactly what we're looking for. A legendary left end, Ed Tutal Jones. Now the thing is, if I don't get a legendary, I can just reset the draft. I'm gonna keep resetting until we have a fully stacked three legend slash golden ticket squad and then I've gotta go undefeated and steal them from my opponents teams until I end with literally the best possible team. Now the difference in rarities for cards determines how many abilities the card will have. So for example, a rare Alvin Khmer will have his X Factor satellite lit up the entire game and he'll also have one ability. Common Michael Thomas will have double me lit up the entire game, but he won't have any additional abilities. Ultra rares, the purples will have three abilities and legendaries and golden tickets have anywhere from five to 10. Ooh, let's go. This is golden ticket Lamar. He's got brick wall ability. So if anyone's gonna sack him, he will break the tackle. Nothing on the second round though, gotta restart. Last time I tried to do this, it took me two hours and 45 minutes. I'm hoping it's a little quicker this time around. Legendary Troy Palamalu offense, nothing. So far we have not gotten past round one. Maybe I'm getting punished for being such a misogynist. I'm gonna choose the female coach. Unfortunately, this makes your team slower and weaker, although it makes you significantly better in the kitchen. Oh, wait a minute. Don't do it to me. Don't make me be the girl team. Don't give me a full legendary squad right now. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Nope. We're good. Oh, I love this. Jim Brown is so good. Jim Brown, amazing start. Come on, baby. Oh, no, but I'm not city. I can't even run the ball. No. Okay, we're good. Ooh, get the London look, baby. Michael Strayhan, legendary left and good start. Come on, baby. We've never gotten past round two until right now. Andre Reed, we just need one more. A golden ticket or a legendary on the final three. Come on, baby. Come on. Let's go. They're all legends, dude. That's actually crazy. My opponent has golden ticket, TaylorMade. If you beat your opponent in SuperstarKL, you get the option to steal one of their players. It's kind of like a Wheel of Mud episode. You know, I'm not saying they stole it from me. I'm just saying they stole it from me. Also, I'm partnering with LG for sponsoring this portion of the video to bring you the newest addition to my gaming setup, this absolute beauty right here. Now, this beauty right here is the LG QNED Mini LED TV, and this thing is amazing. Now, as you can tell, the picture quality is incredible. It combines a mini LED backlight with quantum dot nano-cell color technology for way more detail in color than a regular LED TV. The QNED Mini LED TV even has an AI processor, which is gonna automatically adjust picture quality and sound to fit your genre. It is pretty amazing for watching my own videos, my absolute favorite part about the QNED TV is just how amazing it is for gaming. Number one, it has AMD FreeSync Premium, which delivers variable refresh rates during gameplay. This is insanely clutch. It allows for the smoothest gameplay possible. I never get sucked out of the game from tearing or ripping. It also features HDMI 2.1 functionality. This is the latest and greatest in tech for higher resolution gameplay. And obviously that's pretty important for me. Overall, the QNED Mini LED TV has been a massive upgrade to my setup, and I'm so grateful I have it. And I'm excited for you guys to check it out too. I highly recommend you hit the link in the top of the description to check this thing out. I'm gonna go Andre Reed across the formation. Looks like he's user D-Line. There's Andre Reed, easy catch. Take a look here at legendary Andre Reed's abilities. So he's got Rackamup, not the best X-Factor, but he's got Armbar, Apprentice, Playmaker, Evasive, Route Tech, Street Specialist, matchup nightmare. I'm just gonna send him deep. Let's see what it looks like. I feel like it might have been possible. Shit, oh, I didn't get that off? That's bad, third and 12. I totally thought I got that off. All right, Andre Reed, we're gonna lean on you here, buddy. Oh, he torched him. What was that ball? Oh, Aaron Donald's got fear monger, that's why. Andre Reed, fourth and 12. We need a big one, buddy. Need a big one? Oh, it's a horrible ball too, yikes. This would suck so bad if we lose here. Now the good thing about Superstar KO, in order for him to advance, he has to score on us. And what does he have? Hey, good defense. Good defense, I see where you're throwing. No way you just made that throw. Superstar KO, there is no such thing as field goals. So if we clamp up here, we'll go into overtime at the very least. He can't throw that. He can't throw any of this, I'm there! Wait, how's it, Patrick? Switch on, switch on, let's go! We're going into fucking overtime already, tug of war. In tug of war, you have five plays to reach the end zone after every play, the end zone gets closer and closer. So you really gotta play perfect, and yikes. Andre Reed's getting bottled up. I'm not getting anything going. I just gotta stay on 87. I can't let him go up there and do some crazy shit on me. Okay, I'm okay with that, I'm okay with that. Gated 12 yards though, nice play by him. Dude, I gotta be able to hit Andre Reed somewhere, right? Andre Reed! Andre Reed! Oh, he was so close! I'm gonna run casino blitz, bro. Yes, good defense. What? Yeah, it falls, just missed the touchdown, holy shit. I just gotta be able to fuck out. The zones are creeping closer and closer. I have to get a pick up here. I have to get some serious yardage here, and we're in so much trouble. I'm just gonna try it. Yes, sir! No, it got broken up by Nickel, Roby Coleman? He doesn't need much at all, dude. We're in so much trouble here. Damn, that sucked. You know what? I'm gonna just say it. Those legends suck. Those are not the legends you want. We're going record breakers, so I have a deep running playbook. Deep running playbook, Marcus Allen. Come on, one more, baby. One more legend, one more legend. Darn it. Mahomes! Legendary Mahomes is insane. He's so good with Bazooka, Haraw Master, Escape Artist, probably the best quarterback in Superstar KO. Whoop, can't use him! This is going to get free safety, Megatron, please, bro. This is the one. Give me one, give me one, give me one! TO! Dude, I might just play this out no matter what. I have fucking TO on offense and Megatron on defense. One more! One more! Whatever I'm playing it out. Dude, this is so nasty I'm playing this out. This team is disgusting. I'm not picking up a quarterback. I'm not taking Lamar there because I want a better quarterback from someone else's team. Now these are some stacked players, like DoubleMe, Terrell Owens, and this Golden Ticket Megatron are so, so good. Oh my God, I can't wait. You know what I really love is how many people are still playing this. This is a three-year-old game now at this point. People are still ripping Superstar KO. That's how good Madden 20 Superstar KO was, man. Take a look at this Megatron. Pick Artist, Tip Drill, Unfakeable, Acrobat, Lurker, Zoned Out, Tackle Supreme. Oh, the whip route! What are we playing? We're playing Madden 23! Megatron mossing Mike Evans. Bet you never heard that before. Terrell Owens, Armbar, Wide Receiver Apprentice, Playmaker Evasive, Red Zone Threat, in post-elite. Let's hit him with a little play action and a little deep bomb, yeah? What the, what? Who's gonna explain that one to me? Let's try that again, no? Except, like, do it properly. Actually, no, I wanna win this game. Let's give it the take one, Bartha. Ooh, ooh, ooh! This game had no fucking physics. This is my favorite part about it, bro. You can literally just float, like changing direction. Look at this shit. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Saquan Barkley, he's only got backfield mismatch, which really isn't that good of an ability here, but he still has first one free on at all times. So he's still gonna break tons of tackles and make nasty jukes and get in the end zone, just like that. We really need to get a legend on this pickup, though. If I can get five legendaries in one rare, I'll be happy. Come on, this is big. This is huge. He didn't have any to steal from. Oh, this is kind of a bomber. I'm gonna go Vaughn Miller. Ooh, my God. My opponent's got Brian Dawkins, Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning looks so young and so white. Oh, my God. And he's got Taylor Mays. Taylor Mays is one of my favorite cards in this game. Although I think that Brian Dawkins has Avalanche. We gotta be careful. Ooh, neither of them have Avalanche on? They might have actually gone in and done balancing. There used to be Avalanche on both of these guys. Let's just go play action. Let's just tap X and let's just pretend like we're good at this game. That's him. Shit! No, man, you dickhead. I deserve everything. Dude, I don't have any defensive players to stop him with. I don't have anybody to use her that's good enough here. Oh, right, I have Megatron. Duh. Is it a run play? That's fine. That ain't going nowhere. Beautiful. We're good, boys. We're good. We're good, we're good, we're good. All right, Megatron, we need a big one. Nothing's open. Nothing's open. Absolutely nothing. Let's go. We have to get a stop. Dude, I wanna win this. Here we go. Here we go. I got everything. I got everything. Courtney? Oh, a foot's out. Good defense. We got this, boys. We got this. I think we're good. We gotta keep sending Von Miller at him. Megatron up top. He's got nothing. He's got absolutely nothing. Who is that even a throw to? I can't even pick it off. Yes! I have no idea what he can see to the game right there. Whatever. I don't care. We gotta win, technically. Offensive mix. So I could take his pain manning. We get Omaha, which is actually dope because I get to see the coverage of his DBs on every single play. Ooh, he's got golden. Oh, I can't take his golden ticket Asian Peterson. I'd love to, but I already have a half back. I don't think it'll give me the choice. Starting out on defense. Don't mind at all. That's Blitz Von Miller. And let's let Megatron do his thing. Oh, geez. He is a scape artist and quick. Holy shit. He's fast. Oh my God. I forgot about a scape artist in this game. Here we go. Yup. Von Miller. No, Von Miller missed. I gotta get there. Ah! Megatron! The nastiest user alive. That was insane. We came back down on that. First and 10. Here we go, baby. Little play action. A little lob up to Terrell Owens. For a bomb! Come on! Jesus! That was insane. That's how you catch a dog, the sheriff. Pick defense. So many monster options, but like Taylor Mays is the best. Taylor Mays is so good. Taylor Mays is so good. We almost pulled it off, but we didn't quite pull it off. Dude, look at his team. He almost did it. Four legendaries, but then Tradavius White threw a wrench in it. Look at L-Way, bro. Just gotta go cover Randy Moss. Shit, I'm not on Randy Moss. Big hit. Oh my God, he's so fast. That Juke was insane. He's gonna go half back. Megatron, shit. Dude, this guy's got the Juke's down. Third and three. Does he run it? That was close, but not quite. I'm gonna go on Taylor Mays now. I'm gonna go on Taylor Mays for the draw. The draw. The draw. Come on! Let's go! What a monster stop! I'll tell you right now, runnin' that shit ever again. Let's go some coverage, Megatron. Yup, fake down, fake down. Go up, go up! Give it to me! Let's go Megatron! Dude, this guy's so fucking good. Okay, cover three. Looks like there's gonna be only one safety on TO though, so I think it's the TO touchdown. Let's just lob it up there and see what TO wants to do with it. Get up, baby! No, fuller. No! Whoa, let me go tackle. Let me go tackle. We gotta go OT, and this guy's pretty good. So this'll be a good OT right here. He's not running the draw play again. Oh, he is. Shit. Shit. I can't believe he ran it again. I just didn't think he'd have the balls to it. He got eight yards. He's in a purple over there, right? Maybe I'll give it a whip route here. I don't think he'll see the whip route. That's his user. Yup, he doesn't. Let's go! TO's got it! Run through him! Ooh, nice broken tackle. Damn, I probably should've used arm bar or like jukebox there though. I kinda forgot how good those are. At least they're mad in 20. I should've done that. I don't think he's got the balls to go with the draw again. He doesn't. He's gonna go moss? Oh, we were right there. So I could hit Barclay underneath. I could hit TO up top. This is cover two. Oh, right there in the middle. Why? Got him! Keenan Allen. Oh, what a throw by the sheriff. Things are looking good right now. He's gotta go deep. I got Maze over here on Randy. I'm following him. He's bombing it up. We got Megatron and Maze. Yes, sir! Not on Megatron, baby. I'm gonna believe in Saquon Barclay to take us to that green landing strip right there, baby. Let's go, Barclay. Good blocks. Edge. Juke inside. So close. He's gotta snap the ball from within the green right now which is super scary for him. He really has to hope that he catches whichever ball he throws here. Wait a minute. We gotta get there, Megatron. He just barely got out of that. Oh, what a play by him. I'm impressed. I just gotta dive for one single yard against Dot City. This is guaranteed. Dot City cannot stop the run. It's well-documented. Let's go! That was an awesome game right there. I don't think I'm ever gonna stop loving Madden 20 Superstar KO. I do wanna come up with some more creative ways to implement this. Maybe I could play Superstar KO in every single Madden. I mean, sadly, I would really just be seeing how much it's deteriorated since. But either way, hey, I love you boys. Thanks for watching as always. I'll see you in the next video. Peace.
