 Always massive episode today and a lot to talk about number one We are four in one meaning if I get a win today We've secured a playoff birth and hopefully unlike the Chargers Will actually secure a dub in the playoffs. I am dead inside I'm so I don't know why the Chargers just caught a stray Honestly, I don't know why I said that so many teams have lost. Why am I talking shit about the Chargers? I don't know there are a few things I want to talk to you guys about though Obviously our offense is crazy good other than our lackluster quarterback and I always run into this problem in Madden I do get a lot of comments and I'm sure you guys watch. I don't play meta There's two reasons I don't play meta number one. I don't think it's very fun to watch number two I think people who play meta and they get really into the competitive side of Madden They hate the game and if I'm gonna be honest the only reason I really make these videos is cuz I love making them for You guys I love the team building in the wheel of mud But it's not like I have any desire to be even remotely competitive in Madden The problem is it's tough to win games when you don't play meta There's never gonna be a point where I'm gonna try and play like the pro players or really try and be competitive But there is a comment that I've seen so much that I finally need to actually suck it up and attempt to get and that is One of two abilities set feet lead or pass lead elite now in the past the ability gunslinger Operated the same way these two abilities work You needed gunslinger on your quarterbacks because it'd give you a faster throw animation and a faster bullet velocity However, that is no longer the case gunslinger only increases your throwing animation It does not increase the velocity of the ball Whereas pass lead elite and set feet lead do increase the velocity of the ball from everyone I've talked to from every comment. I've seen these two abilities either set feet lead or pass lead lead are absolutely crucial Absolutely necessary if you want to play Madden another ability that is super important that I haven't been using a lot of is fearless One of the most meta abilities on defense is under pressure It's why my homes through some interceptions in some pretty crucial games Somebody's got a 96 overall detacker with under pressure and it makes my homes throw the ball Hey, why now in my personal opinion the fact that you have to put abilities on players to make them viable is so stupid I don't know who at EA's idea this was but why could Patrick Mahomes not just throw a ball like Patrick Mahomes normally throws a ball Why do I got to put all these jank ass random abilities on him to make Patrick Mahomes throw a fast football? I can see with my own two eyes that Patrick Mahomes in real life throws a fast football But regardless my goal for this team heading into the playoffs is to get a quarterback who gets set feet lead or pass lead elite So that I can start messing around with how good that ability is so for those of you who watch me and love this channel I love you too. I make these videos for you I'm gonna try it up my gameplay quality, but there is a zero percent chance I'm ever running the meta bullshit that everybody else runs touch grass That's my opinion if you want me to run that go touch grass go outside see what the Sun feels like hopefully It'll get sunburnt from the 30 seconds you just spent outside for the first time in two and a half years So that's where we're out with this team another thing I did is I switched up some abilities according to some stuff I saw as well so Herman Moore his abilities are the same deep-out elite and short in elite TJ Hawkinson has tight and apprentice in deep-out elite, but on my old line I switched some things up Quinn Nelson used to have post up for two AP I took that off because Marshall Yanda gets insane abilities now Marshall Yanda was a team wheel jackpot But at the time power up and all the legends options weren't available So I just grabbed the 96 but I went through and actually gave him those upgrades The only difference it made was his abilities. He gets nasty streak for zero AP completely free Which is an awesome guard ability and he gets post up for one AP So now every single player on my offensive line has an ability. It's really incredible How good of an offensive line we built edge protectors on the edge nasty streak on both guards nasty streak on my center Identifier in post up on center right guard. That's crazy. So that does fill out our 12 AP and keep in mind If I do get a quarterback who gets set feet lead We're gonna have to switch all of this around because set feet lead is gonna be more expensive than the one AP I have on quick draw 90 over all my homes right now, but I'm sure we'll make it work Earl Campbell's been great the only sad thing about Earl Campbell is they just came out with this AJ Dylan quad father card It's the best hatback. I've literally ever used. I know I say those exaggerated statements a lot But this AJ Dylan gets freight train. He never loses it. It's basically Madden 20 Eric Dickerson It's so insane. So maybe next season we can pick them up But for now Earl Campbell has been amazing. So I'm not gonna be a baby about it Expensively, I haven't really switched up anything. There are meta things I could do with defense But not with the current players I have as far as the meta goes my defense is the most dog shit defense You'll ever see the meta is man coverage blitz. I'm sure you guys know that people just buy, you know 96 overalls at every position they run man coverage and kind of pray that nobody gets That's a dumb down version of the meta, but that's kind of what it is Oh, so did you guys know meta is an acronym? I had no idea meta stands for most effective tactics available Another acronym for meta is NSG never seen grass. I haven't even seen it let alone touched it I haven't even seen it. Don't even know what it looks like. I'm only kidding either way That's my outlook for today's episode. I'm gonna try and up the quality a little bit And it's a pretty important time because at this point in the Madden cycle Everybody's gonna have a God squad. All right our first wheel spin if we can turn this into a quarterback That would be the best case scenario team wheel jackpot. Okay, that could totally be a quarterback It just depends on what team I'm gonna get here. All right, so we get any single player, but they must come from the No way, that's gonna be Ravens again No way, okay, that is oh my god or is a Lamar. Oh my god Okay, so last time I got this team wheel jackpot the only awesome Raven available was Marshall Yanda So I got Ravens last time on the team will jackpot. I get it again here And there's a 96 Lamar this time around Wow that that is spectacular dude Lamar just got a very high end top tier quarterback I don't know if he's the best in the game, but he's a 96 overall big trust. Oh wait. It's not even under Lamar It's under big trust dude. His ability is sick too. I love it He starts the game with trust on so he can't fumble as a result of a tackle It's kind of circumstantial. It's pretty hard to scramble this year But holy shit Lamar Jackson big trust. He should get set feet lead I assume he gets set feet lead. It might even be one of his free abilities Lamar Jackson big trust. Let's go I'm looking a little skim on coins though. I'm gonna have to transfer some coins over. I have to use my coin sponsor instant Madden coins code MMG for 10% off actually though If you want to buy coins go to instant madden coins calm way better deal than EA you can buy players or coins I recommend buying limited players and quick-selling them so you don't get banned code MMG 10% off By the way, thank you guys for sitting through so many of my dog shit ad reads I know it's annoying, but you guys give me the ability to hire some amazing people hire some of my best friends hire My amazing editors and live a pretty awesome life. So I appreciate you guys for that Well asking you shall receive we talked all about a quarterback and here we are with Lamar Jackson big trust I just got to see what abilities he gets. He is always improviser. Thank God I thought they're gonna make him a scrambler quarterback scrambling QBs do not get the best abilities But improvisers tend to get really good abilities. Oh, oh, oh, okay, so this is huge one AP fearless I was just talking about that ability I think that's kind of mandatory that I go fearless hot row master for two AP on Lamar is pretty awesome I'm gonna go fearless for one AP damn. They thought everything with this guy. This car is Nasty, so you really could you could make him a scrambler like you could go fast break evasive or gutsy scrambler It should be a weirdo, but set feet lead and fearless three AP He probably already has a pretty nasty release if I wanted to run gunslinger. I could give him an insane release But that's six AP. I don't think I got that. I already got to use one AP on big trust starts on You can't fumble as a result of a tackle. We're gonna actually see me doing some significant scrambling this season At least for the rest of this run. All right, so our first will spend awesome But I currently have no true middle linebackers and my corners are very weak So if I get upgraded either of those I'd be very happy campus heroes top 10. Oh, this could be really good I think there is a Jason Vera. I just have to hope they're on the auction house Here's how this one's gonna work I go auction house I go program campus hero and I can choose out of the top 10 that are on the auction house But I sort by time remaining the top 10 is Daniel Hunter Daniel Hunter Bruce Irvin Thomas Davis buyers. Oh, he's there. He's there. He's there. Oh, I just got bailed out Okay, first thing we gotta decide is he our best option. I think he is Thomas Davis is really nice But I already have him Jason Varrett case those coverage is a really good But he's a little small what are what ability does he get he gets one AP deep out zone zero AP pick artists So completely free and he's pretty nasty, dude I'm just worried of him getting lost it may be time to bench sauce gardener until sauce gardener gets a new card Though by the time you're watching this video, I highly doubt sauce gardener's gotten his new card yet But as of right now, he definitely doesn't have it Oh kudos been really good Ramsey's been solid sauce. Here's the only thing about sauce man I mean look at this look at the comparison here six three. I mean that is really important But does it justify six speed for acceleration eight play rec five man coverage to zone coverage? I don't think so so Varrett can get free pick artist I wonder if I just run that deep out zone KO is a really good ability though I'm gonna run deep out zone KO and we're just gonna see how that plays literally the only thing I want right now is a linebacker to get juniors say out out of this lineup would be an absolute blessing our wheelspin Playoffs team wheel. Oh it has potential. This would be tough though. We go until we find a playoffs Steelers no Seahawks will definitely have somebody because they made it The Seattle Seahawks are they gonna have a linebacker though? I think the answer there is definitely gonna be no time Well, they don't have a lot of great options But what they do have is a 90 overall Marquise Goodwin and as you can see on my offense I still don't have a wide receiver three Marquise Goodwin is a 90 overall. He has 93 speed. He's not that bad He gets deep out elite for one AP. I'm probably not gonna use that item I probably won't use any abilities on him But he will be a better slot receiver than George Kittle so not the best wheel spin But I did get to 96 overalls already. So I'm okay with this 90 overall Marquise Goodwin We're a hard 91 overall with no kicker. No middle linebackers No detackle to a bummy left end, but everything else is very viable. Everything else can play That just leaves the challenge wheel a loss. We are 4-in-1. So we could afford a loss Completing this with salvage a player in the event of a loss Damn 350 plus 350 plus yards passing. It is possible I've done it before but it requires a lot. It requires a back-and-forth lots of scoring and no range Quit so we'll see little swole got a 98 overall T. Y. Hilton He's got the Carmichael and there's our top three That's day of two players from today's episode make our top three right there Oh juniors say I was the user is just so shit. Do not have lurker on Micah Parsons This formation just isn't it for me right now. Come on. Come on. Oh good throw good hit This might be a run. I'm bringing DeMar down. It is it is 86 overall safety so damn good ain't that shit up. All right, this is up. This is a pass We can guess pass here. We're in a good position here. Okay throws underneath gets rocked I'm gonna put Mod of weekend on a QB spy so that he can't check down over the middle. Oh Great pass lead. All right. I'm gonna send a blitz. Whoa. I have no abilities on Micah send the blitz. He goes play action He's gonna check it down Come on. Come on. Come on. Oh, he's too. He's too calm and collected. He won't do anything stupid For you caught that I mean that is it. That's a 97 overall CD lamb. He's a beast, but I'm shocked I think it's a handoff now. It's not He's got nothing though He's got nothing a Tito Agbandia the silver picks up the sack there I don't know if he really runs the ball here. He does little stretch to the right side bottled up That's great quick pass. He gets in the end zone a lot of plays a slow drive But a nice drive ten play three-minute twenty-second drive big trust. Who's he got there in the middle? That's lit up Oh, he's got the Jamal Adams that starts with avalanche if he gets a downhill hit stick I'm gonna fumble. So let's stay away from him. Oh go Oh, I guess I got three yards on that simple. Oh, no, no See that's that Jamal Adams. Let's send Earl Campbell out to the right and I'm just gonna scramble or potentially scramble I'm not gonna pre-determine it, but oh That was dumb See what I mean, bro. I don't got the patience. Oh, let's run this ball. Did we get such a good offensive line? Max we got really good blocks downfield, but everything else was not very good right there looking at Hawkins in if he's there Oh, he is hi ball. Let's go, baby Damn that ball does come out a lot quicker with set feet lead. I think this could be there. Damn beauty Arke's good one is just wide open over there Arrow Carmichael was usered on him, but he was just a little too far away to cover that. Oh, why are you so open Justin Jefferson? I got rocked for it. I paid the price. I'm gonna try and run this right side. I'd love to get Earl Campbell a touchdown right here. Oh Nice cutback, but it's not enough. It did give me three. I'm getting three yards every run play. I'll say that I'm gonna go right back to it on this right side That's Layer that that offensive line is nasty. I really we really spent a lot of money on that old line We get Earl Campbell a touchdown, which is huge. So now he's got another upgrade I give ball a half three timeouts in a minute 40 worst-case scenario is he scores with no time off. That's worst-case scenario It's got a play action and I don't Why did Paul Amado flow over that was so glitchy. I was just like a glitch play go watch Paul Amado there Paul Amado is on a deep zone and he just kind of ignored the guy coming up the middle of it It's not the worst-case scenario though because the worst-case scenario is he scores with no time left this PA post shot play I've been liking this recently. He's on prez. I can lead Hawkinson down and make a nice catch here Gotta be aware of the time. Let's try and snap this when he's not. Yup. He's on a delinemen. That's huge I can throw over the middle. Yup That's why identifiers so nice. He's trying to make all those adjustments down there He gets caught on a delinemen being kind of ice him up for a deep one This is a tough ball Kiddles gonna snag it. Oh my god Kiddles. Nice work. Let's go know how to wow I'm literally just running PA post shots. Please beautiful. Fuck it. Let's go Jay Jedis. Oh He's trying to just run the main coverage on me, but we're catching everything right now Oh, I'm gonna try and scramble Campbell able to get 350 plus passing yards. We got a lot right now I don't know how many we got right now, but we got a lot We score with 19 seconds. He's got two timeouts. I just absolutely cannot let him do that play He just did oh, I feel like such a dickhead, but I feel like I kind of have to do this Huh, I have to actually sky kick it to the fullback. I am everything. I am everything I hate right now But I'm gonna do it See now that's meta that is the most effective tactic available, but it's just so dumb. It's just so dumb Why does this look like a run? Oh It's a oh nice play Keep them in bounds. Maybe Okay in bounds. He only got a couple yards. I think this is that same play he ran earlier Oh my god, I just gotten off sides So he declines it. He's on the 44. Can he hit this 61 yard field goal? That's fine. Offense has played great. My defense is actually kind of crumbling right now. My offense has been so good I can't stop him on defense. We played this perfectly though. It's 14 to 14 I get the ball here. So that's an additional possession for us Brad Maher on the kick He's two for two on PATs today. It's kind of crazy fun fact I pronounce my ma like my last name is my name is Matt Maher People call me Papa Meigs because Meigs is my nickname because my last name looks like meager, but it's Maher So me and Brad Maher technically have the same last name and quite frankly I think I could have done better than 0 for 4 on PATs. Is this man coverage now? I'm gonna send Hawkinson underneath this Yeah, it is man coverage, but that guy who's on Hawkinson has to come all the way across the field to go get that He knows He just had a bad angle man You gotta take a better angle than that if you're the user. I'm gonna send Campbell out to the right side. Oh kiddos open Horrible ball. Where the fuck are you throwing that? How did that happen? Did he just get bumped her? That was nowhere near where George Kittle was George Kittle never could have caught that. That's a big mistake now This game could be this game could get spooky now. He's already in a really good position to score It's gonna get rocked here though 14-14 still very winnable Shit, I didn't get it off. I tried to throw it away I just got a safety. I was gonna throw Campbell on the playmaker, but he stepped out of bounds So it wasn't gonna work anyway. Yeah, I probably just hand the ball off the rest of the game if I'm him Just heaves went up in the sky Was that slightly under thrown I don't know what happened there. I don't think he's got anything open That's a massive play dude Donald he stays in bounds there I don't know if he can take it all the way, but he's at least got a shot can't run against this Can I hit Hawkinson? No, but I can hit Kittle Kittle's running a pretty damn good route Jefferson torched him. I'm killing man coverage right now. Who does Prez go on? Kittle easy throw easy decision come here get a stiff arm beauty. Why is this place so good PA post shot, man There he is No, no, no, no, that's what I was so scared of second and inches great place so far I don't think I'm gonna scramble Nothing stupid Matt. Let's actually get this one away. Wow. This is an intense game. Oh stretch is actually really open here I got to just snap this fucker Come on go Campbell. No way, bro. Oh, yes. Okay. I got first and goal. I'm going no huddle. I'm going lead dive left side Nice blocks sort of dude. He's got some beasts up there Go go go go go go go go go go go I Can't fumble as a result of a tackle. So that was I think that was a good play call that Michael Parsons Is killing me seeing man like could I hit Herman Moore? I Was so electric getting up there and then the field closed down. I got scared Katie Oracle drill it will take a one-point lead a field goal puts him up I don't know though. I've stopped him on his last two drives playing over top of this Ball carrier conservative chew clock. Let's put this away. He's got two time outs I can take most of this clock off and I could kick a field goal if I get a touchdown I go for two. I think we just want a first down a first down. We win this game Good throw. Jefferson's got it. He calls his timeout after some deliberation Cubie Neil takes us to the end of this game. Oh, he's on the mic. He's on the mic He's on the mic. I got to get on the mic. Hey gg's bro gg's That was literally the most anticlimactic thing ever I said gg's he said I guess I don't know what I said I think I'd be pretty fucking livid if I lost like this So he did get on lucky though that fumble he had there at the end That should not have been a fumble when he was in the open field He got smoked you should fumble that his interception was a bad throw, but that was lucky. I got lucky right there I don't think you should have fumbled it. So he outplayed me 119 QBR at a 108.9 Earl Campbell couldn't get the ball going 10 for 12 1.2, but he did have a touchdown on the ground Justin Jefferson 6 for 114. That's awesome. Hawkinson's 4 for 51. Kiddles 4 for 53. Dicca 3 for 67 No challenge will spin Unfortunately, but we do have some big things to do and that is too mad I think it's maxing out Earl Campbell or maybe I needed three touchdowns. I might be one short. No, no I'm maxing out Earl Campbell right now. Earl Campbell is already really solid But now that I'll be able to give him some like serious abilities probably had a big discount 93 speed 97 acceleration 96 trucking 92 strength absolute monster. He's got freight train get tanked for one goal line back Completely free. I actually like where my abilities are with everybody. Let's just give him free goal line back and not mess with anything else All right boys, we might have just snuck away with a dove that we wouldn't normally get but I will take it It propels us to the playoffs next video You see will be the wild card playoff and the divisional and then the Super Bowl. All right, boys. I love you Thanks. Watch as always. I'll see you in the next one. Peace
