 Welcome back to Double or Nothing! Each episode we start with a specific budget. We'll build the best possible Madden team, and if we win, we double that budget for the next episode. In episode one, my budget was 100,000 coins. We made an awesome team. That lands us today. Episode two with a budget of 200,000 coins. Absolutely no players on this squad. Let's start building this team. And the very first player I'm picking up is a defensive player. White boy safety, Paul Kraus, for the Minnesota Vikings. He's definitely the first edition of his team. I'm jumping to offense super quick to pick up Rahid Mosturt, the best budget card in this game. I've talked about him a bazillion times. He's out of Hila Mutt. He's so good. 10,000 coins for an 87 speed halfback. All right, let's go back to defense and fully clean up though. I got a little money now, so I don't need gold, Eric Stokes. I'm gonna pick up the elite 81 Eric Stokes, six one, 87, 87. Let's finish our whole secondary right now, actually. Here's a familiar face, 6,500 coins for Cam Chancellor. Sorry, I bought that really quick. I was scared someone was gonna snipe it from me. Really good headliners budget card, 5,700 coins is nothing. But is Derek Stingley's really good? We'll go Stingley in one more corner, just like Stingley, 6,000 coins and good speed. Guys, I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm not even gonna try to pronounce this name. Diomador Lenore. Diomador Lenore. Diomador Lenore. I said I wasn't gonna pronounce it. This guy's a stunt. He's a little short, but 84 speed, 87 Excel for dirt sheep. It's a nasty corner. At middle linebacker, I'm gonna pick up Devondre Campbell. It's kind of hard to get a good user at this price point. At least as far as linebackers go. If you wanna use their safety, you'll be just fine. I'm sorry, but if you're on a budget and you do not use Tyson Anderson, I just think you're a weirdo. I'm gonna sub this Tyson Anderson in solely to be a sub linebacker in nickel formations. I'm also gonna pick up Henley for those of you that watch, pack and play. You'll know about this card. Outside linebacker, I'm rocking Tyler Matikovic. Apologies on the pronunciation, but dude, he's a beast. He's a little expensive. I don't really wanna spend 19,000 coins there, but he's just too good to pass up on. At right outside linebacker, I'm taking the 81 overall Lawrence Taylor, just an insanely good all-around linebacker. He's green in every stat. That's what I really like about him. He's not bad at anything. I'm gonna get Malcolm Roach, 78 overall D-tackle for 1,600 coins, and we'll pair him with the Kwan Jones for 3,300 coins. I feel the same way about left and right ends. All the pressure that I apply on the quarterback comes from my linebackers. I'm not super huge on expensive left or right ends. If you play the game differently, hey, that's fine, man. In fact, I'm actually gonna rock Jalen Twyman again. Jalen Twyman had a sack last game. He's 2,000 coins. I'm gonna do that. And wow, I just landed exactly on 80,000 and I'm pretty sure my entire defense is filled out. Let's go see what this looks like. Our 200,000 budget defense is here. Devondre Campbell and Diane Henley in the middle. Outside linebackers are Lawrence Taylor and Tyler Matikovic. Safeties are probably my favorite part. Safeties in corners, really. Paul Krause, dog. Camp Chancellor's a dog. Eric Stokes is insanely good. Lenoir, Diomador, Lenoir. We're gonna see if he's good. I've never used this card, but I know this Derek's thing was good because I've used him before. Another D-line is pure budget. I probably spent 8,000 total coins on this D-line. I still think they're gonna play just fine. That's the defense. Let's work on offense. Going full gold offensive line, starting with 650 coins for Jonah Williams. That is absurdly cheap, even by gold standards. Left guard, I'm taking Kenyon Green. By the way, my center will be the free team captain, Kevin Malway. He's an 80 overall elite. Everybody gets him for free for logging into the game. 77 overall right guard, Matt Feeler for 1,700 coins. And at right tackle, I'm taking Tyler Steen is the first time I have ever heard that name, MMCasual. Now keep in mind, we already have Mostert at halfback. So who's quarterback? 84 overall, Justin Herbert is giving me my quarterback for 34,000 coins. At that price point, you have an option of about four players. That's Jordan Love, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, and Warren Moons also in there too. Keith Smith will be returning as fullback for 3,400 coins. And that leaves us with 35,000 coins to spend on wide receivers and tight ends. Absolute sleeper wide receiver, A.T. Perry. He's six-five with 84 speed, it's a nasty card. And I really don't have that many coins to work with here. I'm gonna spend kind of big here, but it's for a good reason. This Josh Palmer, such a good card. 85 speed, 86 excels, six-one, two-ten. It's just a really good wide receiver. He's 19,000 coins. That leaves me with a very budget tight end and a very budget wide receiver three. I'm gonna rock 76 overall, Cedric Tillman at wide receiver three. He's really not that impressive, but it's really hard to find any decent wide receiver. That's not 6,000 coins and I wanna save some room for tight end. Familiar face, I'm sorry guys. There's no originality when this O.J. Howard's sitting here, 84 speed, six-six. He's still the best option for the coins that I've available. For now, I think we're good to go. I'm gonna pick up one more tight end. I'd like to have depth at that position. I'm actually gonna go with the boy, Sam LaPorta. I love it. 10,000 coins left over. I don't even gotta spend it. And here is the 200K team offense. You know what's funny? I think we're the exact same overall as the 100K team. We just have significantly better weapons. Rahid Moster being one of the massive ones. Absurdly good. Justin Herbert definitely better than Baker. Baker was with in some throws. So hopefully Justin Herbert will show that up. Joshua Palmer is a dog. That's such a good wide receiver card than A.T. Perry and Tillman. Just budget guys. Last episode we didn't buy any O-line or D-line. So this is already a pretty big improvement. Overall is the same though, I think. Or was I a 78? I don't know, but I really, really like this team. We do see some familiar faces too. We got O.J. Howard returning. We've got Cam Chancellor returning. And I'm really excited to use this team, man. In my specialist, I have Tyson Anderson as my sub linebacker. Slot by receiver is Josh Palmer. Twyman's rushing everywhere. Slot corners, Erik Stokes. And I technically can give an ability out. Rahid Moster, if he activates freight train, is gonna be the stupidest fucking running bag. But I'm also gonna give him recuperation. I spammed the hell out of this Rahid Moster. He's really that good, so we'll see. But gosh, they never should have made this card. This card is so good. 87 speed, 89 excel. And with the way the Dolphins have been playing, especially Moster and Devon A-Chain, I wouldn't be shocked if Moster gets another insane card pretty soon here. A, 79 offense, 80 defense. We gotta secure a win with this team to double our stack to 400,000 coins in episode three. Let's get after it, boys. Stingley, Lenoir. That's my top three, because I was the only guys with abilities. Ramsey, dude, I love you. I love you. Your team is dogwater like mine. Let's go. Shit, shit. Just spilled coffee on everything. Fuck it, Weeball. I'm gonna get a pick right now. Tyson Anderson, interception inbound. Oh! Erik Stokes with the clamps. Tyson Anderson's gonna lock up 81. He wants to go to 81 too, so bad. God, defense, Stingley. Dude, it's nasty to even be able to play man coverage. His DBs are actually good enough to do it. This low key might be too easy of a win. This really will be too easy of a win. His team, like, he's not... Okay, I shouldn't say that. He just got first down. I need to shut up. If this game's a rage quit, though, I'm playing another. I'm not gonna leave you boys hanging like that. I dare you to run that. I dare you to run that poverty-ass ball. I'm gonna blow your shit up. Oh! No! It's Taylor! Let's go! Sorry, Jalen Hurts not today, buddy. No QB sneaks today, buddy. QB sneak merchant. Tush-push merchant. Rekamon! Evil Lord Taylor would back-to-back monster plays. He has to pass. We guess pass. We fly in there with Tyson Anderson and he hates himself for going for it. Tyson Anderson. Oh! 1,600 coins, by the way. Justin Herbert takes over. This is gonna be too easy of a win. Josh Palmer laser ready? One, two, throw it, zone. Suck my balls. Like, this guy sucks. You're gonna get dup. Goodbye! I called it. All right, that's the episode. Bye! I mean, like, technically I earned my win, but like, come on, are we gonna count that? That poverty-ass W? He-yo! Chill out. Yeah, you know what? I asked for more comp. I guess I'm getting it, right? First and 10 opening play. Ooh, zone coverage? Joshua Palmer would like a word. There's no way you run the exact same thing. Oh my God, he ran the same thing. That works for me. Get the juke! Oh! Good tackle. J Herbo looking good! Looking sharp! Ah! Oh! Good step up in that pocket. Now we're gonna hit him with that Josh Palmer whip route. They don't know nothing about that. Okay, they know something about it, but not enough. 4th and 4th, wait, this is big! Oh, did I run the ball? It's the last thing they'd expect, even if it's the last thing they'd expect it didn't work. All right. He's got that run CMC, but Paul Cross. Another nice tackle, second five. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. You're fucking horrible. You had the, how do you have this good of a team and you make a throw like that? Wow, I can't juke him out. You got no one in vain but yourself, buddy. All right, guys, let's get back on pace right here with this excellent drive. Yes, we'll start out with a laser beam to steady till. Get rocked by Juniors. Say out, we're still 4 for 4. Also, I know I can run the ball. I don't care that the run was ineffective, because I still believe in the run game. Holy shit, that shit is so clogged it's not even funny. Come on, who wants that juicy whip route? I'm going back to X, it's so risky. 18 belly, what a catch. Oh, that's a big blitz. That's a problem. It's not a problem. If you hit this throw, Herbert, I'll suck you off. What do you think? Hey! What am I saying? I'm going for the slip screen. He's on say-out though. Oh, no, he's not, he's on B-wags. He sort of sees this. I think OJ Howard whip route, cash money militia here. Holy shit. Who in the right mind is supposed to be guarding this man? Get there. It was a historic dive. All right, Mostert, Raheem Mustert. Give me those juicy fantasy points. First and goal, Mustert. Holy shit, what a play by the user. I'm going for it again. Same shit, different day. These hoes ain't loyal. Why would you like it? Like, if you made that monster play with Junior say-out, why do you switch to Isaiah Simmons? Your team is too good for these shenanigans. I personally actually believe that 89 Isaiah Simmons is the best card in the game. What a ball. Bryce Young to Vernon Davis. That's actually sick. Paul Kraus' clamp session. You ready? Remember this Paul Kraus masterclass? Okay. You're not ready, apparently. No, you're lying. Does he try to juke me? Damn, how did he break that first tackle? Tough highlight reel. Little quick one out to Mostert. Makes a very nice juke. Second and one. Inside zone, believe in the run, believe in the run. It'll believe in you. Hey, hey. Five rushes, seven yards. That's not the optimal stat line. What do I like here? User playmaker. Oh my God, Beck. Oh, okay. Wow, nice. Where'd he stick with that? I did not expect him to stick with that. First and 10. He's gonna go play action. He's not looking at any of these. Oh, we're having a mid-off. Camp, that one was really on Bryce Young. I think that ball was there. Camp Chancellor steps up, makes a huge play. Let's just turn over central. Where the fuck? Guys, I'm gonna be honest with you. I literally thought that I was throwing that ball down the seam. I had my buttons completely wrong there. We're actually having a mid-off and I think I'm more mid right now. I am, I'm losing. At first I was gonna make fun of Justin Herber for throwing a horrible pass and then I realized I clicked Y and I meant to click X. Yikes. How did I get in the end zone that one time? Through lasers like that. Jesus. Second and 10. What are we looking at here? Oh, we're looking at it. Where the fuck are you throwing? Holy shit, that one's full blown on Herber. You just threw it to Sean Taylor. It's so dumb how bad these throws are. It's just comically horrible. I'm actually so annoyed. Second and 15. Does this play action? Is he actually running I-4? I respect you. He's actually running I-4. Going literally nowhere, but I respect the play code. Slip screen. Fourth and 10. I could get a stop though here. I just gotta get to the quarterback super fast here. Oh my God, I might actually, oh no. Bit bail, bit bail, bit bail, bit bail, bit bail. So close to that. That hurts. Ooh. Ballsy, but I respect it. Calculated. Three interceptions Justin Herber. This guy's a bum. So this is the wide open throw I've been trying to throw. Oh my God. Look what happens when Justin Herber throws a fucking good ball. It's a touchdown. All right, it's 14 to 20 guys. This game is winnable. Despite terrible play by me, this game is winnable. You're kidding. Not only did he take it to the house, but he also broke. Like I actually attempted to tackle him. They broke it. I was looking at my phone. I'm not gonna lie. So I'll clap it up. Oh my God, he whiffed it again. He full fucking whiffed it again. That time it wasn't picked up, but he whiffed it again. How many times will he do it, ladies and gentlemen? This time we get off. Heave one down to Mostert. Ooh, that would have been pretty sick if we got that. I can't tell if this is made in coverage, but it looks like it. I'm gonna block. Nope, same exact thing. Great throw to O.J. Howard. Great juke. This is hilariously a game. I don't remember who gets the ball after all. God, it's been such a long game more than the second quarter. How? That was juicy. That was a beauty. I think I win this game if it continues at this pattern. I don't think I throw any more haywire receptions, so the squidge keeps evening out for me. What do I do, though? What do I do? Do I squib this? Does this game fucking want from me so that he doesn't get a freebie kick return touchdown? Let's see if that worked. You're lying. Even that doesn't work. Even a squib kick doesn't work. That's how free this fucking game is. Buy the best players in the game. Return two straight touchdowns. This is not how football works. Kick returns don't happen like this. This is not football. This is so annoying. Congratulations. Again, he's going to squib it back to me and let's see if I get the same luck. This game is so fucking dog shit. This game is so dog shit. Kick returns simulation 24. Guys, can we play football? It's the second fucking quarter. I hope you bet the over. I'm going to kick it down fucking center line. I want to be able to kick off. So I'm going to kick this down center line and run down with Sean Taylor and see if I can do something about this. Dude, I'm fucking, I'm tackling him. He's breaking it up. I got to him and tackled him. That's insane. There have been four straight kick return touchdowns now. But I've been fucking playing the game. It's 41 to 28. We're 41 seconds into the second quarter. Rifle to O.J. Howard out of bounds. Laser O.J. Howard. Going down to most dirt, taking it out of bounds. Second to 10, I got two time outs. I'm on the 47. I can't tell if this is man coverage. I don't think it is. It's not. Go Joshi Palmer, time out. First and 10, 17 seconds left. Winning this game is like fucking climbing Mount Everest, except I'm carrying a fat morbidly obese child on my back. So is that a good analogy? I have a feeling it's not a very good analogy. What you guys know I'm talking about, this shit sucks fucking ass. Most of it's out of bounds. Second and seven from the 24. Right over his fucking head. Bum. God this guy is 21 fucking kick return points man. 21 kick return points. I mean are you kidding me? And now I have no viable option here. Now there's nothing I can do realistically. I'm going kick off left and I'm gonna sky kick it to not Devin Hester and see how that does. Sky kick it, left side. Really weak. Here we go. Left side weak sky kick. All in the 36 he was tackled. That might be the move. In fact it kind of has to be the move. What other choice do we have really? I have to kick off again at half 41 35. Luckily I'm feeling the sky kick is actually gonna be like somewhat useful just left and low. It's actually gonna work. That left side sky kick is gonna work. At least I kind of forgot what his offense looks like. I don't actually remember. What does he do on offense? You guys remember? I know he's got like the best fucking team in the game but that's all I know. I'm gonna man blow it too. We'll blow up Resh Young. Ooh, blow up McCaffrey. Oh, Emerson is shit with Tyson Anderson. You're dog shit. Take your 21 points away, you're dog shit. I'm gonna run the ball right at him. He's on Isaiah Simmons too. Yeah, why don't you just give this guy. I can't even complain about the blockchains. He's got an 89 overall player at every fucking position. Kind of never been so frustrated. That's probably not true. I've probably been more frustrated before. Who's gonna step up? Who's gonna make a play? Oh, I needed that right there. Cover three sky. I could check down the moaster and pick up five or six or I have to hit a seam beater. He's in the same thing. O.J. Howard's gonna be open. It just depends where the user is. I'm gonna do the check down. Fourth and nine. I believe. I believe in myself here, honestly. There's no way. I do not wanna play at all. This is one of the stupidest fucking games I've ever played. This is insane. Holy shit, he's butt naked wide open. Like, if anything, that's a fumble. He caught the ball and he landed. I'd rather it be a fumble. You can at least justify that, my brain. You're so shit. Fuck you. Jut. This is the most toxic game I've fucking liked. I have 120 more yards of offense. I'm winning by the point. Take the kick returns out of the equation. G fucking Gs. Kicking this out of bounds. It's all the same shit. See, you know what's funny? I almost do kick these out of bounds. Cause he gets this on the 42, but zero chance to return it. Maybe I just go out of bounds every time. Is he running this ball? I don't really wanna be a man here. First intent. Tyson Anderson, master class. Second intent. I'm gonna go with the man heater here. Halfback, halfback, halfback, halfback. Oh, I fucking own you. I'm exactly where you're going. You're lucky I didn't pick six that again. Yeah, you're so shit. Fourth and four. I oughta stop him again. So last time I ran Tampa two into Mike Blitz to stop him on fourth and four and I'm about to do it again, I think. Oh, he blocked him. Nice play. Honestly, nice. You're gonna give him that? You're really gonna give him that? I think he did get it, actually. He's running the ball. This is a run. Let's get on Paul Kraus. Stuffed. Okay, he doesn't run it again though. Oh my God. I literally sacked the quarterback so fast I didn't see the handoff. I did not expect him to run that twice. Now, no matter what happens to your boys, this video go down in history. I'll tell you that one. Third and two, you run it again. He's passing. Kind of shocked. Wow, that's stupid open. What a horrible angle by Cam Chanson. Not only does he catch it, but he gets to walk in. Pitiful. Is he running this? 47-42. I think I just score as quick as possible. Go for two. I swear to God, you catch that ball. I'll quit. I'll quit Madden for about a week. This formation's been really solid today. See, all I have to do is pass this to Josh Palmer. And we've missed that throw a shocked amount of times today, but it's so open that I just have to keep going for it. See if B-Wag steps over to cover it. I expect him to. I've thrown it so many times. He doesn't there. Dives low, miss, miss, miss. You're horrible at this game. I don't know if I've ever seen someone this bad score 47 points, even with a God squad like this. This is man coverage. Gotta get steady out there. Oh, it's not man coverage. I love my left tackle standing there, literally blocking no one. Like actually, he's just standing there, watching me get sacked. EA's got money line panthers. I know that much. Hell of a ball, Josh Palmer. He just, it's such a simple set and he can't stop it. You suck. He pissing me off, how bad you are. Stay locked in. Inside zone, Moster, no fumbles. No fumbles, no fumbles, no fumbles. It's good run. Ray Moster, up and over the top. We go for two. Believe, boys, believe, believe, believe. Against all fucking odds, believe. 48 to 47. Oh my God, I never have played a Madden game this high scoring. Holy shit. Three touchdowns for Moster. We don't get the two-point conversion. That could be big. Let's just see how this defensive possession goes though. This could be a run. Okay. Okay, throws middle, gets rocked. Second and three. I don't know, this could be a run too. Oh, it is. Tyson Anderson's by himself over there. Yikes. Yeah, I mean, he could shoot a clock. Feel go hung. I don't know if he realizes that. That's a bad ball. Everton and Davis is nice. He dives down, yeah. He's gonna try and kick a field goal in no time. How do we prevent that from happening? Gotta stop the run. Duke, I knew it. Oh, I fucking knew it too. And he still breaks the tackle. Kinda animations, ah. Need him to make a mistake. Huge play game, Chancellor, third and five. No need to use timeouts yet. Don't burn him unless you gotta. Does he throw one more? Does he pass? God's squad, you've found a way to fucking choke. Evable, unbelievable. Check you fucking hilarious. Coachman, he's gonna grief his way to a dog. And you show boated on those dog shit kick returns. I remember every single time Devin Hester show boated when you didn't deserve a goddamn thing. I didn't forget. You thought I was gonna let this one slide, big guy? The fact that you just choked this lead, this game, you are able to choke this is an accomplishment in and of itself. I'm almost proud of you, Hunter. Finding a way to lose this game to me. 22 for 33, 331, two touchdowns, three interceptions. He had five interceptions. One of those was totally on me, but like the other two were just literally Herbert throwing a horrible football. Raheem Moser, 12 for 69 and three touchdowns down the ground, insane pickup. Palmer, insane pickup, seven for 166 and a tutty. O.J. Howard, six for 113 and a tutty. A.T. Perry dropped a, he had literally one catch and he dropped a crucial ball. But um, wow, I mean that's just, the pick six from Tyson Anderson. You'll never see a game like this, man. This is fucking nuts. Next episode, I'll have 400,000 coins and if you got the witness this year, damn, you, you witnessed a stunner. Hey, I love you guys. I'll see you boys in the next one. Peace.
