 YouTube what's up, man? I really wanted to bring this video to you guys because it's that time of year Everybody is asking me. How can I get better man? How can I improve man? And these questions are I have a few things you guys can do to get better man, whether you're a weekend league player Whether you're a guy that competes against his friends wins all the time and you want to take that next step, man There's a few little tips not really tips But ideas and ways you can do this that I can help you guys with and just give you the first couple steps as far as Improving your man game as far as wanting to compete, you know as far as I'm concerned with all my friends I've played man with my the last 12 13 years of my life, man I feel like if all any of those guys that at one point were good at the game if they put their time and energy They can go ahead and make five thousand out five to ten thousand dollars from EA because I feel like they're giving away money If you really lock in and focus and become a better man player But not only that are they giving away money at these events But if you just want to become better to win weekend league and not have to buy packs anymore That's another great avenue that EA has helped to make good man players make it valuable to be very good at man And obviously the first thing and I'll remember back My first man Oh wait was when I really learned to be good at the game and understand it and take it to the next level and the First thing I did there was I bought an e-book. I want to say I don't even remember where it was from but I bought a e-book and oh wait and I it wasn't that I needed a e-book. It was just that I wanted to understand What the top players were doing I wanted to understand Why it worked and why they continue to do that Why did they run the same play because I feel like people have two different attitudes man when you run into what's good Weather is in life when you run into what's better than you what's beating you and what's better competition than you you either make Excuses or you figure out how to do that and compete with those people You know, I think Madden goes the same way. There's half a half of what I want to say 90% of the world When they lose a man, they blame the game blame this cheesy the game You run cheesy plays YouTube plays all that and that's the type of attitude some people have But if you want to be a champion and you want to be great at Madden Maybe you don't but if you do your my attitude was when I first got hit with that type of stuff What wasn't oh, he's cheating me. It was how do I cheat that person? You know, how do I I need to learn how to do that and buying a book a man Oh, wait was one of the best things I did for myself And if you want to do that man the links below its mentor for me. There's no better people to hear from than me Clef skimbo CC all these people with great pedigrees at being great at man We'll go ahead and give you tips if you get the premium membership. You'll get everything all year So that was the first thing that really took me to the next step The second thing I want you guys to do if you want to get good at man, man You are who you play against so when EA announces these leaderboards And if you don't follow EA follow Madden League ops on Twitter though announce what leaderboards we have to play Follow my streams. I mean my YouTube's you understand what mode we have to play and those are the qualifying modes Now even if you they're not good enough to qualify playing against these people consistently will get you better I was always a mutt head-to-head or just a get online head-to-head guy Never really gambled never played for money But when EA made MCS and made me have to play leaderboards against other good people It took my game from good to elite, you know, you are who you play against So make sure you pay attention to what tournament is underway and what leaderboards the best players are grinding Because ultimately it's free looks at the best players in the world man Most of these guys would never play you if it was it was for free But because of the leaderboards you get a chance to play problem You get a chance to play kid you get a plans to chance to play skimbo and Drini You get a chance to play all these guys for free So make sure you're playing those leaderboards because even if you lose you'll learn and you'll get better So grinding leaderboards is probably the number one thing placed play wise to get you better at Madden and the third thing Being a twitch chat man if you want to get known in the community You don't even have to be good at Madden to be a part of this community That's a misconception and the twitch chats will always be live Especially in a week when Madden drops will be so packed man if you're active in there You'll become a part of our community We probably have a consistent hundred to 150 people that we all know because of the twitch chats You know, it's really a great chance to chill watch good people play mad and then talk about it Gamble on it, whatever it may be But if you watch good man, you'll learn if you're in a twitch chat talking about Madden you will learn It's all about how much knowledge is out there for you and they have twitch chats all over the place tons of people streaming man myself Cleft problem, obviously, I'm sure journey is going to stream a lot. Those are four of the best players in the world You can watch all the time and learn from the last thing I want to talk about as far as Being competitive player wanting to be a competitive player one thing people ask me on time Why didn't I travel and when I was 20 years old a man away to manual nine? And why did I travel and part of it was for me was I didn't think I put enough time in the game I I didn't think I was that good enough, you know, and and One thing I learned in the last four years Is that all these players that you guys look at that you guys think are so good? and You can compete with anybody if you put your time and energy into it I believe that if you're good at Madden if you know, you're pretty good You know, you just need to get a little bit better You can do it man believe in yourself Because shoot I could have what about ten years ago if I had a better attitude and put a little bit more effort into Madden Because I was always good at it But didn't grind it at that elite level because honestly I didn't think I was going to be better than the guys that That did you know, I didn't think I would be on that level And to me it was like to spend three hundred hours to travel You know wasn't worth it to me because I didn't think I could win and That was a bad attitude so if you're young you're 18 17 whatever may be and you want to get good at man You think you can compete just I know you can man if you guys think you can do it a little bit You definitely can so those three things man if you get a e-book whether it be for me Obviously, I want you to get it from me I'm it's one of my biggest passions going forward the next couple years of my life I guess you guys better at Madden and help you guys enjoy it the way I do Also, man Being the twitch chats twitch chats are probably the most active part of man Especially competitive men will learn your name You'll become part of the community and then grind the right leaderboards man Whatever leaderboards are the best players in the world are playing. That's what you should play regardless If you invest in your mud team all of a sudden they want you to play draft champions If you want to get better at Madden learn to play the mode that the money's on because that's what we're doing You know and if you want to get better you want to play those best players and then believe in yourself No matter what man if you think you compete you definitely can so those are just some basics as far as I want to get into competitive Man, I want to be better man. Those are some of the basic things I would tell you guys that's important and could really improve your game. Make sure you do man Hit that like month subscribe.
