Video summary

The video follows Matt Meeks, a fictionalized version of one of college football's greatest tight ends, as he attempts to import his legendary career into Madden 27. Despite boasting an absurd resume with multiple national championships and Heisman trophies, the game's mechanics unfairly penalize him by projecting him as an early third-round pick due to a glitch where accolades lower his legacy score. This bug results in him entering the NFL with a significantly reduced overall rating and import bonus compared to his actual achievements. Undeterred, Meeks proceeds to export his player, customize his archetype to be a physical specimen at 6'6" and 252 pounds, and manually upgrade his stats to focus heavily on catching and speed while de-prioritizing route running and blocking, which he dismisses as myths. Before officially starting his NFL career, Meeks participates in the virtual NFL Combine, where he impressively lifts 18 reps on the bench press and completes various drills, though he notes that some combine results do not translate into significant stat upgrades this year. He is subsequently drafted by the Baltimore Ravens with the 68th overall pick, a result he accepts as a fortunate twist of fate given his flawed draft projection. Upon joining the team, he immediately faces the reality of being a backup behind Mark Andrews and dealing with frustrating game-breaking glitches related to the "no huddle" offense and the unpredictable catch meter, which often fails to register open passes correctly during preseason games against the Eagles and Vikings. As Meeks works through his preseason roster battles, he utilizes new features like the "Go Journey Tracker" to manage wear and tear and unlocks various specialties that enhance his ability to break tackles and secure contested catches. He expresses frustration with the game's monetization model, which forces players to purchase virtual items like taped fingers and custom cleats, but remains optimistic about his potential impact. By the end of the preseason, he has improved his overall rating to 82 and is on the verge of becoming a starter, setting the stage for his official NFL debut in Week One against the Indianapolis Colts, where he aims to prove himself as a monster tight end capable of leading the Ravens to a Super Bowl championship.

This is Matt Meeks, the greatest tight end in college football history. At 6'6, 227 lb, he has multiple national championships, multiple Heisman trophies, and an absurd college resume. Starting out at Florida State as a freshman, he put up 2,300 yd and 18 touchdowns. He transferred to Notre Dame for a sophomore season and closed out his junior and senior years with the Ohio State Buckeyes. But his college career is over and it's finally time for the big leagues. TODAY, I'LL BE IMPORTING MATT Meeks into the National Football League. I'll be competing in the combine, getting drafted to a team, and hopefully adding to my trophy room with my first ever Super Bowl championship. However, there's one problem. So, gentlemen, you look at my stats. I'm literally the greatest tight end who's ever lived. Yet, somehow, I'm projected to go early in the third round. There's a super frustrating glitch in College Road to Glory where every time you have a really big accolade, it actually drops your legacy score. You can see right here in my junior year when I won every award in the books and then I immediately became a worse prospect. In fact, EA actually has a legacy score to compare it to and the best of the best they have is Vernon Davis with 19,000. Compare that to my 65,000 and um somehow that worked against me. Don't worry though, EA is a small indie company with only a few employees, so let's cut them some slack. >> He's already dead. >> SO, WHEN I LEAVE FOR THE NFL, I can import this entire player, but it's going to import him as a projected early third round pick. This might work in my favor. Maybe I'll go to a better team. I really don't know. But my college career is done. So, there's Matt Meeks, the 95 overall Ohio State Buckeye, and I'll be exporting my player to Madden. Export successful. Now, we'll boot up Madden 27 and from Superstar, we're going to start a new career. And there is Matt Meeks. Now, you're supposed to get a big import bonus, but that import bonus is also directly related to your draft projection. So, that's why I'm a little pissed about this bug. Like, I really should be coming in as a 78 overall, but we're just going to go where the wind takes us. You got to love that I am a mid-round draft prospect that is likely to begin as a backup. You see a tight end put up 77 touchdowns and 7,000 yards, and you're just going to throw him in as a backup? I'm going to keep my college number of 87 though, that's for sure. Now, it's time to pick an archetype. I do not have to be the same archetype I was in college. I think I still want to be 6'6, but a little bit stronger. I'm going to go up to 252. Now, EA is saying I'm a yak specialist and I play like Sam Laporta. I don't know if I want to agree with that. I want to be Gronk, right? So, I'm 6'6 252 and my max catching, break tackle, catching traffic, and trucking are 99. I don't care about route running. I think that shit's a myth, so I brought these down to 81. Blocking also a myth. My maximum speed's only 93. Wish that could be a little bit higher. Might change it around. I'll change my exceller up to 90. My jumping is 99. My agility is up to 90. Keep in mind, these are my maximum overalls. They will not start at this. It also shows you the maximum abilities that you can get with those stats. So, I can get truck elite to gold. Love that. Sticky fingers gold, significantly more likely to catch any pass. Iron grip is for catching contested catches. I can get that up to gold tier. Mid-air winner, significantly more likely to hold onto the ball during mid-air catches. There's a couple of interesting ones in here that I've never seen before. Stiff arm mastery, you know why I love that one. Two-step terror, fresh legs. These are all new. I've never seen any of these. X-factors are of course important, but as soon as we unlock double me, this is all that we are using. My starting upgrades are going to be all about catching the football. I can actually take my catch in catching traffic up to 90 to kick this thing off. That's kind of crazy to have these two. Now, I have pitiful route running and my break tackle, trucking, run blocking are all also very pitiful. But, with five skill points left, feel like I'm going to be running a lot of short and medium routes. Let's take these. I'm kind of confused why deep route running is not an option, but I guess we'll find out. Also, for the first time, and I'm just now noticing this, physicals can be manually upgraded. Last year, you could not manually upgrade things like speed and acceleration. The game just kind of did it for you, which was really stupid. And these are different buckets. So, my skill points for physicals are different than my skill points for core. I'm not sure how this is going to be implemented. This is my first ever superstar on Madden 27, but already I can get 87 excel, and I can max out my speed and excel to start out my career. That's really interesting. I can also get afterburner and high-speed getaway silver tier. Stamina might be important. If there's a slider for stamina, that's not going to be that important. Okay. So, I really just did like what I believe to be the most important stats. I've got 90 speed and excel, and I've got 90 catching and catching traffic. I'm kind of a one-trick pony, but that's pretty cool to start out like that. Now, mentals, specialties, and X-factors, I've no skill points on. So, there's nothing we can do here yet. And specialties, by the way, is brand new. If you look in that bottom right, there are so many abilities down there. It looks like they go up to platinum tier. I don't know any of those. I've never used a specialty before. So, I'm kind of excited to see how this is implemented. You can choose to be on any NFL team. I'm not doing that. My agent wants to have a chat with me. What do you think, Brooke? Morning, Mr. Heisman. Heisman for what, Brooke? I'm going in the third round. Combine's coming quick. Couple teams are already asking about you. Yeah, I'll be there, Brooke. I'll be there to do the same combine they've had for five straight years of Madden. I'll be there, Brooke. The NFL combine, we're in Indianapolis, and I'm going to show out here as best as I can. In previous years, the combine actually gives you some pretty big stat upgrades. I'm not sure if that's still the case this year, but it can be worth doing. We're starting out with the 40-yard dash. I mean, I already upgraded all my speed. I wonder if that even matters for this. Come on, Matt Migs. 3 2 1 Get out there. Got to alternate LT RT LT RT LT RT. DID I JUST COOK? You get a tight end run a 4-3? Would a Jarvis Landry run a 4-4-7? Number one tight end in speed. I don't think this matters at all. Oh, no, I do. I get three physical skill points. So, yeah, this is actually worth it. I put on some weight since college. Let me tell you what. I'm going to bench out 225. I'm looking for 15 reps. See if I can get this puppy for 15. These go up. LB RB your bumper. Slow it down on the way down. Keeping that red bar off. Has anyone ever got hurt at the combine? Like has anyone ever tore a pec bench pressing? I feel like that would just be the most criminal end to a career or start to a career, I suppose. I certainly can't here. 12 13 I'm going to get more than 15, baby. They were expecting 11 out of me. 15 16 17 Think deep. 18 Think deep. Think deep. Uno mas. Por favor. Oh, I'd count that. I'd low-key count that rep. Wow. I mean, I did better than I expected, but look at the numbers out of the tight ends. Who is number one? Who is the strongest tight end? Matthew Hibner? John Michael Gillanborg? Foreshadowing. Let me tell you right now, you're going to see John Michael Gillanborg. Not in this video, but in an upcoming video. This one's really simple. You literally just spam A and then shoot in a direction. 9 ft 5 I'm still That's still too short for the dating market. Did not cook on this one. Little 20-yard shuttle. I've always wondered, what is this drill? Lateral quickness, I guess. Guys, does the combine even matter? Do you think NFL scouts really give a about the combine? That's a serious question. Got the A grade, though. All right, we're going to run a couple routes. Who's that throwing me the football? Does anyone know who that is throwing me the football? This might be a good time to test out some meter catching, though. I currently have my meter set to only for 10 yards plus. On these little check down routes when you're unguarded, I hate timing up the meter cuz if you mess that up, you feel so stupid. But on something like this, if you're contested, All right. All right, QB. What What the I'm sorry. What am I supposed to do there? 1 2 Bang. This is an interesting little little deep out here. They're going to count it and I go orange little wheel route. The wheel tech, I got to time up the call. Beautiful. Bang. Oh, you know what I got to do? I got to do a one-handed catch. So, if you hold the left bumper when you're catching the ball, you will automatically go for a one-handed catch. Let's do it right here. Hey. WHY WOULD I DO THAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SCOUTS? I'LL take it. That drill actually doesn't matter. You get no skill points for that drill, so. So, I'm still an early third-rounder, you know. I guess I didn't show them enough in college, really. That's on me. It all comes down to this, gentlemen. This will literally determine our full team. Now, you can request trades, but you can only request trades once you've gotten good enough. Once you've built up enough repertoire with your coach or with your agent. Whatever team I land on here is my full team for the full season. Drum roll, please. We are entering THE NFL DRAFT. On the board is the Baltimore Ravens. Tell me I'm going to the Baltimore Ravens. Round three. No way. Oh, my god. That's a dream. Are you kidding me? WAIT, WHAT? WAIT, the Broncos with the 66th pick. They said the Ravens were on the board. With the 66th pick the Denver Oh. Oh, I just got cocked. Oh, they blew balls me. With the 68th pick, the Eagles select What the IS GOING ON? THEY KEEP BLUE BALLING ME. Am I actually going to the Ravens? With the 80th pick in the 2026 NFL draft, the Baltimore RAVENS SELECT OH! TALK TO ME, MINTER. Am I ready to be a Raven? Are you me? Yes, I'm ready to be a Raven. Mark Andrews bum ass could never do what I'm going to do. Holy I'm going to the Ravens. Dude, we're winning that. We're winning that sucker, no question. Ooh, and we're going to get to use those uh dream scenario for tight end. This is literally the best case scenario. And like I said, you know, that draft projection being all screwed up kind of sucks. But if I was correctly projected, I probably would be round one pick one or two or three, and then I'm going to Arizona with Trey McBride. That wouldn't make any sense. There would be so many bad places I could have landed. I could have been on the Raiders. This actually worked out so well. I ended up going in the middle of the third round, which is really good for us. Early third round would have been a worse team. Round three pick 16, I'm getting 6 and 1/2 million bucks for 4 years, and I'm winning a Super Bowl. I've signed with the Ravens. Oh my god, let's go. Wow, that is so awesome. All right, we got a press conference. Congratulations and welcome to the Ravens. Thank you very much. Well appreciated. Jump from college to league is real when you walk in the building, when you focus on proving first. I'm ready to be a pro. Honestly, I'm ready to be a pro. 4 years in college, I could have left as a junior. I want them to know I'm dead ass. When your career is over, what do you want people to remember about you? Help my team win championships. More like that I single-handedly won my team championships. Thank you, go Ravens. Come on. So, this is the goat journey tracker. This is new this year. It's really just a visual to show your stats, but as you earn new things, you do unlock cap breakers, just like in Road to Glory College. If my speed gets maxed out at 90, I can use a cap breaker to bring that maximum to a 91. Pretty simple. Before you can even get started, EA starts like telling you to buy Superstar battle pass. If you ever buy that, you're a chud. Featured store skill starter bundle. If you ever buy that, you're a jobless chud. Okay, so we do have some skill points from the combine. I think break tackle is going to be really important. So, I think this will be one of the next things I work on for my core. Take it up to 78 for now. For physicals, I got to imagine wear and tear is going to be really impressive this year, too. So, I'm going to take recuperation early. Wear and tear is so bad in college and you can't turn it off. So, we'll see how that's impacted here. And then stamina for the exact same reason. But, she's got a lot of physical upgrades from the combine. Damn, I'm already an 80 overall. I can't even imagine if you're round one pick one, you probably start out as like an 84 or something. I think jumping, agility, and change of direction I'm just going to have to concede for now, but jumping for going up for contested catches is going to be really important. So, we're going to go here. Now, I've got jumping, catching, and speed. And now, we do have some mental skill points. These are ability buffs. Harder to knock out of the zone once I have double me X-Factor will be gigantic, but I don't have that yet. That's going to be really good. Film study will let me see the play art of linebackers. I'll see what kind of coverage I got on me. And then, locked in lets you easily enter the zone. It's kind of badass. I think for now, important thing for me is going to be film study. See the play art of linebackers on third and fourth down. So, I'll know what coverage I'm looking at. Specialties, this is the brand new one that I am not familiar with. Chain mover, first down machine, legendary chain. It's kind of like a skill tree in a game like Borderlands or Skyrim. I like this. Automatically reach out for first downs and touchdowns with significantly reduced chance of fumbling. I feel like there's got to be something better than that. Ball carrier elite, use elite spin, juke, truck, and stiff arm animations. So, even without any investment into my juke moves, I'd be able to get this? That's kind of crazy. I'm shocked that's an option. Call for loss, influence the strength of the pass when calling for the ball. So, you get down field and get a heater. Call for dots gives your QB an accuracy boost when calling for the ball. I don't know that I'm going to need this cuz Lamar is so good. If I had a shitty QB, maybe. Significantly improved catching when attempting a catch after calling for the ball. That's really good. Highlight reel, request one-handed catch animations. How the hell is that going to work? These are all crazy. I think I want Backlash, extreme fatigue penalties when tackled via a non-conservative tackle, and then Snip Out of It is an improved chance to break diving cuts, and then the other end is Break Strip and Hit Sticks. So, you basically break every tackle that's not a conservative tackle. I like this one a lot, but for the start of my career, Call for Ball. I'm going to be calling for the ball every single time. Let's go Called Catch 1 and Called Catch 2. So, we've got silver tier Called Catch. Really liking this system so far. We'll see how it gets implemented, but I'm a big fan. And then Tackle Breaker. I'm going to go Shake Hit Off. I think hit sticks will be a problem, especially for fumbling. So, really, before my career even starts, we've got a lot of abilities. Iron Grip and Sticky Fingers, bronze tier. Mid Air Winner, Afterburner, Recuperation, Fresh Legs, and High Speed Getaway. Mentals, I've got Film Study. I can see linebackers on third and fourth. And Specialties, I have a improved catching chance when calling for the ball and a better chance to break strips and hit sticks. I'm slowly building my Gronk. There are tattoos in the game, but you have to purchase them, which is ultra corny. Also, a really bizarre assortment of tattoos. So, only like 15 tattoos, and you're either cultural Samoan or Japanese. Okay. Now, one of the crazy new things this year, too, you can ask the front office to trade for someone. But, my team and my agent and everybody needs to trust me more, and I haven't played yet. So, obviously, that can't happen yet, but you can demand a trade. You can get one of your teammates traded if someone's playing like do-do dog influence free agency. It's pretty sick. Also, I don't usually like buying but I think these cleats are actually so sick. You got these pink Kyler Murray Vapor Edge. I do have enough like cred to equip this. Those are actually sick. I kind of like it with the Ravens purple, too. Did Ravens get new uniforms? Ravens uniforms look so sick. Damn, you have to buy everything now? What kind of is this? I have to buy taped finger white? I could go down to CVS and get tape for like 99 cents. I make six and a I'm on a six and a half million dollar contract. You want to pay for taped fingers? Dude, somebody at EA went and played 2K for the first time ever and then they just started jerking themselves off. Like, oh my god, they make these guys pay VC for a haircut. We got to do that. idiots. I'm going purple gloves on the home uniforms. Tell me I got to pay for my like arm brace. I'm going to be pissed you make me pay for my arm brace. All right, man. I think I want a black shooter sleeve. Dude, I actually love these cleats. Dude, those cleats are sick. I like what we're rocking here big time. Okay, so that's the dark gear. I'll rock the dark visor for the dark gear and light gear I'm going the prism. But now I got to do the arms all over again. Got to rock the all whites here. Damn, when did the Ravens get new uniforms? These are so cool. I like this. Here's our light gear. Oh wait, where's my Where is the whips, bro? Where my Kyler Murray whips? Yo, I don't care if you don't like them. Debatable wall, purple pink, black white. That goes hard. WELL, WE'VE GOTTEN DRAFTED, we've dripped ourselves out, but in the National Football League we've done exactly nothing. Right now we got to fight for the starting job. We're taking on the Eagles in the preseason. I'm going to be totally honest with you gentlemen. I'm actually really excited. I was a little frustrated with road to glory in college, but so far I'm loving everything I'm seeing here. Keep in mind, EA has not patched the no huddle glitch. If you attempt to run no huddle in superstar, there's a chance every play that it'll completely brick the game and your quarterback will auto fumble or you might not be able to snap the ball. So, I'm not running no huddle. First team look, defenders have improved coverage, players have less stamina. My very first play in the National Football League, playing for the Baltimore Ravens is play action scissors. Lamar is in right now and Mark Andrews is still on this team. Let's go run this as Oh, I'm open. That's my NFL debut. LAMAR GETTING PANCAKE PICK SIX BY COOPER DEJEAN. You saw the vision though, right? I thought I was open. I blame Lamar. If he floats that over it, you know, not such a bullet, I definitely blame Lamar. I could see how that's entirely his fault. I am not calling that my NFL debut because this is just a preseason. Preseason isn't real. Jesse Minter, it's not my fault. Blame Lamar. Blame Lamar. Blame Lamar. So, it turns out on this team, I'm being considered maybe the third string wide receiver. Or maybe this is just I guess I'm starting in over Mark Andrews here. Play action wide receiver in. Give me an easy one, Lamar. Yeah, no mistakes now. Dude, Cooper DeJean is owning me. He's got that pick six and just made a really good uh really good tackle right there. I thought for sure I'd run through Cooper DeJean. I don't have the trucking stats I need yet, though. Go jet touch pass and I'm just blocking Zach Baun here. No, I'm not. Zach Baun is blocking me. Jacoby Land broke the tackle, thank god. Wow, I'm off to a rough start. I am the primary on this play, which is nice. Being the primary is huge, they always look at you. I totally lied. I don't think I have the uh no, I'm not good enough to audible myself on routes yet, either. Can't really change up anything. Just got to be a team player. Ooh, but I'm open enough. Hey. The air truck of destiny gets me more yards than I probably should have gotten right there. Bench could be nice if I get single coverage. And look at that, I'm already using film study. I can see that that linebacker in the middle is just on a zone. So, we're taking on zone defense. Am I going to be open? Probably not. Get a fourth and two, coach. We should go for this. Good call, coach. Good call, coach. I am the primary. It's a really weird route. Timeout, Eagles. We're going to run motion quarterback power to try and keep this drive alive here. I just got to block for Lamar. That's a good block. Lamar got some good yards on that. Two receptions, 16 yards. I got to use my green meter. I got speed and catching, that's all I got. Let's get down there, call for the ball, and make a big catch. That's what we got to do here. Okay, that was so bizarre. I don't know what just happened. >> Going right back to scissor smash. This time I am the primary. I got to call for this. Oh, they're not covering me underneath. I'm just going to switch it up a little bit. Tariq Woolen was cheating inside. I'm honestly okay with that cuz I just want to keep the chains alive. It's preseason so I think I only play the first and second quarter. So if I'm going to get a touchdown here, kind of got to do it right now. WHY NOT? WHY NOT? DID I CATCH THAT? I CAUGHT IT. I didn't think I was going to catch that. >> Okay, I might have made Lamar throw a pick six, but I did just get a really nice catch right there. That's probably it for my debut. I don't think I'm coming back in. And we're putting up a good fight. It looks like Philly's going to take this one. Preseason doesn't matter, you guys. 34 to 20. I'm not calling it my debut. This is my This is a little warm up. It's nothing crazy. Four receptions, 38 yards and a touchdown. I'm not mad about it. All righty, preseason game two. Taking on the Minnesota Vikings now. Defense will have improved coverage and offense has distorted play art in third and fourth. I don't like that. I am the primary here. Wow, that just looks beautiful, man. It genuinely looks beautiful. Let's go down there. Oh, I'm open. What the just happened with the meter? I might be able to take this. The meter THAT WAS SO WEIRD. The meter popped up, but it didn't move on the bar at all. I caught it, so it is what it is. That was so weird. We got a huge reception. First and 10. Oh. Oh, I love this coverage. What the is going on with the meter? It just did it again. It's showing me the meter, but the bar is not moving. Is it going to do this all game? Second and 10. Let's try this again. Let's just see what happens. Yeah, it's literally going to do this all game. Look at that. YEAH, YOU SUCK DICK AT MAKING video games. GIVE IT UP. LET SOMEBODY ELSE MAKE THIS GAME FOR GOD'S SAKE. Genuine tragedy that these monkeys oversee this game. I've got to throw drag Lamar. You're Lamar Jackson. You can throw the drag. That was a touchdown. I've got to catch everything under 10 yards for this game because if I can't see the meter, I can't catch it. It's the equivalent of putting on a blindfold and trying to time it. I'm hoping that that was just like a single drive bug. I'm going to try and call for a pass here. Also, I don't know if you can call for a pass with B in this game. You cannot. That did look like my meter was going to attempt there. This is an RPO. Caught on that one, no meter needed. Beautiful, we get third and one. All right, MM blocker. Holy I'm ass. Oh my god, I forgot about Derrick Henry. This team is cracked. I should scout the team and just see how good everybody is, you know. First and 10, oh I'm very open. Meter's back, huge. Okay, so I guess for just for that first drive it was bugged. That will certainly be annoying in the future and it ain't going to get fixed, so we're just going to have to fight through it. First and 10, little motion wheel route here. Oh my god, am I open? And Lamar actually waited on that, which was better. And we're in the end zone. Lamar played that better than I did. I called for the ball. I probably called a little early and Lamar made up for it. That was huge. My game day objective is to win two run blocks, which I kind of hate. Come to my side. Come to my side, I'll put up a block for you. Hey! I assume they're counting that as a block win, right? First and 10, just got a little out route here. We take what we can get and I'm going to get around the corner. Oh my god, why was my juke so good? That was cracked. Dude, the juke in college sucks and I don't have any juking stats. I'm so shocked I just juked that well. I'm about to keep doing that, especially until I get my trucking up as high as I want, until I get my break tackle as high as I want. Maybe the juke in the open field is kind of kind of nasty. My jumping's high, too. Maybe I can hurdle. I'm a check down machine right now. Take a huge hit right there, but dude, we're moving the rock. Oh darn it, Hipner's the route here. I'll just be a good blocker. Yeah, buddy. Okay, second and 10. Deep crosser. That was almost a money ball out of Lamar. I respect that. Mesh spot. Just got a little little mesh route here and we can see with film study that they're in a zone coverage. And I'm really open. Though it was fourth down, that should be enough for Tyler Lockett though. Ooh, that's a great route to run right there. Blake Cashman, get get to me. Damn, Josh McTellis. Josh McTellis just hearing me, but that was perfect. We're having a really good game right now. Let's keep this up. Okay, first and 10. Once again, I don't know what these coverages they're running, but we're super open. Okay, we're going duo here. I'm just a good blocker for my boy Derrick Henry. That's all I am. I'm going to let Lamar just run speed option because I'm just such a good teammate. Kind of interested to see how they play this. Oh, that was great. I mean, I like low-key helped a little bit with that block. 20 to 10, this game is virtually over. I might be able to catch one more pass if I run no huddle. Don't get the glitch and just kind of cheese myself a pass here. Oh, pitiful blocking. I gave that up. Derrick Henry is good enough to keep it alive. Oh, yeah, we're going to get a play here. Play action halfback wheel. Maybe they run commit. I just get something free here. Oh my god, they do. Oh my god, they do. No meter. Meter is not working how it's supposed to. That was well past 10. Either way, made my life real easy. Maybe the catch was so open no meter was required. I don't know, but that's a really fun thing. The defense will run commit in scenarios where it just seems so obvious they would run the ball and you can get free touchdowns like that on wide receiver, tight end, running back if you just call a pass play. Another touchdown. That was a monster game. We only played like, what, the third and fourth quarter? We had 11 receptions for 221 and two Oh my god, that was a monster game. I don't even think I fully appreciated how big that game was. Silent count adjustments. Go Journey's looking good after that. Damn, I'm close to a team captain. My go tier went up. 11 221 and two progression looking gnarly. Damn, we are big balling. X-Factor skill point earned. That's huge. Let's meet with our agent and upgrade our player. Got to see what this is yapping about, bro. Ah, and my game crashed. It's a classic issue I have with EA games. When you try to just play them, it doesn't work. Sorry, is my brand new Xbox not strong enough to play your piss-poor doo-doo dog water tiki hut Nepal monkey game? Is it not, EA? All right, more preseason action. This time, it's Ravens-Commanders. I was like a little Ravens. By the way, that's why blocking is a myth. Like, I have a blocking stat and my blocking is like 68. I still just pancake people. And we're on the hardest difficulty. Although, interestingly, when I started this up, I set my quarter length to 4-minute quarters since I figured I'd be playing a lot of games and it still came out in 6-minute quarters. So, not sure if it's just different for preseason. It's kind of an assy route I just ran. First and 10. I also play with excel clock on. Um, there's just so many games and I want to get myself to the playoffs. I'm sure some of you really appreciate love the grind. I like the big moments. Also, it is kind of crazy how even on like four-ish minute quarters, you know, if you're calling for the ball, you're still going to have 11-12 catches and 100 some yards. Okay, first and 10. I'm the primary on this one. Lamar gets it out quick. Going to second six. Honestly, with the speed I've got, oh, this is perfect. Look at this scenario. Is there a chance I really get single coverage here? They can double me down the field. Hmm, I could still get it. No. Checks it down. A big pancake just for fun. This is single coverage. This could be an opportunity use that green meter. LET'S FIND IT. OH! OH! OH, Mat Meeks! Yo, the sun was in my eyes. I'm not CeeDee Lamb. I'm Mat Meeks, baby. I can catch those. Huh? Simple route here. Oh. whoa, whoa. I didn't know he threw it. That's my bad. It's my fault, OG. A lot of motion plays in this Ravens playbook. Bateman's going to come over. Let's scout out our squad after this game. I'll take a little one. No truck. Darn it. Third and one. Going to go lay the hammer here. Going to go lay the hammer here. I'm in the dirt doing nothing. Yes. My teammates need to pick me up after that piss-poor block. I need to get chewed out by somebody. Uh, play action cross here. I have no route. So, I'm an MM blocker once again. But, I'm a good teammate. And I'm not above that. This is a crazy play. That's a wicked route combo. I'll just take the easy one. Out and ups. Ooh. Sure. A little post route on this one. This could be nasty. Holy Lot of collision. A cool ability would be no collision. Just let me run straight directly through people like a ghost. Okay, that was my worst idea yet. I'mma be honest. Lamar didn't throw that to me. Picking on my ass, Lamar. Here we go. Since we know it's zone, I should be able Ooh. That was the worst route known to mankind. I should have ran my damn route. Those were bad reps. But, I first want to tell you, I need one more catch and five more yards to get my game day challenge. Should be easy enough. Mark Andrews, I'll be a teammate. Oh. No, I won't. Hey, anytime Mark Andrew fumbles is a good case for me. Every single time he does that, that's how I become the starter. He's going to do the 6-7 on me. Get cross. He's going to do the 6-7 on us. Brutal. Not sure if I'm playing this whole game or just the first half. So, let's make sure we get our catch here for 5 yards. Easy. I think the worst part about the meter in this game is it cannot figure out when it wants to pop out and when it doesn't. Like sometimes you'll be like clearly 10 yards across and it just won't pop. And then sometimes like that it'll pop up super late. Honestly though, it's my fault. I got to be ready for the meter every single time. That solves it. Whether it's a check down that it shouldn't be on or what, I just need to be ready for the meter. First and 10, Lamar's getting hot. Tell me I got a deep one here. Nope. Good ball. Motion, wide receiver angle post. So weird play. Oh. Lamar, Lamar, you know I'm open down there. Primary. Love being the primary. This could be a really good opportunity. Marky Mark comes over. Oh. I just dusted him. What are you doing, buddy? I mean, I am pretty fast though. That's that 90 speed, 90 excel to start the season. Love to see that. I'll take an easy one. Looks like I'm playing the whole game. Try and get an A+ teammate grade. Oh, wowzers, I'm open. Can't eat the hit, but damn I'm open there. Oh. Had Sunny Styles on me. Sunny Styles is really good. I don't know if I would have gave that one away. Ooh. Ooh. I just glazed Sunny Styles and I tried to take a catch right in front of him. That's my choke, coach. That's on me. It's preseason. If I want to call for it and give us a loss, I'm over it. I can't be doing that in the playoffs, so that's for sure. MM blocker, I'm not above it. I'm not above it. I'm not above it. I'm not above it. Nice. Wow, I'm really not above it. I am MM blocking today. Those are great blocks though. Third and inches, that's actually a pretty good opportunity for play action. Especially if they bite hard. Ooh. Green! That was a nasty catch. Okay, rookie. What are they going to say to the rookie now? Oh, I'm open. Sort of. See like there, that's like 11-12 yards downfield, no meter on that one. I don't know how the game decides. 26 in the fourth quarter here. If our defense stops them, we have a really good opportunity. Contested. Damn. Sticky fingers plus getting that specialist boost for calling it. I'm going to be a scary ass tight end. When it's all said and done. Lamar, do it, buddy. We had that. See what kind of coverage this is. Leo Chenal is going to talk Go make the Kansas City fraud. You ain't winning with Washington. Third and 10. Quick little Leo Chenal stray in this video. You know, you never know what to expect. Here we go. Here we go. Oh, he's so little, Matt Meigs. Fourth and inches now. You can't get got like that. Oh, huge. Where's Derrick Henry? How the Derrick Henry not in for this? I guess this is preseason. Honestly, Lamar shouldn't even be in. And that was a damn good run by Justice Hill. We'll take it, boys. 21 to 21. We can win this game. We can absolutely win this game. Easy underneath. Dot to Mark Andrews. Nice play, Lamar. I'm open. I'm Was that really red? That felt so green bean. It's not messing up. Honestly, I think the meta is to release a little bit early cuz the bar seems to lag a little bit. Cuz I could have sworn I was green. I just got to keep getting reps. So, the first and 10, tough drop. Game ain't over. We'll survive. I'll take the check down, Lamar. If we're going to do a little check down, I'll do it, you know. I'm not above that, either. Ooh, I'm so open. Took a huge hit from Sonny Styles, though. Got to get in the end zone. First and 10. We got three time outs. Damn, I am wow. The angle of the century. I'm getting laid out though. My wear and tear, I'm sucking air. You can see that left side bar is the wear and tear bar, and I'm about half drought right now. But honestly, it's definitely better than college football cuz I'd be absolutely dead on arrival if this was college football, just straight up. Big play. Oh, he's in. He's in! It's our fourth string tight end. Oh my god, what a play. Wow. I mean, it's preseason, so let's not go crazy. That's pretty darn big win, bro. Move up the depth chart. We're almost there. We honestly got a lot of upgrades to use, so we should use them. I'm close to unlocking silver tier catching. I think we need trucking and break tackle. That's what I'm going to spend on here. Okay, so break tackle's up to 81, trucking is up to 81, and we've got two brand new abilities from that. Physicals-wise, I can get 93 speed, and I can get 81 stamina. Beautiful. I can also get I think we will need some agility eventually. I'll keep I'm going to go agility. I'm going to go locked in. Easily enter the zone and persistent, harder to knock out of zone. That is all for the fourth quarter. We've got a lot of specialties to use here though, like a lot. We got 10 points here. I think we go call for ball gold tier. And then we're also going to go call for dots all the way up to gold tier. Damn, if we get two more specialist points, we will have what? Platinum tier call for loss, influences strength of pass when calling for the ball. And I can get an X-Factor now. Looks like there's tiers of double me. That's new. I've never known there to be tiers of X-Factors. We're obviously going double me. I am genuinely so confused. It doesn't seem to say what the extra tier does. So, double me, when in the zone, increase success rate on agg catches against single coverage. How can that get better? I'm excited to see if you can take a look at our active abilities now. We've got double me, call for dots, and call catch gold tier, three mentals. I'm really liking this. I'm liking this a lot. And with that, we are officially into week one of our NFL career. Our first real game. We're going to enter as the backup. It's 14 to 14 against the Colts. It's going to be a big one. But damn, are we off to a good start or what? We're an 82 overall already. And Matt Meeks for the Baltimore Ravens is looking like a monster. My go journey is certainly going to need some work though. I'm simply a rising star. We've got a long way to go to where we go. But this should be fun, boys. Next episode for superstar tight end, I think I'm going to play through my entire first season in the National Football League, and we'll see where that takes us. I love you boys. Thanks for watching as always, and I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace.
