Video summary

In Madden 27 Superstar, tight end Matt Meeks launches his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens after being selected in the third round of the draft. Taking advantage of the game's new manual upgrade system, Meeks immediately boosts his speed to 93 and acceleration to 90, while activating key abilities such as the Gold-tier "Call for the Ball" to enhance catch rates and quarterback accuracy, alongside the X-Factor ability "Double Me." Although he does not start in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts due to the presence of Mark Andrews, Meeks makes a significant impact as a blocker for Derrick Henry and scores his first touchdown on a wheel route to help secure a 24-21 victory. His momentum continues into Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints, where he scores another touchdown before Andrews suffers an ACL injury, prompting Meeks to fill the starting role for the remainder of the game; despite recording twelve receptions for 238 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3, the team narrowly loses a close match to the Tennessee Titans following a late interception. As the season progresses, Meeks faces his division rival, the Cleveland Browns, in Week 4, where he overcomes an initial struggle to find open routes by utilizing motion wheel routes to score multiple touchdowns and lead the Ravens to a 21-14 win, maintaining an undefeated record heading into the bye week. Throughout the rookie campaign, Meeks focuses on refining his core stats like catching, catching in traffic, and breaking tackles, while also improving mental attributes such as film study and persistence to maximize performance against elite defenses. By the halfway point of his first year, his overall rating has surged to 89, a rapid progression that the player praises highly when contrasting it with the slower development seen in previous editions like Road to Glory College. During this period, Meeks further upgrades his physical attributes, setting change direction and agility to 81, and unlocks the rare Platinum-tier "Call for Lofts" ability, which allows pass strength to be influenced by the duration of the button hold. With his team facing the struggling Buffalo Bills later in the season, Meeks continues his ascent by allocating points to upgrade his roster further, bringing his catching stat to 99 for Gold tier status and nearly achieving Iron Grip in catching traffic. His development plan is strategic, prioritizing tackle breaker stats before unlocking highlight reel abilities like improved midair and spectacular catching to enable aggressive one-handed snags, followed by chain mover capabilities for automatic first-down reach-outs. This accelerated growth allows him to quickly unlock trade demand features and aim for the highest player milestones, progressing from a rising star through team captain and cornerstone player status toward becoming an all-time great legend. The video concludes with Meeks on track to finish his full rookie season as a cornerstone of the Ravens' offense, having successfully navigated injuries, defensive challenges, and the complexities of the new upgrade mechanics to establish himself as a top-tier tight end in Madden 27.

This is 6'6 tight end Matt Meeks. From multiple national championships in college to a third round draft pick in the NFL, where the superstar tight end was selected by the Baltimore Ravens. And if you're a young tight end, this is a pretty awesome team to start your career with. Last episode, we got drafted and fought through the preeason to try to earn our starting spot. And in today's episode, I'm going to finish our entire first season. We start out in week one trying to become a starter in a tied game against the Colts. And I got to admit, the new superstar system this year is so much better than last year. In the past, you could not manually upgrade things like speed and acceleration, but now you can. So, I'm an 82 overall right now in the National Football League, but I'm so much better than that, if that makes sense. I've got 93 speed, 90 acceleration. So, already I'm kind of a monster for tight ends. I have no change of direction agility. I've got a little bit of jumping. For my core stats, I've got 90 catching and 90 catch in traffic, letting my run blocking be really pitiful. And there are now so many abilities in Superstar, like a crazy amount of abilities. This is everything I have activated right now. I've got five physical abilities, and all of these have tiers going from bronze to silver to gold. Three mental abilities. I have two really good specialties that are at gold tier right now. Called catch gives you improved catching when attempting to catch after calling for the ball. And I call for the ball like every play. So, call for dots also makes it so when you call for the ball, your quarterback throws a better ball. I said ball a lot in there. That got a little sus. And of course, for X Factor, I've got double me. No upgrades to make right now, but a lot of games to play. Let's get after it. Not where you wanted to start. That's what they're saying here. I don't agree with you. I kind of like close games. So, defense has improved coverage, and my objectives are winning run blocks, which I I hate that. I ain't doing that I'm catching a pass for a first down. I'll lose the experience. I don't care. All right, second and four. This is my first NFL snap. My first NFL snap was a perfect route. Not even mad about that. I mean, technically, yes, I have snaps in the preseason, but this is my first true NFL game snap. And now I'm going to be MM blocker for Derrick Henry, and it pays off cuz he gets a ton of yards. Dude, I can't believe I'm on the Ravens. This is so awesome. Last year I was on the Bengals. It was horrible. When I started up at tight end for the first time, I was on the Browns. That was in my Madden 27 review video. I just thought I was going to be fried and I was going to be open right there. Oh, good. As it stands, Mark Andrews is still the starter though. I've not earned my starting spot in Baltimore. And I get it. Mark Andrews been their tight end for a long time, but I was the greatest college tight end ever. Also, I got the K. If you guys are wondering about the cleats, these are Kyler Murray cleat. I don't know. They look sick with these Ravens jerseys, though. Honestly, it's one of my favorite color combos ever, and I'm going for a contested one. And right there underneath my player icon, you saw that gold light up. That was the call for it. Wasn't a particularly good route, nor was I really open, but just because like calling for the ball gives you such a big boost. It feels worth it. Green. Ooh, sauce gardener. Sauce gardener on the Colts. Played some real good defense on that. Probably shouldn't have called for that one. Got a little greedy. Going to go with the wheel route. Oh, who's on me? Third and 10. We're getting nothing right now. Now, with my film study ability, I can see what the linebackers are doing on these plays. We know it's a zone. I might just run underneath. Oh, do it. That's a beautiful route, dude. I love seeing the zones. Gives you such an incredible opportunity to see what's going on. Now, I will say Madden Superstar defensively is so much better because you can get abilities where you can see what play they're going to run. I really wish college had that. Like when you're playing free safety or middle linebacker or corner, sometimes it's really boring cuz nothing happens. But when you can see, oh, dot almost. When you can see what play the offense is going to run, it's so much more fun. It's kind of like cheating. But like if you know they're running an inside zone and you can shoot that gap like a freak and just blow it up, I think that's so much fun. I've always enjoyed that about Madden Superstar and kind of frustrated Kyler's never had it. It makes college defense a lot more boring. But it's second and 10 here. We're tossing a block. Baitman goes down. I've got sauce gardener on me. Is this man coverage? I feel like I want to go up for one. Oh, just give me the dig money. That's Damn it. I was breaking some tackles, too. Great improv running, they say. Wear and tear is active, though. 14 to 14 trying to get in the end zone here. Keeping that drive alive right there was huge. That was third and nine right there. And just give me something simple. Oh. Oh, I'm in. Oh, shook off a tackler, ran over the safety. It wasn't pretty, but it's my first ever NFL touchdown. My first true NFL touchdown, but damn, the Colts instantly tie it up. It's 21 to 21. By the way, look at those college stats. That's a third round tight end somehow. Criminal. Genuinely criminal. First and 10, 211. Let's see what we got here. That was really ugly, but it ended up working hilariously. With the crazy amount of abilities that are now in Madden Superstar, you're going to be so much better than you've ever been, if that makes sense. Like genuinely, if I played this for five seasons, I would be so disgustingly OP as I miss a wideopen catch right there. Okay, that's not doing me any justice, but that's okay. We're moving the ball really well right now. Second and 10. Just keep taking the easy ones. I got to keep these drives alive. Beautiful. I am hoping to get man coverage eventually. Take something deep. I'll take this. Oo. Oh, good block, Mark Andrews. Oh my god. Mark Andrews just sat. Sauce Gardner on his ass. Where's that Charvarius Ward? They've got some good corners in Indie. Charvarious Ward is seven, I'm pretty sure. And Sauce is number one. There's Marky Mark. A minute 29. We're in such a good spot right here. I'm just going to be MM blocker. First and goal. This ball's going to Rashad Baitman. Dererick Henry's going to block, too. Should I go out and get on Sauce here? Oh, I totally missed my block. That was entirely my fault, coach. I'm so sorry. Although Indy's running out of timeouts. It's only second and goal. We could get another touchdown. It's pretty much game over, right? Just give me the easy one. Ooh, tough catch. Got clobbered for it. Just need one more completion to keep the clock ticking. Tyler Loop will give us a lead with almost no time on the clock. should be able to win this game. Do it. Oh, what Lamar do? Fourth and goal on the one. Now, unlike college, you cannot watch what your offense does. So, I'm just putting this up to the gods. And we got to see. I assume we go Tyler Loop field goal here with no time left. And then Indie just can't score. 24 to 21. [laughter] Yes, sir. Hey, Danny Dimes. Can't believe it. Oh my god. He looks like he's going to commit a crime. Eight receptions, 99 yards, and a touchdown in my NFL debut. That's pretty badass. That is a lot of quests done. I got a lot of XP from that. We are earning so many skill points. Like, it's kind of crazy. We already got six more in core, seven more in physical, two more in mental. For core, I have unlocked sticky fingers silver tier, so I'm definitely going to go with that first. Same thing with iron grip silver tier. This is holding on to passes and breaking tackles. Sticky fingers is literally just catching anything. So, I love a good blanket ability where you don't got to think very hard about it. And then with two left, I wouldn't mind 81 break tackle. I guess I'll take run blocking. I can't believe I'm upgrading my run blocking, but whatever. For physicals, my speed is as fast as it can be without a cat breaker. Going to need a cat breaker to go up to 99. Stamina is shockingly important. I'm going to take my stamina up to 90. I want to be able once I'm a starter to play full games at max. Our week two game is another moment. I'm still not the starter and we're basically just on the Saints, which is kind of a nice moment. So, I just get to come in and do his best I can with pretty much no risk. I think this would be a great game to like chuck some serious downfield passes, try out some green catches, see how crazy we can get with it, cuz what do I have to lose here? Like, just give me this Lamar. Ah, he does not hang on to that ball for a while. Huh? I was about to say, do I get a route here? Ooh, turning up field. Good work. Good work. Yo, Jonah Sinker, what are you doing? Yo, he's like humping me. He was lowkey humping my Cam Jordan is on me. That's a good matchup. OH, HE MISSED. OH, DAMN. A lot just happened. Yo, you want to put 40-year-old Cam Jordan on the 22year-old tight end? I may already be the fastest tight end in the league. Isn't that crazy to think about? I have 90 speed or maybe 93. I might be the fastest screen. [screaming] And it's working. Let me tell you, it's working. I got to get some new celebrations, though. They do make you buy celebrations with creds in this game. And the default celebrations suck ass. They're so trash. I got to get some new ones. I'm doing the fake hatback zone boot. I'm letting Lamar get a rep. Good block. Another one. Oh, damn. That play is actually like that play is so good for no reason. We're kind of chewing the clock here. So, it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to get much more here, but do have a nice little wheel route right here. Oh. Oh, WHERE IS EVERYBODY? [laughter] THE SAINTS. The Saints are looking pitiful. What's going on? Oh, like that's my celebration. Like, that's so pitiful, bro. I spent all my creds. I spent all my VC on the Kyler Murray cleat, so now I got to hit that I got to imagine what happened is since there's no time left in the game, um, the Saints must have ran commit and I just got the freest touchdown of my career. Hey, hey, just a little poverty touchdown never hurt nobody. I'm going to make my whole career as a rookie off of poverty touchdowns. Clean up, duty. Ooh, now here is a super important game. Move up the depth chart. Injury on the field. Washed ass old ass Mark Andrews tore his ACL. It's about damn time. And the team is relying on you to fill in for the rest of the game. Sorry, guys. Every once in a while, I just have a full-blown aneurysm trying to read something. But don't clown me until you try it. How many of you still read out loud? Half of you can't even read. Now, there's an essential thing we got to do in Superstar, and that's make the playoffs. It's actually something I really struggled to do in previous years of Superstar because when you're on a bad team, it just felt like there's nothing you could do. But I tell you what, this is the easiest I have ever had it in a Superstar because the Ravens are so good. Like, if you just boot up a franchise sim, nine times out of 10, the Ravens are going to the playoffs cuz they're a really good team. And I'm like benefiting from that right now. And it's so awesome. And damn, I was in a pit right there. Oh, we're moving the ball. Has a tight end Oh. Oh, Lamar, give me a deep one. Hey, no, I greed that, coach. I agreed that. That should be a catch. Has an NFL tight end ever won MVP in league history. Someone will have to do the math on that for me, but I got to imagine the answer's no. And even if it isn't, I'm doing it. The only problem with being, you know, a tight end or a wide receiver is if you're in line to win MVP. Oo, great blocking. If you're in line to win MVP, it means that your quarterback is probably also in line to win MVP. And Lamar is digging a hole for the Cowboys after a crazy run on top of my amazing blocking. So, yeah, I got to imagine if we keep having an awesome season like this, it's going to be me versus Lamar Jackson for the league's MVP. I'm hoping that, you know, Lamar's already got an MVP. Okay, so he can piss off and they can just give it to me. That's my hope. Okay, I am the primary. Love being the primary here. Lamar checks it down to Dererick Henry who gets a good three yards. That's the other thing. Like I don't have to worry about this team is just so nasty. I can't believe I thought I was going to be on Cleveland. Literally sweating my ass. Oh. Oh, Lamar. It's a I don't know how to get the Madden quarterback to throw a lob in college. You can tap B to get a lob. You cannot in this. I think I would have preferred lob there because I'm so fast. But honestly, there's a great ball from Lamar. A great green bean. See, EVEN THAT LIKE I [screaming] OH. OH, COME GET ME, CALEB. Let's go. Oh my god. Never doubt Lamar. Lamar is throwing the most perfect balls. This is the best career mode ever, bro. Oh my god. I love this. That's a dot. back shoulder fade, dunked on his dumb ass, then I broke the tackle coming down and Caleb DS couldn't even touch me. The fact that you can upgrade your physicals makes this 100 times better. And I I can't stress that enough. Like last year, my speed right now would be 78 or 80. But like, it does make sense that a young rookie tight end out of Ohio State could be really fast. And Caleb DS in this game has 88 speed. I am literally that much faster than Caleb DS right now. That's why he couldn't catch me. And um last year that's not a touchdown. This year it is. I am glazing. I am genuinely glazing. I think Superstar uh is so much better because of these new abilities and the new way that you upgrade your player. Now I'm still pissed that you can't run no huddle. I'll never stop on EA for that, guys. Like please. No huddle is so basic. Ooh. Make a good move. Ooh. Make a good move. Time out. 15 seconds. I mean, if I get a corner route here, something relatively deep. Oh, wa. Why am I so open? WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. WHAT? That was so green. I'm so confused. Well, a tough drop right there. But we don't have to let that define us. Oh my god. Yes, we do. Clearly, it defines us. The meter is very inconsistent. I can't figure it out sometimes. Sometimes it feels so simple and other times it's like I don't know. Third and one here. Big play. Give me that check down Lamar. Oh, what a bad drive, dude. What a bad like backto-back plays. I got to lock in. Oh, Dallas, you've That might have been a touchdown if I got the ball. This is an interesting route right here. Not one you see very often. Wow. I like cannot green right now. At least that was yellow and I catch it and go with the wheel route again. Full motion. Oh. Oh, Lamar. Lamar, I was so tutty. I was so a tutty post. Oh, okay. Okay, Rashan Gary, you didn't have to do all that, bro. Good fight. Fourth and three. Not enough. Third and three. Big conversion for us here. I don't think I'm open. Oh, thank you, Lamar. Love having Lamar. What is that new animation where they just start humping each other? I'm switching this up. That was a pretty route. I mean, it wasn't actually. It was an ugly, disgusting, non-real route, but it was perfectly open. It's kind of what I was going for. Ooh, I'm open, mister. What the just happened? That was weird. I didn't get any penalties for dropping it, but I don't really know what happened. Hey, green. Another big one. 10 catches, 195 yards. Damn. Sometimes you just got to call for the ball at every opportunity. Damn, good tackle. I didn't think he was going to get me like that. I'm turning this into a corner route. Can I break the tackle? I can. What the hell was that, dude? What's going on? That might have the most bizarre broken tackle I've ever gotten. My wear and tear. I'm leaking, bro. My wear and tear is cooked. This has touchdown potential. Ooh. Why did my X factor just activate? Wear and tear has me at minus 8 speed. They said my X factors activated, which My Xactor is activated, but I'm not glowing. Why would I not be glowing? That's like the coolest part of the X Factor. That's got to be wrong, right? Damn, my wear and I'm dead from this wear and tear. I've got minus a billion everything. Apparently, my double me is activated. But maybe it's because you know how there were three tiers. I don't know if you guys saw that. Okay, that was the most piss poor running angle I've ever seen. How you did not score that as criminal? There are three tiers to double me, the X factors this year. So, I can actually upgrade my my double me. Maybe that's why. Like, look under Derrick Henry. He's got a very clear X there. And he just got stuffed on that play. But yeah, I mean, if you look in the bottom right, it says I have double me and it's supposedly activated. Well, let's see if they learn their less. Okay, that was actually a nasty move. I gave a little outside inside tech and I'm wide open for the worst celebration ever. Impressive game today. What was the key for my success? I'm goated with the sauce. Take credit myself. I'm only about winning. 14 catches for 238. Am I happy with my performance? What kind of dumbass question is that, bro? I probably broke a record. Do I have strong chemistry with Lamar? We work hard for it. I respect Lamar. Are you kidding me? That's my goat. After that, I got a meeting with coach. What kind of starter are we getting? What do you mean? You drafted me. Bozo, the best one on the field. Well, we start out the season undefeated and our week four game is against the Tennessee Titans and I think I can. Can I change their uniforms? Oh, that's such a bummer. I want to put Titans in their rivalries. Color rush are interesting, dude. The new Ooh, those are nasty, dude. The new Ravens jerseys are so sick. I'm wearing these. Oh my god. Nice little home game for Matt Meeks and the Baltimore Ravens. Things we love to see. Okay, follow the plan. Offense has a greatly reduced fumble chance. I like that. Taking on Tennessee. They're one and two. I mean, dude, we could pull off an undefeated season. I actually think we could cuz as a superstar, you do have a lot of impact on the game plan. What helmet am I wearing? What bozo ass helmet do I have on? I look like a cornball. Yeah, layout safeties just for fun. Dude, I don't know what's happened here, but if you look at my whole team, they've all got that clean helmet on and I've got this goofy ass bowling ball on my head. Oh, I'm not supposed to be on this camera angle, but it could work. I have to address this helmet situation next game. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm going to address it right now after that drop. All right. I still don't match my helmet with my team, but I have a better helmet on. Whoa, great route, Matt Meeks. I mean, really spectacular. I also like the Titans jerseys. I think a lot of teams in the league over the last couple years have gotten just banger uniforms. Why not Lamar? Why not me, Lamar? Don't tell them about the first. Yeah, buddy. My god, these Yo, why you talking buddy? cuz you're one and two. Got a little motion tack going here, bro. Every time I see motion, I'm doing the wheel route. Oh, Lamar, you just got to huck that puppy up to You got to huck that puppy up to dad. And I'm going to let it go, dummy. Oh, Lamar. Lamar, don't mess it up this time. Well, I mean, that's a checkown. Oh. [laughter] Oh my god. I said it. Oh, you got to love a stiff arm. If you don't like a stiff arm, you don't like football. Oh my goodness. I just raw dogged him. Why did I I just get an OPI. I just got an OPI on that. That is my first penalty in the National Football League. First penalty in National Football League. Offensive pass interference. We take those. See if I can get Lamar to just float me one. Hey. Oh my god, dude. I actually break so many tackles. I can't wait to get loaded up with more abilities, too. It's going to only get crazier. Second and eight. Oh, this is a touchdown. If we get the snap off, it's a touchdown. Second and eight. Big play. Big play. Matt Meeks is hot. That's a great route. Good catch. Third and three. How do I get myself in the end zone here? We got three receptions for 47 yards in the first quarter alone. And that's a tutty. I'm too big. Oh, wait. It wasn't a touchdown, but it became one. Yo, celebrate. What was I doing? I was just aura farming. That was a nasty touchdown. Also, to be clear, the difficulty I play on is all pro and then four-minute quarters and then there are no sliders. There's no sliders in Madden Superstar. So, there's nothing that you can adjust. Honestly, they just made your superstar a lot more OP this year. That's what I'm noticing. Anyway, I can't believe Lamar had time to get that off to me. He must have been scrambling like a madman. I got clobbered, too. But yeah, you're honestly just more OP this year. Oh, fun. We got a little block delay route. So, I'm going to block for a hot sack. Just give him Holy Holy Holy [laughter] I was supposed to do a block delay and I end up on my ass. That's like the If that's your route and you're the tight end, that is literally the last thing that you can get caught doing. Straight up. Should be a nice little window, but I goofed it. Darn it. I hadn't caught one with a meter in a while. See, like that. Like that was Oh, stay up. Oh, I needed one more. Baitman, you got to get out of my way, brother. Baitman, you just got to let you got to let the young butt cook. She's had the old bull. Now she wants the young calf. Ow. Ow. Okay, Cody Barton is lowkey getting the better of me. He's kind of uh got him my ass. All right, let's give Derrick Henry a good block here. Yes, sir. Derek. Oh, Tennessee's getting stiff armed. I can tell you that. Oh, easy one. Just take it. 20 SECONDS. NO HUDDLE. LET'S GO, LAMAR. LET'S GO, LAMAR. TIMEOUTS ARE A MYTH. YEAH, I know they're not. I'm calling it. Also, no huddle doesn't really work. So, I will say the fact that there's that no huddle glitch doesn't really matter because this team is so good. I mean, maybe in the playoffs it'll matter. Oh, that was a nasty route. That actually was nasty. As stupid as that looked, I froze Barton just enough. And Lamar gave me a perfect ball. First and 10. Big route. Lamar's going to put it up. I'm green. Yeah, go tell him. COME ON, CODY BARTON. COME TALK to me again, buddy. Yeah, walk away. Walk away. That was a dot from Lamar. A big Dude, I got a up on that catch. That's why we upgraded our jumping to 90. I got up. Oh, that's contested. Intercepted. Alante Taylor. And me and Lamar got to flag him down. Man, I'm sorry, Lamar. I mean, I called for the contestant, but that's on me. I got to be in front of that ball if I'm going to call for that. Could our first loss of the season come to the Tennessee Titans? That doesn't seem right. It's 14 to 14 right now. I've got the wheel route again, which I really do like. I like this play. Oh, I'm so open. Big truck. Damn, hooker. Once again, the hooker gets the better of me. Sick. First and 10. Jeff Simmons in coverage, by the way. That's a dot. Lamar, that's a dot. Good Second and 14. I've got a post out here. O, just like my college days. Give me one, Lamar. Ooh, he's going to take off big time. BIG TIME. [screaming] OH, that was green though. Wow, the ball got knocked out. That looks so green. That would have been a crazy highlight. Hey, we get three out of it anyway. And we're back on offense. We can win the game here. Play action slide here. Let's go block for Marky Mark. Let's go block the guy right into him. I'm a hater. I'm a hater. Second and four. Hey, there's my X Factor. There's my X Factor actually lighting up. So, last game is just a bug. It's just a visual bug. I got to go get a catch then. I got double me activated. So, we do have that ability that makes double me easier to activate in the fourth quarter. And I think that's why it kind of just keeps popping up now. But this should just That's DPI ref. I've got double me. I greened that. He's all over me, sucking me off, slapping my ass. That's a DPI ref. Just cuz I liked it doesn't make it not DPI. I guess I'm blocking on this play. Holy I still got to block off. Give me a pad, bro. I got double me. AR, we got to go use this. Can't waste a double me without a Yeah, you can. Oh my god, it's Barton, too. And it's 14 to 17. I might have just sold the entire game. This is no bueno. Tennessee got a field goal. 17 to 17. There's 34 seconds. We have no timeouts. Holy Oh no, we have three timeouts. Oh, very different. We have three timeouts. I don't have double man anymore, but that was a myth. It did. Oh my god. Why is this play so good, dude? These motion wheel routes are broken. Straight up broken. I think I am three for three on touchdowns on those plays. OH MY GOD, DUDE. THAT IS actually probably the best play I've ever found. That's insane. That is a gamewinner, no time left. Presumably, unless Tennessee pulls up a miracle. No, that's a game winner, no time left. Dude, those plays are nuts. Yeah, you like that Cody Barton, you I've got a new rival. His name's Cody Barton. That's crazy. I'm almost a team captain, boys. I'm 100x away from being a team captain. 12 receptions, 210 yards, three touchdowns. We are balling. They came in the locker room to glaze me. They're lucky I wasn't changing. Then they'd really be glazing me. I'm going to stay humble. I'm going to go with a safe response. Some more big upgrades inbound. I'm going to take my break tackle and trucking up to 87 each. And I'm going to take catching and catching traffic to 96 and 93, respectively. I got 15 in physicals. That's crazy. Okay, we're going to max out stamina. It should help out with the wear and tear. Wear and tear has still been brutal. Wear and tear's been whooping my ass. Durability, toughness, and strength probably both matter. So, let's bring these puppies as far as we can go. I'm up to an 87 overall already. Oh my god. Okay, let's keep going here. So, film study. If I spend six here, I'll be able to see the art of linebackers and corners on third and fourth down, which I do kind of like. Persistent is so nasty, though. I'm going to go persistent silver and locked in silver. I'm going to develop these. So, now I'm harder to knock out of the zone in the second half, and I'm easier [music] to enter the zone in the second half. The final tier of this is just for the entire game. So, it's basically like getting double me unlocked for the whole game very easily. That's the whole point. And then hard to knock out of it. Not quite there yet. Need a few more mentals. So with specialties, we're going to get more of these, too. I kind of want to be more of a menace in the open field. I'm catching the ball pretty easily. I just want to break tackles. Let's go with tackle breaker. So shake hit off and then snip out of it. So pretty much every relatively weak tackle we're going to break. So modern improved chance to break dives, cuts, strip, and hit sticks. I mean, it's basically everything, right? The final tier of this gives extreme fatigue penalties, which is actually really good because if you get extreme backlash fatigue penalties on defenders over the course of a game, you will literally just run right around them. It'll be the third quarter and you'll be staring right at a free safety linebacker. No skill mode needed. You just run around them because they're so fatigued. That's how good Backlash has been. Hopefully, it's that good this year, too. There's so many good specialties, though. Like, look at this. Route artist receivers ability can build their routes before the snap. Like any route. Highlight reel request one-handed catch animations. What does that even mean? How do you request it? I don't know. I'm excited to try for that one cuz I want to figure out what the hell it is. Call for lofts. We're very close to and I I should get that soon. The strength of the pass when calling for the ball. I mean, I've been asking for a loft. So, presumably I'm going to need call for lofts. I'm one skill point away from that. So, we're very close. Message from Audrey. Who the hell is Audrey? What does she want with me? Hey, stranger. Remember me? You want to clap my cheeks as I play for the Ravens? Shut up, My god. I told this to get and my goat legacy score went up. Oh, I'm I guess I'm the goat. I guess I'm the goat. Ravens versus Falcons. We're 4-0 right now, baby. Let's take a look around the league. Oh, Cleveland is 4-0. What? Leading the league in receiving yards by a pretty wide margin right now. Passing yards right now is sitting with Cam Ward, Stafford, and Herbert. Sunday night prime time game two. I like it. Look at the Falcon. Look at this Falcon with his GoPro. What's the Falcons m What's the name of the Falcons mascot? Sunday night prime time game. Nothing better than a Sunday night prime time NFL game, baby. Nothing better. I assume when you're watch No, when you're watching this video, I don't think the NFL season has started yet. Depends when you're watching it, but I'm patiently waiting. I'll say that. All right, let's keep cooking them. Oh, I'm open. Okay, checks it low. He's way more open than me. Damn, I just on Xavier Watts. Xavier Watts took a big one. All right, little bird team off. I'm actually open. I'll get a little something out of this. Take that. Matt Meeks last week 12 210 and three. I hope you got him in fantasy. What kind of fantasy statline is that? That's like 48 fantasy points. Not quite. 49. I don't know. It's an insane game. 54. Hey. Hey. Oh my god, I just got impact block super loss. That's what it just said to me. It just called me a chud. It said you didn't just lose your impact block. You super lost it. Although I made up for it with a little tow drag right there. I made up for it, dude. I just need to pull out that one play, bro. The like inevitable play. I don't have access to call my own plays or check formations or call recent plays. So, for now, I just got to hope that it pops up as an option. It's already popped up a few times, though. Like, it doesn't seem that infrequent for the Ravens. Third and 10. I can see the linebackers. I should be That was interesting. That linebacker was in zone. He man me up there. Defense audible. I mean, this is a motion wheel route. I don't know if it's going to work. Oh. Oh, Lamar. Lamar number 12 is like 5 foot 10, bro. Just >> Oh, Lamar, you know you wanted to, Lamar. Second and six here. Little block and release. Oh my god. Who is number 12? Is that AJ Terrell? He just got ran over. Going to go with a little Derek Henry run here. And I'm just going to be mm good boy blocker. Yeah, buddy. Wow. Hell of a shot by that linebacker, but we got there. Play action. Jailbreak screen is always a really funny play. I wonder if I can abandon my post and go help this out. I got too I got too caught up in the mud, but we still got eight yards on that play. Second and two. Mm blocker once again. Derek Henry gets us third inches. They are not giving me any pass play options. We have no choice but to be a blocker right now. I don't mind a homie for my team. I don't think Oh, Dererick Henry did get that. Nice. Very slow game here, but hopefully we can get this ball in the end zone. Oh my god, I'm so open. I don't know what happened there. I don't I don't know what the Atlanta Falcons were doing on that one. I'm excited to unlock audibles so I can turn every play into a potentially a good play. But on a few of these, you just got to be a homie for Derrick Henry. Okay, second and five here. Clock's ticking. We've got two timeouts and a lead. Oh, do it. Do it. Dude, do you actually have eyes in the back of your head? Divine Diablo just made a ridiculous play. I don't know how the hell he pulled that off. Give me a freebie, Lamar. Let's go make something happen. Fighters fight. I took out a kneecap on the end of that, too. Oh, you're cooked. Oh, you're cooked. Getting some big yards here. First and 10. Oh, just do it, Lamar. JUST DO IT. OH, ANOTHER ONE. DO WE HAVE A TIMEOUT? OH, WE DON'T HAVE A TIMEOUT. RUNNING FLOOD. CAN WE GET IT OFF? Good touchdown. Bang. With literally no time left. With literally no time left. Hey, that's actually clean, bro. 14 to 11, though. This game is certainly not over. I'm going to take something low and see if we can make something out of it. I'll take 9.5. Ain't nothing wrong with that. WHY NOT? OH. OH. [screaming] >> [laughter] [gasps] >> SHAKE IT OFF. Silver tear. My goodness. Xactor activated. That was insane. Double me activated. Why not, Lamar? There's a flag. Don't tell me that's on me. Don't tell me that's on me. DPI. He got a DPI and he got dunked on. If we decline it, I get the stats. So, we're going to decline it. You know, three touchdowns, 10 receptions, 152. Let's get those yard numbers up. Do it again, Lamar. Whoa. Once again, we get the meter bug right there. Dude, the meter is such an incomplete feature of this game. I'm going to be honest. It's an awesome feature, but it bugs out way too much to be consistent. Like, on these last two catches, it's just completely stuttered. Okay. Well, that's got to be DPI, too. They can't stop me, son. Motion jet touch pass. I'm throwing a block. Baitman get some huge yards on that. Very good motion jet touch pass. Baitman. Now let's see. Paul Allen. Double me activated. We're in the second half. Give me one. Lamar. Oh you Lamar, you know I'm him. You don't even got to think about it. Interested in this play here. Little motion RPO alert screen. That's not even remotely open. Just a little motion. So I can go blow the safety up. Damn, these are some bummer play calls here. I'm not getting involved at all. That's so not true. I have 11 receptions for 170 yards. Fourth and inches here. Kind of a big rep. And I don't think we got that, dude. Got to give it to the Atlanta Falcons. They came very close to winning this game, but they have no timeouts left and we've got the ball. So with one QB Neil, it's all over. That's a big win. Our next game is against Cleveland who is 4 and one and actually like a serious competitor I guess. So I do really want to win this game. Rivalry game. Cleveland Browns. Good start. Tell him at me. Fight his ass. Punch him in the face. First and 10. That's actually clean. Nice. Nice little pocket right there. Go talk to him. Hey, where's Deshun Watson? Deshaawn Watson must be gunslinging if they're four in one. Oh boy, am I open. Yeah, buddy. I'm up. Wessinger takes me down, but I'll hit it again. Hey, I'm moving the chains. I am aggressively moving the chains right now. First and 10. Little motion here. Can we get in the end zone? I might just wheel route this. The wheel route is way too good. Green [screaming] bang. I don't know what's going on with my celebrations. Wheel routes are crazy, I guess. Damn, they're chewing out Quinn Sean Judkins. They're chewing him out. Why not? Lamar Lamar's got other plans. That's why I'm out on an island here. There's a chance I get single coverage. Oh my god. Kind of. Hey. Hey, I'm lethal. I think I could really win the Heisman. That's a Heisman. I could really win MVP. Sorry, I'm a casual. Sorry, I'm a casual. Sorry, I'm a casual. Dot. Broken tackle. Got lit up. Still sick though. Let's go get another touchdown. Double mess activated for the first time IN THE FIRST HALF. OH, you just got to throw it to me. Lam broken. Get in there. I'm in. I'm in. Matt Meeks. Dude, I got to get a new celebration. Oh my god, it's so ass. Take a look at this. We ugly shake off this first one and barely stay in bounds. I can't believe we stayed in bounds on that and then we just fought through it. Well, this one's coming to a close. 21 to 10. They are out of timeouts and this would certainly be a nail in the coffin if I can put in a touchdown right here. Why not though? Why not put another one in when they're not GOING TO GUARD YOU in the middle of the field? I'm serious you guys. The best opportunities you get as wide receiver tight end is when your team is winning and the opponent's defense just run commits. They do it so often. You just get a free touchdown no matter how far down the field you are. Just like that, baby. Ravens get another big win. We are undefeated. I do want to take a look at our superstar powers. So, you can trade teammates and trade for a player. That requires some levels with the front office, which I don't have any of those yet. I assume I got to win like playoff games to get that. I could demand a trade at agent level four. I'm very close to that, but I love this team. I don't think I'm going to do that. You can simulate games with your head coach at level seven and I'm pretty close to that too. And you can actually retire when you have level one biographer. Interesting. And then my sphere of influence is all the people I've unlocked things with. So with Jesse Mentor, I've unlocked being tightad one pass protection and hot routes. I now have hot routes. So audibles is next and after that is simulating. I'm level seven with Lamar which is huge. So I actually got Lamar an ability. He starts games with higher composure. And it's almost the same thing here with Derrick Henry at level seven. It'll say character collected. I'm not sure what that means. Undefeated season on the line. I have no intentions of losing, but Cincinnati, it's got seven already. We're at home. Our first loss can't come at home, right? Oh, I'm open. [snorts] Lamar doesn't find it. He'll check it down. Nothing wrong with that. And you got to love that start to a game. Second and six. I'm going mesh here. I really hope I get manned up. Whoa, that was weird mesh. I went under the offensive line, but it kind of worked. Never done that before. All right, listen. The Bengals are not playing around. I guess I am. That was green. Come on, Lamar. All right, let's recalibrate. It's still seven to zero. Not a great start. And I'm just looking for somebody to block. I'm ass. I'm ass. Rocking exactly zero yards of offense right now. The first quarter is already in the books. That's very unlike us. A eight flowers. Doesn't always have to be me. This team is good enough that I really do not need to carry us. And that's what I love about it. But I still want to get some yards. Play action seams. MARKY MARK. BIG CATCH. I like to think I pushed him forward about a yard or so there. I like to think that. Oh, this is the play. Or at least it's one of them. It's a motion wheel route. Dude, I swear to God, my touchdown ratio on these plays is insane. What is Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Replay that. My meter was quite literally in the deadnuts middle of green. What the was that? I am certain mine was in the middle of green there. I literally It wasn't even fringe. It wasn't even on the border. That made no sense. That was like That catch I just did was the same one as last time. That was crazy. Actually, no. You know what? My amazing editor, Brody, is going to replay that catch and we'll see real time. Am I full of or did it actually like teleport? Oh, I just put Lamar in a bad spot. Sinci is going to score off that. I'm having a really tough game right now. They get 14. Tight end attack. A glorious play. Hope we get manned up here. Definitely not. I don't know if this is open. It's probably best they didn't throw it to me. We have no timeouts here. Clock is ticking. We're going to have to no huddle after this. Let's see if I can get us some yards. Oh, yes, I can. Good ball, Lamar. All the way in. Give me a spike. Give me a spike. Hey. No. What is this stupid? No. I was going to SPIKE IT. 14 TO 14. OOH, the block of a century. Oh, can I get break it? Break it. Damn it. I if he broke that tackle, it's touchdown because I had his next block. Sometimes you got to trust your boy. First and 10. I would love to go undefeated. I've never gone undefeated in a superstar. Second and 10. Let's keep up with it. Oh, I was so open. Dererick Henry got a lot though. Third and seven here. I don't like it so much. We got to get this. Let's find a way to be open. Oh, maybe. What kind of routes were those? Why would my route be a ding if there's someone directly in front of me? I actually ran the route it was that was intended. I should have ran my own route. Ooh, good checkdown. It's a very evenly matched game here. First and goal. This a wicked play. Is this my route? Oh, it's motion. Oh, good move. Wait. Oh, Derek Henry. Is that Harrison Smith? I think that's Harrison Smith on the Bengals who just got completely deleted. Great move. Wow. Oh, I have no route. Lamar, I can hot route. Yeah, buddy. Second and three. We got a wide open Rashad Baitman. We're getting ready to put this game away, too. Dude, it feels like in the fourth quarter we just put every game away. Like, this didn't feel like anything too crazy. But now here in the fourth quarter, we take a big lead. Z Flowers going absolutely nowhere. Here we go. Second and 11. Was that Sexter Dexter? No. Was it was Jonathan Allen? Jonathan Allen in a QB spy just intercepted Lamar. That's brutal. That's my fault. Defense kind of clutched up. I don't think it's going to matter. Defense clutched up big time. Motion marking mark. A lot of dudes on this side. Andrews gets it. Undoubtedly one of my slowest games. I only have two catches, but they are both for touchdowns, so that's cool. Good blocks. Great blocks. Speed option. You guys know I love a good speed option. Let's see how Lamar runs this. Holy That was cracked. Nice work. Undoubtedly my least impressive performance, but our win streak stays alive. 7 to zero. Seven to zero. 7-0. We win 21 to 14 against the Bengals. Joe Burrow can't believe it. Our next game is against the Buffalo Bills, but they are really struggling. They're two and four. Should have some crazy upgrades to rock with here. We've got 11 core, 10 physical, one mental, and two special with one more for X Factor. Give me level two double me. I have no idea what that does, if anything. I guess there's bronze tier double me, silver tier, and gold tier. I really don't know. That's completely new to me. I could get 99 catching and sticky fingers gold. Definitely going to do that. I'm going to take my catching traffic up to 99 and I'm two away from gold tier iron grip. I now have 99 catching and 99 catching traffic. I'm an 89 overall. We are halfway through my rookie year. This is insane. The progression is so much better. Why can't Road to Glory College be like this? I mean, this is absurd. This is what I would love Road to Glory College to be like. They killed it, Madden. They really did. This is an excellent system. And um I don't know what the hell they're doing in college. Okay, so we've got 10 here. I'm going to take change direction up to 81. I'm going to take agility up to 81. And I've got one more point to spend in the physicals tree, I suppose. No, I actually can't spend it. Nothing costs only one. But wow. I mean, we're making so much progress right now. I guess I was wrong on specialies. Apparently, I have five to spend here. Call for loss. I've got my first rare or platinum tier ability with call for lofts. That is so sick. I'm really excited to use that. Influence the strength of the pass when calling for the ball. So, I assume this means if I tap A, I get a lob, and if I hold A, I get a bullet. I assume that's how this works. Remains to be seen. I think the next thing I probably want to do would be probably highlight reel improved midair and spectacular catching cuz if I can get this up to nine, dude, I could do like one hand aggressive catch snags. It would be insane what I could do. Although tackle breaker's close, so I think we finish off tackle breaker first and then move the highlight reel and then maybe chain mover. Chain mover is kind of crazy. Automatically reach out for first downs. It's going to be pretty gnarly. I'm super excited. We're really making some progress. Like way faster than last year. Way faster than I ever anticipated. And what do you know? I can demand a trade now. Very cool. All right, gentlemen. This is where we leave off on our second episode. I wanted to do a full season, but I'm already over 2 hours into this video. A full season video would be far too long. This is way more fun than I expected. We've gone from a rising star to a team captain. Our next milestone is as a cornerstone player. Then we're a star up to a superstar. elite all-time great legend goat. You get the idea. All right, boys. I love you. I'm excited to do some more. I'll see you in the next video. Peace. [music] >> [music]
