Our Junior Year At Ohio State! RTG Ep. #8

tight end road to glory. I'M GOING BE HONEST, GENTLEMEN. THERE'S no easy way to say this, and this may come as a shock, but Electronic Arts is genuinely horrible at their jobs. I started my career in high school, and in our first season, we won the Heisman. We've been to back-to-back national championships, and I am currently the greatest tight end in human history with more catches, yards, and touchdowns than anyone in human history. And I'm projected to go in the seventh round. So, not only is this this massive bug where as you play better and better, you your projection gets worse and worse, but this entire experience has sucked major ass. I'm just going to be honest with you. I know how excited you guys are for new games, and I am too, but it's clear they ruined this progression system so that they could milk every last dollar out of you. That's number one. I'm in the greatest tight end of all time ever, and I'm an 87 overall going into my junior year. I have 86 speed. Take it back. I have 88 speed. Nice. Last season ended in overtime in the national championship against Oregon where I watched my CPU quarterback throw unironically non-youtuber title the worst pass I've ever seen. First play of overtime, four wideopen wide receivers threw a ball that a 14-year-old girl would not throw. And trust me, I've got a lot of intel. EA, I'll stop making those jokes the second you remove your head from your [ __ ] [ __ ] But the reason I'm at a rock and a hard place is I'm already enduring the allegations of stopping series. So I'll make my commitment to you right now. I will finish tight end season road to glory because I don't like to think of myself as somebody who starts something and doesn't finish it. I'd like to beat those allegations. So as we end our sophomore year here, it's time to look to the future and decide where we're headed in the transfer portal. Naturally, we're going to have a lot of offers. Somehow it's now, you know what's actually crazy? It's calling me a three star now because my legacy score is down. Even though I started out as a fivestar, my legacy score is only down because this game is a pile of dog [ __ ] It literally gets to this point where you get over a certain amount of legacy score and it just goes down. It'll be like won a national championship and your legacy score goes down. Like I after it's it it breaks after the first year because I think that's as far as EA beta tested this. This game should be 0 on Steam. It should have a beta label on it and you should let everybody play it for free while you figure it out. You have an extra credit opportunity, Mary. I'm not even with a [ __ ] college, Mary. It's What are you [ __ ] talking about? I'm in the transfer portal. I declined Notre Dame's offer. What the [ __ ] are you yapping about? An extra Oh, thanks, Mary. Am I taking Am I taking summer classes? Mary, go [ __ ] yourself. Where are we headed is the question. Whoever gives me the most skill points. Ryan Day and Ohio State are maxing out that skill point streak and leadership and almost brand. I just feel like I do that. Feel like a surefire way to get the ball and succeed. Ryan Day's record is 115 and 13. I think Ohio State Oh, he certainly went to the playoffs. [ __ ] it. We're going to Ohio State. Yeah, buddy. What does a maxed out skill points offer look like? I think my last offer was one point. My Notre Dame offer was one point from maximum. Looks like it's roughly 500 skill points. Also guys, look at my projection. Early second round. A week ago, I was a seventh rounder. No football was played. Now I'm an early second rounder. All right. What do we even want to upgrade is the question. I feel like 88 speed 84 XL is pretty good. I feel like strength could be important. Trucking feels nice. We've got good stiff arm. I feel like I'm so lumbering when I have the ball. I'm so lumbering. Literally all I can do is take my agility and change direction up that doesn't even take my overall up. God, this system is so [ __ ] bad. What the [ __ ] were they thinking, bro? This is why you always see online people always say like, you know, private equity is so [ __ ] up. Private equity swoops in. It's actually, it's so shocked to me because like, how can you [ __ ] it worse than EA was already ruining this game? They found a way. PUBLIC INVESTMENT FUND OF SAUDI [ __ ] ARABIA FOUND A WAY TO [ __ ] YOU HARDER than EA was. Oh my god, guys. My whole NIL deal is going to give me some deep route running 10 release. That's it. Holy [ __ ] Yo, can tell somebody tell the Saudi Arabians to fix a user interface. Holy [ __ ] Actually, if I promise to finish the series out, I can't be in a bad mood the entire time. So, let's settle down. State-of-the-art VR technology. It'll boost my development as a player. What else can it do? If you know what I'm saying. 2500 XP up front for two energy seems like a good trade. Well, I'm just going to force us to the playoffs. This is such a cake. Holy [ __ ] This is like the easiest Ohio State schedule I've ever seen. We have like one tough game that's at I mean, we're at the big house taking on Michigan. Look at this schedule. 20. Beautiful. All right, y'all. Tight end one for the Buckeyes. Number one in the nation. Our first college football playoff game is the Rose Bowl against Missouri. I've stacked up a ton of skill points from this season. I got,765, which really isn't that much. It looks like a lot. Here's the thing. 50/50 feels like mandatory. This is probably the best thing I could get outside of sure hands. Protection from hitsticks is okay. Cutter is okay. Downhill is really fun, too. That's a really fun ability to have, and I think we should have it. But let's go with 15050 upgrade. Now, I need 92 spec catch in order to get gold tier. And I think I want gold tier because then if I'm hot, I'll have platinum tier. So, I need my spectacular catch to go up one, which is going to cost us 105. So, we'll do that next. And then we'll go platinum tier 50. Sorry, gold tier 5050. That takes us down to a,000 skill points. Downhill is fun. I don't know that it's worth it. I think Shurehands probably is worth it. Just to actually have abilities is pretty cool. So, I have gold 50/50 silver sure hands. I think these I think abilities will supersede my rating. So, I think these are more important. This is what I mean is so crazy about this progression system. It's so [ __ ] up. But I just spent 1,800 skill points on one rating and two abilities. So, Shure Hands is now gold tier. 50/50 is gold tier. I could get No, I can't. I can't even afford platinum Shurehands. I can't afford platinum 50/50. I could afford downhill bronze. I guess I will take that to break some extra tackles. I can't afford it any higher than that. I think my ratings my radius kind of have to sit where they are. I think trucking might help. Jumping will because it improves my catch radius. And this is actually not very expensive to upgrade. So, I can take jumping all the way up to 87. With my final 36 skill points, I really can't do anything. Yeah, I can't really do anything with that. So, we're at 89 overall. I mean, my overall didn't go up, yes, but we're so much better. The gold tier 50/50 and gold tier sure hands, especially when I'm hot, is going to make me really nasty. Taking on the Missouri Tigers for the first game you guys get to see on Ohio State. We just got our weekly agenda left. So, I'm in peak physical condition. My GPA is still ass, but um I guess I can work on leadership and we're actually going to have so many skill points here that we can just go into superstar. I've never gotten global phenom nil in any road to glory that I've ever done. So, it' be exciting to see if I can get that to happen. Also, playing well in the playoffs is certainly going to help that. The Missouri Tigers offline warning. How am I offline? You know, shockingly for being Ohio State, we're an 87 overall, but I don't think that matters so much. I think the black uniforms are so sick. I love the alternate Ohio State uniforms. These will look really good against Missou. Let's do this thing. I honestly think like moving forward in Road to Glory, this is probably the best way to do this since you can just force wins and cut out all the fluff. I think that this was a more fun experience this year, progression really felt like it mattered. I think I think it'd be a different story, but since EA put all these eggs into the microtransaction basket and then pulled them, you just now have this totally busted mode, which is a bummer. Also, you got to love that they're doing a [ __ ] UCLA. THEY'RE DOING A UCLA fireworks show because it's the Rose Bowl Stadium except it's Missou versus Ohio State. I mean, it's an EA game. If you look for something to be wrong, you're always going to find it. Let's just enjoy it. Let's use these new abilities. Let's get hot and uh let's move on in the playoffs. Missou's going to start with the ball here. Okie dokie. So, this Ohio State playbook, I haven't got to see it at all quite yet. I think if we get any single coverage look, we just need to call for the ball so that I can test out this sure hands cuz I I'm going to be honest. I think it's going to be disgusting. I think it's going to be so crazy good. Especially sure hands. And see, I'm hot right now, actually, which I assume because of coach. Oh, he see this is what I mean. LET'S FIND OUT. THAT GREEN WINDOW'S THICK. OH, that's actually that's so much bigger. But once the double coverage got there, it was impossible. I need a little more zip on that ball for it to happen. But that actually does have a chance. I'm going to zoom out to this one right here. Play. Oh, give it to me, Julian. Good ball downhill. Yes, sir. That's also one of the good things being on Ohio State is I think you automatically start out hot because of one of Ryan Day's coaching abilities. You just start out these big games hot. I mean, that's so big for us. Let's go get it. Come on. Sure hands. Sure hands pops right there. I do think a good strategy in general is you probably could have you got to get enough ratings to get the abilities, but abilities are so strong. Holy [ __ ] How did we score on that? Abilities are so strong that you can just kind of get away with things. You can get away with having lower relative stats by having sure hands. I kind of wish I'd done this last season now that I'm seeing it in action for the first time. Maybe I'm overblowing it. We're gonna find out, but I don't think I'd have nearly Ooh, did I just I actually just pushed my teammate for that first down. That was pretty sick. You do need a lot of field to go for those lobs. I will say that. I'll take that. I'll take that. Sure hands pops. We get a clean 12 yards. It's hard as a tight end to get that single coverage to really use 50/50 that much. I will say like that's crazy. I don't catch that without Sher Hands. Damn, Platinum Sherand is putting in work right now. Let's go make a play, baby. What a dot. Holy [ __ ] I outstate something else. All right, I called that Julian Saiyan. It's Clark Inu. I'd just be making [ __ ] up. Let's go run a good route, baby. Oh, give me something IN THE BACK. COME ON. Good catch. I can't fight for it. Oh my god. Was that the end of the first or the end of the second? That's the end of the first. Okay. I thought I just royally screwed us. We're good. We're good. Got to call an audible here so that I get a route. Actually, no. You know what? I'm going to be a homie. I'm going to block like a homie here. Good blocks. That's what I get. That's what I get. That's That's why you be greedy always and forever. Now, coach is going to [ __ ] us out. Coach, like, what are you even having a conversation with me for, bro? Go talk to Inku. I was I was blocking. You know, EA thought they cooked when they put those animations in just for them to not work at all. Definitely a frustrating piece of this game. She's getting chewed out by coach for what exactly? Why is coach all up in my grill right now? Good ball. Take a little 15er. I'll just run cluster again. Cluster is kind of nice, especially if I can find a way to like kind of make this a crosser, especially in man coverage. Oh yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Yes, sir. B with big hurdle. Oh no. Downhill. [ __ ] I didn't have max speed. Went up over the top on the hurdle. This could be a touchdown. I think this is a touchdown. Actually, I feel confident. Oh yeah, just [ __ ] send it. Sure hands. Damn. I should have done this a long time ago. I should have done sure hands a long time ago. I like being on Ohio State. We're dominating Missou and we're catching everything. I still haven't caught a green yet with this. It's so hard to get that opportunity, but I would really like to. I might adjust my green meter settings so that I have them on, you know, easier passes, but this is one of those opportunities where I actually probably could get it. Especially if I throw a block on a running back and then I just need a little bit of time. Yes, sir. Just put it up. Oh, he did. That's not a good ball, though. [snorts] That's not even catchable. Shoot. I respect him for putting it up there. All right, let's see what we got here. anything. Oh. Oh, you're in trouble, BUDDY. YOU'RE IN TROUBLE. ZERO GREEN. [laughter] Sure hands. 5050. Smaller matchup. Give me some, Ryan. Give me some, Ryan. That's exactly what we needed. That's exactly what we needed. Remember guys, if you're trying to call for a lob, you press B. You press whatever that is on PS4, the right button. You just tap it, you get a lob. Now, if you hold A, you're going to get a bullet every single time, no matter what. They don't have any like wherewithal on how to throw it. So, you got to tap B for that big lob right there. I might actually I might have another opportunity here. Oh, he threw it fast. Threw that one fast. That could have been beautiful. Second and 10 here. I mean, Missou's still scoring for what it's worth. Interested to see what this coverage Oh, zone. Give it to me. Come on. We're going to fight our way down. 10 receptions, 199 yards. It's a big boy ball game we're having right here. This is play action. I might be kind of jeopardizing this coverage here by doing this. I'm going to go for it anyway. Go ahead. Bush is down for the count. I'm the primary here and there's only one safety on this side. Oh yeah, I got a chance here. Come on. Nobody come. Nobody come. Oh, weird meter on that one. Not going to lie. Weird meter on that one. Sometimes you get those awkward meters that just don't don't do what you want. Third test is kind of a big conversion. I may run my route. Just kidding. [ __ ] all that noise. I was just going to run something stupid. Nice work. Okay, first and 10. Wait a minute. Just throw it to me. Come on. Come on. Oh my god. No meter, no shan. Just kind of caught that [ __ ] Oh my god. This is still on Heisman. Oh, and here we go. Hey, great work, EA. Ryan Day's chewing my ass out for what exactly? [ __ ] dunking on the DB. Yeah, I'm so full of [ __ ] coach. What was I thinking? dunking on that DB and scoring in in the [ __ ] Cotton Bowl. Sorry, the Rose the Rose Bowl. Okay, I'll take my L in the Rose Bowl. Tell them, Brutus. Well, 12 receptions, 236. I call it a not so bad game. That's interesting, though. I'm [clears throat] not hot right now. Oh, I am. Oh, so interesting. So, with wear and tear, my abilities are actually being decreased. If you notice there, I had gold tier shands. And there's our there's our No, that's on Missou. I thought that was going to be on me. I did one of those inputs where I thought I'd get the uh penalty. They got to take that jump on two [ __ ] out or at least make it an option. That's ruined so many games for me. Well, it's going to be a tough one. Damn. What Why do the quarterbacks have such weak throw power? I feel like he should be able to hawk me something. Let's just block. Sometimes you just got to sit one out sometimes. Damn, I'm blocking. Well, well, can't blame that on me. You really just can't cuz I was kind of him right there. So, this is funny. On slip screen, I have a route. Can I just like abandon my route and be a good blocker here? I totally can. Although, it didn't work. Big block. Not so big. I mean, it's still Ohio State, so our roster is just gross. Everybody does a million things. Well, these jerseys are so clean. I hate rooting for Ohio State, you know. But these jerseys rock. Oh, give me one. That's single coverage. [snorts] Is that a good enough ball? I like it though. I'm never going to apologize for that. I think if there's two high safeties, I think the move might be to go here then here. Uh, not really cuz I'm still double. I'm triple covered. I'm a greedy bastard. You can't You call me a lot of things. You can definitely call me a greedy bastard. That's crazy. Third and 10 here. Oh, it's mine. That's all me, baby. Oh, good hurdle. Worked one time. That That safety was not getting got by that twice. Snap counts on three. Can we just stop with this [ __ ] please? One, two. Okay, good route. Good enough route. This game's all but over. Second and four. See what kind of move we can make here. Oh, right over the middle. Big blitz. Wait a minute. Am I too slow? Big stiff arm. Ah, I need it. I got that 90 stiff arm. You know, I chuck that guy. Maybe maybe do a little grow [ __ ] Who knows? It's a crazy game right now though. I mean, we are just cooking. That's mine. THAT'S TUTTY. COME ON. Look at Brutus. Brutus, come dance with me, guys. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Is Ryan Day going to re my ass out? Okay, he high-fived me. Ryan Day high-fived me for my touchdown this time. It's very nice. You Ryan, why not run it up? 16 receptions, 294. Not bad. Could certainly be worse. Good catch. No broken tackle, but a good catch. 17 catches. Is this my best game ever? This might be my best game ever. All it took was Ohio State and also a [ __ ] ton of abilities. And you got Sorry guys, the snap count was on three. Bunch of idiots who never [ __ ] play this game decided to put that in there and make it uncancellable. How am I supposed to get a good jump? You want me to look at the snap count every time? What am I, a nerd? Let me just play the [ __ ] game. [ __ ] them. You know what? Good. You know what? Good. Let this game be over with. We're cooking. It's okay. Now, Ryan Da is going to give me a slap on the ass. Tell me I did great. Come on, Ryan. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Okay, though. He's reasonably He's reasonably chewing me out. Okay, you got me. You got me, Ryan. You dirty dog. I don't really know why we're even running a play here. This game's over. But I guess we really needed to seal the deal. And we do. That ball game's over, baby. Put me in victory formation. Ohio State. Oh, did you see that? The confetti spawned in. I love that you get confetti for the Rose Bowl. 35 to 17. Little Ohio State confetti never hurt nobody. And my allegiance lies with no one. Guys, I pray that we don't see Oregon in the natty. That's what I don't want to see. Don't show me another Oregon natty. Don't you dare. You know what's crazy is Ohio State's so good. I feel like Okay, good. I was going to say maybe I didn't even break Ohio State records. I got the single game receptions, maybe single game receiving, I assume. National career receptions record. Projected seventh round tight end, by the way. I have the national career receptions record um in my the middle of my junior year. Not the middle, the latter end of my junior year. Rose Bowl winner, baby. That's a big W. Early third round pick, by the way. Big 10 offensive player of the week. Yeah, I think 18 receptions, 321 yards, four touchdowns will do that for you. I like to think so. Cincinnati offensive. I like to think so. Taking on Miss, number four ranked Miss in the Orange Bowl. We're stepping up a little difficult here. Damn, they're 12 and one. This is going to be a tough team for sure. And admittedly, guys, I literally have not looked at Ohio State's roster. I actually don't know anything about this team. Incom had a really good game. He was NASA. We're the highest overall player on Ohio State. That's kind of weird. 89 overall. Those abilities were genius. We We needed to do that earlier, frankly. Isaiah Miselle is insanely good. Hugh Graham. Where's that quarterback? Where's Alec Encum? No. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I have his name wrong. Clark Enkum is a red shirt freshman. This is an autogenerated player presumably. Whoa. This guy's a freak. And then Gabe Quavas, the sophomore, has 93 speed and 94 excel. Damn, Ohio State. Well, damn. It's weird to see Ohio State not have a good running back. That's really weird. Well, how's the bracket look? So, Miss Ohio State, Indiana Washington. The only time Indiana lost this entire season was to us in the Big 10 championship. So, it's going to be Ohio State Indiana natty. Wait, that's pretty cool. Yeah, I would bet my ass Indiana wins that game. All right, Miss I'm going to save my skill points for next game. Shall we ball out, gentlemen? This kind of looks like we might have gotten a turnover already. First and 15. And it's a snap on three. So [ __ ] stupid. Yo, am I a wide receiver? What is this? I'm a wide receiver on this. First and 20. Just throw me it, bro. Damn, that's good defense. I mean, that's good defense. KO miss. What can I say about that? That's good D. Second and 20. Good. Huge catch. That's the other thing, too, is um wear and tear really blows this year. Wear and tear is really busted. If you turn it off, you lose all your XP. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There's nobody on me. Okay. Well, sometimes take a little freebie first down. Naturally, I'm fully, you know, that is just poetic timing. Look at my wear and tear bar. I've I've caught two balls. I'm at half. Don't buy this [ __ ] game, bro. This game is so ass. Oh my god, it's so [ __ ] ass. Let's take a little short route. Show me it again. For the love of all that is holy. You give me an instant replay of that right now. I just chucked that guy to [ __ ] outer space. I didn't even know that was an animation. Oh my god. Then we got a downhill hit stick after. I don't think downhill popped up. Holy [ __ ] That stiff arm. Let me see this one more time. Look at that. That was the Derek Henry stiff arm. That was nasty. That's some Groank [ __ ] That's why we went with the Groank build right there, boys. You're seeing exactly why we did the Groank build. I'm taking a little easy one right there. And we're going to worm our way for some extras. Little extra credit. Four receptions, 49 yards. It does feel like on average we pick up like 10 yards a catch. Come on. Give me a little more. Oo, WHO THE [ __ ] IS THIS GUY? DID I step out? Yo, I'm on Ultra Instinct right now. And I stepped out. Oh my god. Matt Mink is out of his mind right now. I did step out. Oh, I stepped I minus N speed on wear and tear, though. Minus N speed on wear and tear. And I'm actually like a technical pole blocker here. And that is such a free touchdown. I don't have to do anything. Is Ryan Day mad at me? Please don't be coach. Please just give me a high five. Thank you. Thank you, coach. That's crazy. That's actually crazy. Okay. Well, wear and tear is going to be a problem all game long, but to strike first 70 off of a crazy drive is awesome. And Miss is running. Holy [ __ ] dude. I'm actually on god mode right now. I don't know what's going on, but we're breaking everything right now. We got to keep this up. I might get sad. Do you get sad if you're wearing tear fully goes out? Holy ball. Let's not be Julian. Let's not be Julian saying now. Julian Lewis. Whoever sold my [ __ ] on Notre Dame. Julian Lewis. I think it was Julian Lewis. It was the prior Colorado quarterback, which I think it's Julian Lewis, but Okay. 7 to7. Wait a minute. That was a bit That was a little Momy of That was a little Julian Lewisy of you. That was too. Holy [ __ ] Don't go yapping at me. Don't go throwing up to Don't go. Don't go doing that [ __ ] to me. That DB number 19 just did that to me. Let's see if he's in a zone and I can go literally. Yes. Yeah. Oh my god. Get rid of the [ __ ] ball. I was going to dunk on that DB for talking [ __ ] to me. It was going to be poetic justice. We were all going to have a great day. I'm getting some very favorable lineups out here though. Oh yeah. Well, it's gonna be double covered. I got a shot at this though. Green. That window really evaporated. But you know what I could have done is I think I could have put my wide receiver on a short route. Second and 10. Let's zoom out a little bit so we can see really what this field looks like. That's a beautiful ball. That is exactly how he needs to throw that for us to get a first down. We love to see that. We love to see that. Let's keep things simple out of the tight end. Out of the true tight end position. I really, really like the Ohio State playbook. I like this better than any of them for the tight end position. This is definitely a zone coverage, so he's probably able to get open underneath. Oh, just kidding. Damn, I just got clamped up. That's coverage sack. They're all over that. This playbook is awesome. I've gotten to play wide receiver so much. Although, I wonder maybe I'm the best slot wide receiver on the team because I'm just so too slow. Mainly, it's the wear and tear. It's not that I'm too slow, but I'm minus 9 speed right now on wear and tear. What would be really nice is this route developing. Let's get Angel crossing a little bit harder. Oh no. Hang on to that ink. Hang on to that for just another second and I'll give you the most beautiful Oh, here we go. This is a really, really big opportunity right here. Okay. This game pisses me the [ __ ] off. It's such like a natural response to me and playing the game as I press A to snap the ball and then I move forward for my release. But of course, the snap con's always on two or three and then you just stand there with your [ __ ] dick in your hand. That's [cheering] That was weird. That was super weird. What was that? That ball just kind of floated through me. Okay, third and 15. Going to try Oh, here we go. Where is this ball to? [laughter] Put the single coverage linebacker on me. I'm the greatest tight end of all time. Projected seventh round, by the way. That was [ __ ] lit. That celebration was sick. Ryan, you better glaze me. It is a coin toss if Ryan Day is going to glaze me or chew me out. But he's glazing. Yeah, dap me up. My slime. Dap me up. That was gross. 14 to seven. Boys are balling. I mean, we just keep it up. Nine receptions, 182 yards. Why not? Oh, dude, what are you doing? He's like stepping up to guard me. Have you not Have you not learned your lesson? Stay down, old man. All right, let's keep the play calling simple. Right out of the formation as soon as 58. If Roach is on me, I'm calling it. It's literally Roach again. This guy's out of his league. That was good defense. That was his first very good defensive stop. I think coach might be pulling me just because I'm so fatigued. I really am. I'm This is a game I'm gonna come out of. I gotta give my team the best chance to win this while I'm in the game. I'm gonna call for this. It might be a meter. Oh, that's on me. That's on me. No meter. No animation naturally. MATT RULE IS EXCITED. THAT WAS OLD MRS. COACH. WHY DID WE JUST GO DAB UP OLD MRS. Coach after? I also called him Matt Rule. I don't think that's Matt Rule. I don't I'm not sure who that is. There's too much going on for me, bro. There's actually too much going on for me to even attempt to comprehend. Dude, they keep putting these linebackers on me. Nah. Yeah, that's linebacker. First and five. That's actually a really That's really funny. I really like playing Old Miss. This defense they run is so bizarre. He'll comes up to the line every time to get torched. First and 10. We're going to go no huddle here. And I'm going to look for that back corner bomb. Yes, sir. Well, WELL, IT'S GOT A CHANCE. GREEN. This is a monster game. That window is tiny at this point. Coach, you kind of got to pull me. I am winded. I think I should come to the sideline. All right, 12 receptions, 285, and they're finally okay. Miss, you may straight up have the worst defense I've ever seen. They are dead set on running this man coverage. This is awesome. I wish I play miss every game. 12 and one. I thought this team was going to be a nightmare. I don't know what the hell that was. Oh, single your buddy. Buddy, buddy, boy. No, the double cover got there. No. Had a great chance. Had a great chance. Just a little too late on that ball. It's we I mean, look at that. Even my other tight end. This is a really, really weird defensive um formation. It's very much working in our favor. Peppers. Who the hell is that at tight end? That's a running back. Why not? We got sure hands now. We got platinum sher hands. Nothing is Nothing is not open. Everything is open. Let's go back to our roots, guys. Let's go back to our roots. Let's zoom out and just take a little guy. I'm not even aided. This Ohio Tates Ohio Tate team. Ohio State team is yucky. First and goal. This is really going back to our roots. Let's block. Let's just be a bro. throw a great block. Nice. What up, Brutus? Ry is pissed. Ry is pissed that we got a freebie eye formation touchdown where I threw a great block. Flip a coin heads. Ry day glazes you tails. Randy chews you out. It just say EA can suck me. That's weird. That's a weird coin. Probably a rare second and nine. Ooh, you want to press cover me? Quick question. Does anybody use footfire? That shit's so stupid. Why would I ever do that? Just slowing my route down. I gave him the foot fire of doom and despair. I'm going to do it again. Wait, let me hit him with it. Hey. Oh. Oh, it torched him. Is it goated? Is it goated? I mean, I've been torching him all day, but that time I got like six yards of separation. Give it to me. [ __ ] this guy. Oh my god, dude. What's going on? These abilities turned me into something inhuman. Genuinely, I don't need to be in this game. This game is over. And my wear and tear bar is fully depleted. I'm hoping coach can yink me. Big block. That's just a great block. It's just a high awareness block is really all that is. Bench, bench, bench, bench. Great play right here. See how old Miss plays this. I got like a [ __ ] linebacker. I got like a D lineman on me right there. Let me get that ball. Going play action here. Oh my god. Oh, that is my least favorite bug in this whole game. It's not even fair to call it a bug. You press A to snap the ball and then it it retains that input for your catch type. Not because you actually tried to catch it like that, but because this user interface, I'm not going to say it. Just give me the [ __ ] ball, jackass. Oo, that's a jackpot. Good try. Good try. SECOND AND 10. I was robbed of another touchdown. And I got to go get it now. No choice but to. Third and 17 is no bueno. Certainly no bueno. Peppers might pull this safety for me and I might have a chance. Oh yeah. Oh my god. Wait. Maybe. Depends when it gets there. Oh my golly. Sideline is pleased about that. Of course. Fourth 17. Coach, can we put them out of their misery? Coach, I'm dying out here. I I kind of like I'm putting my hat up and I'm saying, "Hey, can a brother get a substitution?" Wonder if I can do something so bad that maybe they'd pull me. I like I like want to be out. Save me for the natty, coach. Oh, good. Not my best block. I won't lie to you. Not my best block. Just a blocker. Just a blocker. Oo, I kind of got bullied. It worked. It worked though. Let's go get that touchdown back, boys. Let's go get that touchdown back. Feel like I'm short of Tutty right now. Hey, sweet spot. Sweet spot. Coach, I got to know why we're still playing. I get it. You hate Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. It doesn't matter. Oh my god. Yes. It's got to be single. No way he gets there. Green. Ah, that was that was a pretty opportunity is all I'm saying. Okay, this could be interesting, too. See how this develops. Where's that safety? Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. I just eclipse. I might have broken my record from last game. I think I did. No, we're sitting on 382, so I didn't quite yet. Maybe one more catch will do it. Oh, coach, can we cuban it, please? Coach, we're just being [ __ ] at this point. Here's a little inside zone action. Don't call timeouts, so miss. Let it be. Let it die. Final play of the game. Gotta give yourself an opportunity on the final play of the game. Third one, five seconds. Completely dumpstering Old Miss. Gotta give yourself an opportunity. 20 catches, 389 yards. All game's over. Well, we're moving on. It's going to be Indiana, bro. It's going to be That game was crazy. I wish there was a way to temper wear and tear better. I mean, I am calling for the ball a lot, of course, but two catches in, I was at a half piece. I just want to be full I want to be full stamina. I want to have my full stats all game. I mean, I think I can upgrade my toughness. I'd have to use a cap breaker on it, which seems that seems excessive. There it is, boys. Indiana versus Ohio State. So, we did see them in the Big 10 Championship. That's their only loss. If any game is going to be a nightmare, it's going to be this one. I'm now a late third round pick after that game, which makes sense. I mean, that was such a bad game. I don't see how any NFL scout could have watched that game we just played and thought we were good, right? Oh, that actually makes no [ __ ] sense. Oh, 756 skill points. So, we got to spend these. Dude, abilities have been insane. I think I'm probably best suited to just stay in that ballpark. Why worry about anything else? So, it turns out toughness is more important than I thought cuz toughness is the wear and tear a player accumulates. So, I'm actually going to use a cap breaker on that. I didn't think I'd ever be using this, but we're going to use toughness and we're going to bring this up to 75, which is pretty inexpensive to upgrade. Holy user interface. Would you mind letting me play the game? Holy [ __ ] Okay, I'm going to take it all the way up to 78, which is relatively inexpensive. I didn't have to use cat breakers on it. Speed's been nice. Let's get our speed up to 90 for this game. It's national championship, baby. Spent 260 there. We're sitting on four. So, we got 90 speed, 84 Excel. Great catching stats. Stiff arms been great. Jumping was huge. Uh, trucking could certainly go up, but the thing is is like downhill kind of does that. You just break tackles at max speed. Taking this to silver tier. I think that's worth it. Then we get 300. take this to gold tier and then I'll work on my first platinum ability. But with 150 left over, is there anything worth I don't know that strength matters cuz strength says it's behind every block and tackle. I don't know. It might be. I'm going to take my trucking up to 144 after the catch. Keep becoming a monster. Route running myth. Smith Indiana Hooers for all the marbles, baby. For all the marbles. And listen, I mean, if I break a national championship record if I beat the Indiana Hooers here as Ohio State, there's a chance that I could be a projected fourthrounder. This is our final game as Ohio State. Isn't that crazy? I feel like I mean, we did just get here. It's our final game as Ohio State. We finally have a very equal matchup. This Indiana team is absurdly high. They're actually higher overall than us. This is not going to be the Old Miss game. We're going to have to keep playing ball. The Natty Chip, the biggest game in college sports. Matt Meeks is already in freshman quarterback. Freshman quarterback at Ohio State. Ryan Day offered me a max skill point transfer portal deal to come over here and then he flips a coin after every play to decide to chew me out or not. I think Ryan Day might be bipolar or something, you know. I can't figure it out. Brutus getting after. And that is not Kurt. That ain't Kurt over there in Indiana. I don't know who that is. Little red and white matchup. Hooers versus Buckeyes. How do we feel about the red jersey, silver helmet? All red. It's a little goofy, but I think it looks good contrasting against the Hooers. I didn't want us to look too similar. First and 10. First play of the game. Holy [ __ ] dude. I swear the CPU in the big game just gets dumber. I haven't watched my quarterback throwing a contested pass like that yet, outside of me calling for it. First play, the natty just airs that [ __ ] out. I got DV on me. You give me that ball. Got a little DV on me. He actually played that really well. Can't talk too much [ __ ] about that. He played that quite well. This is going to be interesting coverage. Who's going to come out here to guard me? Third and nine manned up. I've got a Dude, but that's wide open. Okay, that's a good one. That's a good one. In Clarky Boo. That was a heater. Save that. Meat chip. Can't be selfish now. Yes, I can. Are you [ __ ] kidding me? I'm going to call for the most contested catch you've ever seen at some point in this game. And look at that. We're going to fight our way through the middle. Come on. No wear and tear yet. That's good news. Let's go get open. Sometimes it's that simple. You just did open, you know. Okay. Okay. Worst route of all time. I didn't I didn't need to get open. My wide receiver did that for me. Buckeye. Strike first. Does Indiana score? No. We went for two or missed the PAT, which is a little concerning, but that's okay because it's first and 10. We got some real easy routes here, but that one's going to bonk. Little bonk action. It's bound to happen. I want to go up for one deep. I really do. Is this possible? Not really because that safety. Wait, maybe. Maybe he threw that with a lot of zip. USUALLY HE'S PLAYING JACKPOT. THAT a lot of zip. And we just got to see 50/50 light up. Snap on three. Don't forget, guys. One, two. Oh, okay. What the [ __ ] Can I have the ball? Sure. Why not? Sure. Yeah. I was in the huddle throwing my arms up and I think that's the only fair response to that. I mean, what the hell was that? I'm the X receiver. I think I think Buddy over here is going to have a tough time defending this. Oh, dribbler, dribbler, dribbler. All good. I'm going to take the post. Let's see what they got for me. What you got, Indiana? What you got, Indiana? Am I open? I am. There is a DBU could have made that play. Oh my gosh. Is every game going to be a blowout at Ohio State? I was used to I mean that Oregon natty that we played. We could Our defense couldn't stop him. It is okay. Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't this a dome? What the [ __ ] This is a dome. How is it raining? How could it possibly be raining? I'm not kidding. This is a dome, right? This is the National Championship Stadium. I went to a game here. It was enclosed. It was at Sofi. Unless they change where it's held, this is not possible, right? The National Championship. It's honestly pretty [ __ ] cool. Like I am complaining. Not really. I just think it's kind of a hilarious observance. I don't really care either way. This is objectively cooler. Our national championship has dynamic weather. And the rain's gone. And the rain's gone. It stopped raining. Oh, it's back. Guys, it was an optical illusion. That camera couldn't actually pick up the rain. Now, I'm running out of formation. I'm running play action. I'm risking a safety with this, but I think it gives us a really good opportunity to do that. And I dropped it. That's actually exactly what I want. And I went a single coverage. If we ran that formation, but I couldn't come down with it. Third 11. This big play here. Can we find oursel open for enough? We can. Huge. Huge. First and 10. Can we switch this up? I want the deep ball. Oh, and it's done raining. Don't you hate that when mother nature just comes in, gives you just a little 2 and 1/2 second torrential downpour in a dome stadium and then you fall start. It was the rain. It was me. It was the rain. It was not me. You don't understand how hard it is to read the snap count in the rain. That's now gone. Small indie company. Here we go. First and 15. Big block. Come on. 24. It's going to be a long date, baby. Second and eight. Snap count on two. Don't forget. Don't forget. How could I forget? What the [ __ ] is that ball? Ah, you're actually just asking for it. That was pitiful. Interesting. Don't look at me. Don't look at me. Okay. Well, if we block the wheel route here, I may end up with single co Oh, well, it's kind of single coverage. He's way too far down. Beautiful. I'll take it. This game's getting relatively close. I don't like it. 7 to 13 in the natty. 3 minutes left in the second and we're just going with a little verticals. Number nine is always guarding me, which I don't like cuz he's pretty [ __ ] good. Damn, dude. It is kind of weird. My quarterback is so aggressive today. Feel like in all those other games he wasn't this aggressive. Now he's just shocking it. Maybe he's nervous. He's He's only a freshman in the natty. He's a little nervous. I think that's understandable. That's bad ball. I should be calling for that. Crazy that we caught that. But we will take it. Maybe that toughness upgrade is helping me out cuz I got eight receptions. My wear and tear is looking good. We did plus eight on toughness. Huh. I'm open. That's a weird ball. Oh, it is dome. It's domed in. They just showed me. You know what I could do? Oh, you don't get instant replay in the middle of You're supposed to get instant replay. I guess not. Give me a contested, dude. 24 is so short. If I'm on the left side of the field, really favorable. 24 is just so small. I'm so open. This could be a tutty. Got to break that. Got to break that. All good. All good. Same play, same formation. Give myself a different route this time. I'm open again. Caught it. State of bounds. Good to tap. Hey guys, you want to see something funny? You guys want to see a hilarious meme? No, I lied. Okay guys, I lied. This is Hard Rock Stadium. It can rain here. Now, what I am more confused about is the fact that it rained for like 3 seconds and then it just went away, which like is actually like that does happen in real life, but I was kind of hoping for a rain game. The field is still wet as you can see. I wonder if it's impacting our play at all. I have no idea. Oh, give me one. Too much loft on that puppy. Way too much loft on that puppy. Okay, third one. This guy's got Robert. I got a true DB on me here. Just give it to me. I'm just bigger and stronger. It's Sometimes it is that simple. You know, you don't got to reinvent the wheel. Well, okay. So, it's hard. This is Hard Rock Stadium. I'm there on second and 10. I came out. I come back in on third and 10. So, it must have been an interesting formation. If this is man, I might Oh, just give it to me. [ __ ] him. I'm just bigger and stronger. I'm just bigger and stronger. Ooh. Ooh. Wait, did we not score? Did was that a two-point conversion? I think we just went for two. Oh, no. That we didn't score. Now we did. And Ryan Day is pissed. Ryan, I can't control the weather. Okay, I know it's raining. I know that pisses you off. I know you didn't pack an extra pair of socks. It's got nothing to do with me, brother. I I just scored. So, I wasn't actually in on that. I thought that first one was a touchdown. It wasn't. I got to get a green in the natty. Oh, this will be meter required. Bang. Said I got to get a green in the natty. Said I needed a green in the natty. Come on. Here we go. Here we go. Come on. Be a zone. Be a zone. 27. Sink for the running back. Sink for the running back. H. You're such a [ __ ] I mean, I'll still get a bunch of yards, but you're still such a [ __ ] Well, now we're just eating, boys. It's just that easy sometimes. Come on. Wow, dude. This is the Ohio State effect. Every other Natty was just this absolute gauntlet. This is not a gauntlet. We're the same difficulty, same sliders. Can't adjust XP in this game, so obviously same XP. Second and six. I'm getting press covered by this guy. Get the [ __ ] out of No. No sir. I'm poverty. I deserve it. I'm going to give him I'm going to give him the foot fire. Damn it. What the [ __ ] How do you get burned by that Indiana? That was so pitiful. And I bet Ryan is pissed about my backto-back touchdowns. Yeah, come chew me out, Ryan. Did you flip your little Pokemon coin and figure out it's time to ream my ass out for my second [ __ ] touchdown in the natty? I know. I know. My footfire wasn't how we practice it up. Golly, this guy thinks he's Nick Sabin or something. Indiana strikes back. It's 14 to 27. The game is technically not over. It's in my best interest to keep running this ship. Dude, they're all running the same weird defense where they sink in so close that we beat them over the top every time. I don't know what it is. See if they switch the zone here or if I got 27 on me. Either way, it doesn't really matter cuz I'm calling for this. Yeah, he's just so much smaller than me. Good defense. Good defense. Good defense. Wear and tear get me a little bit now, but we got 18 reception for 240 in the natty and I'm feeling icy. Yep. Literally the same thing every time. I don't know what that is. I love it though. Anytime you see that linebacker creep up, they just are going to be under you. 90 speed, but wear and tear is kind of eating away at it. I need a safety blitz. Can you blitz a safety? Here we go. Oh no, I didn't get the throw. Second five, same play. Oh, number 30's on me. Who are you, buddy? You're a new one. Nice work. I think I've had about six different guys cover me in this game. I'm giving him the foot. Waiting for the foot fire. No, no, coach. Coach, I was going to redeem myself and you were going to be so happy with me. I was going to give him the foot fire. Here we go. Here we go. Coach, you ain't never seen it like this, coach. Come on, Ryan. Ready? Ready? That is not a footfire. I think I need to be off the line to footfire. Or maybe not. Maybe I could do it from here. Here we go. Foot fire. Hey. Hey. Clean. So clean that I I got my teammate open. And see, Ryan Bay was gonna glaze me right there if I had played that out. First and 10. It is literally 35 to 14. But I have unfinished business with a foot fire. I have unfinished business. You ready? Snap. Foot fire. No. No. Incom, you have to hold it so that I can do it. Ah, wait a minute now. Wait a minute now. Here we go. Second and five. Boom. Foot fire. Oh my god. Did you see it? Who would have thought? I saw I mean I saw you getting on the yards. Okay, first and 10. This is great. We're going up for a green catch no matter what. Predetermined. [ __ ] him. Let's go find a way. Just do it. Oh, in I'm in cuming. Just need a little more pace. Oh boy. Miselle might have a touchdown there. You can press You going to press him up like that? You're making a big mistake. Do it. No. Oh, interception. All right. Indiana gets a little interception. We get to watch Mendoza's predecessor here. 35 to 14. Air that [ __ ] out. Let me see it. That's a good ball. It's a good ball and a good catch. Indiana's going to keep fighting. They're going to get another touchdown. Now it's 21 to35. You know what? They're putting up a fight. They are. Can't say they're not. You just got to And is falling apart. In can't get this ball off. I don't think we're in jeopardy though. I I No part of me is concerned right now. I'm going to get a false start. Right. Right. Right. Cuz the snap count on two and it's play action. This could be a good opportunity. This might be my opportunity. Dare I say it. What is with this greedy bastard? Hucking checkies. [ __ ] check down. Did we just go out of bounds on that? That's a big mistake. Third and 20, dude. Greedy bastard income. I'm blatantly calling for the rock and he's ignoring me. Fourth and two are going for it. Wow. Coach, I can't say. You know, I say I'd say I like it. I'm going to block Preszinski here. Hopefully give us a little extra time. I literally just need him to give me the ball. He's a freshman. I'm sure Ryan Day is mad at me for running a perfect round being but Oh no. Ryan Day is very happy about our fourth down turnover. All right. Could Indiana win this? A minute 55. Two timeouts. They got to score quick and even and they don't actually need an on-site kick if they scored quick enough cuz two timeouts. Ah, they [ __ ] up. GG's. See if I can go get another touchdown, though. Oh, I'm quite open. Wow. This guy can't give me the ball right now. Although, I'm just going to say it. I could foot fire here. Oh, they're not ready for the foot fire. They're not even remotely ready for the foot fire. Ryan Day came to his senses and he's going to cube it out. Can you believe this, gentlemen? This right here is our first national championship victory. I've been to all three, but finally at the end of our junior year, it only took the powerhouse that is the Ohio State Buckeyes to bring us here. Indiana Falls, Ohio State wins. You got to imagine I got player of the game. Look at that beautiful, beautiful trophy right there. And guys, we even had like a quarter second of rain, which is kind of cool. Got the field all wet and then we just went back to play. It doesn't bother me one bit. Very cool. Very cool. Matt Meeks, big number 87, making plays. Come on. Our junior year comes to a close by finally winning the national championship on 22 catches for 320 yards and three touchdowns. By the way, you can now see in real time what I mean about this legacy score thing. This is so [ __ ] funny. So, you win the conference championship, then I record 200 receiving yards in a game. Are you noticing how this graph is going down? You notice how I'm getting penalized for performing well? My career health is maximized. I have I have 25,000 more legacy score than I did at the start of the season. And I've dropped from an early second rounder to a I might even I might even be a a late fourth rounder when we're all said and done. Which, by the way, impacts the offers that teams give you. Just the crime of it all. Also, I think my game just crashed. It did. I would be so embarrassed to associate my name with the production of this game. I would be genuinely so embarrassed. Holy [ __ ] I pressed advance and I'm I'm soft locked. It's probably not even going to count my game. I It might make me I wonder if he even got the auto save in. I wonder if it's going to count that game at all. All right, we good, boys. We've won the national championship. I was so worried that it was going to nuke the save there. Wait, holy [ __ ] It may actually have nuked the save. I'm soft locked at the same spot again. When I click advance, EA expected you to pay real money on this. They expect you to pay real money for your player that you get literally four years out of and can't play with again. Imagine I like imagine I was stupid enough to spend $500 on my Road to Laura character cuz I'm a rich idiot or a 12-year-old who doesn't understand what mommy's credit card does. Sorry, an 8-year-old. 12-year-olds know that. A six-year-old. Okay, mommy's credit card is connected. I don't know what's going on. And my game is going to soft lock at this exact spot every time. My save actually might be bricked. I'm going to try this again. Okay, let's see how we can combat this. So, when I load back in, it's going to tell me I'm the offensive player of the week. It's going to go through all these same dialogue boxes. It does. Oh, okay. Small indie company. Third try. For a Steam game in beta, that's not that bad, you guys. For a Z for for a free game in beta on the Steam marketplace, it's really not that bad. What I also find very interesting is the offer to stay at a team is so bad. Also, this is hilarious. Ryan Day says, "You're projected as a third round pick. If you come back, you can make much or you could even rise your draft stock to the first round." I don't think Ryan Day is aware that this game was created by [ __ ] idiots because I should already be a first round pick because I'm the greatest tight end who's ever lived in the history of forever. I've literally broken every single national career record already. And unfortunately, because of that, the offer Ryan Day gives me reflects the fact that I'm a third round pick, which I'm not. So, I'm going to enter the portal. I think even if I click Actually, don't know. I guess I probably have to go to a new team now, which I I kind of do want to stay with Ohio State, but um you're a pigeon holed cuz they [ __ ] you on the offer. I'd get 500 skill points if I go to a different team and I get 80 if I stay with Ohio State cuz you know cuz I'm a third round pick, of course. Interesting. Hermes Athletics is going to give me a deal that gives me 300 skill points and plus three speed. 16week contract would be my entire senior season. That's actually a super good NIL deal. Plus three saw me 93 speed. That's pretty nasty. It's temporary, but I only have the senior season left, so it just won't apply to my senior season playoff run. What the [ __ ] Why am I at Ohio State? Where was the transfer portal option? This game is so [ __ ] broken and pitiful. EA, you have no Oh my god, there's no transfer. Where the [ __ ] is transfer portal? It just disappeared. They thought they wanted you to spend money on this. Oh my god. Well, listen. I'm actually not that upset because I don't mind being on Ohio State for my senior. Ohio State is probably the best place for me. I did just get screwed out of a bunch of skill points and we're a 91 overall tight end. EA claimed that through natural progression you could get 99. I think that's impossible. How could I possibly accumulate enough skill points? I'm the best tight end of literally all time [ __ ] ever. And I don't have enough skill points to get. That's not impossible. All right, BOYS. HEY, I SAID I WAS GOING TO CLOSE OUT THE mode and for what it's worth, when I'm going up there and greening a catch or when I'm winning a big game or having highlight reel, it is fun. But um I mean these guys are so shamelessly dog [ __ ] That's all I got. We have one more episode, my senior year at where I have no choice but to be, Ohio State University. I love you boys. Thanks for watching as always. I'm sorry the series can't be longer, but if you played College Football 27, I think you'd empathize with me. I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace.
