The Hardest Rebuild in Madden 27!

Today I'll be taking over as the brand new general manager of the Arizona Cardinals to bring them their first ever Super Bowl win and it's going to be an uphill battle. This team was 3 and4 last year. They have the hardest strength of schedule in the entire National Football League and their franchise quarterback is now starting in Minnesota over nine. This is head coach Johnson way too long. It's a it's a Samoan last name. You wouldn't understand. This schedule is genuinely such a gauntlet. I don't think the Cardinals are favored to win any of these games. The good thing about a Cardinals rebuild, though, is you actually have some monsters that are going to progress really, really well. Jeremiah Love is an obvious one. 94 speed, 94 Excel, hidden dev, he's going to be a unit. And then you've got Trey McBride joining the 99 club for the first time in his career. Straight up 99 overall. He can't really progress cuz he's already a 99, but we got an X-factor tight end. Josh Sweat and Walter Nolan on the Dline is going to be nice. Buddha Baker is still an X factor. And then you've got Will Johnson, a young corner. Our linebackers could certainly use some work. Free safety and our other corners could use work as well. The obvious issue is quarterback. So Jacobe Brassette like held out on the Cardinals to get a big paycheck. Carson Beck kind of balled out the preseason. The difference between Brassette and Beck is only four overall and Jacobe Brassette is old. I don't know that it's possible. I don't know that we could progress Carson Beck into a monster. We definitely got to get him star dev. Normal dev is not going to do it. It's a 68 overall field general, but I mean, we're not supposed to win any games this year anyway, so I'm starting Carson Beck. He's 24 years old. He's confident and calculated. And I think a lot of Cardinals fans are frustrated with the development of Marvin Harrison Jr. This guy was supposed to be the next greatest wide receiver, and he's been okay. He's certainly not bad. He's still 6'3, good stats, 80 overall, 91 speed. I think we could get him on the right track. Now, call me crazy, but it is Carson Beck's first season, and this is a crucial season for his development, and Tyreek Hill is an available free agent. I'm going to have a chat with him. I don't know if he'd come to Arizona, but I'm going to have a chat with him. Tyreek said, "I'm ready. This is something I can stand on. Let's go ahead and get it signed." We've got Tyreek Hill for 2 years. That's actually crazy. That's a good way to start this rebuild. So, here's the thing with Tyreek. He's 32. He's not going to like change this roster. He probably won't be around when we're winning a Super Bowl, but he's still got 96 speed. He's one of the fastest wide receivers in the game still. I think this is going to help out Carson Beck a lot. He's also a veteran. He's won some Super Bowls. I like it. We start our rebuild on the road against the Chargers. Derwin James, Justin Herbert, and Bobby. Wow, they side Bobby Wagner. Why do we have six injuries? Oh my god. Are you kidding me? Trey McBride out. Marvin, [laughter] shut up. Marvin Harrison Jr.'s out. Isaac Seamalo's out. Basantis is out for 38 weeks. Caleb Proctor, our hidden devd tackle, is out for 24. And oh my god, this is so brutal. Sofi Stadium, Carson Beck's first NFL regular season game as a starter. He doesn't have his 99 overall starting tight end. He doesn't have his best wide receiver. And Johnson way too long's already on the hot seat. They were three and 14 last season. He chose to start Carson back. He signed Tyreek Hill in free agency. I got to know why Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. got injured in the preseason. I would love to know how that occurred. I'm going to be honest. We got to keep the game plan as simple as we can for Carson Beck. We're already out some players. This is going to be ugly. Oh, it's loud in here. Jeremiah Love is still healthy. Tyreek kills by himself. Oh my god. I can't even. This is literally college football. This is literally college football. The wear and tear is killing me. Tyreek, please. TYREEK GREEN BEAT IT. TYREEK. OH, that was money. This is such a bad start. Okay, let's make it even easier for Carson Beck and literally throw a slip screen. Okay, that was the worst possible catch animation. Still got four yards. Dur James picks up the tackle. Carson, Carson, Carson, we've got an uphill battle, buddy. Uh, there's a blitz. I like Tyreek. Wow, he caught that. Tyreek's number 83 over here. That's ugly. I don't know how I feel about that. There's Tyreek again. Tyreek is, you know what, ended up being a great free agency pickup since Marvin Harrison Jr.'s out. He's not out for that long, so it's not the end of the world, but yikes. Just going to keep throwing the easy passes that I can. I want to make Carson Beck's life simple. He's got 22 yards. He's moving the rock. Let's go with an inside zone. See if we can get Jeremiah Love moving. Got to progress Jeremiah Love, too. Good. Damn, Derwin's in there, but we'll take nine. I have never ran this play in my entire life. Fake halfback zone. QB boot. Oh my god, THAT'S CRACKED. BLOCK. Give me a block. Good block on Derwin. Carson back your soass. That was such a good play. I probably should have slid. He's a quarterback. That was a really good play. I'm super impressed with that. Certainly an uphill battle. A lot of injuries already. There's Gibbons, M. Wilson, Shawn Murphy bunting, Will Johnson. Dude, this roster is cooked. We got some work to do. See if we can get a nice little stop though. Doesn't throw that. He does throw to Mac. Wilson. It's a very contested ball. Herbert, do get a red zone alert here, too. Okay, first and goal from the four. I also apologize. I am losing my voice a little bit. Been filming a lot, but I'm going to do my best to keep it up. Ooh, got through Derwin there a little bit. Still went down, but we're second and goal from the one. Just go rate option to Jeremiah Love and I think we just hand this sucker off. Yes, sir. Okay, Jeremiah Love, the rookies got our first Cardinals touchdown. There's a chance we come out with a win in this game. The Chargers can't score right now. Our offense is looking pitiful. I'm about to send Buddha Baker up the middle. Let's go make something happen. Buddha. Third and five. Huge play up the gut. Oh no, someone's going to be Oh, good defense. Are we clamping? We just scored in the sim. So did the Chargers. They went for two and got it. Carson back. Carson back. Can you close it for us? We're going a lead read option. This is just going to go to Jeremiah Love here. I'm scared of Carson Beck fumbling. Good blocks. Another good block. Wait a minute. This is kind of working. Okay, first and 10. I mean, a touchdown seals this game. Let's get Jeremiah Love out to the left side. Good stretch. Good blocks. We'll take eight. That's the last time out that Harbaugh has got. By the way, I'm in Eagles offensive playbook. I changed my team scheme to Eagles. I don't know. I just thought it was kind of random, but I thought it'd incorporate Jeremiah Love a lot cuz obviously Saquon. They have so many cool plays. Fullback, fake, halfback flip. Although Tuli 2 below. That's not Tuli 2 below two. That is Aake Messador who I think is the rookie or maybe secondyear guy. Either way, great play by him. Third and 10. We're going to have to pass this. We're have to pass ice this game up. Kendrick Bourne. Higgins. I'm going to block. This looks like an allout blitz. Is it not entirely Carson Beck? Carson Beck slide. I'm not fumbling again, I think. Is that ball game? Not entirely. No. That'll take us to the two-minute warning, though, if we want it. But you know what? I want to put this in the end zone, especially for Carson Beck. There's a little play action. Beautiful play. I'm just going to go with Carson. He broke a tackle. Second and goal at the two. I might have been able to float that over the top, but I got a little too scared to try it. Are we going to put Remon in the end zone right now? Are we really going to put our third string tight end into the end zone right now on a fullback dive? Is that how we're playing it? No, we're not. But we will burn some clock. Third and goal. I wouldn't mind putting Jeremiah Love in one more time. Give this kid two touchdowns. Big Hello. Hello. Electronic Arts Classic. Small small indie game. Small indie developer with only a few employees. That should be Oh my god, dude. Jeremiah Love getting stuffed by these backers right now. Fourth and goal. We can burn this. Oh wow, this is huge. Johnson way too long. Three-point lead on the Chargers in the season opener. It's fourth and goal. And that is Tyler Alier in the back field. We are going deep in the depth chart for the season opener. Huge play. And Tyler Alier is going to ice this up. [laughter] Oh my god. This has been the weirdest season opener ever. No Trey, no Marv. We have Tyreek Hill. And it's our running backs who sealed this game for us. 21 to11. Giving the Chargers a loss to what people are calling the worst team in the NFL this year. First season for the Arizona Cardinals got a lot better when our starters came back. I'll say that. Trey McBride coming back, Marvin Harrison coming back, but we still would finish at the bottom of the NFC West. 6 and 11. Six wins. We were projected like three, so it's actually a pretty good season. Will Johnson was incredible. He almost led the league in interceptions, getting beat out only by Javon Holland. And Madden predicts our 2026 Super Bowl will be Indianapolis Colts versus Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are such a powerhouse this year. It's partially why I wanted to use their playbook. I swear I see him in the Super Bowl every year. And I'm looking at Jaylen Herz roll out dot. Oo, Smitty the Slim Reaper is going to showboat into the end zone. 37-31. That's a banger Super Bowl in a crazy highlight right there, dude. 37-31 highscoring Super Bowl. There's your playoff bracket right there. It was Indianapolis and Jacksonville in the AFC Championship. Philly and Tampa Bay in the NFC Championship. And the Eagles take home another Super Bowl in our very first season. Let's take a look at the stats. Oh my god. Oh my god, dude. I'm telling you, this Eagles play, they got to they must have done something crazy with this Eagles playbook. Carson Back threw 4,400 yards. It's honestly incredible. Now, completion percentage not good. Touchdown interception ratio horrible. But he's got a chance to get Starddev off of this. Now on the ground, I'm a little shocked that Jeremiah Love really didn't do much. Although, a frustrating thing you'll notice with Madden 27 is wear and tear is so broken that your backups end up getting way more reps than they probably should. Like I want 200 carries going to Jeremiah Love and we're basically splitting reps here with Tyler Alier. I do like Tyler Alier, but Jeremiah Love had to progress. Good news is he got 10 touchdowns, which is really good. But I mean, look at this though. Jeremiah Love is breaking significantly more tackles than Alier. Alier was averaging more yards per carry though. Interesting. Tyreek actually cooked in this offense. 1,400 yards for him. And when Marvin Harrison Jr. came back, he cooked too. 1,19. McBride got to add 856 but never found the end zone. Which is kind of funny because I remember a year where Trey McBride like could not get in the end zone. I don't know if that was last year or the year before. History repeats itself. Defensively, I'm very impressed with this team. Zavan Collins 11 and 1/2. Josh Sweat 8 and 1/2. And then Will, dude, Will Johnson, six interceptions, 130 interception return yards, and Buddha Baker had a pick six. My god, Josh Schwe got a safety. I never see anything in that category. Josh Sweat got a safety. Will Tyreek Hill call it a career? Retirement may be on the table. Let's see if we can get him to stay for that final year cuz he was actually really good. Okay, it's free agent frenzy. This is big. Ryan Branch, Joey Porter. It's not a super strong free agent frenzy. I think a safety is a good call. Buddha Baker's getting old. Our free safety position is already not very strong. I'd rather go for a guy like Jaquan Brisker. Brian Branch is so good. I got to at least try. I don't know that this is really even possible for us. Total value and bonus are the most important to him. He's super interested. I'm going to increase this bonus. A huge offer, but I mean there's so many teams going for Branch. I don't know. Okay, so we landed Gino Stone, so I do have a really solid free safety. Oh, we landed Brisker, too. Well, now I've got a Uh-oh. I oversold on safeties. Now I got to hope I didn't get Brian Branch. Okay, so Brian Branch is a Tampa Bay Buccaneer. So is Parker Washington. We've got brand new safeties and I think this is good cuz Buddha Baker is going to regress so fast. Round one pick six. I'm sure we have monster offers for this. We just got to see if there's a monster player. The only quarterback left is Rashard Ridley and we've scouted him to be around two three talent. So I'm not going to take a quarterback. I think I'm going to believe in Carson Beck for another year. Honestly, my favorite player in this class is Damen Bush. So, number one, he's 21 years old, which is awesome because your recruits can be anywhere from like 21 to 24, I think. Maybe 23. The younger the better. His physicals aren't spectacular, but if he's hidden dev, I think we can make this secondary really good. I already like our D line. The only other position I really want is linebacker, and I can get that in the second round. I'm honestly not sure how that's an A+ pick cuz he's 15 in value, but he's definitely really good. We just need him to be hidden dev. Oh, how are you not hidden dev? He's the 15th best player in the class. He's not hidden dev. He's got really good intangibles. We got to get him a dev trade upgrade naturally. 92 speed, 93 Excel, 6 foot out of North Dakota State. Damian Bush. Darn it. He's not hidden dev. Well, now I want a linebacker for sure. I hate that this is our best option, but this dude's name is Ben Smith. Literally the most generic name you could ever have, ever. But his physicals look really good. Great speed, great excel, elite agility. He's a 6'2 middle linebacker out of Louisville. Physical player who delivers bone crushing hits. Tell me you're hitting Dev Ben. His true value is not good. So, his base overall isn't good, dude. They got to fix the UI on this menu. I hate that my player is fully covered up by some [ __ ] up there. I want to see Ben Smith. Ben Smith is Oh, wa. This guy's a freak. Yeah. User middle linebacker with 88 speed, 90 XL hidden dev. Yes, sir. I'm actually going to take another linebacker here. Louis Ruiz. Super fast. Super not good. I got honeypotted by this speed. 86 speed, 90 XL, but he's going to be really low overall and not good at much else. Dude, Terren Pool out of Nebraska looked shockingly good. fourth round reach. Dude, he's actually really fast. I don't know if we ever want to run like a speed option or get weird with the playbook. Terrence Pool out of Nebraska. 87 speed, 90 XL for a quarterback. Ooh, and there's a free agent frenzy for a 77 overall kicker. Yes, I would love to speak with you, Hendrickx. Damn, everybody wanted this kid. He ended up going to the Browns and he was hidden dev. I'm actually really sad. That would have been huge. Okay, full draft. So, Damen Bush, that's actually so shocking he's not hidden dev. 77 overall. Ben Smith 73 and everyone else is kind of a wash in this draft. A full class had a monster right guard and a monster D tackle. Outside of that, nothing too impressive. I feel good about the class. Okay, so looked at our wide receiver room. Marv Tyreek Mike Wilson. So Tyreek decided to stick around. Good man. Tayman Brad is fully healthy for this season. Very glad about that. Damen Bush is an instant starter on this team. That's how good he is. Will Johnson is now superstar. Gino Stone gets the starting free safety slot. Adrien Taylor Demerson. I should have looked at this guy before. Gino Stone will still be nice for the nickel. I might start him. So, Carson Beck's up to a 79. Jeremiah Love's looking great. He's got abilities. I'd love to get Marv up to a superstar. Offensive line, I just got to get a right tackle. His own line is really not that bad. It's actually developing quite nicely. My right tackle is really bad. Defensively, I'm starting Ben Smith. I think Ben Smith is going to become really, really good. I should probably move M. Wilson over to where Gibbons is. Dude, I think Ben Smith is going to be so good. His focus is the love of the game. That's what you want out of your middle linebacker. And our week one game this season is a Super Bowl rematch. We are headed to Pittsburgh. I kind of like this actually, dude. And now we've got Trey McBride in our season opener. We've got Marv in our season opener. Carson Beck's looking a lot better. Dude, I just got to get Carson back to Starddev. He needs one really good season. This is honestly such a good season for Carson Beck because we got Tyreek Kill back for another season two. So, we got 99 Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, Marvin Harris, Tyreek Hill, and now superstar Jeremiah Love. And we shouldn't have too tough of a schedule since we kind of got steamrololled last season. Although, you could say that about the Cardinals in real life this season and they have such a tough schedule. Just going to do a little decoy motion here and we're just going to give this to Jeremiah Love. Hurdle. Oh, I was going to hurdle over him. You saw him go low. Speed option. This Eagles playbook has speed option. Feel like I'm playing college. I love it though. Let's go. A little speed option out to Jeremiah. Good blocks. You love seeing Tyreek Hill throw a touchdown ceiling block. You don't love that, you don't love football. Did I just see McCarthy on the Steelers? That's pretty cool. Say, "Hey, there's Gino Stone." Picking up these extra safeties has made our nickel defensive sets honestly a lot a lot better. I realized I got too many safeties when I got Brisker and Gino Stone. I I I kind of overbought there. But now Gino Stone gets to basically play sublinebacker. It working out really well for this lineup. And there's Will Johnson missing a tackle, but luckily Michael Pitman goes out of bounds. That is Pittsburgh Steeler. Michael Pitman. I'm going to blitz Sweat. I'm going to blitz Collins. We actually have good pass rush. That's Drew Aller at quarterback for the Steelers. Things change quick. Good defense. Good defense. Josh Sweat gets home. We're going to hold no field goal big time, guys. I got my first ever, if you watch my Dolphins rebuild, you watched some special teams madness and I just roughed the [ __ ] kicker. This is not the Dolphins rebuild. In the Dolphins rebuild, dude, I got my first ever blocked kick for a touchdown and it won us the game. And being all excited about it, just got Maxmelting a crucial roughing the kicker. Oh, I'm pissed at myself. All right, Ben Smith. Ben Smith's got the Palamalu hair. Check down. Check down, you [ __ ] fraud aller. I was going to clobber him. Where's Ben? Where's Ben Smith? He's not in on this set. There's a handoff. Rico Donald's going nowhere. Walter Nolan's all over it. Great defense. I'm about to have an extra safety on every team. This is awesome. That everywhere on the field, I have a really competent player. Gino Stone looking good. No way I didn't jump for that. I'm standing dead nuts on top of that football and I didn't animate for it. Oh, that sucks. Gino Stone just got a pick there. All right. You win some, you lose some, boys. Let's send some heat. This got to be a run. I'm going in the mind of a Buddha Baker for this. Oh, it's a play action. I'm in trouble. [snorts] Maybe not. Go low. Good. We are not tackling Darnell Washington high. We're not doing it. We're smarter than that. Okay. Rico Dowel. Little pistol formation. This is probably No. Play action again. They check down to Rico. That's what I get for roughing the kicker. That's what I get for roughing the kicker. Is that even the same drive as the roughing the kicker? I don't think so. That's okay. It's third and six. Carson Beck's got a chance here. And dude, stadium pulse in the NFL is so [ __ ] stupid. Can we stop it? Can I call my audible? Just kidding. It's real. I know it's real. [snorts] I think we should probably use our 99 overall demon. Trey McBride's going to pick that up. Nice work. X got 146 and an interception. Not bad. This is going to be a close game right here. Let's go right back. Let's go right back to Jeremiah Love. Going to motion McBride. Just a little decoy. He's going to come to the right side. Good looking blocks. Love will take five. Let's go. No huddle. Let's move some speed. Motion angle wheel. I'm hoping this is man cuz Trey McBride just wins. So does Tyreek. Oh, that is man. McBride green right in the corner. Carson Beck. THAT'S A DOT. THAT'S A DOT. CARSON BECK. It's 14 to 14 now. Got a game-winning drive. We got a lot of good options. Wow. I like this play a lot. This play is money. I'm going Tyreek. Air it out. What am I thinking, dude? Jaylen Ramsay. I just threw a meatball sub to 34year-old Tyreek Hill, who I had to convince to play this year with this team. But sometimes you just got to do it for the love of the game. 14 to 14. I'm expecting a handoff to Jaylen Warren. No, they're going to motion wide receiver over. It is a handoff to Jaylen Warren. Big bodies. M. Wilson. Oh, and there's a injury. M. Wilson is celebrating over Jaylen Warren's injured body. Something about that doesn't sit right. Okay, we're going to guess pass here. They're in five wide. I don't know what I'm looking at. Maybe a check down to the running back throws. [laughter] Drew Aller, can I help you? Holy [ __ ] Jaquan Brisker, let's make a play. There it is. Oh, play action. Dude, we're getting dotted up straight up. Drew Allers, light me up. This game isn't over, though. First and goal. It's not over. Let's be ready for the handoff if it's there. 205 on the clock. There's the handoff to the right side. We're on it. Huge two-minute warning is going to stop it. Let's go with Sam Will Blitz. Let's get a bunch of people up there. I got to get Dude, I got to get Drew Aller. Uncomfortable. He's absolutely lighting my [ __ ] up right now. It's pissing me off. Just going to motion one over. Motion him back. Is this a run? No, it is a pass. Ben Smith's all over it. And Aller can't get it off. Huge. Third and goal. Good defense. Let's keep the pressure on. Heavy pressure. Buddha Baker. Ben Smith in the middle. Third and goal. Huge play. Ben Smith up the gut. Aller, good defense. Williams on Metaf. We're going to force a field goal. Wow, that was such good goal line defense. Okay, Melton, no roughing the kicker. I'm just pulling off. I'm not even going for it. Okay, game-winning drive for Carson Beck. Carson Beck and Co. Clock is our friend. We're good on clock. A lot of time, lot of timeouts. Ooh. Ooh. I just wanted it. I mean, what do you want me to say? I just wanted it. Second and 10. Although I did think that Trent McBride had a corner out there and he totally didn't. Just going to go with a mesh concept. Holy [ __ ] We're bagged. Pittsburgh's completely glamping me right now. Supposed to be a cover six. Haven't got to use Marvin Harrison Jr. yet. The stadium pulse is killing Carson back. Dude, I don't have anything open. Oh my god. And he got [ __ ] tackled. Then Jaylen Ramsay is going to get a pick six, dude. Jaylen Ramsay. We need to play that back. You know what? It's embarrassing as [ __ ] Jaylen Ramsay just got a pick six. Chucked Carson back to the Nether Realm and then hit the [ __ ] 67 on me. This is my born. This is my mortal [ __ ] enemy. I hate this guy. Look at this [ __ ] And then he hit the [ __ ] 67. It's over. I mean, we can give Carson back something. Dude, they're just like completely clamping us. We're getting no separation. 99 overall. McBride's getting no separation. That's kind of crazy. I could finally get him with something right there. He keeps his feet in. Oh my god. He didn't even keep his feet in. He didn't even keep his feet in there. I green that catch, too. And that's Trey McBride. Wow. We can't Yo, we can't buy a yard today. That's a bummer. I'm going to take the check down to love. He's able to get it. We'll call a timeout and just try to punch something in. This is not the season opener you're looking for, though. I'll tell you that. One final play. Maybe we get Marv something. He's got a good release here. Green. We'll take it. We'll take it. You know, I think even if we recovered this onside, is there enough is there enough time to recover an onside and still chuck something up? Chad Ryland, what do you think, buddy? Ah, that's ball game, dude. Jaylen [ __ ] Ramsay. 21 to 24. What was the score of that Steelers Cardinal Super Bowl? It was 27 to23. Unfortunately, the Steelers still own us, but we've got time to rebuild this roster. Embarrassing loss to start the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that's when something kind of crazy happened. I slipped up to the Super Bowl to see how bad the damage was. We finished 10 and seven. If you take a look at the league right now, it's super like lopsided. Teams are either really good or really bad. There's very few teams that have an 8 and N or 9 and 8 record. It's only the Saints. The NFC West is giga stacked though. Seattle's 14-3. Rams are 12-5. We went 10-7. Tampa Bay was 13-4. Dallas was 13-4. And the Lions were 10 and seven. I'd love to be in the NFC North right now. The irony. Speaking of Super Bowl rematches, it's the 10-7 Giants against the 14-3 Patriots. Jackson Dart and Cam Scataboo taking on Drake May and AJ Brown. And I'm looking at a Scat Pack highlight. Oh my god, he's flying. Did Scataboo get a speed upgrade? He's flying. And the Giants once again are the kryptonite of the New England Patriots as they win 32 to 25 off of a ridiculous game from Cam Scataboo. They're gentle playoffs. Tampa Bay is building a real team. They've been to the NFC Championship back to back and New England had to take down the Houston Texans. Although I do see Pittsburgh in there in the divisional, so I don't feel so bad about that week one loss. Carson Beck much better stat line. 4,400. Many more touchdowns and less interceptions. Let's keep widening that gap. And I'll feel good about this. Jeremiah Love Bellcow this season. Although I this is crazy. 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns. Agir still had 13 touchdowns. There must be some like goal line play that is just so good for the backup in the Eagles playbook cuz Jar Love had way more carries this season, but he had 13 touchdowns shark. Tyreek, this is actually crazy. Tyreek is not slot wide receiver. He's wide receiver 2. He's still putting up absurd numbers. This is a great free agent signing. 15-9. Marv looking even better. Trey McBride getting in the end zone six times. Awesome. Defensively, where were we? Zavan Collins balling out again. Josh Sweat and Walter Nolan. Another four interceptions out of Garrett Williams and two out of Will Johnson. Looking around the entire league, Zack Baughn leads the league in sacks. What the hell is that? I don't like that. That's cursed. CD Lamb leads the league in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. That's hell of a feat. The number one rusher was Scataboo with 1515 touchdowns. Although Jeremiah Love is not too far behind this. And the best passer was Justin Herbert almost finding 5,000 yards. Caught up by Shador Sanders. Top three on the Browns. 4,736 and 13. That's actually crazy. Ah wow. Mendoza's way up there too. Ty Simpson's way up there. Tyler Shock's way up there. Carson Beck's way up there. Whoa. The league is looking weird. No Momes. No Lamar. Hello guys. Am I going insane? Where is Patrick Mahomes? Must be injured or something. Where are the Chiefs, guys? The Chiefs aren't even on here. Am I going insane? The Chiefs are not listed at all in passing yards. I'm not going insane. Let's go to the team. What is going on in Kansas City? Oh, did Mahomes retire or something? Mahomes wants to retire. Why would Mahomes retire? Maybe he's a free agent. I'm so confused by that. It's probably something simple that I just don't understand. It's really not a big deal, though. Here's the thing. Okay, Bucky Irving is available. We actually are using two running backs a lot. Wouldn't it be kind of crazy to have like Jeremiah Love and Bucky Irving? So, there's always a crazy running back getting the ball. He's getting a lot of time. Dude, I'm about to do it. I'm going to give him an offer. Who knows if we land him, but I'm going to give him an offer. We got a lot of cap space. It's a thick deal, but Bucky Irving likes it. There's a lot of teams interested though. I'd love an offensive lineman that I can move to left tackle. Zack Frasier. He's a center, but all the big boys can play all along the O line, you know. Oh, he told me to get [ __ ] Oh my god, he's not interested at all. Ooh, McGllinchi would be nice. I need a right tackle. Huge. Okay, free agency frenzy. We landed Mike McGllinchi. I really needed a right tackle. Perfect. 79 overall. Got him for at least a year. We'll see if he sticks around. He's pretty old, so he might retire. Bucky Irving went to the Ravens. Zay Flowers went to the Rams. Although I have another negotiation period with Zack Frasier. See if we can convince him. Wow. O line just got really good. So, we landed 88 overall Zack Frasier, 27year-old star center, and McGllinchi. And then Evan McFerson, superstar kicker, has no offers. Free agency Frenzy is a little busted. It's a cool new feature, but it's kind of broken. So, like I'm going to be able to swoop in here and just pick up McFerson with little to no effort. Yeah, like that's crazy. McFerson is a Cardinal now. Superstar kickers are so freaking good in this game. I'm so happy about that. As much as I love Buddha Baker, he's kind of on his last legs here. He went from a 90 to an 84 overall. He's starvactor to star. And we've got round one pick 18. I want to see what kind of offers we can get for this star dev Dexter Lawrence. Although we have Walter Nolan, Tyreek Hill is no longer a Cardinal. Marvin Harrison Jr. I cannot get him to superstar. The Saints are offering Chris Olive. And we still get the second. We get their second this year. So they trade up to the first round pick. Get Buddha Baker. This is a no-brainer. The Steelers would damn the Steelers would give me a first, a third, a fifth, and Watt, but TJ Watt is 33. I'm not certain that we're going to win it this upcoming year. Oh, just kidding. The trade is technically available with the Saints, but due to salary cap, it cannot be accepted. Never mind. For the first round pick by itself, the Browns would toss me, who's a goat. The Falcons would give me Jesse Bates. Okay, I'm going to be honest with you guys. Trades are just too busted. I could set trade difficulty to hard. Let's do that. I'm going to set trade difficulty to hard. And now I'll allow myself a trade. Wow. They would still give me Schwessinger. The Falcons would give me Jaylen Wadd. The Saints would give me Jordan Tyson, 88 overall, 24 years old. Okay, I mean, come on. Every team has negative cap. You can't even really trade with anyone at all. Literally almost every single team has negative cap. I don't know how EA hasn't fixed this yet. So, no team in the league can trade. Okay. Okay. Who wants to explain this to me? The Steelers are -5 in cap. And if I were to trade for DK Metaf, they go further into a deficit and now I can't trade with them. What is it? Like dead cap or is this bugged? I think it might be dead cap. I literally can't even trade with any team in the league other than the Browns. I could trade with the Browns. Let's call that my karmic justice for attempting to trade. We're just going to use our draft pick. Now, we can view our offers. Basically, trade down and load up on picks. I think our team's in a really good spot. I don't think I want to trade down. All these quarterbacks are more or less bust at least for the first round. I do want a wide receiver. I'm surprised that we haven't been able to develop Marvin Harrison Jr. Tyreek's been stealing all his reps. Oh, wa. Gerard Jeffrey looks insane. 61 deep threat out of Old Miss. Elite speed and excel and he's 6-1. Holy [ __ ] Gerard. Come on, buddy. Number eight in True Value, round one pick, 18 wide receiver. He's number 87. I love it. He's That's a [ __ ] monster. All that [ __ ] at the age of 22. That guy's on TRD. 97 speed, 97 Excel. That is exactly what we need. Oh my god, he's going to be an animal. I'm so glad we didn't trade that pick. You got to love the Atlanta Falcons picking up two kickers in free agent frenzy. They picked up a punter also. Damn, they really wanted their special teams. Jeffrey's a 79 overall. Dude, this guy's going to be an animal. That's one of the best wide receivers I've picked up in a long time in a draft class. See if there's anything better in the whole class. There was an 82 right guard, an 81 strong safety, an 80 overall quarterback. Yeah, that was a pretty strong class. But Jeffrey was the sixth best player in the class, tied for fifth, and he's the fastest player in the entire class. 97 speed, 97 XL. Okay, heading into this third season, actually really, really like our lineup. So, we've got Kowalsski, hidden dev, backup running back. really would have loved to have landed Bucky Irving in that free agent frenzy. Jeffrey is going to be an animal. Trey McBride still is. And our O line got a huge boost. Zack Frasier and McGllinchi. The O line's looking nasty. Defensively, Ben Smith holds down the middle. Gino Stone, Buddha Baker probably got one more year left in him. Zav Collins, Walter Nolan, Will Johnson is a 91. Will Johnson is now the highest overall player on our defense. We got to work through a new contract for Trey McBride, though. This is essential. We have to work through this. With Trey McBride, I'm kind of in like a I'll literally pay you anything and he's already super interested. We can't lose Trey McBride. I love it. We're kicking this season off with a win against Tampa Bay. Now we're hosting the Buffalo Bills. James Cook, Josh Allen, Greg Rouso are their top three. Trey McBride, Jeremiah Love, Walter Nolan are ours. And Seattle's already got a loss. It's going to be a really good season for us. I don't know if we have the rivalry uniform still. Put him on. Look at Big Red. The air raid siren protect the nest. So, we get Carson Beck getting the team geeked up. It's a cloudy day in Arizona. It doesn't happen very often. We're getting the hype up. We're getting the Josh Allen, Khil Shakir hype up. Jeremiah Love already got 20 carries on the season. Although only got 67 yards in that season opener and it's red zone alert. Got the rivalry unis on. Looks kind of bizarre against this Bills white. Dude, I'm such a sucker for the rivalry uniforms. I think they're so beautiful. We're going to go with some mesh here to start this out. I'm going to be honest. It's been a long time that I've got an offensive rookie of the year. I feel like out of all the rebuilds I've done, I haven't gotten offensive rookie of the year in at least five of them. Maybe we can feed the ball in to Gerard Jeffrey. Dude, this is the thing about Gerard Jeffrey. He's Tyreek Hill Speed, but he's 6'1. He's actually a little bit faster than Tyreek, although it was an older Tyreek. I'm going to get Wilson out of the way here. I'm going to see if Jeffrey can get single coverage. He is. Gerard Jeffrey, are you built like that? Okay, that was maybe the stupidest animations I've ever seen. Third and five. Buffalo's leaving a lot of room for Jeremiah Love. Can we hold our blocks? No, we cannot. Damn, dude. We have such a good old line. There's no excuse for that. Fourth and two. I think we got to go for it. Give me something unique, coach. Oh, they're giving us a lot more room again. They're not getting the They're not getting that again. Jeremiah's going to get there. Ooh, ran his ass over. Jeremiah Love running him over for the first. That's huge. And this goes to Gerard Jeffrey. Jet touch pass to the rookie. I want to get him rolling, dude. Oh my god, he's fast as [ __ ] Those blocks were pitiful, but he's fast. It's okay. Johnson way too long. What a goated coach. Manned up. Manned up. Jeffrey, he's not quite in. He's not quite in. He's close. It's just no huddle. Something similar. Oh, number 99 just manned up and lurked. Dude, I saw number 99 in coverage and I thought for sure I'm throwing that ball. No, I just got [ __ ] demon lurked by a left edge rusher. It was textbook zone coverage. WHAT WAS THAT? DUDE, I COULDN'T BELIEVE HE FOLLOWED HIM. I thought he was H. It probably wasn't a good ball either way. That's crazy. I'm sorry, Carson Beck. Oh my goodness. Okay, you win some, you lose some. I'm sorry, Gerard Jeffrey. Wow, that's quite the moment. Ser, it is 28 to zero and I get to touch the ball again. Oh, wow. Buffalo's not playing around. Maybe Gerard Jeffrey is Hey, green. I keep getting Gerard Jeffrey so close, but I'm not getting him in the end zone. And I really want to get him in the end zone. No, let's be smart. Let's go get our touchdown. Be smart, gentlemen. Be smart. I got an easy one to my boy Marv who drops it in the end zone. Maybe not an easy one. I think we go Jeremiah Love. I think the real easy one is Jeremiah Love. Thank you, Jeremiah. Jeremiah, I don't know if we should be doing that, Sally. Down 28 to7, but I respect it. That's crazy. That was an ass whooping. 28 to7. The schedule gives and the schedule takes. So, this season we go 9 and 8, but that's enough for a playoff spot. Unfortunately, we take an early exit in the playoffs as the Seahawks and the Chargers are duking it out in the third Super Bowl of our franchise. I'm loving our team. We're probably one big player away from making it. I'm hoping free agency could be amazing. And this is a ridiculous run. There is no way that's a touchdown. Who is that? Is that DeAndre Swift? No, it's Jaden Price. Jadarian Price just did a little Marshon Lynch. Oh my god, that was an ass. And this was not a close Super Bowl. Seattle gets another resounding Super Bowl victory to 17. And I just lied to you. We made it to the NFC Championship. I thought we were out in the wild card. All right, NFC Championship appearance. NFC Championship appearance on a 9 and8 season is actually kind of crazy. I shouldn't have simmed all the way up to the Super Bowl. I didn't realize we had such a good chance. Regardless, our team's in a good spot. We're not losing any big players. We have 95 mil in cap and a free agency frenzy coming up. We've already resigned Trey McBride. Carson Beck is still on his very small deal. Now, it's free agency frenzy and there are some monsters. And this is what I mean about free agency frenzy being kind of broken. I'm going to St. Brown. every team is offering on him. CD Lamb is the next best wide receiver. Only the Browns are offering on him, right? So, you kind of just get like the best player at the position gets loaded with offers, but the second and third bats don't even really get them. So, CD Lamb is like super realistic to come here now. Although, we don't really need a wide receiver would be nice. Dexter Lawrence has no offers. I'd love to add him. Lindstöm has no offers. Trey Smith has a million. It doesn't make a lot of sense. T. Higgins barely has offers. This is a crazy good free agency. I got to go for CD Lamb. We've got Schmeckles. He cares a lot about his yearly salary and bonus. I mean, this would take our team to the next level. CD Lamb is very interested early. It's between us and the Browns. Dexter Lawrence with no offers. This seems like a no-brainer. He really wants his contract to be worth a lot. I've got a lot of cap space. He'd go great next to Walter Nolan. He already loves it. Scat Pack has a million offers. Take a look at this. Alex Highmith with no offers. Yeah, this system's kind of busted. I almost feel bad. I genuinely almost feel bad. I feel like I'm abusing this mechanic, but it's kind of EA's job to do this correctly. So, how would superstar Alex Heismith not have a single? Like, nobody wants him. He's just going to go to free agency. Null Williams, 87 overall, no offers. Just give him some big guaranteed money. Get me up to 100%. Bang. All right, let's sim forward an hour. Alex Highmith, Arizona Cardinal. Nah Williams, Arizona Cardinal. And the biggest of them all. [laughter] This is insane. This is actually insane. CD Lamb, Arizona Cardinal. Dexter Lawrence, Arizona Cardinal. Holy [snorts] [ __ ] If I Oh my god. Gerro Jeff and X Factor. If I can't win a Super Bowl with this roster, it would be time for to hang it up. I mean, genuinely, if I can't win it with this roster, I just can't win it. We have three Xfactors on offense. Carson Beck hilariously will not get start, but he's actually getting pretty good. Like he's an 86 overall with great accuracies and he's just a normal dev still. Jeremiah Love is funny to me because he's a hard 99 overall, but he is still superstar. He's amazing, but no X factor. Doesn't really matter because CD Lamb is here and so is Jeffrey. So is McBride. And then defense, Ben Smith holds down the middle. Brisker is up to a superstar. So that ended up being a good free agency pickup as Buddha Baker is now retired. And the Dline is stacked. Unfortunately, Alex Highmith is injured, but when he's back, the Dline will be even better. We still have Josh Sweat, Lawrence Nolan, Zavan Collins, Will Johnson, and then we even got no Williams. I literally feel bad about that free agency frenzy. It's just it's ridiculous. We've even got Evan McFersonson. Everything is covered on this lineup. Holy [ __ ] dude. Look at this. Carson Beck is amongst the top players in the league like Shadur Sanders and Tony Pritchette. Carson Beck leads the league with 5,200 passing yards and 44 touchdowns. City Lamb has 1,800 yards and 20. Null Williams has six interceptions. Oh my god. Jeremiah Love hit 1,29. Kowalsski sharped 12. Gerro Jeffrey cooked as well. Defensively it was Collins. Alex Highmith, Walter Nolan doing the most. This is crazy. Also, why is Shador Sanders like a titan of the league? It's four years in the future and Carson Beck is now Patrick Mahomes and Shador Sanders is Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, who do you want to call him? I don't know. Also, I forgot to mention Gerard Jeffrey did win offensive rook of the year last year. Naturally, we have no wildcard game because we went 15 and2. So, our first playoff game, wo is against the reigning Super Bowl champions, the 12 and5 Seattle Seahawks who have Jackson Smith and Jigba at a 99 overall. Jaren Price and Byron Murphy. We've got three 99 overalls in our top three though. Trey McBride, Jordan Love. Jordan Love. Jordan Love, Matt. Jordan Love, Jeremiah Love. Look at this team. So stacked. Just two bird teams duking it out in Glendale. Blue skies. Cardinals are 15-2. That is crazy. The Seahawks got a safety and a field goal. It is currently 5 to7. Not a score you're going to see very often. But we do get to pick up with a moment here. Carson Beck absolutely balling. Potential MVP. And Johnson way too long. Wants me to go for a cheat inside zone here. Seattle's going to blitz. And Jeremiah Love's going to turn he's going to turn that into seven yards. That's a good run. This is a crazy play by the way. This playbook is so cool. motion wide receiver outside zone. We're handing this off to our speed demon Gerard Jeffrey who's going to come in the back field for the outside zone and he is so damn fast. But I can't get the juke off and it's third and two. Shoot. No worries, dude. I trust this team so much. There's just so many ballers out here. Jeffrey Lamb. CD Lamb's got single coverage. I like that's actually a good route and a good ball. He just didn't get his head around fast enough. I like that play. We're going to go fourth to two. We're going to go for this in the playoffs. This is a read flat to Trey McBride. And I think McBride's going to be there. Hold your blocks. He's got it. And he fights into the end zone. Let's go McBride. And he's just going to hit a little handstand cuz why not? Okay, we're in a really good spot here. 5 to4 twominute drill. This is a little scary here, but Gerard Jeff so fast. I wonder if he can't just take him over the top here. Don't need to. Carson back MVP by the way. That's MVP Carson Beck, by the way. Not sure if you guys were aware. I'm run the same thing. I just got to find a way to get Jeffrey a big a big throw. I'm going to try it. Oh, I'm so lucky. Seahawks almost just got another safety. Okay, third and six. Now we're digging ourselves a bit of a hole. Jeffrey's got press coverage, which is bold. It's just so many good players to throw this ball to. See what we got on this. Stepping up in the pocket MVP. Wow. Carson Beck. Who are you? He's Carson back as if he is. Try corner strike. I'm really just I'm just baiting out man cover. I'm trying to get single single cover man. Ooh Trey McBride. A little out in front of him. Little out in front of him. 2221. Let's call timeout. Good call Johnson. Good call Johnson. Post rail here. Trey McBride. Same route. Same literally the same scenario. Just just a little bit in front of him. It's going to pick up a lot of yards. He call another timeout. Oh, just the air raid is just killing it right now. Carson Beck is hot as he kind of should be. And Trey McBry's Whoa. Super overthrow by Carson Beck. I'm using Carson Beck like he's a 99 overall Xfactor and he's not. I think I need to sit in his pocket, step up, and just keep delivering good passes here. And that's a not what I need. Can't let him house it. 5 seconds on the clock. Get a field goal out of it. Dude, I'm an interception machine with Carson back. They do get a field goal. Oh, it's 8 to 14. It's third and six. Got to make a big stop here to hold him. Highmith sweat. Wow. We do have a lot of pass rush though. Jaquan Brisker a superstar on defense. I'm guessing pass. Sam Darnold's got to get this off quick. And I'm okay if he does. Walter Nolan home to another field goal. It's 11 to 14 now and it's third and one. I need to use Jeremiah Love. I'm getting so fancy with it when we've got a great O line and Jeremiah Love. Let's give him the ball and let's go get a yard. M That's a yard. It's an ugly arm. It's a yard. Big field goal right here. 43 yds. It's fourth and seven. This is why we got Evan McFersonson. This is why we got a superstar kicker is to make these kicks a heck of a lot easier. Look at that. The slow meter is just a cheat code. The slow meter is crazy. It makes field goals so trivial. If you don't have it, you can easily miss deep field goals. But with the slow meter, you got to have your eyes shut to miss those. Okay, Will Johnson. Brisker. Third and four. Another huge stop. Jadarium price in motion. This is a pass for sure. [snorts] No, we need a big dude. What is that? What is that? It's 18 to 17. I don't know what happened on that Gino Stone tackle, but that's not what I was going for. I'll tell you that. First and 10. I'm kicking this off with Jeremiah Love and Pro Holtz. Oh, you give me a second there. We get so much. That's a good play by the DTackle. DTackle number 13, by the way. Not something you see very often. Second and eight. Stay in the pocket. Stay strong. Oh my goodness. The blitz got home. That had no business getting home. Somebody's supposed to pick that up. Five blockers, five blitzers. Now it's third and eight. 249. We got to make a huge play. Who's it going to be? Another blitzer. I'm taking the check down. Can he? Oh my god. Jeremiah Love. That was all Jeremiah Love. As we're going to go pinpull toss. We just need a little field goal out of McFersonson to win this pinpull toss. Good looking blocks. Another good block. Emmon War can't catch me. Jeremiah Love almost turned that into a touchdown. Huge play. Now we burn some clock. Now we play smart. We're going to go with a counter here on first and 10. See what this O line can do. Jeremiah. Okay, that was really awkward, but it worked for a yard. 18 to 17. We're in range for McFersonson. Can we pull off all this clock, though? Seattle still has three timeouts. They probably know. They'll probably burn a timeout after this run right here. I'm actually going to go with a mesh concept here. Seattle's been running really strong man coverage. I'm going to clear out Jeffrey. I'm going to clear out CD Lamb [music] and I'm just going to hit somebody underneath. Beautiful Marv first. Gorgeous. Exactly what we needed right there. You know, this play hasn't worked very well for us yet, but Jeffrey is just so fast. I want to trust him. I'm giving Gerard Jeffrey the jet touch pass. Those are good blocks. Big spin. Hey, I'll take it. McDonald's got a timeout there. Understandably, we're looking at a second and five. And you know what? I'm going to give a jet sweep to CD Lamb now. Maybe the jet sweep is going to be how we win this game. I'm bringing another motion man this time. CD Lamb out to the edge. His spin not as lethal as Gerro Jeff. Still get two yards though. And I think this is just Jeremiah loves time. If we get the first, we win the game. Divisional reigning Super Bowl champions. Go Jeremiah. Oh, he's got it. And more. First goal of the three. This is all but over. I shouldn't score here. We don't want the touchdown here. Just run this a few times. Let that clock milk. Just sit nice and patient. Don't fumble. Cover up the football. We'll go with the hops split zone. This is a fun little play right here. Second and goal. Clock's ticking. We want no time on the left when McFersonson kicks this. We'll hop skip. There's Jeremiah Love. He's down and it's time for McFersonson to end this game. I don't know why you're I don't know why you're celebrating. Here it is. Evan McFersonson slow meter divisional playoff win against one of the toughest teams in the NFL. I think if I go a A and then hold it on accuracy. Yep. It'll let me wait this down all the way to three 2 snap. Clock expires. That got a lot closer than it should have been, especially when I threw that interception. But 18 to 20 Cardinals take the win and we're moving on to the NFC Championship. Well, look who it is. The NFC Championship is against the Eagles who got Cam Scaboo. They got Cam Scaboo in free agency frenzy. He's going to be crazy. We've got the same playbook. They're 13-4. We're 15-2. This is a big one. Our first moment is a big first quarter drive. You know what? I think I'm a little bit frustrated with my own passiveness. We have the craziest receiving core in the National Football League. We have 99 McBride, 99 CD Lamb, and the best rookie in football right now. Holy [ __ ] dude. I'm blocking six against four, and you come untouched. All righty. I mean, I was going to air that thing out. Didn't get an opportunity. Why is Kowalsski in? Second and 18. Kowalsski's in. I'm risking a safety. Kowalsski is going to give me three. And this is a really tough start to this game. I said I wanted to air it out. This is a perfect time. We're going to go gunwing. Going to bring some extra blockers in. CD Lamb's got Cooper Dejid on him. There's one safety up top. Maybe McBride. I want a big green catch. Third and 15. LET'S MAKE A PLAY. CD. GO MAKE A PLAY. Cooper Jane the great white hope. Dude, I green that too. Just good defense. It's time we bring out the punter. Gillicanin's going to do what he can here. I do not get full power. That's not good. Oh my god, that almost got blocked. Burke got to make a big play. That's a great open field tackle right there. That's a really rough start to this game. And we got a big third down. Oh, it's third and 16 though. They might not be in field goal range. Can we get home with Highmith? If gets home, we're getting this. Here we go. Let's guess pass. They got to motion Lemon over. Where's Scataboo? [music] I don't see Scataboo, Jaylen Herz, Saxter, Dexter, bang. And they're not in field goal range, so they got to put that away. Defense made up for our pitiful offensive drive. And I don't know what this play is, but I do not like it. I need McBride. McBride go make a play. Go make a play. Look at that green window. McBride, dude. CD Lamb had nothing like that. I mean, I know it depends on the coverage and everything, but wow, that could have been easier. 70-0. Exactly what we're looking for. Now Scataboo is back in. They're passing Smitty. I don't even know how we tackled him. That could have been a touchdown. It's going to be a red zone alert. Wow, this is a lot more offensive of a game than the last one. I'm blitzing here. I think this is going to scaboo. It's second and seven. Stone come down. It's an RPO. That's a hospital pass. But Kai Lemon got smacked right there. We go a little little Tampaoo Blitz here. Dime blitz. And I'm going to have Ben Smith ready in case this goes to Scataboo. Let's make a play. It doesn't go to Scataboo. Let's wait patiently. Jaylen Herz under pressure. Bagged up. Noah Williams. Free agent. Max Melton. Come on, Max. Come on, Max. No roughing the kickers this time. He's not going to get it. Okay, they get three. And it's a two-minute drill. What is this play? Emotion spot here. Super simple play. We can check it down to Kowalsski, but that's what I want. Oh my god, McBr. That was so glitchy. So glitchy. Darn it. I guess I didn't green that. I really thought I did. The green meter is weird sometimes. Feels like it like changes where you release it sometimes. I don't know how to describe it. Holy catch. Gerard Jeffrey. Quintono Bay was draped all over that. And Gerard Jeffrey still came down with it. Let's keep making plays. Oh, I had Jeffrey. Then Carson Beck gets clobbered. Not what I'm looking for. I had Jeffrey. NFC Championship. That's a big misread for me right there. I think this team is just so good. I have no excuse not to hit these. Wow. See, like right there, didn't that look like I was right in the green window and it was yellow. I don't know. First and 10. Either way, he caught it. Thank you, CD Lamb, for making up for my mistakes. First and 10. They're going to blitz. Let's get Jeremiah Love behind it somehow. Maybe not. Time out. Second and seven. Can't get Love going on the ground right now. This Eagles defense is is incredible. We're going to go verticals. We're going to stay passing. And Gerard, I just need you to use that speed. And that's exactly what HE DOES. BUT HE BUMPED AND HE CAUGHT IT. And he caught it. But I don't think we have a timeout, do we? Or I think I just used my only timeout. 12 seconds. 7 to three. I'm going to risk one big one. I'm going to risk one big one and that's it. I'm hoping that this can be man and McBride will have a chance here. Not really. Just got to get rid of this with Carson. Second and 10. 7 seconds. It's time for McFersonson. We got to be smart. as badly as I want to air one more out and just give McBride a chance to green it. I'm letting McFersonson drill this. I'm so glad we picked him up in free agency. 10 to three, 17 to three. We like insta scored. I don't know what happened, but fourth and two. That's good for us. Oh my god, they have Jordan Love again. Wait, this is the same thing as last franchise in the Dolphins rebuild in the fourth year. The Eagles, despite still having Jaylen Herz. Oh, JAQUAN. DUDE, this is so weird. I've only played two franchises in Madden 27. The Dolphins rebuild. The Eagles did the exact same thing. Also, somehow we just throw pick six in the sim because 10 to 17 and they're back in the red zone. What is going on? So, they pick up Jordan Love again. I guess this is an Eagles thing in every conceivable universe. Jaylen Herz gets benched for Jordan Love. That's crazy. All right, first and 10. We're manned up here. What I'm shocked is I haven't seen much of Scataboo at all. I think what I'm most shocked about. Smitty. Smitty. Good tackle. Second of two. We need to stop here. I don't know how it's 10 to 17 right now. Well, there is Scataboo. I think it's going to Scaboo. I'm on Brisker for this handoff. There it is. There it is. Dexter Lawrence. Big play, kid. Big play. Okay, we're going, man. We're guessing pass. I got to be on Scataboo here with Ben Smith. They're going to motion one over. Oh no. Is this a run? Is this a run? It's a pass. WE'RE ON IT. BEN SMITH'S ON IT. JORDAN LOVE'S DOWN. ARE THEY GOING to take this field goal? Wow. Huge stop. We're going to hold the lead here no matter what. Melton, why not, Melton? Why not? Ah, I'm so scared of a roughing the kicker again. 13 to 17. I got to get an offensive moment. Huge. Huge. 13 to 17. I do. And I'm hitting him with Jeremiah Love. I'm hitting him with Jeremiah Love. Big time. Good cut. Took a big hit. We got seven. Time out. Serriani. I'm feeling aggressive. I'm just going to be honest. I'm feeling aggressive. Nobody's on Jeremiah Love. Oh, somebody is. Holy [ __ ] Clobbered. Huge. We're in full house. Wait, I actually love this. I would love to pass out of this. Let's get CD Lamb one. Why not? I mean, we spent so much on CD Lamb that huge contract. COME ON, CD. WHY NOT? DAMN, Cooper Dean is clamping and he's bagging that up. I see single coverage. I see the green meter, but they're having none of it. Second and 10. That's okay. I'm not taking my foot off the gas. They don't got a soul on Jeremiah Love for real this time. Huge juke, a big stiff arm, and he's almost in the end zone. Damn, our offense just came alive. CD Lamb, redeem yourself, kid. Huge route money. CD Lamb could only get bagged up so many times. He's too good. That's huge. And Arizona is able to close this one out. NFC championship goes to the Cardinals. Really wasn't going down without a fight, but um I do not understand the Eagles obsession with just getting Jordan Love and benching Jaylen Herz. Jordan Love, zero touchdowns, 148. Carson Beck, good game. I'm glad we stuck with Carson Beck, even if I have struggled with him in this rebuild. All that leaves is our Super Bowl contenders, the New England Patriots, who are 9 and8 back in the Super Bowl again after losing to the Giants already in this franchise. Drake May 99, Gonzo 99, Trayvon Henderson 96. A damn good team. The 9 and8 Patriots make it. The biggest game of the season. We're in Raymond James Stadium. We're in the white uniforms finally. I do really like these uniforms. And our first moment is a red zone alert. What more could you want? Carson Beck, Jeremiah Love, Trey McBride, Gerard Jeffrey, CD Lamb. This is um I mean I don't want to say this team is unrecognizable. Damn, good defense out of a linebacker. Stuck with McBride. The team is, you know, Carson back, Jeremiah Love, Trey McBride, that core is the same. Wide receivers are significantly different. There is still a Marvin Harrison Jr., but not the same. Jeremiah Love with a linebacker on him. I like that. I like that a lot. We strike first in the Super Bowl and our next moment is to make a big stop on third down. I'm sending the blitz. I'm sending Richie Rich. Let's go get Drake mate. What do you want Drake? What do you want Drake? [snorts] Oh yeah. Good blocks out of Trayvon, but we're able to swat that pass down. Fourth and 15. They're going to settle for three and take it. But no offensive moment. Déja vu. Third and 15, but this time I get to blitz with Ben Smith. My little Palamalu, one of our first draft picks and an excellent one at that. And Drake May's in trouble. DARIUS ROBINSON. AND THAT KNOCKS HIM OUT OF field goal range. Forces a punt. And now we get a third and four. Huge, huge, huge, huge. You're press covering Gerard Jeffrey. Look at that. Look at that mismatch. Gerard Jeffrey 97 speed. Gonzo's on CD Lamb. Gerard Jeffy's going to torch him. He does. Got to grade it. AND WE DO. I TELL YOU WHAT, SOME of our draft picks were huge whiffs, but the ones we hit on were monsters. Gerard Jeffrey and Ben Smith, and those guys just teleported. That's how good of teammates they are. They teleported to Gerard Jeffrey to celebrate with him. Beautiful ball out of Carson Beck. Single press coverage with nobody over the top on the fastest wide receiver in the National Football League. Vel, you got to get you got to get your head out of the pini if you want to win this one. I don't know if I don't know if Rabel's still their coach in this to be honest. Shouldn't say that. McBride's got a linebacker on him. Jeffy's got similar coverage, but that's Christian Gonzalez. Yeah. Okay, Vel made a good adjustment and he went and put Gonzo on Jeffrey right there. Although not this time. It's really just where they're lined up. He's not He's not shadowing him. Second and 10. Ooh, hello CD Lamb. Can we make a big move? Big juke. Doesn't have it. Carson Beck is having his one of his best games of the season right now. Already 195 yards from the second quarter of the Super Bowl. Let's see what we got here. Jeremiah. Oh, that's a wheel. Oh my god, he caught it. I thought that was a flat second and inches. It works for us though. And the air raid is going crazy right now. And I see single. What are we doing? Patriots McBride find a window. Green bean [ __ ] rushed for it. What a huge catch, dude. The offense offense is unbelievable right now. Had a few struggle bus games with this offense, but look at us right now. It's just a beautiful, beautiful thing. I'm stepping up Carson Beck. Nobody's over there, but Carson Beck's slow as [ __ ] HE MADE IT. HE MADE IT. OH, 21-10. The offense is lights out. New England gets three. We get a red zone alert. Cheat cross. I kind of like this play. Let's try this right here. We can check this down to Marv. Marv is like the most slept on player on this team. I'm kind of glad I took the sack. I would have thrown an interception if I threw that. Everybody's cooking in this Super Bowl right now. Everybody's cooking. Trey McBride, LINEBACKER ON. AH, NUTS. Good defense. Damn, I'm so impressed with some of these swat downs they're getting. I am genuinely so impressed. We are in Evan McFersonson range. It's third and 21. We shouldn't risk this. Let's just motion CD Lamb as a little decoy and give this to Jeremiah. Who knows? Maybe he'll do something crazy. Oh my god, those are GREAT BLOCKS. WAIT A MINUTE. JEREMIAH STRAIGHT OVER TOP. BUT it's not enough for the first. Holy [ __ ] Let me see that again. Oh, I'm not supposed to be in no huddle in the Super Bowl. 21-13. Jeremiah Love goes literally straight over top. And what am I doing? Oh, we can't call back toback timeouts. So, I got to get a penalty here. If you hit RB enough, I think you just get one. Yeah. Fourth and nine. McFersonson. It's going to give us the two possession lead. Game ain't over. Game ain't over, but we're in a good spot right here. Wow. Fourth and two. The game could be over if we get this stop here. Ben Smith. Oh my god. Are they running this? That Trayvon's 96 overall, BUT BEN SMITH, oh my god, they don't even have a chance. Oh, dude. Our Dline is so good. And we're instantly back in the red zone. Wow. That was gutsy. I mean, I get why they had to do it, but they're just in so much trouble now. Trey. Uh-oh. That could have been an interception. I don't know how that wasn't an interception. New England's got to go for it on fourth down again. And I'm just having a Ben Smith career mode. Come on, Ben. Come on, Big Ben. Get through Drake. [laughter] Darius Robinson. We have seven sacks. We're completely dominating them. This is the most lopsided Super Bowl I think I've ever played in. It's usually a really close game, but we can just do whatever we want right now. Jeremiah love fourth and inches. Let's go for it. [ __ ] him. Literally, [ __ ] him. Let's go for it. I'm in a QB sneak. Oh, the QB sneak meter. We get to use the QB sneak meter with Carson Beck. I've never used this yet in Madden 27 at all. I haven't used this. We're totally doing it. We are in Eagles playbook. Here we go. That's a fit green meter right there. We need an inch. Come on, Cars. Come on. Come on. He got lit up, but he got it. Who's going to be Super Bowl MVP? So many candidates. First and 10. The Patriots know we're running. Clearly. Why don't we give them a pass then? They want to play it all smart. You're lying, New England. Dude, I'm like deep in the green there and it just teleports back to yellow. I think I just got to hold the meter a little longer than I think. H. Cars are being so slow. How did I not get that with McBride? That's okay. That's okay cuz we got another opportunity right here. I'm going to block you. I'm going to block you. Let's see where we get the coverage we like. Fourth and 20. That's where we get the coverage we like. Well, I did green it. I just got picked off. But this does give us one more opportunity to stop New England. Who am I going to be here? I'm going to be saving Collins. Let's be saving Collins today. That was a crazy animation. Why not let me have one more coach? Why not let me have one more coach? I think Carson Bank's going to get it right. I mean, the way this game's going. Go Jeremiah. Go Jeremiah. Oh my god. That's just so disrespectful. It's personal for Arizona. Going for two. Going for two, by the way. Trey. Oh my god. Tight. Tight. Tight. 39 to 13. Oh wow. We have built a god squad. 15-2 in the regular season. 39-13. And who do we want to be for the final play of the game? Let me be N Williams. Let me be our free agent pickup, Nah Williams, for the for Drake Mays. Hail Mary. For Drake May's checkdown. [music] It's the Super Bowl, Drake. It's the Super Bowl, Drake. Give yourself a chance. We're playing career mode, baby. See if we can bait out an interception. Oh, he might. Oh, he might. Bush. Bush. Damian. Damn. >> [gasps] >> That was literally the most resounding Super Bowl victory that I have ever had. Throw it up there, baby. And we retained a lot of true Cardinals talent. And there's Johnson. Way too long. And a whole shitload of confetti. Red and white confetti looks beautiful. Arizona. Yeah. E like tripled the amount of confetti. Kind of makes it hard to see sometimes. Look how much like that's crazy. That's a hurricane. Carson Beck's up there with Johnson way too long. Maybe he's our Super Bowl MVP. We retained Xavan Collins, Will Johnson, Trey McBride, Jeremiah Love. We added some monsters. Just so many monsters to this team. Oh yeah, Carson Beck had a rushing touchdown. Carson Beck has to win Super Bowl MVP. 23 for 31, three touchdowns, two interceptions. Jeremiah was 36 on the ground. Nothing crazy. McBride had 95 in a Tutty. CD Lamb had almost 100. Grod had 81 in a Tutty. It's going to Carson Beck. Take a look at the history of this league. Carson Beck is Super Bowl MVP for the first time ever. The Arizona Cardinals are Super Bowl champions. Johnson way too long gets coach of the year. CD Lamb gets offensive player of the year and we're Super Bowl champions. And like oh my god, Carson Beck automatically goes up to superstar off of that. Jeremiah Love is Xfactor. Dude, this team would continue to be good for so long, too. That's the thing. Like, it's not like we sold our future to build this team. This team would be good for a long time. Carson Beck, my glorious king. All right, boys. I hope you enjoyed this Cardinals rebuild. I love you. Thanks for watching as always and I'll see you in the next video. Peace. [music]
