I love these long form “season in a video” formats for the side projects! I hope they don’t replace the episodic format like the BSC but its cool to see this format especially when the rebuild is for a specific type of challenge like the parameters you set for yourself here
FYI, that SS Keys you passed up on wasn’t a gem but his stats were pretty insane. 88 speed with 80 zone coverage. I think you should look at the raw stats just as much as whether or not they are a gem, avoiding busts is a good move but some of the non-gem guys can still be insanely good!
@ For sure! No worries on it, I love series like this because they allow you to learn new things and tweak your strategies as they play out, and we as viewers learn from that too. Just part of learning what works best! Also I LOVE the full season in a video format, I know it probably takes way longer to put together but I’ve been enjoying watching pieces of the video here and there! I’m through the bowl game so almost done with it but I already can’t wait for the next video. Thanks for the sick content 👍
@@maxplayscfb Dang just saw all those transfers you ended up passing on, some of them looked really good! Another example where the stats/abilities are more important than them being gems. Edit: Just saw you go back and add a few of them back 😅
What a late Christmas gift for us Max! A Vandy triple option team is near and dear to my heart so keep going! The moments is interesting, I experimented with it a bit and found I was just winning too many games relative to my level, defense just kept getting stops. And I did find a few bugs like the shell thing you mentioned, hot routes and some issues with timeouts. I love the whole season in a video format, keep it loose and fast so it doesn't take too much of your time. Thoroughly entertained, keep it going man! By the way Nate Johnson will absolutely deliver for you in this offense haha! And a tip recruit big physical WR's, they are better at blocking and that is a must. Agile lineman who can move are also helpful. Excited to see more!
Interesting, you’re the third person to mention physical WRs now!!! I’ll do my best! Also yeah I’m with you on the defensive simming of playing the moments. We may be a run heavy team but there is NO reason why we should be locking down SEC offenses as much as we are when simming !
One thing I’ve found: When scouting kickers and punters, the gems tend to have more room to grow and the regular/bust ones are already capped out when you get them
At WR, looks for Physical guys, or other archetypes with a min size of like 6’2, 195. You’ll be running a lot, and this give you great perimeter blocking outside. Makes a huge difference. And with your burner WR’s, move them to HB in the off season.
@ X Dig out of Flexbone Normal is probably the best passing play from Flexbone. If he’s got a LB on him, he’ll just burn him, and the WRs will get downfield to clear out. So effective.
This is awesome brother! I thoroughly enjoyed hearing your mindset behind each decision as you played through. Keep going bro 🫡 Loving the math-based, experiment content as well 🔥
Not all the way through the vid yet so maybe you discovered this but I find veer triple to be much easier to read than midline triple. You read the DE instead of the DT for the dive key, gives you an extra beat
You totally a work! A power back will most have better speed and trucking while a TE will have better blocking and catching. PBs can reach 90+ speed while a fast TE will cap around 85
Here I am wondering if you'll reference Koziol transferring out of Ball State in the Chronicles, and instead you bust it out here! Huge loss for that program
I'm big on scouting but I got plenty to spend being a big school just got a instant commit on a 5 star with a gem qb who is 6'5 200lbs 95 tp 87 sp 87 break sack but he probably get redshirted tbh my qbs are stacked
Merry christmas to you too!! Not at ALLLL done with them, just really wanted to play more often so I used this rebuild as an excuse to play some more football!
I don't believe transfers can be gems/busts, scouting just tells you the ratings. I try to use their previous school to sort of guess at what their dev trait might be.
That would be so interesting, plus what would his academic class be? Bump him back down to sophomore / junior? Or let him go up to “super duper senior?”
@ I’m not sure if it’s a well-known thing but it’s been in the game since launch, the speed rusher olbs, strong arm qbs, and slot receivers are all carried over from madden but they don’t exist in this game, the name will be there but the attributes in the player card screen will be blank
Brother I look forward to your videos every single day. Elevated my football knowledge a ton after I only got into football this year. Top tier content 🤝🏼🫡
This is such a great video! Another creator I love did a Flexbone dynasty with NIU and it was SO fun to watch. th-cam.com/play/PLgkwwbx6aU6PmR4cp7Bf_KLzutG2_xnet.html&si=Qx96S2Q56ZSirXZH

Yup they’ll never replace ball state, but glad people like them as a potential side project!!

Yeah I agree, looking back on it I think he was better than Jesus Curl who we eventually did settle with

I LOVE the flexbone. Running it means making some unusual recruiting and roster decisions but it's such a fun look to come out in.
Yup just one season in so far and it’s already SO different
Before you said something, I definitely thought that stowers looked like a qb out there, so it makes sense that he was a high school qb
Ahahaha dang I wish I could’ve said I saw it coming too but I did not
A 4 hr video from Max? Instant commit here. I love it
Heck yeah thanks for always watching banana man!

HERE WE GO!!! This is gonna be crazy 👏
Also just my two cents, I would go after the OL portion of your recruiting tree, get those run blocking boosts and then maybe go for RB boosts!
Dang I should’ve done this
One thing I’ve found:
When scouting kickers and punters, the gems tend to have more room to grow and the regular/bust ones are already capped out when you get them
Also in the transfer portal, nobody you scout will come up as gem or bust, but they could still end up being really good players with good dev traits
Ahhhh gotcha
Oh DANG IT DANG IT I thought they could, that’s good to know when we scout transfers
“That guy should not be allowed to griddy”😂😂
That Bama game was sick!!
4 hours?! Pumped to watch this at work tonight!
yup!!! glad you're excited, been holding onto this one for a few weeks, it was a BEASTTT to edit

And with your burner WR’s, move them to HB in the off season.
Glad I moved one burner WR to rb this offseason, but good call on physical WR! Maybe I will over-recruit TEs next year to put them at WR!
@ X Dig out of Flexbone Normal is probably the best passing play from Flexbone. If he’s got a LB on him, he’ll just burn him, and the WRs will get downfield to clear out. So effective.

Thank you! Will do!
Wow best Christmas gift I got
Can’t wait to binge this tomorrow
Merry Christmas!!! Thanks for the consistent support and comments!
Just started the video and liked it. 4 hours?!?!?! Lfg baby!!!! Merry Christmas buddy
Same to you! My Christmas gift to everyone is a 4 hour rebuild season + ball state offseason tmr !
@@maxplayscfb best gift I got this year haha
Power backs will be good as FB. You need to recruit guys like Udoh on Army.
Yeah good call
Not all the way through the vid yet so maybe you discovered this but I find veer triple to be much easier to read than midline triple. You read the DE instead of the DT for the dive key, gives you an extra beat
Ahhhhh gotcha, I also really like counter triple so far too
I love the long form video!
One tip is to not scout FBs and instead move power backs to FB!
Ahhhh gotcha - wonder if the TE to FB pipeline could also work outside of just Eli Stowers
You totally a work!
A power back will most have better speed and trucking while a TE will have better blocking and catching. PBs can reach 90+ speed while a fast TE will cap around 85
Ohhhh manny office made me laugh too hard 😂
I got a 88 fullback who led the league in touchdowns he started off as a powerback then switched him.
Looking like Johnny football back there at qb 😂
LMAO now we just gotta avoid the off field issues
your OC/DC have recruiting abilities that allow you to scout certain positions faster.
oh wow why didn't i know that
@@maxplayscfb Quite surprising given your background. Very confused in your recruiting strategy in week 0.
Happy Christmas Max
Hey merry christmas to you too!
Here I am wondering if you'll reference Koziol transferring out of Ball State in the Chronicles, and instead you bust it out here! Huge loss for that program
Yup, dude was severely underrated during the first couple years of the chronicles, I wish I leaned on him more
I’m also a Tennessee fan…. So depressing
Now this…. This is epic
Heck yeah
Great work 🤝
Thank you!!
I'm big on scouting but I got plenty to spend being a big school just got a instant commit on a 5 star with a gem qb who is 6'5 200lbs 95 tp 87 sp 87 break sack but he probably get redshirted tbh my qbs are stacked
Hope you had a great Christmas! And I hope you have a wonderful new year. Are you done with Ball State?
Merry christmas to you too!! Not at ALLLL done with them, just really wanted to play more often so I used this rebuild as an excuse to play some more football!
Yes!
I switched jeriamah smith after his freshman season from wr to rb for my buckeyes he was 99 overall his sophomore yr
Hollllyyy cow
Speed rusher OLBs are a glitched archetype. They won't progress. They need to be moved to DE (might be rough in a 3-4) or MLB
I don't believe transfers can be gems/busts, scouting just tells you the ratings. I try to use their previous school to sort of guess at what their dev trait might be.
I wonder if they will send out a patch that lets Pavia stay for another season
That would be so interesting, plus what would his academic class be? Bump him back down to sophomore / junior? Or let him go up to “super duper senior?”
@ lol, I think they’d just have to call him a 7th year senior which just sounds insane.
Semonza is going to be hurt 😅
Semonza has gotta have his full focus towards season 4, we got a CFP to make!
@maxplayscfb more option and cover 2 please 😆
Make sure you recruit a lot of rb and then change auto subs to like 95-100 stay fresh lol
Yup, I think we got like 4 or 5 in the first class
I think u said it before but who's your favorite cfb team irl?
The vols, I went to undergrad and grad school there!
4 hrs nice
Big one tonight
Did you give up on Ball State
Nope! Their offseason vid comes out tmr!!! They are still top priority
I don’t know if you know but speed rusher olbs don’t progress, if you look at their skills it’s blank
Woah woah woah is this a known thing????
@ I’m not sure if it’s a well-known thing but it’s been in the game since launch, the speed rusher olbs, strong arm qbs, and slot receivers are all carried over from madden but they don’t exist in this game, the name will be there but the attributes in the player card screen will be blank
Brother I look forward to your videos every single day.

Top tier content 🤝🏼🫡
Wow that is awesome to hear, I really appreciate it!!! I’ll do my best to keep grinding!
I know you like the realism. But I recommend turning off injuries for content like this. The game way over does it
Now is that for the super sim part?
If it’s 3rd and super long in your own end just punt it and hope for a super roll. I’ve done it before it saves the field positioning 🤷♂️
wowwww the third and forever punt that's bold dude
This is such a great video! Another creator I love did a Flexbone dynasty with NIU and it was SO fun to watch.
