So let me get this straight...Guy has a heart problem at QB, So to help him out they make him a WR? He has to run a hell of a lot more at WR then QB...Thanks coach for giving me a heart attack lmfao
They don’t make him WR, he makes that choice himself after getting cleared by doctors. Still stupid, but this dude got all of the high school stuff wrong
@@Bill4290 I was just going off what Ryan was saying and he says in the video THEY move him to WR. I wouldn't know the plot because i haven't bought an EA product in like almost 11 years. :)
If a coach knew that a player had a condition like that scene in high school and still allowed him to play, that coach would be fired and never allowed to coach again
I love how I can throw for 700 yards in the championship game and still lose the QB battle to someone who just recovered from a life threatening disease because EA is to lazy to implement the option to change positions properly.🙃
Digital Link Bk Gaming IKR. If I lose the QB battle, at least have the option for me to transfer to a different school instead of forcing me into the NFL draft if I chose not to change positions.
Also, he had a heart defect. If he got a transplant he could never play in college or the NFL again, especially because of what happened to Gaines Adams.
I would love ideas on this but these are some of my ideas: 1. You get recruited but the team you pick has recruited a top qb. The coach recommends switching positions or you could try fighting for the starting spot (you get the starting spot senior year but due to a lack of experience you may not get drafted high) 2. You get injured at qb and the team brings in a hot shot freshman forcing you to switch positions. 3. You start at running back or wide receiver and the qb gets injured. You have some experience so they decide to go with you. It also would have been cool to be able to be a gadget type player, similar to a Taysom Hill
It would be even better if you could CHOOSE your position on either sides of the ball, or both in high school like ncaa used to do. But nope as you said, they are lazy
Honestly, I just want superstar mode from Madden 08: - Picking your parents/DNA - IQ test - Combine - interviews - Movie roles/reading lines - hiring an agent - Going through the draft - Training Camp - Grading in every play/XP earned for in game boosts - Team Role that could make other players better on your team or opponents worse. Literally so much more than “Connected Franchise” 🙄
I also loved that the camera view was kind of from the players point of view almost....not first person but just behind you....felt really good playing as a DB and getting picks
it’s the fact that we had ALL of this in 2007 and 13 years later there are kids who think a game mode of: Pick team/position, play games, respond to texts is a GOOD career mode?!?!
"Choose Your Own Adventure" books from the 90s were more interactive that this. So, you're basically making decisions for results that remain the same? I don't get the point.
EagleZtoTheGrave because choose your own adventure books The people who made it want to have you have a opportunity to create your own storyline and have your own decisions that that would have effect with madden EA did not put enough time and effort into the storyline to make it interesting you still would’ve lost or one and it will be the same and the main problem I have a Ea is why would you put the yard in a broken game and second question EA why would you make a storyline about a person playing high school if they’re winning or losing it’s going to be the same storyline
@@jwizzy412 I agree and madden has become even more cheese than ever with the x factors and the crazy jukes and every other run is a friggin fumble realistic my ass lol
@Wired for Understanding For real tho its insane how a billion dollar company only has like 3 team MUT team Superstar KO and The Yard and Franchise mode and Face of the Franchise like cant you get more teams to work on your game you are not the laughingstock of the fall and winter. like come on EA.
@Wired for Understanding I bet you that the only reason EA has good throwback (I guess I will call them) games are better then the games today is because EA Sports had another company making games was 2k Sports. And once 2k loss and EA won then EA Sports started making money only games essentially.
In many cases though, with 2k, they essentially have something new when it comes to basketball ro highlight a certain idea. 18 they highlighted Asia ball, this year it was more so college ball with picking your school. They highlight a section of thr game to bring it more awareness and build the brand outside just the NBA league itself. With madden, it has no real purpose. Its just there then everyone gets drafted to the bears like its thr 2020 season. 🤣🤣

I don’t think the writers understand college football at all.... they also never heard of the transfer portal apparently. Also, teams usually force players to retire after you’ve been diagnosed with underline heart conditions... makes no fucking sense. It happened a few years ago with this one talented receiver for the hurricanes, his name escapes me, but they found something wrong with the heart and they forced him to retire from football while on the hurricanes team.

Thought of this story line literally in 10 seconds. You start off as kids become rivals in pop warner at QB or whatever and the kid taunts you after his team crushes you. They beat you in HS too and then he vows to go to your college rival and whoop that ass some more. Then you battle it out all 4 years of college for championships and end up in the league. There he starts a dynasty and you do the same and its just plain old football. No death just the simple case of a guy being better than you and you fighting your ass off to be better than him and practicing and etc. Have the games in HS and college on all madden to make it seem like the other team is crazy talented and you just go at it. Their stories dont have to be so deep
Lmao literally or just let us pick our position and draft pick like cfb 25 but pro obviously then we do combine meet our rival from high school and college (same guy) he goes to your rival nfl team ravens Steelers 49ers cowboys etc you can turn off story mode to and just play regular career mode
Physicals don't always catch heart problems....but the fact they keep playing hin after it's discovered is STUPID AS PISS. Irl, he would be made to quit football....

Passing a high school physical with you heart hanging on by a string is great science fiction. Madden is just trying to expand. I think next year the story should follow a QB who lost both hands in a freak car accident as he was on his way to visit his dying parents in a hospice, and he promised his mom who is a huge Packers fan that he would play wide receiver or running back in the NFL. Maybe even add an alien abduction scene where he gets x factor hands implanted. I don't know, just spit balling here.
The players family is abducted by aliens and the only way to save them is by winning the Super Bowl with 400+ yards and no sacks against clones of JJ Watt and Aaron Donald with either the Seahawks or Colts O-line.
Besus Bro I cant wait for the QuickTime event where your player decides to go to Subway and you gotta slide your credit card at the register, which charges you $35 in real life.
So I’ve watched about 3-4 you tubers play Rise to Fame The main problem with EA is that they give you two options and regardless of choices or play on the field the story is the same. Let it focus on the actual player (user) this entire story is about Tommy think about it. He’s the starter, he has a health issue, he follows you to college to win his position back. He’s in the hospital, he begs you to come back for another year. Simple fix EA Have 3 choices at the beginning of the story mode QB RB WR Have at least 3 different story lines with each, Example QB -family tradition, bench warmer, instant star Have the play on the field actually dictate and change drafting scenarios. If you go un-drafted have a scenario where you work hard in the off season and get called to a workout to show up for bad teams. Simple fixes seem to be too hard for EA I came up with this comment in 5 minutes.
I said the same exact thing or have a option to play defense in high school hell let us play any position imagine him being the quarter back and you being a corner back or a linebacker or something like that
A better story would have been where this heart condition kept him from playing after he was sent to the hospital. You, as his friend, could then honor him by living with him and building your own career. The career that he could never have. Your friend could even have certain goals rise up as a way for your bond to grow or shatter, while also building the player you are making while in high school, college and even the NFL. This could also increase your ability to grow to being a superstar with the more goals you reach. This idea was just one I thought of at this moment. It is not hard to do something like this. Seriously EA.
bro this storyline kills me, because my football playing "career" was almost sidelined when I was 12 over a benign heart murmur. no one is playing football after multiple open heart surgeries lmfao
Longshot was the best version of all these so far...The Face of the Franchise is poorly written and Super Cringe, the Sick Girl last year and now your Teammate has a Heart Problem but somehow team Doctors never knew this man had a problem. Plus no matter how well you play the guy still gets the starting job lmaoo It's like they're trying to make us feel a connection to these characters....STOP IT, it's a Sports Game not an RPG like Last Of Us. They also try an force you to play another year of College even if you put up ridiculous stats because you'll be a late pick no matter what.
People who play "Career Modes" on other games like MLB, NHL on even NBA & FIFA do a better job just making things up based on how they play & what happens. People make up better story lines when doing Franchises on older games, Coach Dawkins or Uncle Sam's Reject, Mr Hurricane, & others do great stories for characters on their team/s !!!
Also the 40yd dash in here is manipulated to be the exact same time every single time, depending on what position you play. If you press the buttons as fast or as slow as you can. You would still get the same time.
Thank you bro you just saved me 60$ I was going to buy madden tomorrow just to play face of the franchise but after watching your video you saved me $60+ and a trip to gamestop.
If I made a story mode the players would stay going missing, then it's revealed that they're being kidnapped by terrorists, then (big reveal) the terrorists are actually... ALIENS?

Buy Madden every year but you are 100% right. Storyline as far as a "feel" good story is fine but overall it's a joke. Back and forth between not being able to stand Tommy and then remembering he's your best friend? After the apartment scene fight/ argument the story gets old and then throw in the fact that if you let fate decide where you go in the NFL you automatically get drafted by the Chicago Bears because of a glitch in the game so you have to pick your favorite team just not to go there is just stupid unless you're a fan of the Bears. Love Madden but by far the worst game of the franchise to date. Just throwing it out there MLB THE SHOW has also sucked in my opinion for the last 3 years.
NBA 2K20 MyCareer?IDK. WWE 2K20 MyCareer?Suck. NHL 20 Be A Pro?IDK. FIFA 20 Career Mode?Suck. I don't play those modern games because I have less money and have no consoles. I watch YT videos about every single sports games. From the Philippines.
I don't mind if the story Is sad but it have to make sense. Maybe you and the QB are already best friends, he get sick and can't play so you step In, if you play well one of the big school get you and not a FCS school get you. So now it college, you pick your school, the doctor say the okay to your friend that he can play, so he took a walk on spot to be the 3rd QB on the team. So now you have some off field choices, like hanging out with your girlfriend and so on. The choices you make can make you play or get Suspended, if he get suspended, your friend step and play really well, now more choices happened. Like maybe he end up winning NC or you end up winning NC. then come draft time more choices come up. That way it get the player to play the game mean something and his choices. That what I want in face of the Franchise.
Love the videos could you make one talking about how ea said linemen in madden 21 would have different progression trees but they still have the same 3 for tackles guards and centers thanks keep up the good work man.
Also why did they make the homecoming game the first game and at night? Homecoming is late in the season and the dance is at the night. Damn, EA can’t even get high school right
I had a friend that stayed living with her husband as they went through a contested divorce for a year and that shared housing wouldn't be as awkward as the backup and starting QBs living together.
Not to mention if you "let fate decide" who drafts you, you go to Chicago every time. I left after the junior season, did the combine and just tried to imagine which teams might want to take a QB and picked the Saints, because at least that made sense.
I have alot to say about my experience with this mode if you guys wanna read through my quick review of my experience with it.There is good and bad. First off, i absolutely agree with ryan for the HS/College portion of this mode. I had time to play through it twice on the trial. Story is a forced mess, its not fun and i tried to force different choices for different outcomes and alot of the results were exactly the same, so whats the point in giving us a choice. Secondly, i was a pocket passer the first time through and ended up with a qb drafted in the 4th rd with 75 speed acl agi. Second time i did everything i could to be a mobile qb all mobile qb dialogue answers and when drafted ended up with a 65 spd. It seems like nothing you do in this portion of the mode matters. On to the good. Once drafted by my favorite team the raiders i had to fight through scenarios to become the starter after doing really well i started to have more sway and was presented with choices along the way of who my mentor was(darren waller) who we traded for to build a dream team which ended up being (john ross, and allen Robinson) they become x-factors when they get traded to your team. I found these choices, scenarios and the effects of them to be surprisingly entertaining and cool. Its by no means perfect, but once i got to the pros the mode became increasingly more fun and actually playable. If they work on this mode with alot more scenarios and choices i think it has potential. The problem is the first part hs college is a disaster and choices dont matter enough. If i was you guys i would give it a shot and see what you think. That being said it still does not offer enough depth and realism as far as consequences were presented with as a result of our choices. There should also be a wider range of choice instead of just two options for every question your asked. Also would of loved to go through this story as a safety and not a qb/hb/ wr. If they develope a better story or multiple stories and have your choices matter more and make more real world sense this mode could be something in the future. Right now it falls short of what i would call a fun repeatable experience.
Thanks for summarizing the story because I couldn’t finish it thanks to a glitch where it wouldn’t let me finish a game that I couldn’t sim through. I then quit the game and came back to play it again but had to play the game over again.
No team in the country at ANY LEVEL would let someone with a heart defect play on their team. Not a chance in hell. That's an absolute recipe for disaster and a possible lawsuit.
I did the math, so in franchises a 90 speed QB ran a 4.48, a 86 speed QB ran a 4.56.. if you run a 4.46 in madden face of the franchise.. why do you get only 86 speed?
Not to mention the difficulty is set to rookie and can't be changed so you are winning each game by 50, throwing for 7-8 tds, and end up getting benched like three times during the course of your entire career.
"I dont want to say imagination because there was not alot used with this story"....aaaaahahahhahaa you are my best friend. Hope to buy you a beer one day bro! Keep fighting the good fight and I'll keep ignoring EA sports products until they care about putting out a quality product!
them always having a player or side character being sick is so fucking weird. last year it was a kid with cancer and your receivers brother died from cancer too if, i remember correctly. Now a high school kid with a heart condition lmao give me a break
The embarrassing thing is this game mode is still my favorite part of the game due to the storylines that come up when you get to the NFL. I really miss the Maddens from the mid to late 2000’s.
Have a heart defect? Lets move you to WR so you can run MORE.
Decent High-school WR? Let’s have you start at QB for a Division I school.
IN A FULL CONTACT SPORT!! EA played the entire community
And full contact!
Lol right
Steven Russell Wells college coach in ea: since the guy who got a heart defect came back I’ll put them to staring quarterback
So let me get this straight...Guy has a heart problem at QB, So to help him out they make him a WR? He has to run a hell of a lot more at WR then QB...Thanks coach for giving me a heart attack lmfao
Bro the creative aea at Madden they are brainless the proof is in the pudding

"Born with a heart defect."
Has EA not heard of physicals in high school or medical histories?
Not to mention the scar on his chest in the locker room
Robert Hughes I mean u can have surgery the whole point is to make your heart fine lol
Noah is First yeah I know I had heart surgery when I was 11. Im saying he wouldn’t be able to hide it from anybody in the locker room
If a coach knew that a player had a condition like that scene in high school and still allowed him to play, that coach would be fired and never allowed to coach again
Lol right
I love how I can throw for 700 yards in the championship game and still lose the QB battle to someone who just recovered from a life threatening disease because EA is to lazy to implement the option to change positions properly.🙃

Digital Link Bk Gaming IKR. If I lose the QB battle, at least have the option for me to transfer to a different school instead of forcing me into the NFL draft if I chose not to change positions.
Also, he had a heart defect. If he got a transplant he could never play in college or the NFL again, especially because of what happened to Gaines Adams.
I would love ideas on this but these are some of my ideas: 1. You get recruited but the team you pick has recruited a top qb. The coach recommends switching positions or you could try fighting for the starting spot (you get the starting spot senior year but due to a lack of experience you may not get drafted high) 2. You get injured at qb and the team brings in a hot shot freshman forcing you to switch positions. 3. You start at running back or wide receiver and the qb gets injured. You have some experience so they decide to go with you. It also would have been cool to be able to be a gadget type player, similar to a Taysom Hill
It would be even better if you could CHOOSE your position on either sides of the ball, or both in high school like ncaa used to do. But nope as you said, they are lazy
Honestly, I just want superstar mode from Madden 08:
- Picking your parents/DNA
- IQ test
- Combine
- interviews
- Movie roles/reading lines
- hiring an agent
- Going through the draft
- Training Camp
- Grading in every play/XP earned for in game boosts
- Team Role that could make other players better on your team or opponents worse.
Literally so much more than “Connected Franchise” 🙄
yeah you could also play ANY position even kicker/punter or offensive line if you wanted to
I also loved that the camera view was kind of from the players point of view almost....not first person but just behind you....felt really good playing as a DB and getting picks

wait lol..... he's questioning the starter for not having heart but he himself hasn't had the heart to play since Pop Warner. Who wrote this? The dudes from game of thrones 😆
Something positive I see...
Edit: Nevermind Madden Franchise is still garbage
The reason why it's garbage is because it hasn't been touched for at least 3 years.
This story is so incredibly confusing and god awfully written
Not to mention the acting is terrible and Tommy's face scan looks like shit.
Never stop making these
Look at Zion man always getting here early to comment

Anyone see RBT’s experiment where there’s literally no difference between winning and losing?
Wanna see what happens if you lose all the time do you still get drafted
Yeah, but the cutscenes and story are the same.
I didnt...i going to check now though
My local Gamestop (West Hollywood, CA) said that they only got 5 total pre-orders this year for madden 21.
Good. I hope they have terrible sales.
osurocks 24 I hope that you meant EA has bad sales, not that Gamestop
because why go out when u can download it at the crib most people have no intention of trading it in until the new one comes out so its a waste of time to go to gamestop
Passing a high school physical with you heart hanging on by a string is great science fiction. Madden is just trying to expand. I think next year the story should follow a QB who lost both hands in a freak car accident as he was on his way to visit his dying parents in a hospice, and he promised his mom who is a huge Packers fan that he would play wide receiver or running back in the NFL. Maybe even add an alien abduction scene where he gets x factor hands implanted. I don't know, just spit balling here.
The players family is abducted by aliens and the only way to save them is by winning the Super Bowl with 400+ yards and no sacks against clones of JJ Watt and Aaron Donald with either the Seahawks or Colts O-line.
@@ChadHellgado Oh hell yeah!!! Get EA on the phone.
Besus Bro I cant wait for the QuickTime event where your player decides to go to Subway and you gotta slide your credit card at the register, which charges you $35 in real life.

So I’ve watched about 3-4 you tubers play Rise to Fame
The main problem with EA is that they give you two options and regardless of choices or play on the field the story is the same.
Let it focus on the actual player (user) this entire story is about Tommy think about it.
He’s the starter, he has a health issue, he follows you to college to win his position back.
He’s in the hospital, he begs you to come back for another year.
Simple fix EA
Have 3 choices at the beginning of the story mode
QB RB WR
Have at least 3 different story lines with each,
Example QB -family tradition, bench warmer, instant star
Have the play on the field actually dictate and change drafting scenarios.
If you go un-drafted have a scenario where you work hard in the off season and get called to a workout to show up for bad teams.
Simple fixes seem to be too hard for EA I came up with this comment in 5 minutes.
You’re officially hired. Pls implement this in the next update buddy 😉
I said the same exact thing or have a option to play defense in high school hell let us play any position imagine him being the quarter back and you being a corner back or a linebacker or something like that
Never Stop Making These, Ryan. One of best honest Madden TH-camrs.
Facts tho
My QB in highschool just recently passed away due to a heart condition he was born with.
I’m sorry man
A better story would have been where this heart condition kept him from playing after he was sent to the hospital. You, as his friend, could then honor him by living with him and building your own career. The career that he could never have. Your friend could even have certain goals rise up as a way for your bond to grow or shatter, while also building the player you are making while in high school, college and even the NFL. This could also increase your ability to grow to being a superstar with the more goals you reach.
This idea was just one I thought of at this moment. It is not hard to do something like this. Seriously EA.
U should've been the only writer on this story that actually makes sense.
That actually made sense
bro this storyline kills me, because my football playing "career" was almost sidelined when I was 12 over a benign heart murmur. no one is playing football after multiple open heart surgeries lmfao
Especially at wide receiver where you run as fast as possible to get open on your route
@@christophersalinas2722 That's not how you play WR.
@@benvinew6465 yeah I figured this out a few months ago
Played it to the “end” that made me retire at 29 years old when I finally made it to a 99 overall QB ... worst story ever
Smh wow that's ridiculous
So it turned you into Andrew Luck... lol
Mister Mann yea 8 years in the league with 4 super bowl wins and it retires you and puts you in HOF
@@ahailofgunfire ufc does the same shit
All this effort could've gone into FIXING FRANCHISE MODE.
It would be nice if mine even worked. Smdh mine crashes after 1st game.
Eric Joy 🤯
That's EA for you
Its a joke. All I wanna do is see this storyline but I can't play it all all. Nobody been able to help at all.
Try unistall nd do it again
Longshot was the best version of all these so far...The Face of the Franchise is poorly written and Super Cringe, the Sick Girl last year and now your Teammate has a Heart Problem but somehow team Doctors never knew this man had a problem. Plus no matter how well you play the guy still gets the starting job lmaoo
It's like they're trying to make us feel a connection to these characters....STOP IT, it's a Sports Game not an RPG like Last Of Us. They also try an force you to play another year of College even if you put up ridiculous stats because you'll be a late pick no matter what.
Long shit was ass
People who play "Career Modes" on other games like MLB, NHL on even NBA & FIFA do a better job just making things up based on how they play & what happens. People make up better story lines when doing Franchises on older games, Coach Dawkins or Uncle Sam's Reject, Mr Hurricane, & others do great stories for characters on their team/s !!!
Exactly
Or Ben Vinew...
That kid must have linked bloodlines to the Mannings, John Elway, Tom Brady, and Joe Montana.
Shoutout to Ryan for calling Madden and EA out on the bs
Again...Proud Subscriber here 🙌🏾😎
Also the 40yd dash in here is manipulated to be the exact same time every single time, depending on what position you play. If you press the buttons as fast or as slow as you can. You would still get the same time.
I straight up hit the wrong button and still got 4.46
That's tuff
nobody:
madden: stop racism (censors and cancel players for kneeling)
When did that happen?
@@MrOliver250 literally every year since 2014, so a very long time
Who cares it isn’t gonna do S h I t
I really can't wait for angry Joe to rip this game. The writing in fotf is sooo trashy.
Man it's really awesome to watch Ryan's channel blow up like this. Been watching for a year now probably
Lol I been waiting on u brother 😂😂😂
Cracked me up over and over, good job
PES: máster League and career mode
EA: put a story mode on everysingle game.. (a lazy and bored story mode)
PES is so so good man
3:38 "Some colleges have a QB rotation rule where you just get benched halfway through a game" LMFAOOOOO
Here before the “here before the never stop making these comments”
Thank you bro you just saved me 60$ I was going to buy madden tomorrow just to play face of the franchise but after watching your video you saved me $60+ and a trip to gamestop.
Anyone else notice “Chris Benoit” on the Patreon list at the end 👀
If I made a story mode the players would stay going missing, then it's revealed that they're being kidnapped by terrorists, then (big reveal) the terrorists are actually... ALIENS?
Story makes 0 sense what so ever. Of course EA would put a kid who's got a heart issue in the game so you feel bad.
Great video....you are a very large thorn in EA's side!!!!good for you
The 40 yd dash is a quick time event. Now that's a gotdamn shame
bro i saw that and was like they didnt even put in the old 40 yard dash for the older games,
It's a joke...the NFL gave the license to the wrong company
Yes, I was very surprised and disappointed when I got the quick time event. No effort at all EA!!
Question btw. How do u do the old 40? I’ve never been able to figure it out
@@colinoesterle3517 on madden 08. U have to spam 'X' on playstation or on OG XBOX you spam 'A' to build up ur power to get a good 40 time. Like when u create ur guy and u do his attributes. U can set his speed however you want. I made a WR and I made his speed 97. And he ran a 4.2
Really love this video. It is like a comedy skit... How horrendously bad the plot you describe plays out. Thanks for making this.
I graduated from Sex High School lmao
😂😆🤣 I LOVE THESE!!! Keep on keeping on.
I thought you were being serious in the title lol
Tedy Bruschi had a hole in his heart NFL legend
I honestly believe this dude plays Madden all day everyday 😂😂
he dosent
You are honestly posting this on every video when I've proven you wrong.
But hey....whatever works.
@@RyanMoody21 when ever i put the laughing emoji that means I'm just kidding ((😂)) im i silly type of dude how. For all i know you may not even play the game your videos could be stuff followers or anybody may have sent you it is all in the spirit if silliness
Buy Madden every year but you are 100% right. Storyline as far as a "feel" good story is fine but overall it's a joke. Back and forth between not being able to stand Tommy and then remembering he's your best friend? After the apartment scene fight/ argument the story gets old and then throw in the fact that if you let fate decide where you go in the NFL you automatically get drafted by the Chicago Bears because of a glitch in the game so you have to pick your favorite team just not to go there is just stupid unless you're a fan of the Bears. Love Madden but by far the worst game of the franchise to date.
Just throwing it out there MLB THE SHOW has also sucked in my opinion for the last 3 years.
NBA 2K20 MyCareer?IDK.
WWE 2K20 MyCareer?Suck.
NHL 20 Be A Pro?IDK.
FIFA 20 Career Mode?Suck.
I don't play those modern games because I have less money and have no consoles. I watch YT videos about every single sports games.
From the Philippines.
I felt the exact same way great review
"Face of the franchise is incredible" more like incredibly pathetic
I don't mind if the story Is sad but it have to make sense. Maybe you and the QB are already best friends, he get sick and can't play so you step In, if you play well one of the big school get you and not a FCS school get you. So now it college, you pick your school, the doctor say the okay to your friend that he can play, so he took a walk on spot to be the 3rd QB on the team. So now you have some off field choices, like hanging out with your girlfriend and so on. The choices you make can make you play or get Suspended, if he get suspended, your friend step and play really well, now more choices happened. Like maybe he end up winning NC or you end up winning NC. then come draft time more choices come up. That way it get the player to play the game mean something and his choices. That what I want in face of the Franchise.
Is this a fake video?????
nope
Love the videos could you make one talking about how ea said linemen in madden 21 would have different progression trees but they still have the same 3 for tackles guards and centers thanks keep up the good work man.
I’m not a fan of face of franchise
I don't think anyone is
This sounds like a lifetime movie written by a group of people who have never watched a game of football before
I burst out laughing as Ryan described how ridiculous this story is.
FUNNY AS HELL!!
In college it renamed my guy to “College Player” and changed my number. And it wouldn’t let me change it back… wtf EA, wtf
Exactly same thing happened to me then when I get to the NFL they don't even have the right college I went to correct the game is buns
I read your title and immediately knew you were being sarcastic 😂🤣😂☺️
Love ur vids bro never stop these vids
Thank you for putting yourself through this so I didn’t have to
Damn. Was hoping this would be the year to jump back in on Madden after 4yrs but NOPE. Back to 2K it is then.
Appreciate THE TRUTH Bro. #NFLdropEA
Also why did they make the homecoming game the first game and at night? Homecoming is late in the season and the dance is at the night. Damn, EA can’t even get high school right
I've seen well over 150 videos and the intro NEVER GETS OLD bounce too it like its my first hearing it Everytime
I had a friend that stayed living with her husband as they went through a contested divorce for a year and that shared housing wouldn't be as awkward as the backup and starting QBs living together.
In Madden 22, you get a stealth mission in which you infiltrate the other teams practice facility and steal their playbook for the Patriots.
It’s a good day when Ryan posts a new video
Not to mention if you "let fate decide" who drafts you, you go to Chicago every time.
I left after the junior season, did the combine and just tried to imagine which teams might want to take a QB and picked the Saints, because at least that made sense.
All of these were my exact thoughts lol. I was like fuck this kid I’m not throwing you shit
I have alot to say about my experience with this mode if you guys wanna read through my quick review of my experience with it.There is good and bad. First off, i absolutely agree with ryan for the HS/College portion of this mode. I had time to play through it twice on the trial. Story is a forced mess, its not fun and i tried to force different choices for different outcomes and alot of the results were exactly the same, so whats the point in giving us a choice. Secondly, i was a pocket passer the first time through and ended up with a qb drafted in the 4th rd with 75 speed acl agi. Second time i did everything i could to be a mobile qb all mobile qb dialogue answers and when drafted ended up with a 65 spd. It seems like nothing you do in this portion of the mode matters. On to the good. Once drafted by my favorite team the raiders i had to fight through scenarios to become the starter after doing really well i started to have more sway and was presented with choices along the way of who my mentor was(darren waller) who we traded for to build a dream team which ended up being (john ross, and allen Robinson) they become x-factors when they get traded to your team. I found these choices, scenarios and the effects of them to be surprisingly entertaining and cool. Its by no means perfect, but once i got to the pros the mode became increasingly more fun and actually playable. If they work on this mode with alot more scenarios and choices i think it has potential. The problem is the first part hs college is a disaster and choices dont matter enough. If i was you guys i would give it a shot and see what you think. That being said it still does not offer enough depth and realism as far as consequences were presented with as a result of our choices. There should also be a wider range of choice instead of just two options for every question your asked. Also would of loved to go through this story as a safety and not a qb/hb/ wr. If they develope a better story or multiple stories and have your choices matter more and make more real world sense this mode could be something in the future. Right now it falls short of what i would call a fun repeatable experience.
Thanks for summarizing the story because I couldn’t finish it thanks to a glitch where it wouldn’t let me finish a game that I couldn’t sim through. I then quit the game and came back to play it again but had to play the game over again.
No team in the country at ANY LEVEL would let someone with a heart defect play on their team. Not a chance in hell. That's an absolute recipe for disaster and a possible lawsuit.
I wasn’t sure if you were gonna cover this since so many others had done so, but you’re the people’s champ for a reason!
From the makers who gave you "madden 19 Longshot: dead beat dad" and "Madden 20 Face of the Franchise: For the Kids"
I did the math, so in franchises a 90 speed QB ran a 4.48, a 86 speed QB ran a 4.56.. if you run a 4.46 in madden face of the franchise.. why do you get only 86 speed?
Not to mention the difficulty is set to rookie and can't be changed so you are winning each game by 50, throwing for 7-8 tds, and end up getting benched like three times during the course of your entire career.
"I dont want to say imagination because there was not alot used with this story"....aaaaahahahhahaa you are my best friend. Hope to buy you a beer one day bro! Keep fighting the good fight and I'll keep ignoring EA sports products until they care about putting out a quality product!
Also, when you win in the yard it plays the superstar Ko voiceline. It says “you just got your first win in superstar Ko.”
them always having a player or side character being sick is so fucking weird. last year it was a kid with cancer and your receivers brother died from cancer too if, i remember correctly. Now a high school kid with a heart condition lmao give me a break
The used that whole story try and get 'The Heartbreak Kids' gimmick over........EA must have hired WWE creative on this!
If B Fresh didn't exist this would be the worst story in the history of sports games
Clicked on the video , laughed my ass off, subscribed 😂
The embarrassing thing is this game mode is still my favorite part of the game due to the storylines that come up when you get to the NFL. I really miss the Maddens from the mid to late 2000’s.
