18:35 didn't even notice myself really until you brought it up but obviously doesn't matter at all to any of us. Content is top tier and EXTREMELY consistent for "a weekend hobby" 😅
Your new playbook works. Your attention to turnovers (both sides) works. You improved tremendously as a player over the last ten games. These are enjoyable to watch. You are a good commentator. Good job all around.
Great game! 2-0 in bowls! LFG! Btw, did you know during Early National Signing Day, your committed recruits' dev. trait is available under the scouting tab for each player. Could be cool to have that dev. trait reveal! Love the videos man!
DANG i shouldve looked!!!! i already did the offseason and really didnt investigate dev traits. that may need to be a hidden deep dive video during this regular season!!
Hey Max, with your improvement game to game based on your team after off season. When you are up by 3 scores in the 4th it really helps build strong depth by subbing in your back ups!
4:21 holy acceleration, Batman! 13:05 in those scenarios, personally, I try to audible to a pass play and just dart it at the uncovered guy ASAP. Usually a nice free first down, assuming they don't adjust on defense. 😁 21:11 hope you played some lottery numbers after that prediction lol 25:40 gosh-dang, how many stars was this dude in recruiting?! 28:00 picture perfect right there, that was gorgeous. 37:06 LOL that was fun!
I can't believe how fast that App State qb is, would be awesome to have a qb that fast on your team in the future. The read options would be insane. This was a great game, awesome to see the improvement over the course of this season. Can't wait to meet the new stars of next season as we say goodbye to Magwood and Kelly.
IKR that scramble by him at the end of the half was UNREAL. Also if you want a quick look at who is returning for next year, i filmed a hidden deep dive video here: th-cam.com/video/utidONgC7lo/w-d-xo.html
thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words!! IMO the only way for more people to find this is to keep posting consistently, so ill do my best to keep that up!!
Idk if you did position changes yet but if not I usually take one of my lower but faster wrs and move them to tight end for passing plays. Gets nice match ups against lbs and they usually get really good catching abilities.
so a few people have mentioned that but i didnt do it this year mainly because i have a pair of four star tight ends that are entering their sophomore year. one is gonna redshirt and return as a RS Soph next year, and the other is already starting as a true sophomore this year! close to 80 overall!!
Great jersey!!! Great game, really excited for next season Edit: maybe you can show us Kelly and Koziol and Magwood's career stats? Would love to see them
i didnt do a career view but i did put together a quick end of season deep dive for these guys. i made a hidden video linked here: th-cam.com/video/utidONgC7lo/w-d-xo.html
honestly that's exactly how i felt in real life when i did this too, this was a total blast. really couldnt be possible without the consistent viewers like yourself!!!!
One thing I do while scrambling outside is if a receiver is around the area I’m running to I’ll use playmaker so they turn towards the corner and block them
coach progression is set to the default (normal is the name i think), since i made this wayyyy back on day 1 of release. however if i could go back, id prob do slowest / slower since i feel like im pretty advanced of a coach after only 2 years. feels a bit too quick
A lot less turnovers the last few games. The D stepped up too. Losing a bunch of big players but we'll see what happens in recruiting, but I expect some of last year's class and this year's freshman will get more starts. I don't know how many Jr's and Sophs were making contributions this year, but it didn't seem like more than 2 or 3. Next year we get to see 'your' guys.
yup, i did a hidden deep dive on the end of year stats / returning players here: th-cam.com/video/utidONgC7lo/w-d-xo.html My biggest takeaway was that we have a LOT of young contributors on defense that will be returning. that should be HUGE!
@maxplayscfb How dare you! That's an awesome vid. Put it up for all now that this has been released! The HB thing: update your RBs fo sub out more and Davis will 1) be more fresh when he's in and 2) get your other guy more touches. You should be able to sub out by position. Losing 4 of 6 top receivers is tough. The offense will be very different, but the D? Mostly all coming back! Good to see. With the new playbook I felt you had less turnovers and put the ball where you wanted. If you can cut the TOs by 10 (those 10 ints more than 2nd to last place) you'd end up 3rd in TO difference. That's gotta be a couple more wins, right? EA is gonna EA though so you might not get that lucky. Oh! Do you pick your schedule or do you just let the computer set it for you? The data on whether you win or lose for visits means you might want cupcakes early to get those easy 'win' boosts, but a tougher schedule might get you ranked / better bowls. And if you beat a power 5 team AND it's a visit... I did see a lot of Syracuse, Pitt, and Big 10 teams eyeing your recruits this year due to location. If you play one of those teams have a recruit visit, and win, do you think that will affect the other team's chances with the recruitment?
Can’t lie the jersey reveal was dope!
heck yeah glad people liked it !!
The consistency is crazy
Yup I finally got ahead on edits so we should have plenty of ball state over the next week
18:35 didn't even notice myself really until you brought it up but obviously doesn't matter at all to any of us. Content is top tier and EXTREMELY consistent for "a weekend hobby" 😅
ahahaha thank you!!! yeah i spend too much time filming things so im probably over-aware of things like that

Hey Max, with your improvement game to game based on your team after off season. When you are up by 3 scores in the 4th it really helps build strong depth by subbing in your back ups!
oh wow i had no idea, ill be quicker to mass sub my team going forward!
Good stuff congrats on turning the season around
thank you and thanks for watching!!
The ball state jersey is so fire haha
What a poetic end for the Kelly/Magwood era
thanks! and yeah, what a blast these first two years have been
4:21 holy acceleration, Batman!
13:05 in those scenarios, personally, I try to audible to a pass play and just dart it at the uncovered guy ASAP. Usually a nice free first down, assuming they don't adjust on defense. 😁
21:11 hope you played some lottery numbers after that prediction lol
25:40 gosh-dang, how many stars was this dude in recruiting?!
28:00 picture perfect right there, that was gorgeous.
37:06 LOL that was fun!
solid takes all around -- as far as at 25:40, gardner was a true freshman my first year, so he's a real person. no idea how good he was out of HS!
update: he was a 2 star!
@@maxplayscfb Well dang! Someone done goofed on that rating!
I can't believe how fast that App State qb is, would be awesome to have a qb that fast on your team in the future. The read options would be insane.

@ honestly it’s just for the speed. A lot of te are 75-85 speed but I feel ya
Perfect cherry on top with the jersey!

Awesome finish! I bought CAL shirt for my online dynasty.
heck yeah, that's the way to do it!!
Great jersey!!! Great game, really excited for next season
Edit: maybe you can show us Kelly and Koziol and Magwood's career stats? Would love to see them
i didnt do a career view but i did put together a quick end of season deep dive for these guys. i made a hidden video linked here: th-cam.com/video/utidONgC7lo/w-d-xo.html
Yes!
Hell yeah! Jersey is so funny
Man you should’ve seen the smile on my face when you came back with the jersey on 😂
honestly that's exactly how i felt in real life when i did this too, this was a total blast. really couldnt be possible without the consistent viewers like yourself!!!!
end of an era for the home team. Magwood to Kelly forever
heck yeah -- will forever be my fav cfb 25 duo no matter what
The ball state jersey is nice too
One thing I do while scrambling outside is if a receiver is around the area I’m running to I’ll use playmaker so they turn towards the corner and block them
Dang good call
Hey Max. Question about your settings. Is your Coach Progression slider set to “Slowest”? Welcome your thoughts on the different options.
coach progression is set to the default (normal is the name i think), since i made this wayyyy back on day 1 of release. however if i could go back, id prob do slowest / slower since i feel like im pretty advanced of a coach after only 2 years. feels a bit too quick
38:00
Actual jumpscare realizing that your current roster still has real players on it
counting the seconds.....
Let’s go!!!!
A lot less turnovers the last few games. The D stepped up too. Losing a bunch of big players but we'll see what happens in recruiting, but I expect some of last year's class and this year's freshman will get more starts.

Hindsight is 20/20... I am not had me rolling 🤣
LMAO I wear glasses for a reason
The way the team is going ball state could be looking at the playoffs or a high end bowl game
College Football Playoff 2026 is the goal in year 3! lets do it!
The off-season! This team will have to forge a new identity on offense without Kelly and Magwood, scary and exciting.
yup, hoping all the returning talent on defense can buy us some time while Semonza, Davis and the new offense figures out their identity
Does anybody know if coordinators that you hire have any impact on anything besides coach prestige?
good question -- anyone know? i know NOTHING about coordinators
