i love your attention to detail when it comes to your franchises. it’s really the little things like seeing that the panthers were the blues during the preseason and even wit rookie’s gear, numbers, faces etc the realism is on point!! you’re killing it man
CB, 1) I wanted to let you know that I enjoy watching your slow-sim games in Madden. I'm unsure if I've mentioned that lately, so it's always a good idea to give the content creator a little pat on the back. Atta Boy! One reason I enjoy them is your tendency (perhaps compulsion) to explain your reasoning behind your decisions. 2) For Madden 24, you created a wonderful video attempting to ascertain the kinds and quantity of upgrades one can expect for the various player upgrade archetypes at each position. I still have that video ear-marked on my "watch later" list so I can easily pull it up at any time. Do you intend to make a similar video for Madden 25? 3) A week or two ago, you asked if you should continue your NCAA NIU Dynasty or simply go to the bread and butter of Madden. The drop off in views of the NIU Dynasty was certainly precipitous, but I think your colleagues (MrHurricane, Bengal, et al.) encountered a similar sort of decline of views. One part of the decline can be attributed to the fact that people were starved for football game content during the summer and NCAA was new and improved. With the return of the genuine article (irl football) you have lost some viewers as the football drought has ended. Here, it is Wednesday, but I still have games (sans commercials) from Sunday to watch. What am I doing, watching your slow-sim when I could be watching (via NFL+) genuine NFL games? Maybe I'm just stupid? As a non-console gamer, I find myself watching NCAA 25 Dynasties with a sense of "Why am I watching this?" I'm never going to acquire a gaming console, so it's unlikely I will ever have a chance to play NCAA 25 on my PC(s). I suppose, in another seven or eight years there may be an emulator available for a PC to emulate a PS5 and play NCAA 25. This timeframe is based upon the emulator driven NCAA 14 timeframe. Given that I buy a new PC every few years, I might have something able to handle the emulation within the next eight years. On the other hand, I'm already in my seventies and I doubt I'll have the inclination to deal with NCAA 25 when I'm eighty. I'm confident that other PC gamers, including those far younger than I, would share my opinion about "Why am I watching this?" Ultimately, your decision regarding the NIU Dynasty is going to be business-based. If your available time and effort can only extend to maintaining one slow-sim franchise/dynasty, there may be some compelling reasons to drop the NIU dynasty. I'm sure you can check, somewhere, what the installed base of NCAA 25 and Madden 25 looks like. I'd hazard a guess that there is a much greater installed base for Madden than NCAA. While the slow-sim franchise videos represent a niche market, I suspect that niche is larger for Madden 25 than for NCAA 25 as Madden has a greater brand loyalty (despite the dumpster fire from a couple of years ago) and is certainly available on more machines than NCAA. I suspect the Madden 'owners' skew a bit older than the NCAA licensee's and may be more appreciative of the slow-sim niche product you are creating. They don't have to be as old as I am to appreciate a decent Sim instead of the questionable playing ability of say, a Bengal. Of course, in the best of all possible worlds (see Voltaire) you could maintain both the NCAA and the Madden and cross-promote them to growing viewership for each. - sj
@@slickjack2618 always appreciate reading your insights and thank you! The CFB landscape has definitely been a tricky one for me. I could be biting off more than I can chew with pull wise still in the RUclips algorithm which is hindering it pushing my views for that particular game. I hope I can make it work one day but it’s tough spending 4 hours on a video of it to get a 1/10th the support I get on a hastily made Madden video lol
CB - Are you seeing a lot of pass deflections (the stat) with your slider set? I’ve been trying to find a slider to help get pass deflections more in-line with sim stats.
dont do the scenarios, more often than not you will end up punished because you either dont correctly answer it or because the stats they want you to get are totally unrealistic
@@CBGamingYT7Probably lol. Just saying, it's easy to rebuild a team when you go and get your QB after a season of not trying. Bryce Young deserves better.
@@brandynalexander3733 I agree he does. But Madden is what Madden is when playing, it’s twice as hard to progress a player the way I play (or don’t play) and Bryce being a 70 overall normal dev is a boring, losing filled franchise series waiting to happen unfortunately.

Love the direction of the team. A mid-season trade for Bryce to a team like the Jets or something could work. By then he should have more value

True deflections were decent before the last update but im trying to get a handle on them again since the patch update to all the defensive logic
@@CBGamingYT7 Lmk if you find a slider remedy for pass deflections. Love your work.
McMillan and Franklin will be good players in Madden and real life, I believe?!
Can you share your sliders for CBF25? I may have just missed them?
maybe trade bryce to the bucs so he can sit behind baker and then get good receivers to throw to

Not trying to salvage the career of Bryce Young is a coward move lol. Such a shame 😔
That seemed a little over the top

One of the many reasons why I haven't purchased a Madden in 5 years @@CBGamingYT7
panthers my fav team so nothing
