As someone who was at ECU in marching band at the time, my section's group chat was going crazy when we heard the news. We knew the season was probably screwed before it even started, but either way, I'm glad to still get football content from you!
Man it was a travesty what happened with Ruff. Glad I was at ECU during the glory days with Carden and Hardy, that game at Virginia Tech to put us into the top 25 holds a special place in my heart. Glad to see you pay homage to the Pirates
This was my most anticipated video for my week. I had a really tough week at university, and there’s nothing more fitting than this video coming out on my birthday. Thank you for your content and thank you for being you!
My boy Kurt, want to see you transfer yourself to Virginia after 2 seasons bring a natty then port yourself over to Madden 25 and be the #1 pick in the draft.
bro you're a bad ass youtuber!! I watch a little bit of NFL these days and I honestly had no idea who you were, but its cool!! someone from the "inside" diving into our little world, fun man
Kurt, bring more brother i recently started watching and been glued in since i thought you were a fan page then watched this i used to watch you in Virginia family love from Memphis
Much respect to you bro. Making it to the highest level, regardless of role when you arrive, is dope as fuck. Anyone talking down would dream to experience half of what you did in the show. Salute and respect bro. Keep grinding. 🙏🏿💪🏿
Love your videos KB! Not a big YT guy, but you keep me coming back! You seem like a cool guy, genuine, and someone I could see having a beer with while shooting the shit about the game. Before I start rambling, I just want to say, keep up the good work my man! And keep these videos rolling!
Damn coulda stretched this out to a series like 15-25 mins each. Guarantee people would love it. Either way ima watch it 😂 and love those Vikings colors haha!
We want more!! I wanna see you finish college and import to Madden, idc if you already did something on Madden - I wanna see this character all the way through!!
I relate to this so much 😭 I dislocated my knee first game of the year and haven’t been able to play since . Next year watch out for me @ u of u baby go utes
Mannnn, luckily you still made it out of ECU I didn’t have that luxury to leave and i definitely had the talent it’s just nostalgic to see you playing with ECU
7:28 It took you 2 hours of recording to get to this point? And the video’s 1 hour and 18 minutes?! That’s dedication only a professional would have. 😂👍
I don’t know if you’re doing it but if you hit L2/LT after your throw you can lead the ball a little further out of the circle could also do this on high ball and low ball throws
Hey Kurt, I have an idea for a teaching video. I’m a newbie, so I struggle with knowing when a WR is open or not. Could you do a video that shows what defines open for a WR?
Kurt, why have you not gone the coaching route yet? You seem to know a lot of football stuff, so why not put it to good use. Eventually become a really good QB coach, move on to Offensive Coordinator, etc. Then oust Roger Goodell and become commissioner.
KB playing in here like Payton Thorne. Got the lead, could have gotten an easy 1st down and run more clock off, yet decides to throw a 50/50 ball which turns into a pick six.😂
Dude it confuses me so much when people in these comments hate because dude calls himself an NFL QB lol. Bro was on NFL rosters. Nothing about that is a lie. It's not like the titles of these videos are "Elite NFL passer..." people are such losers 😂 most of these guys probably got cut in the first round of high school cuts much less started, were good enough to play college, good enough to get drafted and then good enough for several teams to sign. Literally top
Also, how did you become a redshirt sophomore? Wouldn’t you be a red shirt freshman? Did I miss that? And if you redshirted wouldn’t you be better just putting all your training points into ur skills?
Hesiman difficulty is like the ai is usering every single defensive player at once. It's good for a challenge, but it is really bad simulation football.
Nah fuck composure the way the O line blocks would turn me into the ultimate crash out. What do you mean Kennesaw State’s end just bull rushed Texas’ senior left tackle? How?

Can’t wait to see if you transfer this version of you into Madden 25, but I know you’ve already done a Madden 25 Kurt Benkert rebuild.
Gotta do the transfer. Only reason I got Madden 25
What?!? I didn’t know Kurt started at ECU?! That’s lit

Still makes me sad
@@KurtBenkert that purple and gold never leaves, I understand. Everything happens for a reason, keep grinding!
This is what we wanted to see in the first place lol I hope you take this series far into Madden into retiring 💪🏿
been waiting for this kinda content man, need more of these in madden to
Glad you’re here dude
U the first and only person I know that actually played for ECU
chris johnson went to ecu i believe
Zay Jones
Keaton Mitchell
Bob Saget
Chris Johnson
The first game was the most realistic representation of East Carolina pirates football I’ve ever seen. Greenville has great bars though!
Bro… every time I hear more of your story, the more I respect you! 🙏🏻 I hope this RUclips thing works for you!
Thanks bro 🙏

@@KurtBenkert i think bro is from the future
these videos are always so entertaining plus is also fun to watch a former qb from my high school thrive in so many ways
bro you're a bad ass youtuber!! I watch a little bit of NFL these days and I honestly had no idea who you were, but its cool!! someone from the "inside" diving into our little world, fun man
I love how quietly you celebrate. Great video
Love to see it. Seems like you're having much more fun than the Apollo Dimes vid, too. Looking forward to the next one, thanks!
Kurt, bring more brother i recently started watching and been glued in since i thought you were a fan page then watched this i used to watch you in Virginia family love from Memphis
My favorite CFB gamer. Love watching your videos playing College Football 25.
Much respect to you bro. Making it to the highest level, regardless of role when you arrive, is dope as fuck. Anyone talking down would dream to experience half of what you did in the show. Salute and respect bro. Keep grinding. 🙏🏿💪🏿
Appreciate this man

Being a 3-star recruit to go onto make an NFL roster is awesome! Props.
This was wildly entertaining! Can’t wait for next season and beyond!
Damn coulda stretched this out to a series like 15-25 mins each. Guarantee people would love it. Either way ima watch it 😂 and love those Vikings colors haha!
Colors are sick 🤝
Definitely gotta run it back! Really enjoy these videos, hope you keep em coming
35:40 was hype ngl
As a life long Packer fan, I wanna see the KB history and drop this lore on us. legggoooo PUT THOSE 4'S UP! LIL BOY
We want more!! I wanna see you finish college and import to Madden, idc if you already did something on Madden - I wanna see this character all the way through!!
Yes run this up again we need a full year and then the transfer to madden
Bring on the next season, Kurt! It’d be something if you could make the championship! 🫣 I’m sending all the support your way!
Ight this all the motivation I need back to the juco grind!! 🫡💙
I relate to this so much 😭 I dislocated my knee first game of the year and haven’t been able to play since . Next year watch out for me @ u of u baby go utes
Former Pirate - loved my time at ECU
Let's go season two!
Mannnn, luckily you still made it out of ECU I didn’t have that luxury to leave and i definitely had the talent it’s just nostalgic to see you playing with ECU
Definitely want to see another season!
LFG ! I just built Liberty University into an absolute powerhouse with the triple option.
My guy! Thanks for the video!
Love it Kurt keep up the 🔥 content
amazing video bro, plz do your junior year! we need to see you go pro!!!
I'm here for the Madden export I wanna see this you win a superbowl!!!!
Winston “Jet” wright jr, great story, great player!
dude, imagine being so good at football that you can play as yourself in a video game... Must be so surreal
Runnin ECU with the fellas in our online 1 star, 4 seasons in and it’s been a fuggin grind lmao
Love these vids drop part 2!!!
Season 2 for sure
What could have been for ECU. Justice For Kurt! Justice For Ruff!
Been waiting for this series
Love the attempt at a hurdle that got turned into a power bomb 😂
7:28 It took you 2 hours of recording to get to this point? And the video’s 1 hour and 18 minutes?! That’s dedication only a professional would have. 😂👍
Man this video took me WAY too long 😂😂😂
Love this! Season 2 pretty please. You sticking EC or thinking of a Virginia transfer?
Season 2!!! Side note...can you do an in-depth video that explains the slide protections and ID'ing the Mike.
I got you on the protections video
@@KurtBenkert my guy!!
The quiet hype screams are my favorite 🤣🤙🏼
There 100% needs to be a season 2
KB aka the master of the silent scream.
Words every madden player has said “can we just block” 35:28 😂
😅😅😅
Obviously do a season 2! KB, Round 2, FIGHT!
I don’t know if you’re doing it but if you hit L2/LT after your throw you can lead the ball a little further out of the circle could also do this on high ball and low ball throws
Turn wear and tear off it’s broken. It makes road to glory more fun
Maybe next year 👀
That Bowl game was personal. Cal was in the right place at the wrong time 😂
Would love to do this for myself but as a DE/OT, maybe College Football 26 they'll add more positions
ECU!! I’m from Tarboro!
goat
Hey Kurt, I have an idea for a teaching video. I’m a newbie, so I struggle with knowing when a WR is open or not. Could you do a video that shows what defines open for a WR?
imagine if we never let coach ruff go as well!
I would’ve gone D3 if I hadn’t torn my acl sophomore year in high school. An absolute disgusting thing injuries are. Life changing for better or worse
You ever change sliders? Maybe that could help cpu play better. Also gotta work on that Throw Power 😭😭
Asap we need it
You tore your ACL man that must have sucked I partially tore my ACL MCL and patella playing basketball worst pain I ever felt in my life 😢
Did tearing your ACL change your playing style at all? How long did it take you to get back to "normal"?
Yes it did, I used to run a lot more early on in college
@@KurtBenkert thanks for the reply man. i saw you play in Louisville in 2017
Kurt, why have you not gone the coaching route yet? You seem to know a lot of football stuff, so why not put it to good use. Eventually become a really good QB coach, move on to Offensive Coordinator, etc. Then oust Roger Goodell and become commissioner.
I’d have to stop making this content and I’d lose the freedom I have to spend as much time with family and get into other business ventures
Kurt would be the starting qb for the Packers but he went easy on the NFL by starting a RUclips channel. 😅
KB playing in here like Payton Thorne. Got the lead, could have gotten an easy 1st down and run more clock off, yet decides to throw a 50/50 ball which turns into a pick six.😂
Blew my knee out 2 times in hs I feel for you
Hell ya
Dog RUclips randomly put on your video while I was scrolling😭🙏
Meant to be
@@KurtBenkertFr
Cold ass Uniforms and Mascott?
I just realized we were at the same NC State camp in the summer of 2012 😂
Javious Bond moves on to the Trenton State Thunder after KBs first season.
ECU got that buffs oline sometimes they hold up sometimes u might run for your life
upgrading you player makes things easier buddy
Kurt: You gotta be patient here, or youre gonna throw picks
10sec later Throws a pick LOL
how did tearing your acl mess up your career ive torn mine and im playing better then before the acl tear
What throwing animation do you have???
I think 3/4 3 or 2

Internet is a wild place we’re still vibing though 😂
1:25 why does it say Cape Coral Florida? That’s just so strange because I live in fort Myers.
i can't explain it but it just feels like your wife or sibling or someone did the editing with how it trolls you sometimes. "WIN A DUB" lol
Lordt ham Mercy i feel for you on the Blocking?
Also, how did you become a redshirt sophomore? Wouldn’t you be a red shirt freshman? Did I miss that? And if you redshirted wouldn’t you be better just putting all your training points into ur skills?
HELLO
Hey
Show more emphasis on what your ratings are for skills. Each skill increase can be a huge positive for the play style
23:03 pat mcaffe gonna get you on the show
Turn xp sliders up Kurt
#Season2please ... then TRANSFER PORTAL KURT
Hesiman difficulty is like the ai is usering every single defensive player at once. It's good for a challenge, but it is really bad simulation football.
ECU the party school of North Carolina 😆
I swear EA updated option attack to make the running back dumber because the drill was too free.
SEASON 2 senior year baby NATTY TIME
Transfer to UVA and make it somewhat like real life 👀
Bro. You hold on to the ball FOREVER. It's a video game. You can't do that.
Nah fuck composure the way the O line blocks would turn me into the ultimate crash out. What do you mean Kennesaw State’s end just bull rushed Texas’ senior left tackle? How?
