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
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. :)
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.

Ryan: One of the worst stories in all of sports gaming. Me: Forget sports gaming, it's one of the worst stories ever since books started in its inception. I could probably read a preschool book and it would better than this story in this mode.
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.
Brandon Coleman for your mo hurst, I raise you a nick fairly. Forced to retire because of his heart condition. The saints pretty much forced him to retire. Same with bosh and the Miami heat.
@@morrays1996 im just saying by saying "it makes no fucking sense" isnt in fact true when a player who is currently still playing had this exact thing happen, plus in the mode he was cleared by doctors just like mo hurst was. Its not unrealistic, it is however a shitty uninteresting story mode through hs and college and no decisions you make matter.
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
Honestly EA should just make it no story just play 4 high school games, 2 College games, Then add like a whole draft combine kinda like the old superstar mode
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 😆
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.
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....
This mode never made sense lol Im SURPRISED they didn't add micro transactions to add a story line lol pay for your option lol. Choose your choice for an additional fee of course cause ITS NOT IN THE GAME LOL
@@mistermann3225 lol and here its congenital. Meaning caught at birth hahaha. This might be the worst medical storyline in the history of TV/films/gaming.
My guy if that’s where you stopped playing, lemme tell you it gets way worse. For one, the coach tells you if you enter the draft then you’ll be lucky if you go 3rd round but more likely 6th. I got drafted 1st round by the Bears, but you don’t even get to play the season. It skips you weeks to a “moment” or to the playoffs. Then I started a new franchise where I switched to WR and I got drafted 1st round by... The Bears, again. Then it did that skipping shit again where I can’t even play a full season. It’s an absolute train wreck of a game mode.
I saw a video that it's bugged and supposedly they're gonna fix it to where it doesn't autodraft to Bears but it's EA so who knows if that's true 🤷🏽♂️
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
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
@@drzionsburneraccount5364 why is your name Dr Zion burner account you get a burn Dr Zion or something dude you going to toast them with your marshmallows come on dude he's not part of your happy meal when your toasting people you don't want to roast them that's all I got to say
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.
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.
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 !!!
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.
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.
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.
You have a heart defect, you lose your starting job, you switch to wide receiver and some how you get a scholarship to play for a power house school as the starting quarterback. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. Like last year when you’re a highly touted recruit and then all of a sudden benched for 4 years because the next year they signed a 5 star recruit. At least give us the chance to beat the qb out or make it realistic....let me transfer
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?
@@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
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.
@@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
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.
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.
I forget which game it was, but when I was younger I played this game where on the final boss if you lost it gave you a cutscene or the world being destroyed and then you’d reload from tour last save point. I wish this is what EA would do to basically show you that failure DOES ACTUALLY HAPPEN in sports and that life isn’t perfect
I remember, I faced Nebraska in the playoff in FoF. I won 113-0 with 9 or 10 TD passes. I got benched for the national championship as the story goes. Makes no sense. Then we win the natty after I go in, 56 to 6, with 3 or 4 TD passes. As the story goes, he says the other dude is the better fit for the offense. So let me get this straight EA. In the 2 hardest games of a college football year, I score over 10 TDs through the air, setting college and college playoff records, and because of that, I lose my position to fit the story? Like bruh, no realism at all.
Fun fact, College Basketball player Hank Gathers died on the court because of a heart condition that the school, LMU, mistreated and ignored. His family got a very large settlement after that. Funny a sports game went with such a terrible forced story mode. Just give us a dedicated superstar mode. The example is out there, stop overthinking it EA.
EA never ever listens to the community as we said no to long shot. So EA doubles down and then puts in the yard while the gameplay is buggy and has very little logic. Its going to be a long 5 years and hopefully the NFL will open it up to other companies.
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
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.
Ryan, this story mode actually gets even worse. If you purposely play absolutely horrible throughout the mode, you still get praised for "doing a good job and playing great" even tho your playing absolutely terrible. But it gets even worse. The combine that ea was so excited about is literally you pressing 3 buttons when they pop up on screen and you get a pre determined time based on your position. Also Tommy is basically completely forgotten about after you start the process of getting drafted. Also, when you get the option to pick your favorite team or let fate decide which team drafts you, no matter what you'll always get picked by the bears. And even if you do terrible throughout college and high school, you'll at the very lowest get drafted in the third round. On top of that, you don't even get to play a full season until many cutscenes down the line. During one of the seasons you'll get injured and have to start reprogressing your player all 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.
After watching a play through of this...I can tell you Ryan that even if you choose to keep his secret in high school, the game still forces you to tell the coach... off screen, no less. EA can’t even do a choice based story right smh
See, when they said he had a clean bill of health and that he could now play wide receiver, I was skeptical. But I decided that it made sense if he got his surgery that he could play any position. But then in college his heart fails him AGAIN and he is hospitalized. Just as the logic couldn’t get any worse they decided that once he had almost died twice they were going to PUT HIM BACK IN AT STARTER. I love it
After 5 years in the league, winning the Super Bowl 3 times, throwing for 5000 yards 3 seasons throwing for 50+ touchdowns 2 seasons and 40+ in all seasons I just lost my starting QB job to K Michael Badgley. Rated a 97 currently and the game before Badgely beat me out for the job I threw for 500 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Honestly EA should just make it no story just play 4 high school games, 2 College games, Then add like a whole draft combine kinda like the old superstar mode
@@speedyeagle2.25 ya 😂. Pre determined trash dude lol. I was really disappointed when I saw that
And you always get drafted by the Bears unless you preselected 🤣🙄
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.
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 😆
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 $35 in real life.
@@ChadHellgado Texans o line*
Aren’t you supposed to go though a physical to even be put on the team how was it kept a secret the story makes no sense
Physicals don't always catch heart problems....but the fact they keep playing hin after it's discovered is STUPID AS PISS. Irl, he would be made to quit football....
This mode never made sense lol Im SURPRISED they didn't add micro transactions to add a story line lol pay for your option lol. Choose your choice for an additional fee of course cause ITS NOT IN THE GAME LOL
@@zeroiceice008 They would charge you to pay for the guy's hospital bills. *Pay 200$ or Billy DIES. His blood will be on your hands....*
@@mistermann3225 He has a giant scar on his chest from the surgery. Definitely would have found out during a physical.
@@mistermann3225 lol and here its congenital. Meaning caught at birth hahaha.
This might be the worst medical storyline in the history of TV/films/gaming.
My guy if that’s where you stopped playing, lemme tell you it gets way worse. For one, the coach tells you if you enter the draft then you’ll be lucky if you go 3rd round but more likely 6th. I got drafted 1st round by the Bears, but you don’t even get to play the season. It skips you weeks to a “moment” or to the playoffs. Then I started a new franchise where I switched to WR and I got drafted 1st round by... The Bears, again. Then it did that skipping shit again where I can’t even play a full season. It’s an absolute train wreck of a game mode.
I got drafted by the bears at RB, yet im not drafted to a team like tampa bay who need a RB more than the bears do
I was also drafted by the bears...wtf
@@PaxChristi7 if you dont force pick a team i think you'll automatically get drafted by the bears lmao
I saw a video that it's bugged and supposedly they're gonna fix it to where it doesn't autodraft to Bears but it's EA so who knows if that's true 🤷🏽♂️
Also drafted by the bears, 1st round and they didn’t even have a first round draft this year
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
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
I’ve never clicked so fast
Same 😂
Yeah because reading the title i thought the homie got hacked 😂
EagleZtoTheGrave ong thought he got hacked
no cap lmaoo
Same
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.
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
My QB in highschool just recently passed away due to a heart condition he was born with.
I’m sorry man
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

All this effort could've gone into FIXING FRANCHISE MODE.
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
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
Never Stop Making These, Ryan. One of best honest Madden RUclipsrs.
Facts tho
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.
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
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
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
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
They gave the jaguars a 4-3 defense when the team said months ago their switch to 3-4 as a jags fan I was upset they gave them a 4-3 over 3-4
Man it's really awesome to watch Ryan's channel blow up like this. Been watching for a year now probably
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
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.
The used that whole story try and get 'The Heartbreak Kids' gimmick over........EA must have hired WWE creative on this!
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 graduated from Sex High School lmao
this and the yard are the best modes ea have ever made
Maybe the yard...not FOF
Gtfo😭😭😭 no effort in this mode at all
SIKE 😂😂😂
Say sike rn
@@1whoknowsn01 the yard is ass
You have a heart defect, you lose your starting job, you switch to wide receiver and some how you get a scholarship to play for a power house school as the starting quarterback. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
Like last year when you’re a highly touted recruit and then all of a sudden benched for 4 years because the next year they signed a 5 star recruit. At least give us the chance to beat the qb out or make it realistic....let me transfer
Exactly
3:38 "Some colleges have a QB rotation rule where you just get benched halfway through a game" LMFAOOOOO
Anyone else notice “Chris Benoit” on the Patreon list at the end 👀
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.
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?
My Scrambling Qb ran a 4.46 40 my speed ended up being 65 with 75 acceleration WTF the exclusive license and EA are killing football games
I really can't wait for angry Joe to rip this game. The writing in fotf is sooo trashy.
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
It’s crazy how FIFA’s story/career mode can be so much more fun. Amazing really. Don’t you think they’d take notes...
Again...Proud Subscriber here 🙌🏾😎
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
I thought you were being serious in the title lol
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.
I burst out laughing as Ryan described how ridiculous this story is.
FUNNY AS HELL!!
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
Lol I been waiting on u brother 😂😂😂
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.
This sounds like a lifetime movie written by a group of people who have never watched a game of football before
Here before the “here before the never stop making these comments”
"Face of the franchise is incredible" more like incredibly pathetic
The storyline was written by the Fifa team at EA 🤔
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.
Is this a fake video?????
nope
I’m not a fan of face of franchise
I don't think anyone is
I can’t play the mode due to the fact it keeps crashing the game after the game from the kitchen scene.
In Madden 22, you get a stealth mission in which you infiltrate the other teams practice facility and steal their playbook for the Patriots.
Really love this video. It is like a comedy skit... How horrendously bad the plot you describe plays out. Thanks for making this.
I forget which game it was, but when I was younger I played this game where on the final
boss if you lost it gave you a cutscene or the world being destroyed and then you’d reload from tour last save point. I wish this is what EA would do to basically show you that failure DOES ACTUALLY HAPPEN in sports and that life isn’t perfect
Sounds like Chrono Trigger
I read your title and immediately knew you were being sarcastic 😂🤣😂☺️
From the makers who gave you "madden 19 Longshot: dead beat dad" and "Madden 20 Face of the Franchise: For the Kids"
I remember, I faced Nebraska in the playoff in FoF. I won 113-0 with 9 or 10 TD passes. I got benched for the national championship as the story goes. Makes no sense. Then we win the natty after I go in, 56 to 6, with 3 or 4 TD passes. As the story goes, he says the other dude is the better fit for the offense. So let me get this straight EA. In the 2 hardest games of a college football year, I score over 10 TDs through the air, setting college and college playoff records, and because of that, I lose my position to fit the story? Like bruh, no realism at all.
I averaged around 100 points per game and won the national championship but coach wants Tommy to start. Thanks EA
Did you check out the draft day scene where they copy and paste the friend over the agents roll.... copy and paste classic.
😂😆🤣 I LOVE THESE!!! Keep on keeping on.
Fun fact, College Basketball player Hank Gathers died on the court because of a heart condition that the school, LMU, mistreated and ignored. His family got a very large settlement after that. Funny a sports game went with such a terrible forced story mode. Just give us a dedicated superstar mode. The example is out there, stop overthinking it EA.
EA never ever listens to the community as we said no to long shot. So EA doubles down and then puts in the yard while the gameplay is buggy and has very little logic. Its going to be a long 5 years and hopefully the NFL will open it up to other companies.
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
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.
Ryan, this story mode actually gets even worse. If you purposely play absolutely horrible throughout the mode, you still get praised for "doing a good job and playing great" even tho your playing absolutely terrible.
But it gets even worse. The combine that ea was so excited about is literally you pressing 3 buttons when they pop up on screen and you get a pre determined time based on your position. Also Tommy is basically completely forgotten about after you start the process of getting drafted.
Also, when you get the option to pick your favorite team or let fate decide which team drafts you, no matter what you'll always get picked by the bears. And even if you do terrible throughout college and high school, you'll at the very lowest get drafted in the third round.
On top of that, you don't even get to play a full season until many cutscenes down the line. During one of the seasons you'll get injured and have to start reprogressing your player all 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.
After watching a play through of this...I can tell you Ryan that even if you choose to keep his secret in high school, the game still forces you to tell the coach... off screen, no less. EA can’t even do a choice based story right smh
If B Fresh didn't exist this would be the worst story in the history of sports games
See, when they said he had a clean bill of health and that he could now play wide receiver, I was skeptical. But I decided that it made sense if he got his surgery that he could play any position. But then in college his heart fails him AGAIN and he is hospitalized. Just as the logic couldn’t get any worse they decided that once he had almost died twice they were going to PUT HIM BACK IN AT STARTER. I love it
It gets even worse when you get to the nfl... you get to play like 2 regular season games
After 5 years in the league, winning the Super Bowl 3 times, throwing for 5000 yards 3 seasons throwing for 50+ touchdowns 2 seasons and 40+ in all seasons I just lost my starting QB job to K Michael Badgley. Rated a 97 currently and the game before Badgely beat me out for the job I threw for 500 yards and 7 touchdowns.
Great video....you are a very large thorn in EA's side!!!!good for you
