5:00 - I know exactly how you feel. There are no original Xbox NCAA 2003 named rosters online which aren't corrupt (They fail to load entirely), so I spent a lot of time looking teams/players up and the amount of people who have died around or before the age of 40, and how many of them by suicide, is astounding. Doing retro sports franchises find you saying "RIP" to so many people we grew up watching.
This is a great point that doesn't get talked about it seems. I was playing a game recently and came across the name Gaines Adams and I was like oh that sounds really familiar so I looked him up to see he died unexpectedly at 26 in the midst of his playing career.
@@TheBlackMambaa248 - yes sir. And my original point is that there are a LOT of players who we have "never heard of" whose lives have ended by their own hands after football. If you don't know what Junior Seau did for himself and others with his suicide, then I suggest you look it up. it feels wrong to call him a hero, and yet how can I not? the man shot himself in the chest so as not to damage his brain and asked his brain to be looked at and bring attention to the public. While I wish he never had done it, bro went out thinking of others like the ultimate team mate in some ways.
11:58 Gibril Wilson is a true hidden gem on the field. Back when the game was new, I also found him with that 90 speed and he was CLUTCH for my team(s) and recommended him in the forums for others in their franchises.
@@dyn-chise - I feel the same about Madden's Mini Camp training in 04-08. I know that a lot of people complained about the terrible "progression" in 2k5 and the game is/was known more for the gameplay & presentation for individual games and when online play was supported. Madden "always" had the better off-field features and career modes.
I understand you not want to start Philip Rivers but trade away Drew Brees could have brought you good pieces to help Philip develop draft capital and a player or two

Yup! I saw that speed and instantly wanted him. Unfortunately, speed isn't as important in simulation 😅
You got to keep these rebuild going do every team believe me your channel will blow up hard im put people on
Great content.
Okay! This should be good! Yeah!
Can't wait to see how you draft to fix this mess.
Those Powder Blues. Few uniforms are as good as those.
Those unis are beautiful!
Best uniform in the NFL as far as objective look goes.
I forgot brees and rivers were on the same team. also, last game was a heartbreaker
A great quarterbacks room for sure with Flutie in there too!
You need to do one with the jaguars
Did you turn weekly preparation off, or do you skip that?
I keep that turned off as I feel like it could be unfair since the computer doesn't have that option.
