Stick them
On the white pick them if you chew them it's a fluke
Ain't no use to you getting suited up
W's a struggle for you for you even boot it up
Catch them get up and stretch up
I'm a veteran, I bet you they crowning the greatest
Beat them like they ain't played it
And I'll be lining fine, tell you D-Line
I'm coming through, we on a poster
Cause I'm supposed to be the golden 22
But I ain't no one that deserves to be the champion
No, work it out
Okay, I won't ever come down
If you're in good shape, you can do it.
Before you reach the top, you got to remember what came before.
In the 10 years of this competition, we've seen every move.
Every blitz, sack, drive, moments that can build a legacy.
that can build a legacy.
He's probably right now, he's on his own level.
The MCS has changed my life.
Right now, this is for sure the most important situation
I've ever been in in my entire career.
This is my road and my stepping stone
to getting back on the mountain top.
I feel like I've worked so hard
by just playing the game so much.
I love the MCS, I'm very happy to be a part of it.
I think my younger version of myself would be really proud.
You know, I wrote down my school project
that I wanted to make some money at an EA tournament
and I've definitely done that.
Where came before is important.
What's up next?
That's up to you.
Five in zone.
In trouble, but he's got a man.
Let's get him.
One a finish.
One a game.
When greatness come knocking,
what will you do?
And then there were four.
Welcome into day three of the Madden Bowl here live in Redwood City, home of Madden and EA's headquarters.
We have had a fantastic two days of competition among the top 14 Madden players this season
for Madden 26 and we are here live in front of this rockets crowd ready to give away a ring
and ready to tell another Madden Bowling Champion!
Yes, sir!
Welcome everyone watching in on Master
going alongside the voice of MCS.
Nick, we got Melvin Gordon in the building.
We got one great user in the building.
And we got a MCS legend in the building.
Give it up for Skimbo!
He's in the building!
What an unbelievable week we've had here, Nick,
Nick at Madden Bowl and it is time to give away ring. It's not just an unbelievable week
We're talking about an unbelievable season and it all comes down to this
This is what these players have worked for the entire season
250,000 dollars going to the winner. It's gonna be absolute
Melvin you was into yesterday you
Every game was so close so tight. I mean guys were born in overtime every game was close every plate matter for
250,000. I'm hoping to see it today. Now use it. You the OG
that came. You know how this thing goes to be on the stage
right now. Just fight on to the first two days of this tournament.
You're two wins away from being able to beat Maddenbow in. What's
the price of these players are doing right now? This means
everything. As a Madden player, you understand the legacy. You
understand everything on the line. This is your dream. All
players up here. This is a dream for them to be able to walk
win the Madden Bowl, 250,000 and be crowned the best Madden player in the world.
Listen, this is a dream for those four guys.
And let's look at the bracket right now as we look at our last four players in the competition.
Dreamy will take on Mr. Football 88 in our first semi-final matchup.
We also have Astro taking on David.
Skimba, I want to turn to you because you've been there, done that.
What will it take for one of these four guys to come up victorious?
Just keep doing what you're doing.
in all these hours. You just take it play by play. Let your game do the talking. Just
stay in the moment. Don't think ahead. Stay in the moment.
But how much easier is that set than done? Because again, we talk about one sport game.
We're talking about overtime. We've seen kicks for $25,000. We've seen two point conversions
go right and wrong for these guys. So much emotion that has gone on to this tournament
so far brought this whole season. How do you say, princess?
I don't know how they're doing it, but to be honest, they're all doing it. We've seen,
Like you said, clutch kicks, two point convergence.
There's been a clutch moment, I feel like,
in every game so far.
Yes, there has been, but the clutch is one we saw yesterday.
I know we said there's been a lot of close games.
Actually, every game has been closed so far
through these three days, except for one.
And that was our PlayStation Player of the Days,
yesterday, Astro, with a huge, huge victory miss
over a number two seed zombie.
I mean, it's the most impressive win we've seen here
the entire week.
One of the most impressive we've seen the whole year,
We know what Astro does offensively, but he locked down defensively.
How about not just playing at the offense, but he had a kick return.
He also forced two fumbles.
All three phases of the game impressive for Astro.
Is he one of the favorites here usually?
Absolutely.
He's the offensive juggernaut.
I feel like on one side of the bracket, you got defense, balance,
players like Dreaming88.
But then you got Astro and David T. I'm going to be honest.
On the other side of the bracket, yeah, you got to handle business.
But understand the championship game, whoever comes out on that right side
of the bracket, they are high powered.
And I know we got a really big team and we're going to give out some rings later on today, but we also skimbo
We're giving out some cash as well here because it's fried food. It's absolutely incredible
$250,000 for the first place and I think that I'm going to, you got a little briefcase for this one, don't you?
Hmm
You got to tell that money man!
We got a can, we're going to go for the ring, to Melville, but I mean, this is life changing money here skimbo
I mean, like I said, this is why you put in the hours, all those big pikes, you laughing with your boys
boys look at that $250,000 for playing a kid's game.
This is a kid's game we grew up playing,
and they're playing for real cash today.
It's unbelievable.
It's amazing to see how much this MCS community has grown up
because it wasn't $25,000 back when you were playing with it.
No, it wasn't.
It is now.
It's amazing to see.
But before we get into the semifinal action,
let's get you caught up on what you miss in day two.
We are back for the final action of Madden Bull and if it's anything like what we saw
in day one, we are in for a treat.
Welcome to the stage, Mr. Football, 88.
Here's the opponent looking to get a second Madden Bull ring, Henry.
To keep his Madden Bull hopes alive.
And the ball, and we're all square for the win.
And a spot to semi-final.
Back to power, that's what I mean.
That's what's going on.
And it goes, Henry, our second quarter finalist,
Dreamy, his opponent, Dez.
Oh, my God!
Left side, Kez, got it over.
And we go handoff, Keaton Minch, that's a touchdown.
Dreamy's a mad and bold semi-finalist.
Welcome to the stage, Astro.
The beast is in an accident.
They're gonna sketch for Astro!
And this is not gonna happen.
It's not gonna happen.
Kick off the fucking hat!
What's up, brother?
To the house!
Astro is taking home the knob he takes down the top two seats.
Astro is on to the semi-finals.
Final quarter, final of the day.
Go, Gigi!
His opponent, David T!
For outweighs, that's past three-man rush.
What's left to be touched down?
The one to go.
It's Red Bull David T. with the $45,000 stop.
It is that time, Jack.
First off, I need you guys to tell me who you think is going to win.
But also, you are winning just for tuning in because we have much viewership rewards.
You watch 15, 30, and 60 minutes and you'll receive a switch pack.

Getting ready for this mad and bold shout to the crowd. You guys have been absolutely amazing so far to start off the show
Thanks you guys tune in tune in all day to get all these viewers to be warden
Before we continue the show, got a shout out to the show presented by USA.
We've got some active duty, military members here, show them some love one time in the audience.
Supporting the troops here is incredible to see.
Appreciate you guys for everything you guys do.
Let's break the seat guys here.
I promise you're going to be here for the show.
And also that, I need everybody to listen up because not only does it matter about the cars that you have in this game,
it matters how you play the game.
And we've got the two best teachers of the game right here.
user and skin boat is going to help us understand how this game works.
But first before we do that, let's get to know two of our semifinalists here.
That will be performing Mr. Football 88 in Dreaming.
88, we're finally here.
It's Madden Bull Championship day, but you've got a big semi-final match.
How do you feel going into that?
I feel amazing.
I mean, I play Journey a lot going into this.
I play Ghost as best friend a lot going into this.
So they know I'm going to run, but that means I know what they're going to run too.
I feel comfortable against the soft defense and the defense.
Yeah, I feel really good.
I mean I've grinded this whole year for this moment and I'm just ready to put my whole game plan out there and
Show the world what I'm about obviously tough opponent a lot of experience there. How do you feel about it's gonna play into this match?
But how do you feel about your game play? I mean, I know he's not gonna be nervous like he's been here before
He's won the Madden Bowl. He's won multiple belts like he's he's here. He's been that he's done that
But I just gotta say to my game and stay composed. Yeah, he knows my game plan perfect like to a tee
I mean he's playing me a couple times so all I have to do is overcome all the
knowledge that he knows and just show him that I'm the better player and that
was Nick earlier talking to two of our semi-finalists and user 88 and 3 they
they they went through the fountain to get to this point here let's start with
mr. football 88 first how was he able to be right here on the stage in the
semi-final I mean listen one of the touches plays of the tournament so far
being able to knock out the number one player Henry as we take a play right
here. Henry's on offense and you see this is the two-point conversion for the
game in overtime and right here you're just not expecting to see the number one
play in the world to make this mistake on the read but guess what even the best
play in the world can sometimes mess up skim break down what we see right here.
So Henry's looking for a quick flat to the left. Mr. football 88 actually had
that DB and a hard flight. If Henry would have just waited like half a second
longer there would have been a corner out open in the back left however Henry
through it as soon as he got the ball and Mr. Football 88 was right there to break it up.
Absolutely, snap throw right there, really no pressure, no reason for Henry to do that
uncanny risk. But then we're going to go back and take a look at Drini's masterful comeback because
we thought he was cooked. Had to come on with the onside but it started right here with this plate
how he was able to go down the field and get six. Let's go ahead and bring that up.
Amazing comeback for him. Take it away, user. What do you see here?
As you see right here, the one thing about it, running the ball in the red zone,
being patient third and go, he's already down.
He's trying to fight back.
Skim, what do you see right here?
I mean, this was a great call.
There's 50 seconds on the clock.
Dez had no timeouts, but it was third and fourth.
So Dez might be thinking a pass is coming.
However, Henry, sorry.
Drini ran the ball up the middle, and you can see the user for Dez
was just not ready for that run.
Great call by Drini handing the ball off, because I really do think
Dez thought a pass was coming on that play.
Absolutely not expecting the run play right there. Just a great play call by Drini able to punch it in and that catapulted him to get
The onside and here he is today right now in the final four
Enough of the talking though. Yeah, are you guys ready for a first in my final matchup?
Well, are you guys ready for a first in my final matchup?
Let's get this thing started, baby
Hand me the full handoff, Keaton Mitchell!
It's our brother to the Hacks!
It's an amazing feeling to know that you're one of the four best players in Madden right now.
Let's go!
I have the best defense, best clock management, best offense, best aura.
The job is not done. I'm looking for that ring and I'm looking for that $250,000.
It's my time and I'm going to prove it.
Let's crown a champion tonight!
And one for the stage are semi-finalists starting off first the two-time belt winner looking to submit his spot on the Mount Rushmore
competitive Madden one of the stage
dreamy
And his opponent, the Madden 24 Playoffs Challenge Champion, a man who has been dubbed Mr. Consistency.
Welcome to Stage 88!
The stage is set as we look to crown a champion tonight here from the Bay Area.
It was asked of Michael Skimbaugh, one great user with the gentleman.
We crown a champ tonight.
It doesn't get any better than this right now, man.
You got one former Madden Bowl champion in the building and you got 88.
Then right there is he ready for the biggest moment? We will see. You've been in the spot before what's the nerves like right now?
Oh, they're high. It doesn't matter how many times you've been there. There's still always gonna be nervous
The thing that's insane is how good greeny still is right?
I remember when he first came on to the scene be ten years old and here he is now and they considered him a cool man
Oh, yeah, you know, you don't have much long lifespan when it comes to e-sports
on any sports at all a couple years and that shows just how good Dreamy is to be still able to play at a high level for so
So long let's head inside USA a stadium get live people
Taking out of a 25-yard line, that's where we will begin this semi-final action
$50,000 game of John Madden football gentlemen.
Let's set the playbooks, set the theme team
for the people at home.
Four, Dreamy.
He's out there, Steelers offensive playbook,
Ravens theme team, 488.
He's rocking the Jaguars offensive playbook,
50 Saints theme team.
Very different.
Talk about this Jalen Milrow skimbo.
This is one of the best quarterbacks out there.
The young strata Alabama's been making plays here
on the Madden Bowl stage.
Yeah, so the thing about this card,
he gets a discounted bucket.
I believe it's either conductor, gun slinger,
something like that, but he has 94 speed, 99 throw power.
He can make every throw that you want him to make, it matters.
On the flip side, I got to throw this one over to my man here.
Oh, yeah.
Keep pounding.
The Panthers legend, Julius Peppers.
Easily the best defensive end on the game,
probably ever in the league.
Let's be real, right?
Let's be real.
Where's the crowd at when I say that?
Julius Peppers is the best defensive end ever.
As you see this card right here, 96 speed.
This guy's gonna be making plays all day today.
Chesson, believe he's gonna give somebody a turn over.
Really didn't feel sincere that cheer they gave for him.
It's so sad.
It's not a lot of Panther fans out here.
Why do you hate other Panthers, man?
Is it because you're a Cleveland Browns man?
I'm not hating on anybody.
It's tough being a Cleveland Browns man, ain't it?
That's the story of my life.
Shock information, it is John L. Way at the helm for greening.
And they'll hand this one off to you Mitchell.
The vault's already found a little bit on the outside,
call no game seconds in. The thing that makes Mr. 48 so good and
Madden yesterday started out in double mode. Now I believe this is like a dime
look. He is really good at switching defenses during the game like he's
really really good at multiple defenses. A lot of people are not.
Way back to pass. It's amazing. He finds O'Dell Beckham Jr.
OBJ will pick up the first down and we got a lot of people. I know the Twitch
Shaft crazy right now shout out to everybody watching at home. Let us know in the chat who you got take it home
The ring tonight. We'll pull up some of your comments here during the game
Shout out to everybody's hung out with us all three days here from the Madden Bowl handoff to Mitchell inside zone pick up six
You know all dreams career
Since he first started playing he's never just been a passer or just a runner. He will mix it up all game
He always keeps you, you know, you have to balance.
He stays balanced.
She's not going to let you pass to Metamon defense.
He's going to make you respect the run.
That's how he got here, running that ball.
That's a B.
And he's got a sketch.
I mean, you don't need to have a whole lot of height
when you're that open.
Easy pitch and catch to sketch.
User words.
I didn't think I'd be saying anything better than that again.
No, I never saw this one coming.
Man in both finals sketches easily.
Targeted number one target to receive on the field.
He got a good switch.
Go to Keaton Mitchell at the scene.
Doesn't make the catch.
You saw that.
Is that a KO that went up over the middle?
That was a real good switch right there by 88.
You know, on the sideline, it looked like he had a slot
fade for a touchdown.
88 being great on the switch and being able to switch back
to the middle and come up with a hit stick to break up that play.
Finding Hester on the outside.
Is Skimbo your historian?
Is Skimbo the shortest player to play on an MCS team?
He might be.
I don't know if there are many 5-5 players.
I will say so far the game plan it seems like for Mr. football 88 if you watch
his defenses outside corners have been on hard-flood flats he's looking to
swish stick on the safety he's trying to bait either the streak or the deep
corner away in the shock into one of the right side solar receiver one left is
Devin Hester he's got keep Mitchell on the left hip of the Stanford grad John
on L. Way back to pass.
Looks right side.
It's Hester to the five.
Shaken Bank, five-six.
And like I said, right before that play,
Mr. Football 88 is putting hard flats on the outside.
Jorini has spotted that.
So he's looking for these deep corner routes.
It is just not working out so far for Mr. Football 88
with these more flats on the outside.
Kick his away.
We'll get to see 88 off.
There goes Hester.
Look at him go to the 40 yard line.
That's where he will start his offensive drive.
Take a look at this replay.
Skimble, you see one more time.
Stevon Hester on again.
No zones are guarding that deep corner on left on the left
or the right.
Trini sees it hits it instantly for a touchdown
early in this game.
Great drive.
And that's an easy read when you see those outside corner
You know you got that slide fade.
It's just a snap throw.
They can't switch stick over there in time.
This is that jail in Millrow.
He's got a bunch of the right side.
Solo 10 and Jeremy Shacky left side of that formation.
We'll have back draw with Marshall Falk.
He'll find a couple, give him six on the line.
And I know our man master is standing by.
He's got a special guest.
Let's go to our master.
Yes, I do.
As I said, we have giveaways here all day long
for the crazy crowd and amazing atmosphere
that we have here inside Madden Bull and I'm here joined by Jay and from Hayward, California.
As you can see, he bang bang, not a gang all day, baby.
How much do you enjoy the MC competition?
It's amazing.
These guys are crazy good.
You can tell they practice hours and hours and you can just only appreciate that as an
audience but seeing that for day one, day two, day three, it's crazy.
We want to appreciate you for the support, the energy you're bringing out because you're
a big-time Niner fan. Melvin Gordon got a special surprise for you. We are giving away
a Brock Burdy Niners jersey for you. Appreciate you for coming out here and again. We have
more giveaways all day here. Back to you Nick.
Whoa, a little free stuff in the crowd. First and 10.
And most fun, looks like he got hit by Bill Goldberg in the backfield. That was a pier
here's fear. Seven nothing.
Our score early dream with the lead.
$50,000 in the spot.
The bad day final on the line.
Once to the right side, Titan stays left and Faulk will
split out.
We saw this a lot yesterday.
Social Fox split out of the backfield and four wide
overloading the right side of that formation.
Millwell looks over the middle.
Five to Valverde.
Denver Bronco picks up a couple.
Dick Thurid down right here, open and drive.
That's what you don't want to see at 39.
You're trying to make it at 30 manageable.
Can Drenny somehow hold him and bring up a fourth down
right here.
We'll see.
Two right to the left.
Two right to the right.
Two left to the left side.
Nero on the shotgun.
Footing through all the possible oddles,
the chess match in this game.
It's going to be a fun one to watch as Nero takes the snap.
And that's a, those in left side is not a book user.
You know, shut your mouth right now.
That's a police searchable.
This bad with a book, I thought you were thinking about it.
Hey, you took it right off the tip of my tongue.
I definitely thought it was gonna be a book.
And Mr. 88, we already know we talked about it earlier.
It just seems like he never plays a perfect game.
And you're wondering about that.
Oh, that wasn't open.
Not even close to being open.
Boardwalk CES is my money is on Astro for the win.
Shut up, everybody, I'm on Twitch.
Quonsan, you gotta say, and David's gonna wash everyone as he finds Burns.
I actually imagine that user is probably gonna say, that's a really good throw.
We got Hedgie, 111, 210, Drenny's my goal, you're Joe Man.
We got 90x9, 99, 88, let's go, baby.
the defense getting involved. Third and long tried to hurry it up called timeout.
Dreamy is playing great defense, but something you guys have to know when you play Madden
that there are these updates that puts different formations and plays in the game and you guys
see it. A lot of these pros are running that gun bunch tied in week. David T runs it. Mr.
So make sure you guys are not just sticking in one formation.
They update playbooks throughout the year.
Remember on a big 3rd and 11, steps up, rolls right.
He's going to take off, gets a block on the outside.
He's got a hold of it.
Oh, my God.
Doesn't fumble forth and short.
I promise every Madden, except for this Madden,
that's probably a fumble with the quarterback.
Absolutely.
I'm looking for the peanut punch right there.
Do not get a shrimp animation or anything.
Big fourth down right here.
You understand, 88 is feeling the pressure
where he has to respond against seven going forward.
He's probably going to go into his money play.
The gun bunch tied in weak.
He's going to motion the running back.
No, it's not weak, it's normal.
Bunch over the left side.
Now he motions forward.
Opposite side of the bunch.
There's a wide side on the right.
Millrow empty backfield.
Early momentum play.
Millrow back to pass.
Three man rush.
Watch the time.
Look at the state of the mess.
Stubborn Winn got to stop early.
And this $50,000 game of Matthew.
Greeny Winn protect the sticks with the serve
He did not want to throw the ball deep.
He was looking underneath.
Zones were everywhere.
He used the playmaker feature, which is hold the left trigger
and flick the right stick up, but he had an overthrow.
That's major.
You're open and drive.
Got to go down and get seven.
Nothing right here.
Got to check this away.
Don't scramble for three.
But you think about it.
Open and drive, Skimbo.
And you don't get any points.
What does that do to you mentally when you're on the stage
playing somebody like Dreamy?
And then Dreamy goes down, gets seven, and you get banged.
It makes you have to play aggressive on defense,
and you don't want to play aggressive this early in the game.
And of 150K on the line, 7-0.
Dream of the ball, and lead.
Take a look at the beautiful Madden Ball ring.
We pull hand down out at the end of the night.
One will take that home, and the bank account
will get a little more inflated.
I see the energy on and the chat curvy.
P-p-p-perfect.
Let's go, boys.
Get the energy up.
To the right of the left, though.
We're seeing a little right for L.A. and Drini.
Looks that flat-rout it is.
Devon has for, and has to pick some.
A couple, 31.
It's just, it's impressive what Drini does every year.
He really is the top five defensive player every year.
He always gets stops, and it always says
to just come down as his offense good enough.
And that's the thing about it.
We know he's going to make the defensive plays open
and drive able to start 88.
Can he go down and just keep that momentum,
keep scoring?
Because one thing about it, you hit it right on the head.
If Dreamy is going to be scoring offensively,
he's impossible to beat.
And that's a beaten right there.
Five sketch.
That's a beaten to five, five.
What's up, brothers?
First down, Dreamy.
The thing about that sketch part
and why he won that route so good,
if you guys didn't know at home, he
is Rocky slot automatic on his sketch wide receiver.
So if you guys cannot beat man and man covers
playing this game at home, put down
a slot automatic on your wide receivers
that play in the slide and see what happens.
Second down, looks left side, initial with the catch.
Shakes off a tackle, but there comes London Fletcher.
He's going to lose five on the play.
He broke too many tackles.
Yeah, just bad animations, man.
Sometimes I'm just wishing it would go down.
Now he can go with a big third nine.
Holy expect Drainie to take a turn on this one.
He's going to look better than him.
He's in the shotgun.
Two time belt winner looking to add a ring to his name.
A second Madden ball, title number one.
The Madden 19 ball.
Delay a game and I'm gonna tell you why because mr. Football 88 changes defense and dreamy was trying to get his
Untarget and part of the target feature happening
He couldn't get it off in time and it's and he took a delay
Instead of a 39 you got a third in Jumanji. Good job by mr. Football 88 changing changing another defensive look
To the right side section Marshall flock and sketch on the right side of that formation
Devin Hester to the left, Keaton Mitchell to the backfield.
Motion sketch back to pass.
It's a wheel route to the halfback.
What a catch by Keaton Mitchell.
But fourth and five, and he's going to hurry back to line.
No model, so Mr. Football 88 cannot set a pit zone drop.
Crowd getting loud.
Those thunders sticks are rumbling.
Here's San Francisco's sketch.
Now moves back to the formation, now moves across to the formation, a little man is getting a cardio workout behind the line of scrimmage.
L-Way drops back, pressure going right, he's got him, it's Keith Mitchell to the 30, 25, and he'll sit down at the 25-yard line.
And you already see the clock management from the two-time belt winner.
win a great throw great find because on that fourth down 88 got stopped he had a
out-of-pocket inaccurate but on that pass for Drini right on the money
left side
picks up three that should take us to the two-minute warning quick first half
and if you were gonna say how a game plan goes this feels like it fits right
into what draining wanted to do this is a dream I mean you're gonna see
He had been a bad you're going to see him slow the game down as he's doing right now user and he does he's just going to take this whole clock with him hopefully absolutely for 88 you know you're playing and you're like man I've had one draft one drive this whole game and that's the way
He's taking full control of this game because he understands 88 gets the ball ahead whether he goes in up a field go to up
Two touchdowns 14 or 10. That's the mindset from right here. 88 is not gonna touch this ball
Except eight another timeout taken by 88 if during he can somehow get a first down here without getting into the end zone
He will not touch the ball 88 will not get this ball again
I think they know 250K is getting handed out to a winner.
Skimbo, you play a lot of games with Thundersticks in the background.
Second three.
Going to go under center.
He'll hand it.
Keaton Mitchell's got the edge.
Mitchell fights for first down.
Hey, if you're a greenie fan, user, you love that first down.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Beautiful gets the first down, now 88 out of timeouts.
Going to push this to at least a third down,
touchdown, try to take as much time as you can.
User, they have a lot of thunderstakes back in the block
bus for championship days.
Unfortunately, they did.
That's a new invention.
I thought we're going gold on them.
Go to go QB sneak.
I thought he was going to roll into the end zone.
I can touch down to the one you are lying.
Let me ask you a question.
Here's my question for you.
If you're 88, are you trying to let him score?
Absolutely.
You are.
Absolutely.
OK.
Because he going to get 7 anyway.
In my opinion, he going to get 7 anyway.
Nope, he gets stopped.
Third and gold.
Now how you feel it?
Still the same way, because understand this, right?
Whatever he does, if I let him score quick,
I'm able to counter that with the time.
Whether it's a fielder or a touchdown,
if I let him score early, I'm able to make a play.
There's goal line, half-back, toss.
It's Keith Mitchell.
Keith Mitchell has no room.
Look at that pressure by the fouls.
Crock stops.
Wow.
What's crazy about that.
Dreamy realized during the play,
he wasn't going to score a touchdown.
So you saw him air to the right with his left stick,
but the defenders pushed him out of bounds.
Mr. Football 88 is going to get a chance to score points
there before half.
People do not understand how major that animation was.
You can see Dreamy's face.
He's sick about it.
That animation right there could cost him
his whole clock management, his scheme in the first half,
playing in the peckable first half,
and one play, one animation can change everything.
And you see Dreamy's face.
It's not because he's gonna score.
His face is because he knows he ain't gonna get a chance.
However, and he also has a chance to throw a kick.
This is true.
Because you already know, Skip, though, what I'm saying.
What I'm saying, Skip.
Go ahead, take it away, usually.
You can't win a game beforehand,
but you can damn sure lose it.
And right here, that's what you're wondering about.
ADA taking the loop once again on this free play.
He know he can't score.
Time to cut back in.
And Mitchell just fighting, pushes him out of bounds.
3D knows that it's major.
Because it's real easy to get 3 right here for ADA,
even though he does not have any timeouts.
We're going to work with Jaylen Melrose and the shotgun.
He throws the plex drop and that's a great drop.
I mean, he's going to get what one or two yards and it's going to take up 15 seconds.
He's not mad that he dropped that pass.
I promise you.
And just for people at home to know he can kick the field goal.
All he has to do is get to the 50 yard line.
And he's going to find Jeremy Schottky on the right sidelines.
He said he needed to get to the 50, he's at the 45.
He's past the 50 yard line.
Oh, hurry back.
31 seconds and counting looks like he's gonna clock this.
There's no room.
If I'm exit, if I'm 88, I don't know if I'm thinking,
do I really want to try to go get a touchdown here?
Or am I trying to get more yards to make this field
go a little bit easier?
And this is what happened with him yesterday with him.
Just, you know, somehow he kept hanging around.
Drenny putting together a master of the first half.
One animation caused Drenny his whole scheme
that he put together the first half.
Now, 88's already in field goal range.
88, even if he kicks three, he gets the ball in half.
Now we got a top ball game.
We saw this yesterday with Henry.
88 clutching up in overtime.
Nelrow back to pass.
Pressure off the left side.
Just gets driven.
He'll be incomplete.
How about the pressure being brought by Drini
showing his defensive chops?
Hey, once again, though, that's a good incompletion.
Drini had defenders over there.
He might have been tackled in vows.
Shotgun for Mildrow, 88 each points cut into this 10-0 lead, semi-final number one.
Here from the Bay Area, third and ten.
Mildrow back to pass, pressure picked up briefly, but he's under arrest.
He'll throw it late, he's caught up, Jerry Shotky, out of bounds.
First down opportunity to get a depth cap.
Okay, so now if you're Mr. Football 88, you've got to realize something.
Even if I get a big play for 10 or 15 yards, can I spike the ball?
Or is, are we going to go into half-time?
He has to do all the numbers.
Everything right now is a touchdown
around the bounds.
I've got to be a corner out for the sideline.
Scream that!
Just gets rid of the fine Marshall's fault.
How about the heat drop by draining?
Hey, I'm going to say it.
One sack, one tackle in bounds.
This half will be over.
14 seconds left on the first half.
And she'll be left side.
And they go back to pass.
And they throw this one away, leaving 10 seconds on the clock, 37.
You know how bad it is right there.
If that was a potential grounding, do they take 10 seconds off that clock right there?
It's a dice roll.
Sometimes I'd say the original.
I could have been over on that pass.
That is very true.
Maybe they...
It's like, what are you even looking really completely past there?
putting that table right out there to make sure he does not get an attention
to ground. He's going to kick the field ball right here. Not even think about it.
And you think about it. Dreeny played a phenomenal first half. He played
phenomenal. Like you think about, okay, and 88 against the ball and half,
scores. Easy field goal. It's up as good. Now Dreeny in the situation, even though
you played it in the second ball, you only got one possession and 88 has the ball.
3 seconds left on the block.
Imagine you'll probably see someone play here.
Yeah, I'm going to say something real quick about 88 on that billboard.
88 is nervous.
If you watch that billboard.
He took a second to kick that one.
The left stick was going left and right.
He didn't kick it really in the middle.
And it wasn't a good bar.
I saw a little bit of nerves by Mr. Football 88 on that kick.
Can you blame him?
He could wear 250K tonight.
The first time all tournament.
He's been unbelievable all tournament.
That's the first time I can say that about him.
We'll be a handoff.
It's Marshall Faulk.
Got some blocks.
Let's get outside.
But we will hit half time.
10-3 defensive battle early.
Dreamy.
The two-time belt winner of the 2019
old champion on top, but still 10 minutes of game time to go.
Just about the second half.
It will be 88 opportunity to tie this game up.
It's no good ball to start the second half.
The kick is away.
That will go through the back of the end zone.
And we will hit halftime here from San Francisco, Redwood
City, California.
One half down, 10-3.
Dreaming with the lead, still plenty of time.
As we looked crowned a Madden Bowl champion,
tickling some highlights in the first half,
it was an early strike from Dreamy,
finding Kevin Hester, shaking bait for six,
a smile from the two-time belt winner.
As Dreamy takes the lead,
couple field goals, real defensive early.
And we had the second half of action.
Crowd is electric.
Boys, this is an atmosphere out here.
Absolutely.
And Skin, you thinking about it, going in in this half.
Who has the most fresh home of Brene playing in the Pekka Bar
half, but that one play really threw up its whole strategy
and scheme out the window.
ADA has all the pressure on him.
Ernie's a defensive player of up 7 points.
Ernie loves the spot he's in right now.
Crowd ready.
I'm ready.
These guys get ready to go for the second half.
A lot of discussion going on up there.
Which shadows are MCS admin team?
If I want to put one on over there.
You want me to go up there?
Yeah, go ahead.
I'll go up there and ask.
Looks like they're ready.
Let's have a little chat.
Come on, figure out where they're going to dinner.
Excited for the concert tonight.
As we get the second half underway, huge drive for 88.
You know, shout out to exceptions.
Chow, Norm, some of the best admins in the game.
They're unbelievable.
Some of the best admins in the game.
They're unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
You need to get them a little bit easier, though.
This Marshall Fock gets popped.
He finds the room on the outside.
He'll pick up two.
Second down to eight.
In the shotgun, 488 down by seven.
I love that first as Millrow back to pass pressure on the left side.
Jump throw.
Manly can't make the catch.
Big shout out to everybody in the chat.
Yo, we got some questions for the legend, Melvin.
Throw them in the chat.
We'll be reading those out throughout this half of action.
A huge fourth down here, fourth and eighth.
Huge fourth down.
Melvin, are you used to seeing stuff like this?
People going for it on fourth down from their own 22.
Oh, yeah, me.
Yeah, we using all those four down.
No one wants to matter, right?
Hey, no, you can't.
You can't.
You got to utilize all that.
We're all damn gamble out here.
Hey, man, you got to do what you got to do.
If you feel like you can go get it, then go get it.
Be a major player and look back at the end of this game.
Four down and eight.
Punch over the left side.
Now we're back to pass.
Pressure picked up briefly.
Gets rid of it.
In the play.
Oh, my God.
We're going to get a swag.
We got DPI.
He's an affair.
That's tough.
In a medieval game.
That's a tough call right there.
They never play that game.
That's a failout.
That's a bill. That's a bill.
What was the last GPI you saw in a competitive man game?
That's a bill.
That might be the first one we've seen on tournament.
You know what? Sometimes, hey, sometimes you need that.
Sometimes you need that.
In my take on this, Mr. Football,
he's making some mistakes that he didn't make yesterday.
I was gonna ask you, would you be nervous playing for this amount of money?
Fifty-candle line in this game.
I mean, I mean, yes and no.
You know, these guys are experienced though.
You know, these guys have been here before.
My take with dream. I think he's really sound. I think he like we talked about yesterday. He got a
He takes with the defense give him. He does absolutely the thing about dreamy
as another
It doesn't it doesn't it doesn't feel like a lot of stuff's open for mr.
football. Yeah, but what dream does that a lot of pros don't do he will mix in the run in the past
Yes, not bad. It's a yes pass pass pass that guy 1990 in the chat asked melvin if you could play any other position
What would it be? Safety. You want to like in a box? I started as a safety. Okay. Yeah
Started as a safety. Now then what'd you spend your money on with your first NFL paycheck?
Um, what do I spend first? I got a car my friends were my teammates were making fun of my I had a charger
And like the the floor was like you could see like the ground from the floor and they were like hot floorboards
Like hey, I think it's time you get a new car. So I bought an arty arty r8 my dream car
So I'm gonna get that little left side first down picked up by 88 k4 go to 420 as melvin
What's your Mount Rushmore of wide receivers?
Was that how many how many we give you?
Calvin Johnson
Randy Moss
Calvin Johnson Randy Moss
Terrell Owens and Tony O'Brown.
I know it's going to throw you away.
That's a good point.
It gets the opponent to get thrown, Marky.
Last one from Volcanic asked, question.
Who was your hardest opponent you played against?
Individual player.
Honestly, Devin Smith, the linebacker, I want to say.
They had a game where they were just glistening us just back
to back to back to back to back.
And I was like, I didn't mind it, but I was like, dude,
I'm trying to try and catch the ball and get some rounds here.
Is that that Brian Flores game plan?
What if we just blitz to all this?
Let's hurry down.
OK, OK, good guy.
If you would have played safety, who would have been better?
You or Derwin at safety?
I think we all know the answer.
That's the problem with the family.
He breaks the tackle.
I think we all know.
Me and Derwin are boys, so I don't know if I can say that.
Oh, yeah, no, he's good.
That's my boy.
I mean he's one of those different guys man he just, I mean his talent was unreal.
Red zone opportunity for 88.
I don't know when you're like just run the ball man, you need a couple carries.
I mean, there's just a few and that's what I like about Dreaming man.
He kind of keeps, he kind of overflows.
I have another mistake right there.
I don't think in games like this is critical to make those mistakes.
I love my boy Mr. Football88.
I love this here for you.
You can't complain on this drive.
I'm going to tell you why.
You got that defensive passenger fare.
He's going to drive alive.
On a fourth down.
You shouldn't have the ball right now.
He really needs to get seven here because he's very blessed to still have the ball.
That's not a pick.
Are defensive style coming or not?
Is this me?
Red zones where it gets tough.
Second and 10 balls at the 16 yard line.
Millrow.
Rolls left.
Waiting.
Patience.
He's looking another miss from 88.
I don't want him to say a word, but I will say something about it.
Great job by just standing there before he crossed the line, found someone late.
But the thing about Dreamy, your first read is not open,
your second read is not open, your third read, nothing.
Ed Reed's not open yet.
Nothing's open for 88.
Dreamy is playing unbelievable.
Yeah, he's playing sound football.
He's playing sound football.
He's not making too many mistakes.
And that's the issue here for Miss Football.
He's going to give up underneath and make it a fourth down here.
Empty backfield.
Defense. They can give up anything. Fourth in.
Stingy D-88. Stingy. Stingy.
Go for the kick three here. I'll win.
I'm kicking three. You got to kick three.
Even in mad if you're kicking. You got to take the three.
I mean, Dreamy's not really making too many mistakes.
So you got to get the points that you can get right now.
And then just hope you can get on defense and make a stop
and then get stuff back as well.
The only mistake I feel like Drenny's made this game was when he was trying to clock in the first half,
and he's trying to stay in bounds. You know how the running backs be trying to break all them tackles, dog?
Yeah, I think he was looking for the pitch outside, and he played it, and he played it well,
Miss Football played it well, but me, I'm just thinking, get the points. Get the points, and then
trust your defense. You're playing well on defense. You're playing sound, you're just helping the three,
Go 14 and just hold them.
Well, in a tournament where the average points have been
somewhere around 90 combined, we have a defensive battle
on our hands, only 16 points.
The score goes for our dreamy up 10-6,
face a 5 on the ground.
I say, I've said it the last couple of days,
the nerdy stuff in Madden, look how they always
run the ball from right to left.
They just seem like they just have better blocking,
they just get out of there.
Elway rolls right.
Look back across his body there he is.
It's sketch.
Oh my goodness.
20, stop it.
Yeah, he's trying to put him off.
Kick top.
Got to take his dinner.
Hey, hey, he's just, hey man.
I don't even know how I should feel when I do stuff.
That's tough right there.
That's tough in the game in real life.
Let's say that.
He runs a lot of crossers though.
A lot of crossers, a lot of crossers.
He's making plays like that.
My goodness, he out there for the two-tribe, bell winner.
Mr. Football better come to play.
He better come to it.
He hit that.
It's getting dark.
I told Melvitt this yesterday.
He was actually in that and playing like it was real life.
He would love these shoes because they just get the running back involved.
How many times have you seen the running back beat the best player on the field?
That's who often I hear about.
Oh, so far.
It's just a past frenzy in a sense, and I get like that too in the game.
Look at this deadline.
Ready?
He says, see?
Look at that.
Nasty word.
Am I not mistaken, is that what a five-yard rowdy just heard?
That's what I'm saying.
And he just takes with the defense.
Give him up.
I've been saying it.
That's been this year's maddened.
They take his flat routes and these running backs just are so explosive.
10 from Mirwell, he drives back,
Olds last 88, leading a score.
Good play, good play, oh wow.
Great play, but can you live like that?
First reason not open, second reason not open.
Broken play, can you live like that?
But right now, that's what he's giving you, you gotta take it.
Please go to this first down play.
We got Masters standing by with the former Maddenball champion.
I'm pleased to be joined here with Dez, one of the best young gamers and madder right now amongst the many great Madden players that we have in the crowd right now.
And Dez, you went on a great run this season, forced to fall in short to Dreamy in the quarterfinals.
24 hours later, how do you process that matchup?
Yeah, it's tough, you know, not having the result I wanted, but I'm proud of the way I played and I'm excited to watch the rest of this.
This is where I love.
You do a lot for us right now.
What have you thought about dreaming so far?
I think dreaming looks great.
Honestly, no offense.
I didn't think he looked that great on defense yesterday
versus me, but he looks amazing today versus 88
for putting the pressure on him.
He has six points.
And how much pressure do you do with being on that stage
right now knowing what's up the grass?
You know, I think it's a lot beforehand.
But once you get up there, you end the game,
you realize, OK, it's just maddened.
It kind of goes away.
So pretty quickly, yeah.
And the food is proud of it.
Unbelievable, hasn't it, man?
It's been the best crowd.
I think I've been to eight lot of men's,
This is by far the best crowd it's ever been.
Let's keep this energy going, Nick.
Back to you.
They roll back to pass for 88 up, 3rd to 10.
He'll take off and take out a first down.
Got to keep the hopes and minimal title-wise.
Man, he is scratching and crawling.
It's a fighting.
He's fighting.
He's in a dog fight right now.
This dreamy defense is unbelievable.
And if I'm not mistaken, Dreamy has been a champion before.
Two-fifths.
And he's playing like it.
I'm gonna tell you that right now.
He's playing like it.
We consider him a seasoned vet.
He's playing like it.
He is playing like it.
He's actually a former Madden Bowl champion.
He won it back in Madden 19.
And I believe, is that game 42-0?
Well, I think he wants to be, you know,
he wants his title back and he's showing it right now.
Could be the final play of the third quarter.
Millwell looking.
He has a man!
Make it a game, make it a game, make it a game.
Get the people something to watch.
Make it a game, baby, make it a game.
Gotta go for the two right here.
You got you said love gotta go for the two.
Yeah, gotta go.
You're right, you're right, you gotta go for the two.
Gotta go for the two.
Get your style in case anything happens.
Get your what's your play call right here,
but what are you running?
I like mess.
I like message and I like something over the middle.
They do too.
Yeah.
Because they know it works.
They know it works.
He's actually got over to the ground game and spoke
and stood up the defense for three.
I'm not the biggest in real life now.
I do like my runflames at the goal line.
But for two, two point conversions,
like I said, I'm a mesh guy.
You try to protect the sidelines.
I like having a guy coming over to the middle
and then just trying to see what should get me there.
I think what happened there, 88, just always
Passes the ball for a two point aversion.
He thought he could catch greeny thinking
a pass was coming, but he was just right there to blow it up.
We take a look at this replay 88 on the board.
We've got five minutes left.
Four's up in the building.
Four's up in the check.
Five minutes from finding one part of our men in both final.
I tell you what, hey, the crowd is out here today.
I tell you what, the crowd is in it today.
17 to 12, wait.
Find the man, Joe!
There you go, Keaton!
There he goes!
There you go, Keaton!
Look at that man, Keaton!
Keaton makes it all the way to the front of the team yard line.
Come on, though.
I think he knows what he needs to do.
I think he found his formula to win this game here.
And I think he's sticking to it and it's looking like his number 34.
Why not give it back, Joe?
It's okay. I'm going to say this though.
Journey has to put away 88.
This is going a lot like Henry and 88.
88 was just kind of hanging on hanging on hanging on and won the game.
3 you got to go for the knockout right now.
Second nine under four to play splits.
Has to out wide left.
Back to pass rolling right.
He'll slide down on the right either throw it out or I will.
Skimbo looks disgusted that the slide was crazy, but I would have threw it out, but
You know what about yeah, there was no throw there though. He didn't want to that was a little panic right there
I think the the pressure got on him for the first time tonight
He's gonna run the ball thinking 88 past committing on this play check this out
We got Tony Romo Jr. just coming it out.
That's a great play call.
And I'll tell you why he did it, Melton.
There's a feature in a game called pass commit,
which means we're just selling out on the pass, right?
But if you run the ball and Matt and the defenders,
they react slower.
And that's exactly what Dreamy did.
He ran the ball in a third and 20 plus, 88.
Pass committed, great call by Dreamy.
But my thing is, if you game plan and you play his name
you know it and you know that can be a possible factor. Why don't you take a
linebacker and spy on the running back yourself just in case that happens.
That's what I would do. Take a look one more time. Look at Keaton Mitchell looking like Sonic the Hedgehog.
That's what I would do. I wouldn't get myself in that situation. I would get a
linebacker and control that so that does not happen. Fourth and lone? No, it's not
happening. You're not gonna give me like that. Don't forget coming up next second
semi-final David T and Astro in action.
You're not gonna want to miss that.
24 to 12, Grinning on top still.
Lots of time, lost three minutes and counting.
Up the save!
Pick dogs!
You can earn that card today!
That's a classical burst you get for just hanging out here.
And he might have made a $50,000 interception.
This boy's really looking good right now though.
I told you, it's the uniforms.
He knew what to do.
It's the uniforms, baby, it's the uniforms.
It's the uniforms.
It's the uniforms, man.
I told you I liked him yesterday.
He wasn't good yesterday, but I did like him
because he was with the Broncos.
But he's just playing.
I mean, his defense is standard.
You kind of knew eventually he was going to get a pick,
but you know, it's after Michigan football, man.
He got to turn it up.
The biggest thing I'm taking away from this game,
throwing that take, taking us away now.
Look at this one more time.
That obstacle burns.
That you are earning for watching today.
He's made some big plays.
None bigger than that one for Drini Joka.
What a swish stick.
Great swish stick.
What this shows me about Drini, just how prepared he is.
Yes, sir.
Shout out to Drini for the preparation.
Shout out to everyone in his crew
that helps him get ready for this moment's practice.
I wish I could shout you out if I knew everyone in that crew.
I can't, but just know you guys have a lot to do
with his success right now.
Shout out to squad, man.
Yeah, boys put together a good game plan to get my man right today.
I mean, it's getting better than anybody.
This is an individual sport, but there's a team aspect with your crew, with who you
love it. Oh yeah, absolutely.
And it's always been like that and matter for years.
Ask you later about it.
So it's in three though.
88 gets a stop.
This game falls from over in the shotgun is Elway.
He gets the first hit.
Pressure.
Oh, we gotta stop.
This game's not over yet.
They'll play Mr. Pitball.
Eskimo in the back.
They'll play, baby.
Ask Melvin, what player had you the most starstruck
when he started your NFL career?
The most starstruck.
Calvin Johnson.
That was my first game.
Megatron.
That was my favorite receiver.
So me playing against him in the first game, I mean,
I mean, that was unreal to me.
No one back to pass.
Steps up.
And those clothes from the white several to dress as who's your favorite running back to mentor my furra my favorite running back to mentor
It had been Javante Williams
That was that was that was my first that was my first rookie running back
I really had me and Austin Echler was both young at the time and
So I was still learning while Austin was learning but Javante Williams. I kind of had the game understood him and Keaton
Honestly, Keaton is one of my favorites, too
really good and it's kind of it's kind of crazy that he's in this game going
crazy right now. J.B. asked Melbourne if there's one head coach you could have
played under he would have been. Sean McVay. I think that's who I really want
to play. I like Andy Reed I got to play under him. I'm talking about I mean he
was just unbelievable but Sean McVay was a coach that you know I always wanted to
make my way to just really didn't have a chance to get there unfortunately. 39
pressure off the middle.
Hit as he throws.
Hit it to air.
Re-with the interception.
And y'all can go find a baby and go kiss it.
The game is over.
The game is over, fellas.
Go kiss the baby.
That's what we call it.
The game is over.
And you see a rise smile from Trini Joka.
Skimbo, we know how hard he's worked to get back here.
I don't know how to keep it.
It's been a rough couple of years for him
to get back to this point.
Yeah, it has.
Look at this defense.
pressure coming right through the A gap and he just picked it off easy but I
just got to say I'm just thinking about this game that just went down and I
don't think you really made a mistake about it on it.
No.
Like I said, and here he goes again.
I mean just great calls after great calls and even the run.
There it is.
We've got our first Madden Ball finalist.
Congrats.
Really chose to take down Mr. Football ADA.
Congrats.
And he will compete for the ring.
The two-time belt winner, the man in 19-ball champion,
getting a well-deserved cheer for a crowd here in Redwood City.
That's great right there. That's good football right there.
I think one mistake, maybe. At the beginning, I think one mistake, but it was just at the end of half.
That was it. It really wasn't his full football.
Yeah, clean football for the most part. I don't think he really made a mistake.
Most complete game he's played all tournament.
tournament and if he keeps that up next round they got to be ready to talk they better be ready.
Coming up next our second semifinal as we take a look back heading into break at these two
Astro and David T who faced off at Zero Chill.
In the quarterfinals it is David T one of the most prolific offensive players in the game it is Astro.
There he goes, running away.
Staking a break, there goes Josh Jacobs to the end zone.
Touchdown, David.
Allen rolling right.
He's taking the shot.
Does he have him?
No, no, no!
Moron!
Touchdown, David!
We got ourselves a 50-burner.
David T with the win.
Good job, man.
You played a great game in the last one.
A zero of shield.
But, yeah, I need my rip, bro.
You already played me once.
He's gonna see me again. He knows your happy lesson.
David, it's Gawaius!
It is your zero-chill challenge champion!
Hold up that self, young man!
$30.
Once Once one.
This is the one we've been waiting for.
Seahawks.
Mike Rable and Drake May, who some say have had an easy road here.
They will face a tough test against a high-scoring Seattle squad.
Ready, set.
They'll run here, Walker, first down and more.
Throwing to open it up.
Touchdown, Seahawks.
Two quick touchdown strikes, and Darnold is in command here early.
The Hats offense just out of sync.
They'll get on the board here, heading into the half.
Seattle's identity on offense all season long, like they're efficient and
they're explosive.
But hey, the Patriots are certainly still in this.
They're gonna go into halftime and they've got to identify some adjustments to slow
down Sam Garnold in this Seahawks offense.
On play action, here's May.
Touchdown.
Absolute time, that's exactly the spark this Patriots offense meet.
And the Patriots are gonna recover, and this is a touchdown!
I think it's safe to say, Mike, that those half-time adjustments have been made.
Patriots offense, they've done all they could. They'll be forced to pun it away.
Can they get one more stop?
That return changes the map.
at, inching closer to the end zone.
Mike McDonald is doubling down.
He's saying, we have a chance to win the Super Bowl right now.
Every Seahawks fan, they're having deja vu.
They've seen this moment before.
You're a few yards, Mike, from deciding everything.
This final play can make you a legend or haunt you forever.
And
this is going to be a touchdown.
The Seattle Seahawks are a Super Bowl champion.
One of the finish.

Earlier today, Nick was able to interview our other two semifinals,
Astro and David, before the game.
David, we're finally here for Crown of the Champion today.
How do you feel going into the semifinals?
I feel great.
I feel like I'm the hottest player in the world right now, and it's got to keep it going.
I feel great. I feel prepared and I'm sorry for the moment.
You got a really tough opponent in the semifinal matchup.
How do you feel your game plan will translate into this game?
I feel good about it.
Stros is a great player. He's one of the best players this year.
I'm sure he's trying to get his get back from the last event we played,
you know, at the 0-2 event, so he's going to make sure,
you know, and I get to do that.
Yeah, you know, David, you know, he's my last lineman at loss.
You know, he ended up winning the belt off of it.
You know, in Man 22, I was in a pretty similar situation.
He feels like the exact same situation where I was playing the,
the last bell winner in the final four of Madden Bowl.
Last time I lost and now this time I'm looking to turn it around.
Welcome back in the studio here.
And we already have one finalist in the Madden Bowl final.
And we defeated Mr. Football 88 in our first semi-final.
That's what you're doing here alongside the legend,
Melvin Gordon, and the MCS legend, Skimbo.
in front of some amazing crowd right here.
Who's about to win this?
Some MCF system, but let's take a look at the bracket now
to see how attorney takes out.
And as we mentioned, Skimbo, Trini is already in,
and he looks like a man on a mission.
I was just saying, I thought Trini played a perfect game.
I think there was one thing that didn't go his way.
I don't even think it was his fault,
clocking at the end of the first half.
That was the best game Trini's played all tournament.
He was defensively locked in in Melbourne, man.
It didn't look like there was any sort of room
for any sort of mistakes that you made there.
Yeah, I thought he was pretty sound.
I mean, he's pretty clean on offensively and defensively.
Like I said, he's really serious,
really sticking with what he did defensively,
and he took what he gave him,
but he kind of kept him off balance,
and like I said, he made no mistakes,
and that kind of hurt Mr. football.
And it's incredible to see what amazing cards
that we've seen so far here in Madden Bowl,
and it's time to go over some of these butt drops,
and we're gonna focus in on the NSE champions.
Got to see how Seahawks fans in the building.
I ain't that many.
I know a couple of them out on the air though.
But 12's in the building, we'll start off with
our Maddenbow Sim, thanks.
This person will be the Super Bowl MVP,
quarterback Sam Darnold,
95 overall skimbo.
Look at this card, what do you like?
I think it's just shocking the career that Sam Darnold has had, right?
The fact that he has a 95 overall month card
is insane to me.
But this card, just knowing how abilities work
and looking at his stats in that Seattle team team,
Definitely one of the best quarterbacks in the game.
Look at that speed, too.
Uh-huh.
You think he's not that fast?
We don't see him really much, but you know.
Who's the rough ass right now?
You and him.
Oh, I got Sam.
I'm sure you got him.
Why is that the first thing you notice with the speed on Sam?
Why don't you got to call that out, though?
Because it's the first thing you want to know.
We keep it put in here and the quarterback, of course,
needs a great offensive line to be successful.
And we focus him on the center.
95 overall Jalen Sundell skimbo, which is about this card. Well me and Melvin
We're just talking about the Super Bowl who's gonna win. He always says the trenches, right?
How do you feel about this big boy at center? Hey, man, you only as good as your line, you know, man
And if you got somebody that protects you up front really do that open up the lines for you
Can't lose run the ball and keep it on you skimbo. This is a good car for our fans over there and chat and grab
It's a great card. I mean all these cards are great. I mean, this is why you play blood
You got it's called mutt for a reason baby
if you want the best team possible.
You want to make sure you keep watching
because we're going to be giving these cards away
all day long in the chat.
Let us know which ones you guys like so far.
We're going to switch over to the defensive side
and we're going to focus in on linebacker Drake Thomas,
95 overall skimbo.
That was a madden.
I'm really not a big fan of linebackers.
I'm a kind of guy that wants to put a safety like Derwent
James in the box.
However, this card is very good because you can get abilities
like Lurk Artist, which makes them animate and jump
for the ball.
So because of all that, Mike, our Drake Thomas must have card.
Remember those days, he's called Moneybackers.
Remember, they're the sacred girls in class.
They do that still in Madden as well.
Last but not least, Nick and Mandy Warate,
this incredible secondary, which actually, he's
been taken off the designation list.
He's going to be ready to go for the Super Bowl,
could be a sleeper in terms of Super Bowl MVP,
and he's a monster to skimbo.
This card right here has been good all year in Madden.
And it's just going to be no difference.
I always talk about the threshold to Madden.
If you look really close, he has that 97 zone coverage.
You know I love that, because it gets the 0 AP knockouts.
I mean, he's going to be flying around.
That car looks incredible.
It's a dog, man.
You can put him anywhere on the field.
He's going to make some plays in the middle.
That's how you do it.
That is how he does it.
Again, we're going to be giving away these cars
all day long.
Skimbo, we're going to get you in the casters here
for a quick minute as we chat a little bit more here, Melvin,
about Astro.
I mean, again, every game has been closed,
but Astro, yes, they're beating down.
John B.
We got some Astro fans in the building here.
He is one game away from making it to the final
and taking on Dreamy, and that was the most dominant
performance we have seen so far in this tournament.
When you were watching that, I'm sure you were just amazed
to see the, I mean, he was the number two seed that he was
able to beat in John B. He crushed it and killed it,
and now we'll see what he's able to do against David Teeber.
What did you see from that game?
From Astro.
Man, I thought he's pretty good.
I mean, honestly, the best user stick work
that I've seen being here today, I mean,
offensively, he was just kind of, he just kind of,
you have to play defensively.
You have to play well to stop him.
Let's just say that.
I mean, his users is kind of crazy.
Like I said, the best I've seen,
and I'm excited to see him go up.
I didn't get to see David much,
but I had a conversation with him back there,
and he sounded like he ready to go and be thrown him.
And, uh, man, she just see it, man.
Yeah, it's gonna be a great one between him and Astro and David.
But before we get that center line final started, Nick,
we go between the sticks.
Thank you, master.
And we've got some of the masters of the game right here.
I'm a skimbo and one great user.
Gentlemen, we're gonna break down some plays,
make the people at home a little better.
We're gonna talk run game, which I know is weird,
because it feels like this has been such a pass-heavy game.
But, user, this is one of those plays
that we're using a new feature in the game
with that untarget defender.
and me being one of the greatest totals of all time.
You know, I love this right here.
Between the sticks features,
let me show you first of all what we're talking about.
That was crazy.
That was crazy, South High Five.
That was, I got my-
That's fine, that's fine.
I know you would never give it to me.
No.
I mean, sometimes you gotta pat yourself on the back.
And this right here is for all my totals.
Yes, you see everybody out here throwing dots,
but right here between the stick skimp,
let's go and bring up the play.
We're gonna show you what we're talking about
when it comes to that untarget figure,
untarget feature.
Already you can see the DB lit up on fire skimp.
perfectly said. So what these dudes are doing, they're on targeting defenders and
it's really a lot of people use it for the past but if you use it for the run
watch what happens. Hester when you roll the tape, he's not even going to look at
the corner on the right after we untarget that corner deep out there.
And how you untarget is pressing that L1 and then you're gonna hold triangle to
select and we're gonna pause right here and as you see that untarget feature
allow that receiver to come and make the touchdown saving block.
When you untarget that DB, you say, hey, don't even worry about that guy over here.
And then you get a hat on the hat.
Hester coming to make the block, the major block, to go down and score.
And that right there is an untarget feature.
Once again, you do that by holding L1, select triangle, and then you select who you want to untarget.
You'll see a little flame emoji on top of the DB.
You just see him the journey that Hester had on that play, because he really is supposed to block the guy on the far right.
But running the ball up the middle,
you really don't want to touch a corner that's
outside the numbers.
And seeing again his journey was really special,
because that's what led to the touchdown.
That last block on his safety.
And we know David, he's got here.
He's one step away from the finals.
Are we going to see him use this feature a lot today?
You're going to see it a lot.
And you should be trying this at home,
on targeting defenders on your run plays.
Something that doesn't get talked about enough
in this community.
If you guys are one of those people like user,
one of the best runners of Madden history,
You're going to need to use that feature.
I mean, you could have just go ahead and tell them.
Go ahead.
I'm a toaster.
Let them know.
That was crazy.
I felt like that was a little bit of play, Katie.
That's okay.
We got to give the user a shine.
We're done teaching.
You guys want to get to the semifinal?
What do you think?
You want to hand out another 50k?
You want to fill our final.
It's time to get to semifinal number two.
Astro.
He takes down the top two seeds.
Astro is on to the semifinal.
It's the ball!
David T. with the $45,000 stop!
This is my third Madden Bowl.
My first time making the Final Four and wanted to go back to back in two games away.
David, congrats on the Final Four.
Today, I'm gonna have to get my revenge. I'm gonna have to do what I do.
Almost at the top of this hill, we just gotta finish the climb.
It's my time. I'm coming for the ring.
Let's walk into the stage of our semi-final and starting off with a man
who found a way to tame the beast along with the stage, Astro!
One of the best offensive players in the game
He has a tall task ahead of him.
As we got to keep it going in here for his opponent,
Long Island's finest.
Welcome to stage, David T.
The
Dreamy weights in the wings
$50,000 on the line here in our second semi-final
final as we get ready to go. In 20 minutes of game time, gentlemen, we will know our
Madden Bowl final all year working to this. And right now, user, you have said repeatedly,
David T is playing the best Madden of anybody right now.
Absolutely. His offense is high-powered. But I'm going to tell you, on the other hand,
it's this Astro. He's just as high-powered offensively as David T. This is going to be
a hot score matchup.
That's what I'm expecting to see.
What about you, Skim?
A little bit of a flu game for Astro.
It is a flu game.
I think highly of both of these players.
I will say this about Astro.
When Astro's at his feet, playing his absolute best.
I actually think he's probably the best matter player in the world.
But we've seen him on the stage where he does not always have great games.
When they're back inside, USA and Stale have fireworks off the open
and kickoff as David T goes to work.
Skim will talk to you about this, Devin Hester.
He has been critical for every player out here in the Bay.
He's been the best wide receiver so far in this tournament,
so far this year.
The speed that he has with the movement,
and he can go up there and catch some aggressive catches.
But the thing that makes him special, he has that 0-AP.
They're, like, slo-slo-nomadic, or route-back.
So he's gonna get it. He's gonna kill ma'am.
Defensively, user, the Legion of Boom,
lamb man, thank you, Cam.
Cam Chancellor, man, you already know delivering the boom.
That's the best safety in the game right now.
That way, he finds Plackskill Burst, which reset our playbooks.
David T. Rock in Saints on offense.
Astral Rocking, who's Chiefs offensive playbook.
It's like we're talking about these dudes really love this gun,
much tied in weak.
It's a new formation put in the map, and gee, they're in the year.
And there's Camp Chancellor.
What's in that?
Look at that.
It's a highlight of the record.
The eighther of 16 yards, that's really a first in 10.
David T goes to work.
Put that bunch over the right side, Jeremy Shocking.
Looking good in those Giants units.
And off to fall.
That has been David T's bread and butter run play that
outside zone. We saw him score a couple times that yesterday.
Right to left and I hardly ever do this.
Shout out to my boys over there at EA that make the game
and update the game because this play,
because this formation that they added in this matter
has become meta and it was not in the game
when this game first thought released.
There's Hester again cutting up field
picked up a first down.
When I say that formation, the gun launched tight end week.
And I love how you gave EA the credit right there.
You know what I'm saying, that's bigger than you, man.
Real bigger than you, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Doug, take notes.
What?
L.A. Goose or, and here's that Marshall Fox
put out a backfield full wide on the right side.
L.A. back to pass.
Waiting.
Ruffus game, got it out.
Plyce, Nicole Burns.
Touchdown, gave it to you.
What have we seen all tournament long basically for the last two months skimo it's david tees
offense working the perfection he puts on a clinic every time he's on offense and it's
been like that since the zero chill he's only come down back down from earth or to earth
on that flat route against geesey that I switched it that's literally the only bad play david
that he's had this whole time.
Been playing phenomenally offensively,
and I'm expecting Astro to go right down here and score.
But David T. once again, take a look on this replay
with the crosser, the short post, easy dot right there
for Plexico.
Astro's going to have to play a little bit tighter defense.
You don't want him scoring so fast and so easily.
Well, I talked about at home, because you see a lot of people
struggling with Madden against Midblitz, which
is a man-to-man defense.
And right there, that basically covers your Oman.
And what David T. has on his wide receivers
Is that slot automatic?
Is that short and elite?
Is that route tech ability?
Make sure you guys are putting that on your wide receivers,
tied in, so you can win.
Astro on offense for the first time.
And he'll hand it off to Matt Forte.
How about this Justin Fields?
We talked about the cornerbacks that have been used.
He's been rocking Justin Fields all tournament long.
And how about the plaques on defense?
How do you know?
I should earn that one.
Make sure that EA counts late.
That 99-speed fly-still bird is 45.
I mean, that card looks disgusting right there.
With all the stats boosted.
Back to work.
Goes Astro, third down.
And 80.
Look at that.
They're only fourth down.
If you get on fourth down early on your first drive.
Your first fourth, ladies.
That's not good.
It's not good.
Justin Fields in the shotgun.
David T's pass committing on this play.
He knows a pass is coming.
He's got some room of field.
Can he get there?
That's the first item of the 45 to the 50.
Out of bounds with a 46 shot one.
Great way to combat the pass commit.
Has some mobility in quarterback.
If you've kept up with competitive Madden this year,
you know, Astro is probably the best in the world
at getting busy with his quarterback.
I mean, again, they had to put a patch in the game
because what he was doing was so ridiculous.
Because yeah, it can't move.
We look like a, can't get beat, can't move.
Skimbo, you ever get patched like that?
What?
You ever get patched like that?
I've been patched before, Tom, or two in my life.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
I still love my boys over there, but yeah.
Yeah, shout out to G.
7-0, David T. on top.
Field hit with a right pressure off the left side.
With spin move back the other way.
Shades of Caleb Williams.
Oh!
Most fine spoke data.
It was a wild boy.
But that's what I'm talking about.
He's a wild boy.
He's the best in the world at getting crazy with your quarterback
and getting that much time.
And he had a touchdown, but you can't make that throw.
That throw is like ridiculous.
Absolutely.
And that's the thing about it.
I love the way Astro is starting to loosen up.
That's what we know.
If he's going to play loose like that,
that's going to be a tough out for anybody.
Good playmaker going to take the scramble,
picks up the first.
He carries 31 yards already for Justin Fields.
Astro taking what the defense gives him.
I will say this, though.
A lot of these plays have been broken plays.
And there's another gap, too.
Shoot, that's a green.
David T is so prepared and again these plays that Astro are calling his first and second his his reads are not open
Well stuff of that. Well that now it's open. That's bad for Jay out of that
Sometimes you got to just simple the game down a little bit hit those running back flat routes get some momentum
And sometimes people don't understand how critical it is for David Tech David T to make those tackles on first down because we've seen plenty of times
You know, you're hitting that ball off to the left
14, Elzo, or an extra point away from the offside.
And you know, that's what they sometimes don't get at home, you know?
You're like, okay, Ash don't just run the ball previously.
Blow them up in the back for a loss of four yards.
And they're like, okay, he shouldn't run the ball no more.
David T throws the flat wrap, play right after, goes back to the run, Chuck play touchdown.
That's why they don't understand how important it is to make those tackles and to get those gaps you as you see right here in the replay
And you know what's crazy and this is what he did on this play. He's running the ball different
He's not going through that same gap. He wanted to bounce it off and also look at home
Now he's starting to untarget the fenders
He's actually starting to double team some people on the defensive line to make sure there's better block
Just get through that one
7 out of 10.
7-7.
Here in this $50,000 semifinal.
Let's start over to my man, Master, who's standing by with one of our only finalists right now.
Yeah, I'm here standing with Dreamy right now, who is in the Madden Bowl final in Dreamy.
We know that she can play some defense in this game, but that felt like it was a defensive point, it wasn't it?
Yeah, I mean I felt like my last game versus daddy showed me that I had to change up things a little bit
I mean, I ran 146 versus him. So I changed it up to the down 32 and hopefully down 32
It takes me to the promise lane
How has this run been for you so far? I've heard people been calling you washed all the way up and all stuff
Yeah, how have you been taking that motivation that energy to be once again mad and bold champions?
well, I mean people expect me to be great so these last couple years
I haven't made a final so I understand where you know I'm not wise but like you know
I haven't made a finals a long time in you know they expect me to be one of the goals
They expect me to have these up results, so I'm just happy to be here
You're clearly showing that you're not lost because they know such a big as that you've been balling for quite some time now
And you're gonna face the winner of Astro David. What do you think so far from these guys?
I feel like they're like total opposite players
I mean David Teese will win this little once tight in week and then audible around and then Astro
I felt like he wants to run the ball like and he's like a runner now and if I can stop the rumors
I feel good and then I think I play well versus pass and David he wants to pass so I think
As long as that can happen
It should be one incredible final greeny is already in the Madden Bowl final. We'll see who we faces Nick back over to you
Thank you master we hit second corner action still tied up
7 and 31. David to go into warrens from them and zero chill challenge champion of five blocks.
We got a fourth and three. Big fourth down going no muddle so Astro cannot set up his zone drops.
Astro is probably going to go cover zero on this play. Fourth down and three. Can Astro
going to stop. He'll split. Marshall Falk out of the backfield and a way back to pass pretty well
covered and Astro a stop man covered across the board. Covered zero man big fourth and three.
Everything was bagged and the thing is Astro was sitting on the on the free form pass lead.
David T. Wunder underneath. It was not open. Astro known for his offense with a huge defensive
Stop there.
Now first in 10, Astro back to work.
Not a lot of room off the middle.
Take a look one more time at the emotion.
It's a flu game for Astro, but he's still
finding a way to keep the energy up in this $50,000 game
at John Madden football over the middle.
It's Plascoverse, first down.
High level play right there by Astro.
Gray Swiss pick by David T. Astro saw that.
He clicked on the wide receiver, came down and caught it
using the aggressive catch feature.
First and 10, Astro back to work, drops back,
pressure immediately, rolling right with fields,
rolling left, spin move, and he'll throw this one away.
This man's a wild man out there.
Yeah, right there, I think.
You're trying to get a little too crazy.
I do.
You got that play in your playbook, got spin moves.
No, I don't play like that.
Just throw it away.
Yeah.
You just got to throw the ball away.
Seven seven our score field.
Just a beat.
Oh, Jeremy Shockey doing against his former team's unit
in first and goal.
I love how much the crowd's into it.
Everyone in the crowd actually was screaming for the street
because it was a touchdown, but he found the post.
It's not good when you got two of them open.
Fields.
Running back.
Waiting.
Good, good, good, good.
How about Justin Fields, patience from Astro?
And I'm thinking about it, how many times since David T, 1-0-2,
have we seen him behind in the game?
We haven't.
We haven't, right?
Because he's been playing phenomenal.
He's been playing perfect ball.
We've really seen him in this situation.
Now we're going to see what he's really made out of.
Because you know Astro is going to keep
pressure offensively. What's his mindset when he ends up playing up?
Nice return for Hester. What a play. Look at the patience from Astro. Waiting.
Thought he's gonna throw the half back. Gets the user to push back just enough to
find the end of a Justin Fields chat. How about we do a giveaway? Users, is it cool if I do a
giveaway? Let me see. Let me see. Let me check the energy in the chat. I want to give away Sam Donald.
I see everybody typing a lot of dumpies. A lot of dump trucks. We'll see, man.
Okay, well, why do we do this?
We need to send down to what we need.
You know what we're gonna do.
Gotta let us know why you want that sand on and why you deserve it.
We'll give it away to somebody at home as the defense for
Astro for the third 11.
I'm going to put out of the backfield empty backfield now for David.
You know we give me situations I started to try to this is where I feel like you really
You see the character.
That's a tough one.
Who are un-kicked by Plexiglas Burns?
Hey, you know what's crazy about that?
That's the card he made.
That's David T's card that just made that catch warm
at the biggest moment so far in this game.
I mean, right down Broad Street into traffic,
and Plexiglas Burns comes down with a massive reception.
This is where you really get to see the depth of the Matt
in the situation and David T is leading.
How does he manage the clock?
He doesn't get the ball to have.
This is when we start to see all the other intangibles
that make you a great man and player.
When the things are not going for you,
going for you in your favor right here,
two minute warning.
Now can David T put it together?
Can he manage this clock right to go in,
be tied a half and then somehow come up with a stop?
Just put Falk under the backfield,
empties it out for John.
Then we're going to go how long a famer.
Now we're going to work on media pressure and a slap right on the collect.
And there he goes.
That man blocks and goes first.
Hits him with a stop, go first down.
It's Kim Nets major, first and goal.
Astro hasn't used any of his timeouts so regardless, he will get this ball back
no matter what David T does.
Even if David T gets a touchdown, Astro is still in a great position
because he gets the ball that half
and he can match whatever debut he does right here.
Batman X, 2003, I would love that Sam Donald
called for my Niners, Team Team, one of my idols.
I don't know how I feel about Niners, Team Team and Sam Donald,
but hey, guess what, you're gonna take it home.
And Jeremy Shacky, five, the end zone.
Back and forth we go, a true heavyweight fight.
Here's a Thunderdome.
So we need to recognize that Asher of Defense
has been really good all tournament, right?
He's running something, no one else is running,
He's running a 6-1 look.
I believe David T. has finally found
the weakness to this defense.
He's doing a lot of motion outs and auto motions
because these linebackers are not running
with the running backs and the tight ends
to get out wide with those.
14, a piece under two to play.
That's very hands-free.
Rebels, he wobbles but he won't fall down.
Takes it out of bounds.
27 yard line taken with one more time.
the touchdown from David T. That snap throws in the flat.
It's just the auto motion.
And you can see Astro trying to switch thick
and get over there and play it.
But he just couldn't get their great call by David T.
Like I said, I really think he's starting
to find a weakness in this defense.
14 a piece.
Second and three in trouble.
It's the reverse.
Oh!
The doubles!
He's got me shacking this man out here, putting on a clinic.
I said it earlier, he's been the best madden player in the world all year.
I'm getting busy with your quarterback on passing plays.
I couldn't tell if that was Justin Fields out there, Alan Iverson, circa 2000.
He throws it right side, it's that Hester again.
I think we got a lot of energy and a chance.
We take a quick look at this replay,
but if you're looking for that Jalen Sundale,
let me see your best comment that can get you this Jalen Sundale.
Let me see what type of energy y'all got in the chat right now.
37 seconds left in the first half.
We are no closer to finding out who's going to take Andrini
in the Man of Wolf Islands.
There goes that man again, there goes that man again.
There he goes!
Highlight real!
Left, right, center, touchdown!
That boy different.
That boy different, man.
That boy different.
It's like the way he's playing, he's playing like he's playing online in the last game.
He's so loose, and that's the astro we used to see it.
When he's playing like this, he almost looks unbeatable.
everything looks like a highlight tick tock and it's gonna be tough to beat him.
I know our social team here is loving having Astro here in the 70 finals up.
Clip, clip, clip.
Take a look one more time.
Once again, putting out more highlights than a hair salon.
There he goes, down the field as Plexioburx.
Who's gonna throw for the highlight?
He knows it's a highlight if he throws it.
He's going to throw that.
I swear he's going to throw it no matter what.
That's right, John.
That way, steps out of bounds.
Well, David T is already four yards from the goal.
Just like that.
That's all three timeouts.
He can hit any part of the field he needs to.
Right.
Second yard.
Running back.
The middle.
Highs angle.
It's falling.
Uh-oh.
Oh, look at Marshall's fault go taking down near the red zone.
Here we go.
You got one player right here.
What's the play call, Scott?
Probably a seamstree for a deep corner.
RCP, you're going to take that.
How about the giveaway?
Usually you trigger this giveaway.
RCP is taking home.
Seattle team team.
Six seconds, five seconds.
Throws it up.
That's a goal.
He throws a pick.
Oh, man.
What a mistake, something we haven't seen from David Tina's whole tournament.
And that's what we talked about, Skim.
We haven't seen him in this position really since Zero Chill.
Now, can you fight through adversity?
We're wondering, is he built?
Can he do things like Dreamy, like Henry?
Cuz this is the moment you gotta show, hey,
you can't make these simple mistakes.
It's too much on the line.
You look at the replay, he knows that's gonna hurt him.
Astro gets this ball a half, down seven.
What a first half of action.
Are we having fun, ladies and gentlemen?
Oh!
21-14 to score.
Astro putting on an absolute clinic early.
Yeah, we know David T's, he's the comeback kid.
Down seven playing time.
We need 10 minutes from finding out
Who takes off the in our Madden Bowl final take a look at some first half
highlights David T starting off strong find a plastic over you're gonna hear
plastic burrs his name a couple times it was seven nothing early then Matt's
14 gets going right up the middle absolutely as you see right here
Astro being patient trusting the run game no you got to stay balanced in right
here everything's covered David T switching he says forgetting I got
Justin Fields, I'mma use the wheels, runs it in for a touchdown.
The biggest takeaway from this half of me though is Astros play with this quarterback, not really
passin' the ball. Just he saw the play on the touchdown and just buy in time with this quarterback.
It's been a lead level stuff.
Ten minutes to go.
That's, that's a crazy...
Robert Crack!
Robert Crack closer, that's crazy.
get the second half under way Astro with the ball up by seven.
First in 10.
Three wide to the right side. Shockey offset left.
Look at that 14 picking up nothing though. Good one. Defensive
He's still got a chance in his ballgame right here.
Somehow you got to come up with a stop.
He's only down seven.
Mentally, you got to understand your position.
You made some mistakes in the first half,
but you still got a chance to bounce back.
Don't just start selling and go on tilt right here.
We got to see what David T. is really made out of.
Well, here's an early moment, third and sixth.
Four Astro.
Once the left side is to pick up this play,
$50,000 on the line.
And he'll put Bunch right side, throws it right side.
I didn't tell that.
Yep, the three-four's in short.
Big four for Ninches coming up right here early.
And this is where a lot of times you see defenders get real aggressive
and they end up giving up a touchdown
because there's counterstop for short Ninches.
You were saying he was open.
He found a different open receiver.
It's Jeremy Shockey for the first set.
You saw that streak in that poll.
Absolutely, and that's what happens when you get on fourth down
You know these guys want to play aggressive and you're looking for everything short before you know
You don't gave up something deep welcome back into the booth
Wisconsin Badger legend. I'm gonna jump around fans out Melvin Gordon back in the booth
Melvin these running backs getting involved now for take getting going. Look like you back in your chocolate days
Yeah, man. I play what man astro is uh
Different I've never seen
since I've been playing the game.
Yeah.
I've never seen a guy use their quarterback like that.
We're talking Madden 04.
Oh, my God.
Hey, he's sick.
What is that?
He's sick.
That's the new L1 feature, the one hand catch
Astro showing you all the highlights, everything that
can be different.
And the crazy thing is, Chad, they patched it, boy.
The boy was even sicker than that.
They patched him.
I got to feel me in.
His game was sick.
Like, he was out here scrambling with Cam Newton.
They had a promotion called the Collector's Series.
Cam Newton was crazy.
He was out here doing all these backwards spins,
and nobody could sack him.
Like, he's just stick working, and at the end of the day,
they had to patch him.
It was just too much.
Too much complaining.
People get on Twitter.
You know how they do it.
I don't know if I'm watching Justin Fields or Lamar Jackson.
That unbelievable.
You'll be both of them.
Oh, that's it.
They have him jazzed over those proxcovers.
How about this, these proxcovers.
See him catch touchdowns.
See him play defense.
And the people at home are earning him for free
just by hanging out here.
That's the car we've been showing, right?
You got to go on the twist, right?
You got to go in top.
You got to get top.
Okay, just making sure.
Oh, yeah.
Fields back towards 3rd and 11.
Oh, he's got all sorts of room.
Or, here we are!
That's a big advantage they are for him.
Oh.
Offensively, I think he's a little bit too much for anybody.
And that's what I was trying to tell him,
even on the other side of the field,
Dree looks dominant.
But when you see that matchup,
you can just see the eye test.
Sometimes you got to have an eye test.
And when you look at that Astro,
you're about here different.
He high powered, everything's look like a high light.
His movements is different.
You can just tell he got them fingers.
And I'm not mistaken, like, I mean,
is it hard to really run a spy on that show or?
He can take them.
Like, the thing about it is, the thing about it,
he has the speed, so like, and also,
once you start putting spies out there,
you're not gonna get the same amount of pressure.
One thing about it, we're trying to keep a clock mentally.
We don't want him to think that he can just sit back.
And you want to send at least four people,
That's why they're not putting that spy out there.
He's got it.
He finds most of the thoughts out of the backfield.
All right, in the midfield goes David T.
Do not count up this man.
Oh, no.
How many times have we seen David T. make big plays?
And so also this, when you talk about that spy,
you see how his movements is with the quick cut,
how he's able to make those movements.
Yeah.
He's going to sponsor me a linebacker or a lineman.
Justin Thiel's going to fry him.
Yeah.
So you can't really have a computer try to work with him.
It's like in real life.
Can you put a spy and say big done
when you gotta worry about it.
I hear what you're saying.
We got what you got to try something.
Yeah, try anything.
We got a man master standing by.
Do we have some Seahawks fans in the building?
Yes, we do.
We have a couple of Seahawks standing here.
We got Chloe and Ariana, both of them from the Bay Area.
How's this experience been so far for you?
Amazing.
Super fun and having a great time watching everybody
and enjoying myself.
And of course, we have Seahawks Patriots Super Bowl
60 this weekend.
We got the March on Lynch jersey.
We got the Russell Wilson jersey last time these two in the Super Bowl.
You know what happened.
We ain't gonna mention that right now.
You know what I'm saying?
We ain't not gonna mention what happened.
But who's gonna win the Super Bowl then?
Seahawks Bay.
Seahawks all day.
All right.
And you know what?
Because y'all came in with the energy, the Seahawks energy, I'm gonna give y'all a Jackson
Smith and Jigba Seahawks jersey.
Congratulations.
They go ahead and wave that thing up.
Jackson Smith and Jigba.
Druski, that's how you say his name.
Nick, back over to you.
See, that's why Masters are professional.
Get him to host the NFL honors next year, 28-14, Astro with the lead, David Tue the ball,
and here goes that man, Shadar Sander.
Go, Norris.
I see we got a lot of positive energy in the chat.
And what a what?
We got a lot of positive energy in the chat.
What they talking about?
And listen, let me tell you right now, since you're being so positive, I'm looking for
the loyal MCS, the loyal Madden fans.
If you want that Drake Thomas, tell me your best Madden ball moment.
There have been some good ones, he's got the corner and he is awesome with the catch.
You're not out of the game though.
The way you made those greens and you saw that corner out before and threw it, it looked
like you could play some better.
Oh yeah.
I don't play with some of the great ones so I know how timing works.
If you know the route and you kind of watch them with the break off, you kind of just,
you know what I mean?
It's all about timing.
Same thing.
It's only a one-score game and there's one thing it's stuck with me this whole
tournament. I just get most said it best user. No lead is safe here in the
Maddable. Absolutely right here as you see David T. still fighting does that
out of motion and you heard skim saying the first half David T. found something
with that out of motion. Astro had to respect that out of motion that's what
gave him the window on that corner out. Soon as he made that switch to pull the
got over there, hits that corner
around, easy touchdown, uh-oh.
Oh, Matt Forte winding, weaving like a mountain road,
taking up a first down.
Can't let Astro get in the open field.
Once he get in the open field, he gets kind of nasty out there
with the controller work, so, you know.
It feels like every time he gets past that first level
into the second level, he's like, is he scoring?
Yeah, it get a little scary.
Get a little scary, I can't say that.
It's Forte again, good defense, Ed Reed in the back.
Ed Reed made a couple tackles in the back for this day.
Hey, I'm going to be honest with you.
It's a sense of calmness and confidence with David.
I mean, it looked like he was out of the game,
but it just still feels like he's in the game for some reason.
Yeah, he's cool, calm and collected right now,
but I'm going to be honest with you.
There he goes.
That's it.
90-50, 20, 15, 10, 5, off to the racists.
His astro.
Maybe I spoke too soon, huh?
Yeah, really too soon.
Well, welcome to the booth.
And he's in New York and he's going to play a cool,
calm and collective, at least on the outside.
And so you got to understand David T's been so dominant
in his last tournaments,
we've yet to really see him face the adversity.
And this is really where you get to see
what type of madden player is going to be built,
how is he going to build his legacy?
He's down two possessions right here.
Still has plenty of time.
As you take a look back on the replay,
Matt Forte wide open out the backfield.
That's an easy read any day of the week.
David T's going to have to tighten up our offensive,
defensively any day of the week and twice on a Friday, 35, 21 Astro on top.
Now way back to pass pressure immediately.
Man starting to cook up some pressure.
He can't he can't he can't he can't afford to turn over the ball or not
convert a score to drive his margin of error is over with.
Yes, it's over with.
He's here for them to make another mistake.
Are you saying that he's over?
You need to say he needs to play.
You feel me he has to play perfect ballgame right here
He can't hold on to it
Whatever you got in you big dog you gotta get it you gotta bring it out whatever's in the bag
You've been holding you gotta take it off the bag
You're not saving this for anything else.
Can't save it.
$50,000 on the line, $35,000, $21,000 on top, $3,000 and $10,000 for David T.
Look to the middle, there's that man again.
Bears like it.
Devin Hester off to the races, to the 25th.
Jukebox to the 20th.
Oh!
Clippin' for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube.
Who cares?
David T's back in this game.
That's what we call fight fellas.
That is what we call fight.
Big-time players make big-time plays when you need it and look at it go for two pay attention David T going for two
I like the move you like you like the two I like it here. I know skimbo's a fan of the two point
I like the two right here. That's all the way
Patient and that's one of David T's best features about him being patient
That's how he was able to clutch up obviously he should go for an onside right here trying to shorten the field
He's gonna kick it deep. He must be trusting his defense right here
Astro just has to go down and score a key putting the pressure on don't get too big brain
Look at how far back he falls down to use the clock you take one more time. I mean that is a play
That is a play. I know that the social team is like thank you for this game
That is a play that's that's right there. We get some impressions on this game. That's somebody who won it right there
Your top five most electric players
Your top five like boy, they crazy
I like Barry Sanders. Oh, yeah, got you Adrian Peterson Eric Dickerson
out there. Somebody that was. Why you in the field or what? Yeah, in the field.
But listen, while I give you one second, let me shout out Fat Man Jones, Astro making
John Beast look like he was using an 80 overall team. Astro's winning the ball.
Congratulations on winning that. Drake Thomas. Alright, go ahead and finish
tell me your top five most electric players. Josh Grims. Percy Harger. Percy. Oh, Percy was
He was crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My sister LT, I'm chirping.
Yeah, you never did get to play.
Don't worry, nobody's watching.
No, I didn't.
Don't worry, we're not live running this time.
You know, as a charger.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm pretty sure you had to see enough tape
and film on him like he was ridiculous.
You don't feel like you had to try to fill his shoes
coming in because that's major, man.
I didn't feel like that, but he was, you know, I got dragged by the Charisos.
I never said it, you know, but that was my favorite running back.
Oh, nice, nice, nice.
Oh, that was, that must have been.
I think I cried when they let him go.
Like, I was hurt.
And then I had to wait till he retired for AP to be like my favorite running back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then that's kind of how that went.
250 to go.
Second and 12 for Astro.
He's got lots of room and he wants to take off.
Let's go back in the middle field.
There's that Jeremy Shockey.
That's a drive.
They gave him a quick kick, but me hit down before he lost control.
It's a lot of power sets.
This is a lot going on right now.
Sometimes you got to take him in that no line.
It's a lot going on right now.
Throw that up to the replay booth, right?
He got it in.
There that man goes to the 25 yard line.
Tech, tech, tech, tech.
This is major if we think about what happened yesterday in that Henry game,
He could have easily scored.
He understands he's only up six.
Worst case scenario, listen, let me get all them timeouts
above the day.
I'll kill three and go up nine.
I ain't gonna lie, fellas.
It's almost time to kiss the baby.
Definitely.
It's all gonna be okay.
Yo, hand on, Forteck.
It's almost time to kiss the baby.
I know what I see it.
I know it.
How about Matt Forteck?
I know it when I see it, fellas.
It's time to kiss the baby.
I know it.
It's time to kiss the baby.
I know it.
Astro will be in the ship.
$50,000 more to the winner of this game, looking like Astro.
That's Forte.
I mean, he just looks so fluid out there on the streets.
He's got to wait here and play in the big Bobbittie pool, man.
It's going to be tough.
I'm anxious for this nice round.
Stingy defense versus a high-powered offense like this.
Yeah.
Let's see it.
Tackles.
39.
Let's get nice.
down in line.
Astro showing off his, I like to call his stone cold Steve Austin game right now because he's pounding the rock.
Fortan left hip.
Hands it off, cuts up the middle.
Picked up the pocket.
Astro going to settle for three right here to go up nine and we've seen this different situations.
Right, we saw what happened with the 88 in Henry game, how you managed the clock, right?
And Astro was choosing to go down, but then we had this situation yesterday with
Dreamy and Dazz and he got the onside.
Yes sir.
Melbourne, you shot.
You was great at field football, I see that.
Oh, I studied field, that's one of my things.
That's one of my things.
I'm a student of the game.
Yeah.
Yes sir.
I'm a student of the game.
I am a student of the game, buddy.
I play my little dynasty league, man.
When I'm going up against different guys and they're on Twitch and they say they video.
Yeah.
and watching.
Oh, no.
I wonder those guys.
They say people don't understand how much film helps you.
Oh, yeah.
That's whether you're playing real life, video games, anything.
Oh, yeah.
Come on, baby.
That's a bull.
That's a $50,000 stealer.
What you doing with that, man?
Time to kiss the bat.
You're telling me to kiss the bat.
An actual look for his first MCF championship as he adds to the Madden Ball final.
It is knee knees and King James in the chat.
Astro will take off training.
First time champion or your time champion?
You already know.
I like your story.
I like both stories.
Absolutely.
Astro's been fighting this long time.
Finally making it to the finals.
The biggest moment on the biggest stage.
For all the marbles on the line.
Who's going to be crime the best maddened player in matting 26?
250k on the line, we only have one more game of our Madden 26 season.
It will be Astro, Andrini, here live from the Bay Area.
The Madden Bowl final coming up next before we get there, though.
A man who has made himself one of the fan favorites.
Goat Easy shares his story about how nothing can hold this man down.
I'm Matt Gangle, known as Go Gigi, I'm 23 years old and I'm from Racine, Wisconsin.
My right leg is actually amputated.
I was born with a disease, it's called fibula hemimulina pretty much.
I just didn't have a fibula, so at a very young age they amputated my leg and I've had
a prostate pretty much my whole life.
I can't ride certain roller coasters, but I was able to do everything.
I played baseball at a pretty high level.
It was like small barriers for sure, just like, you know, I was definitely slower than
everyone of course you know have one leg sometimes I wasn't able to practice or
play a game so you know being able to sit out of that you know was hard but
you know we were able to get through it.
I'm getting into my life around I'd say middle school that's when I first like
started playing it a lot I took what I learned from basketball and baseball and
just like the work that they can show and up getting what I need to get done.
It's definitely been an outlet for me it keeps me being competitive and that's
what I like doing so I'm definitely an inspiration I mean just alone in my
strength I have a lot of viewers with the disabilities that come through and
They always tell me how I inspire them to just be great.
So just hearing that all the time, it keeps me going.
Any advice I could give, it's just like,
don't let anybody tell you, you know,
I would never let them even tell me,
no, I can't do anything, if I want to do something,
I'm going to do it.
So it doesn't matter if it's not in sports, IRL, school,
it doesn't matter.
Just don't take no for an answer and just keep pushing.
I
Welcome back in as you head into Madden and collect some much NFL honors, which happened
last night.
An incredible ceremony honoring the best players in the game.
You get some of the best players in the game in month as well.
You can collect your T-Mac and Carson Swessinger cards today as the winners of offensive rookie of the year and defensive rookie of the wards
presented by Madden
Unbelievable incredible performance incredible seasons those two guys had as we are back here in the studio
Madden Bowl unbelievable
Tournament that we've had so far and it is down to the final
we got a ring to give away that thing looks amazing how you guys doing so far
energy's been incredible as we get set for our final between Dreamy and Astro
to start off with Dreamy first as I interviewed him there during that
semi-final game and he looks locked in user absolutely this is you talk about
a legacy for a minute dreamy felt like he was Maytag he was watched spin cycle
That's what people say, even though he's been consistently.
But the thing about it, we're using him playing
at a higher level, getting more championships.
So now here he is, one shot, he wins this tournament.
He's all the way back in second place
and the money earners, and there's no question,
he submits himself as one of the top bad players
of all time.
He can put himself on that Mount Rushmore conversation,
as you mentioned there, but he's got a tough task
against Astro who despite the flu has been battled
through this all week long,
He looks locked in right now in this tournament.
Absolutely.
And Melvin, you already know, we're looking at both players,
but it's something about the eye test.
You're like, man, I'm just watching Astro.
And tell me what you see when you see him play.
I think he's just different.
Like I said, his user stick, his control stick
are a lot different than everybody else.
And you can see it.
I do think he's the guy to beat.
But Jrini, I mean, he's playing a perfect game right now.
He's not making mistakes.
It's true.
And the thing is, Astro's offense is so high powered.
Kenny get Drenny to make a mistake trying to keep up with his offense.
Yeah, absolutely.
And sometimes, you know, they say defense win championships, but also offense.
If you keep putting pressure and pressure, the thing about it is,
if it's a 28 ball game, Drenny takes it off.
If it goes up to 42-50 some points, that's when it gets in the Astro favor,
because I don't think Drenny can keep putting up those points.
But Kenny, his defense is real stingy.
It is.
But we're going to see versus high powered offense.
And Melvin, on this big stage, the final we're talking about here,
Being able to cement your legacy with a ring on the line,
$250,000, and the title of Planting Your Flag,
atop the mountain, what are these big pressure moments,
these big stages that you've been on?
What is the most important thing these two players must do?
It's the play of the game.
You know, you've got the crowd here.
Everybody into it, you into it.
It's a lot of money on the line, the ring in here.
Like y'all said, y'all into it, y'all cheering.
I see y'all every play.
You gotta stay within yourself, stay within your game.
You know what?
You probably hide some things.
They probably didn't hear some plays
that they didn't want to run, didn't want other people to see.
You know what?
It's time to just let it all out.
Let everything show.
It's time to win it.
It's time to go get it.
Let's go do it.
Melvin, as you talked about, the crowd's
getting ready for this final.
Getting locked up, an amazing crowd.
Are we proud here?
We look at the bracket and the route that they took here.
Melvin, I'm curious to you.
Obviously, you talked about Astro here playing a flu game,
doing his best MJ impression.
Have you ever had to deal with flu-like symptoms
and playing on the field?
And how do you make sure despite the symptoms that you feel
that you're still able to perform at a high level?
Yeah, my last game in college, I had to flu a lot of people.
I sat out, a lot of people thought I was just,
you know, just not gonna play.
But, you know, you just gotta rely on your hard work
that got you there and just stay focused.
You know what I'm saying?
That's all it is.
You know, work is work.
It's a little harder to concentrate,
a little harder to focus,
but you gotta realize what's at stake here.
And when you get to the room and you just gonna be like,
well, I was sick and let that be your excuse.
There's no excuses.
You got to go get it.
But he looks locked in, though.
I mean, you couldn't be able to tell if we didn't know.
He was over there, and he was right in front of us.
And Melvin hit it right on the head.
It's just like whether you're playing football,
or you're actually playing on the game.
Once you actually get out there, you get to running,
you get to sweating.
It's not going to be run out your nose,
but at the end of the day, you're locked in, you're playing ball.
You're focused.
And that's the thing about Astro.
You can see, he might be sick.
His fingers look real sick the way he gets out there.
But let's be real, he's playing good ball.
His mind is right, even though his body may be ill.
His mind is right.
You can see it and that's why he's in the championship.
It's that we need to drop in the comments right now.
Who do you think is gonna win?
Astro and 3D crowd.
We got a man and championship to give away.
Are you guys ready?
I see this energy all day long.
Use it.
All we need from these people.
We need some energy.
You guys are the one that is fighting.
Come on.
It's the final.
What an energy.
Let's go.
Let's get this thing started, baby!
Thousands of people signed up online to battle it out.
All right.
From the kickoff.
That's absolutely sticking on us.
To find out who's the most feared.
And seeing who has zero chill.
He is your zero chill challenge champion.
And now it all comes down to this.
This is the ultimate finale.
This is the Madden Bowl final.
Time to earn your reign.
$1,000 on the line, let's welcome our finalist.
A two-time belt winner, the Madden 19th Bowl champion.
He's no joker.
Welcome to the stage, Greeny.
His opponent has been making magic on the field.
We might have to change his name to Merlin.
Welcome to the stage, Astro!
offense first defense experience versus a man looking to make his name here in the
Manobo with his first ring and how about the crowd we got here we got our own forces out here
Big shout out to the USA a big shout out to the crowd. It's been magic here in the Bay
Hey!
Hi, I'm excited about this.
I'm excited about this.
A lot of money, man.
$250,000 on the line.
Only the third Madden Bowl ring we have handed out
will it go to Astro who would make history, Skimbo.
as earning his first MCS title in a Madden Bowl.
We were talking about that earlier.
Normally people have belts before they win this.
Aster's gonna skip the belt phase and get the ring at 250K.
At least that's what he's wanting to do today.
And I don't know if you can look at his math here, Robin.
So this game, this is a $100,000 game of John Madden football.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Let me just ask how many people out there would want to play for $100,000?
I know I would.
As we get ready to go here from San Francisco, the beast named John in the building.
John Beast.
Give us a love for John Beast.
The Beast.
Hey shout out to Dauntimus too.
I see you baby.
What up, Dottie?
John Beast in the building.
Come on, Dottie.
Job beast in the building.
We got men and womenaires in the building as we get ready for a final and Skimba, this
is what they work for all year long.
When we start off at the kickoff challenge, they're only talking about one thing.
It's getting to the Madden Bowl.
I can't say it enough, man.
These dudes have put in so many hours playing this game just for this moment and it's finally
about to pay off.
All right.
He's 99 speed.
Let me ask you, Melvin.
five players out there. Hey, I'm not gonna lie to you. I was looking at I was like, who is sketch like is this one? He's like
He's like, did I?
I'm like, is this a Hall of Famer?
I'm like, is this a Hall of Famer or something that I missed?
But now I've seen it.
But if there's one thing Skimbo that sketch is gonna bring, we've seen him on kickoff in terms, we've seen on some of those crossers and drags.
It's at 99 speed and 99 catching.
You're gonna see that and also I'm looking at their abilities they have on this sketchbar.
They have the slot of Maddie both of them. I believe have the slot of Maddie so in case it definitely Astro Astro love running man
Journey is gonna want this by receiver to get open with those abilities on him. I'd like to personally apologize
He's dancing five six. So how many five six players did you play with?
Not many alright, but this man. This is Batman. I don't use your somewhere pump about this one
Julie's pepper the best ever dude. I think everybody
I heard he was unbelievable
Fortunately for me. I never got to go up against him. Thank God
Yeah, I mean six with seven at the end linebacker wherever they want to put them
I mean, that's probably a pretty scary side over there
Do we have a we have a tight end scar if I'm not mistaken because he already can play both ways if you wanted to
Let's take a look at Astros key offense player. It's that Justin Fields. He's been making magic with him skimbo
Yeah, it's because they have these abilities the conductor the gunslinger the master tag
These quarterbacks have those discounted buckets so you can make these quarterbacks just about I mean
There's the best quarterbacks in the game.
Unbelievable what they're 97 speed defense
with that wham bam.
Thank you, Tim.
You said you want to be a safety.
Be pretty good to be a camp chancellor.
Yeah, I mean, he was unreal on Sundays.
I mean, he has a Super Bowl ring for a reason.
Straight dog.
I want to say something really quick about that,
Justin Fields, because you see what
Astro's doing with this quarterback.
I'm looking at his ability, if you want to know this.
He has second win, Gunslinger, master tack, and Gavet.
So the reason why Justin Fields hasn't gotten Fatih,
he put the second wind ability on him
because this was a game plan coming into this tournament
to do what he's doing with this.
Which is the ability that most people at home
maybe weren't thinking about.
We know about all the powerful abilities,
but second wind might be the key
to what he's been able to do with Justin Fields.
These are the best madden pros in the game.
And if they're putting these abilities on these parts,
you might want to think about doing it yourself at home
if you're trying to get on this level.
Three nuggets, people, three nuggets.
250k on the line.
and we've had an electric crowd all three days here from San Francisco.
I know the crowd's excited for this game. We got thrown in the building. We got K-Mack in the building.
Shout out to the USAA.
The energy's been up, man. The energy's been up today. It is going to be a good finals match.
I ain't excited about it.
I know you've played with some a lot of crowds in the past.
Oh, yeah.
And building of this size, this crowd's been electric.
Oh, yeah.
They've been electric, man.
You ready?
Are you ready for this one?
Skip on, you're ready.
I'm ready for the fact, because I
know the work that these dudes have put in,
the hours they put in, the sacrifices.
And it's all for this moment right here.
We head inside USAA stadium.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's crowd a Madden Bowl champion.
Oh, I know you can get a lot of that.
I know you can get a lot of that.
250K on the line, it will be draining with the ball first.
Here we are.
All right.
Oh, yeah.
How many times have these two players,
three times before?
I mean, these guys have probably played it
lots of times offline.
Online, I don't know what the number is,
number of times they've played.
Oh, good play!
And there goes Mosh and Fong.
There he goes.
See that one is going to run down to the 25-yard line.
I was fixing to say, the thing about Astro's defense,
it's either going to be a defense that gives up 50 points,
or about 14 or 21.
because he wants to run a cover zero man-to-man.
Pretty much all game, he wants to run cover zero.
That way back to pass, over the middle,
he finds sketch going to work.
As we talked about, Green is gonna take what you give him,
defensively, he's gonna take what you give him.
I think Astro, even in the last game,
I think he used the first series to kind of figure out
what the guy's running, how he's running,
what's his game plan, and then he gets a little more solid
come the second and third series.
We're also sprinkles and blitzes in there.
That's the thing about this 6-1 defense,
because at any time, one of those outside DMs
could come in or linebacker.
And that's the thing about Astro.
He's going to mix it in.
Just watch these guys on the far outside.
They're going to either drop in zone or be blitzing.
Chat, what do you think about getting some dump trucks going
in the chat?
What y'all think?
I got two of them to get away.
Let me know who you got winning this game.
We'll pick one of you to take home a dump truck.
You know the guy he's going to be showing you all.
He's just showing you all playoff all tournament all
tournament you have seen since you stepped in this news.
The running back is the most important player on the field.
Yes, and his most important player in his favorite player.
Got to keep my own Mitchell.
As journey takes a seven nothing.
That's got to take a little pressure off Skimbo.
What you can take that first drive down the field put touchdown
on the board 100% and also when you want to replay this.
and you watch the replay of this.
This was Asher's responsibility.
He switched it on the banks, but wasn't there in time.
The running back was already going that way.
Great pass, great find by Dreening.
Off in the state.
Melvin, what was the luck?
You run on the wheel route.
Oh, yeah.
You pass.
You pass your coverage, and you know you're over the top.
Oh, it's just better at this point.
You're just like, hey, please put it.
Just drop it in the bucket.
I'm just trying to lock him, baby.
That's all I can do.
I tell you what, I am excited about this series right here.
With this Stingy defense and this offense,
This is what I'm waiting on.
Right, because Astro's offense has been
explosive and crazy.
But Drini is a top 3-5 defensive player of all time.
Every year, Drini has one of the best defenses.
Here we go, Matt Forte with the carry.
He'll pick up two on the left side.
Last game, Matt Forte was the guy to stop last game for Astro.
And let's see what happens this game.
Fields, over the middle.
He's got Plexigold Boris.
Oh, I know a lot of people excited for that Plex.
Those are his two guys right there.
I think people are going to let that card.
Let me just throw that out there.
I have a feeling.
Skimo's the expert here.
I haven't heard him say anything about this Plexigold.
Well, speaking of being the expert,
so something that Doreen did wrong and he's fixed it
and it happened early.
He forgot to do this new.
It's a new feature in this game to control your safety.
He's on a note.
This might be a touchdown.
Oh, it's OK.
I told you, Forte, Plexiglas, the guys in the top, those are his one-twos.
His offense is so high-powered, you know.
Those are mistakes right there that he can't make.
That's some good stick work.
And he's already made more mistakes than he had to be in the last game.
100%.
It's gonna be a deal with people.
Are we locked in, ladies and gentlemen?
It's gonna be good.
This is gonna be good.
It's gonna be good. This is what the people want right here.
This is what the people want right here.
What I was saying though, Trini had his safety depth wrong.
It was on deep. You want to have it in
so they're playing closer to the line.
Take a look one more time.
I don't know if that was Matt Forte or Usain.
Both the way he got out of there.
Down the sidelines for Payton.
And a rise smile from Trini.
He knows this one's going to be a dog fight.
Oh, he's filling it too. Look at him.
Astro 32 he know he got him right there.
Skipper how important are some of those coaching adjustments to get right at the beginning again?
They're huge and like I said these are new features they put in Matt in this year just
to make sure you can get your safes right in the box and outside the numbers.
L.A. rolling light L.A. takes off to the 40 to the 45.
Super man dive down to the 47 he's on a little deep side for Lisa from Gritty.
Zero is probably has had the best stick work all year,
whether it's with your quarterback or running the ball.
And something Astros honestly done all year is a cover,
zero man to man.
He loves running this defense.
He's going to rely on pressure and his switch stick.
Way back to work.
Immediate pressure.
He's going to throw this up, looking for Marshall.
Can he get there?
Feet down and bounce.
And that's the thing.
You know what beats cover zero sometimes?
Outside the quick drags, the deep ball.
No one's over the top.
Drenny went for it just a bit overthrown and I feel like playing against Astro
You have to take some of the chances like that after I agree
And we know Drenny likes to play to you know, he likes to play short routes
But I've gone up against a high-powered offense like I said a guy like Astro you have to take some shots
You just know you have to
First and ten
It's only first quarter. We got so much action big shout out by the way to everybody hanging out with us
At home on twitch on YouTube big shout out to you guys you can with us all three days on Nick Misesko Michael Skimbo
Melvin golden with you
And blitz L. Way Rollin right
The defense it's a separate up for astral
It's the pressure and just looking at rainy's abilities going against a cover zero
He's really relying on these wide receivers and Titans with the short in a leak the slaughtermatic in the route
to the left side. It's forward the catch will pick up a couple. We got master
stay to buy with some electric fans. Yeah, we've got a ton of Niners fans in
the building here joined with George and Chloe. You can see the energy they've been
bringing all day long. George, I gotta ask, how's it been so far being in this
part of MCS watching this man both lines? This has been lovely. This has been
beautiful. Everybody here they're playing their hearts out. All these people right
here supporting and we all down for this. We love this.
Woo!
I see you with the Thunder Sticks. What has it been right now?
Seeing how the high stakes of this tournament, how do you enjoy this so far?
I'm enjoying the experience. You know, I'm coming here with my dad, you know.
I love football and I've always played video games with my brother
and they've played games like this too, so I'm really enjoying it.
So, yeah.
Woo!
Because they've been bringing the energy and because they part of the Bang Bang Niner Gang,
I got another giveaway for them.
How about it Christian McCaffrey nine minutes Jersey go ahead and show that they go right there
You see the energy they've been bringing it's been like this all week long Nick back over to you
So dreamy kicks that field will open up a 10-7 lead astronaut with the ball
Second down looks to the fly overthrow
Nick like you said it was only a fourth and four a lot of madam players are gonna go for that dream the size of
Kick three and rely on his defense.
This is something that he's relied on.
His whole entire madding career is his defense.
Oh, oh, that's rookie!
He's lucky!
It's not intercepted, Dredi's got to feel like he missed out.
Melvys, was that a bit of a pick?
That's it a bit of a putt.
Oh, oh, oh.
That's a bit of a pick.
Hey, you know what?
Sometimes you get away with it.
But that's why you kicked the field, though.
Now he's got to convert this fourth down.
That's what I'm saying.
Bunch over to the left side, Stoller's even wide right,
Justin Fields at the helm, quick step from Astro,
going to work, rolling right, nowhere to go,
Spins left, he's rolling, he's winning, he's winning,
he's excited!
That's crazy, that's crazy!
He's not real, he's not real, he's not real.
My best on Astro out there, that's Houdini!
He's the best in the world at doing that stuff
with your quarterback, you're not gonna find
another madden player that plays this game,
That can do what Astro can do.
That would make me, and he's playing.
And then the reason he's playing right by the end.
That's a good defense though.
You know what, you gotta be a sick individual
just to think about doing stuff like this.
Actually crazy.
Hey by the way, Ant don't miss, these kids are mutting.
Maybe you go ball, can I get a dump truck to compensate?
We got you man.
How?
Get on that dump truck.
How?
Devon, Astro.
At this point, you gotta use it.
You got to use the fact so you don't know but in fact we have these abilities right to make superstars play like superstars
And I said earlier it's the second win ability on this Justin Phillips
That's why you know how mad and people get tired. Yeah, Justin Phillips is not gonna get fatigue
Most got a nickname a warrior to go the way chats keep let us know why you deserve it
Let's know where you got winning. Let us know what your favorite moment is just be active in the chat
I mean you guys know this better than I do, you guys are a pro.
We've never seen anything like this.
How do you stop this?
You turn the game off and you go, that's how you stop this.
You hook the internet and you say, I'm going to go play something else.
You know this, you know the answer now.
How do you stop this?
What do you do?
That's a three-time doubt winner.
What do we do?
What do you do?
What would you do?
Let's start there.
You're probably going to have to start putting contains on the field so we can't get outside
the pocket.
Got to put contains.
I doubt a spy.
I heard you talk about spies earlier.
I don't think a spy would do the trick, but he's got to keep them in the pocket.
of one, 14 to 10, are we having fun, ladies and gentlemen?
As the kick is away, it will be dreamy, back on offense.
He'll kneel this down to the end zone, take it out to the 35 yard lines.
Take a look at this scramble one more time.
Oh my God.
I mean, it's been cycles that have longer met.
There's one, hit him with the two.
Oh my God.
down the field. Oh my god. I find Javi shocking. Oh, that's unreal right there.
Okay, that way. And there goes that way. Yeah, that's a little scary right there, huh?
The crazy thing about what Astro's doing with this quarterback, this is stuff you would do at
home with your friends, right? Yeah, in backyard. Would you ever do that on a stage with a live
audience for $250,000? No. He's doing all this under this kind of pressure. Yeah. But you know what?
He's confident in his ability to do that.
And that's why he's doing it without thinking twice in battle.
Intense dogwater, said Nick Amanda-Warranty.
Let's go!
I cried when he got hurt, and I get his card.
It'll make my ear, hey, let's make your ear, then, young fellow.
Taking on that Nick Amanda-Warranty
has another big place for Dreamy.
We got almost a red-zilling opportunity.
Be looking down the road for Astro to switch stick
onto this streak.
It's going to happen at some point in the game.
He's going to have to guess right.
That's good for him.
Finally, Astro's going to look for it.
It was a guy in the open, but that's a good throw out.
didn't have time to set his feet. Could have been a bad pass. Yeah.
Swish stick pick. Yeah. Throw that out.
That way to work. Over the middle. Oh, what's up brother? There's Scott. There's Scott. Bro. There you go.
There he is. That's Scott's really nice. That's unreal. That guy there. I hear he's not in that
That's what we're like to.
He mentioned.
You know, Astros defense really isn't a fan, but don't break defense.
You see their get off the field or you score touchdown.
Yeah, I am curious to see Astros red zone defense here.
14 to 10 Astro on top dream they're driving.
Who's gonna second goal from the eight yard line?
I'll tell you what, I'm not mad about the three points.
Do you think that'll come back to the end of the year?
How about a seven?
A seven, Hester to the end of the year.
I mean, he's efficient.
I feel like he could have got it, maybe, if he went for it.
But do you think?
Time will tell, because honestly, as great as Astro is,
and he's putting on a show for everyone watching there,
can he live like this?
Can he keep living like this with his quarterback
on these broken plates?
Eventually, Dreamy is going to make the atrocious.
Oh, he is.
He is.
And we know that because he's done it all tournament.
All tournament in his whole entire madden career.
Yeah.
Back when he used to have the bandana on.
Look what he was young greeny.
Pandana's really was built different.
Bandana's really was unbelievable.
He still built different.
I know as we see him throw a tough shower.
Finding Devon Esther in the end.
Click off.
What happened there?
You just wish they can try to made him right.
This is what it gives and takes away and
drinks date on that read.
Oh nice.
Patience from the Blitz.
They all look it over the top.
Oh, it's Tata.
It's almost surprising when he definitely
did three spin moves before throwing the ball.
So do you think adding, you know, the bliss right there,
do you think that stops that?
Slows that, that they're running,
that extra running back there now.
That's what Dreamy's doing.
Nice curve out there.
Back to the back, please.
She's trying it.
Like I said, he's a great defensive player.
He's going to try everything.
And you have to in a game like this.
Like I said, you can't save anything.
You got to let it all up a little shit.
Back to work. Justin Fields for Astro.
Finding Matt Forte to the 4035.
Spin move to the 32-dollar line.
Astro on the drive.
I know you were hating on that linebacker car
with that speed earlier.
Well, this is the case where that probably
could have made a difference.
Probably right.
Fields to work with a bunch to the left side.
Hands to the Matt Forte.
Trying to get out of that outside zone.
Nice tackle, it's been his bread and butter.
This entire tournament outside zone with Matt Forte.
Drenny is so sick of this rollout with the quarterback at the end.
Look at the defense.
Look at the slot corners and the middle linebacker.
Drenny has started to bliss these slot corners
off the left and the right side.
Just to make Ashrow make a read.
He wants to see him make a snap read.
Oh, Drenny just changed defenses.
Oh, the chess match.
Bobby Fisher out there, field to the shotgun.
I think it's good to switch up.
I think you have to do that.
You can't just stay one defender with things.
Because the way he was going before was stopping him.
He was just kind of getting lucky with the quarterback run.
He just wants to make Astro a pocket passer.
He's going to go into this defense and probably
have contains on both sides.
He wants to make Astro beat him from the pocket at this point.
Believe us, folks.
He came in with a game play.
100%.
$100,000 game.
John Madden football.
250 K to the winner and the illustrious
Madden Bullray here from San Francisco.
Fields, drop back over the middle.
He's got Hester, stop and go.
We're going to fourth and short.
Fourth down.
Fourth and short.
Two out of fifth K on the line, and we got a fourth and short.
OK, chest match at home right there.
Astro no huddle, but he could have set up his defense
and don't drop.
Trini calls a timeout, knowing this is the biggest
play of the game so far.
Yes, sir, this is a huge stop.
This is a huge win.
It's a huge win if he can get this stop.
Fourth and short, puts the bunch out wide left.
He'll hand it off.
Can Forte get there?
Oh, that's a stop!
He got the first down!
He got it!
He got the first down!
Can somebody get the reps off the challenge?
Can we bring the change?
We got to get the index card?
Nah, not the video game.
In real life, I need them chains coming.
You need the index card to see if you actually got it.
Oh, the linebacker was so close.
Right there.
So close.
Forte.
Picks up.
Let's take a look at this reaction from Dreamy.
He thought he had him.
He knew it.
And Dreamy went to another defense on that down.
He went to double plug, but now Asher
is going to take away this clock.
The clock's running.
Dreamy only has one time out.
This should be the last possession of the half.
Second and two.
How about half back toss out a bunch will crack toss look he'll pick up
He's breaking out all the stops. There's nothing to say before
And I was I was about to say dream was holding on to that timeout and he looked about two or three seconds
Go he finally called that timeout just now last one no timeouts for dreamy full compliment of timeouts for astral
Hey at the end of the day you still have to score after you stop him right here for three
You put yourself in a very spot fields to work
There we go. There goes this man once again trying to put on a show.
You got to stay on it. And there he goes. Oh no way!
Two bucks dip on the chip boys. Two bucks dip on the chip.
Skimbo is disgusting. What do you do?
I don't know.
Well he went from a ballast. That's tough.
31 yard field goal to a 51 yard field goal.
field goal and I think he'll make it he'll make it. It's a big game. I don't think he'll miss. But you know we get
shocked every day. Now we'll call a timeout right here with one second on the plate.
How appropriate after this tournament. It's been one score games. It's been a heartbreak. It's been elation. How
appropriate is it that we're about to go in a half time all tied up in the two hundred and fifty thousand dollar
This finals has honestly been amazing you see some of the craziest plays
Kick it's up it's good. We're all tied up in the Madden balls final 17s a piece
That's not over. We see kick return. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, right here. Yeah. Oh, yeah
Saddle up now
Saddle up
Because we know who's back there. He kicked it out. He kicked it out. Oh, yeah, it's my man
too much, too much on the line.
Make that mistake.
You're not putting it in Devin Hester's hand.
I'm going to say something out of the thing.
I said, we're not putting it in Skechers' hands.
I hope not.
Now with that 99 speed on that car, I wouldn't.
This has been a great first half.
Yes, yes.
This is what you expect from a championship game.
I like what I'm seeing.
I'm anxious to see who prevails in the back half.
Four seconds left in the first half.
Here in the hands of his ball off,
can he get going with Marshall Falk?
He'll take the tackle and he'll go to half-time.
10 minutes to settle this one.
We're all tied up.
17 apiece here from Frisco.
The screening will kick this one away
and it will be Astro with the ball
to start the second half.
Uh-oh, here he goes, he's got Devin Hester.
What have we seen from Devin Hester on Special Teams?
Not past the 20, but 25.
Somehow, container the 27 yard line,
and we will take a breather.
Are we having fun here from San Francisco?
It's all tied up.
17 of P's, Dreamy and Astro, 10 minutes to crown a champion.
Let's take a look at some highlights
from our first half of action.
We started things off with Dreamy,
up and over the top to Melvin Gorn's man,
And then it was Astro down 7-0, getting cold with Matt Forte up the left side lines 4-6
and a little strung from the flu game.
Then Astro with a 10-7, down 10-7, finding Devin Hester.
Great pylon, takes the lead, but draining with the immediate answer, he finds his own
No one, Devin Hester, four touchdowns and a fist bump from the two time belt winner.
The Madden 19 volt champion, there it is.
There's your prize and 250 large.
And we got one half to figure out who will be hoisting that ring.
I might say one of the most important rings being given out this weekend.
Well, I think a lot of people wouldn't do that.
I think that was pretty good.
That was pretty good.
pretty good. Pretty fire if you ask me. And they're coming with 250,000 to go with it.
I think that's the best way you can get around here. It is Astro with a ball to kick off.
The second half and how about Dreaming getting that defense going. Second to 15. The main
thing I'm taking away right now just watching Astro. He's playing a different game than
anyone else. The things that he's seen on the field. I don't know how he's seen them
with the quarterback play. It's amazing.
Feels right. Spins left.
Yeah, here this man goes again.
Hit as he throws though.
Third and long.
Drenny's starting to get it.
He's getting him contained just a little bit.
That's the story of the game right now.
It's how Drenny's going to be able to contain
this quarterback play.
That is literally the whole game right now.
As Drenny's thinking, how can I make him beat me in the pocket?
Feels up the scene. He finds Matt Forte.
Kept him in the pocket there
and he still found that Forte.
Justin Fields in the shotgun for Astro all tied up.
420 on the third quarter.
Fields, growing right.
And he'll step out of balance and let's close out
this season away.
We've been rolling for a lot of this year.
Nick Massesco, Michael Skimbo, my brother.
One great user on the end.
I saw you sweating this one.
I know you've known Dreamy for so long.
Does it get any better than this, though, for 250K?
It doesn't get any better.
You're talking about legacy drive, legacy game,
everything on the line.
Astro playing phenomenal, making big play after big play.
The question is, can Dreamy come up with a stop
one more time in the second half?
Third and fourth, Fields,
by the Chucky possession catch first half.
And Nick, we talk about legacy, legacy drive,
Legacy Drive, Legacy Game.
We got one more dump truck.
The dumpiest dump truck of the year.
The question is in the chat, who deserves the dumpiest dump
truck for the year, for the last Madden Bowl, last dump truck
for Madden 26?
Second and five.
to keep him in the pocket.
That's the left side.
The five.
Third and two.
That's right now.
I think this is third, third down on this first drive in the second half.
Right.
Adrenius staying committed to running this dollar defense.
He's just trying to keep him in the pocket.
Look for half left on the outside.
Third down and two.
Well covered, but there's that late break from Blacks and Coppers.
It's just that playmaker ability.
I don't know what year that was put into Madden,
but every year the playmaker is one of the best things you can add to your game.
Astro right here, this is so tough to stop offensively.
You see Jr. Tayson is defense not putting that pressure on him.
And the thing about it, if he doesn't put pressure on him,
then you see he's going to sit back there and playmaker and just got you.
You don't put any pressure on it.
He puts on his best ER of pressure.
Just go surgical on it.
Second and five.
17 all.
Here in the 250,000 manamole final.
Fields rolling right.
Stop.
Throws.
Task force.
First down.
I think Melvin might want to bring the chains out for that one.
Melvin looking for a light.
He's asked for coaches' challenges.
He's asking for the chains.
He's a ref lover.
As a defensive player, when you're struggling against certain people
offensively this is the best part of the field for you to get a stop first and
ten from the 11th can you somehow hold the door right here use the short field
for your advantage and last time Astros down here dreamy did get a stop on that
third down able to hold them to three that's what dreamy needs to do right
here but we know Astros he's gonna make him respect everything from the flats
It's the quarterback scramble.
Flats.
Another tackle, third and fourth.
How big is it for Astro not to get a no-hunter right there
for Dreaming not to make his adjustments on his drops?
I'm just really shocked Astro has it ran the ball down here.
His stick work has been amazing.
Fields.
Good job, Gidee.
Your playmaker, Justin.
He's off fourth and one.
What are you doing?
Are you using it going?
It's tough as four down here.
It is.
In this situation, I ain't gonna lie.
Feel low.
I'm kicking the field.
It's too much on the line.
It's too, I ain't gonna lie.
He's going for it.
Yeah, it's too much on the line.
I'm gonna kick the field.
I'm surprised to see this man going for it.
Fourth and one, fields in the shotgun, drops back,
rolling right, looking.
You're dealing.
You're taking so far.
Oh!
To the bottom!
Oh my God!
To the bottom, bitch!
to the bottom, off to the right.
Trinity Jones!
This man's an ice cream shop.
Scoot, score, touchdown!
MUSIC
Skimbo, we touched on it.
The defensive game, if it was going to be a low scoring game,
around the 28-35 points range.
That's where Greeney's going to play his best.
Astro, putting up 47 points a game, 17 points in this game.
Right there in the red zone.
That's again, Dreamy coming up big with a huge stop.
You know that since the moment
he has become a maddened professional,
his defense is what's always carrying him.
Absolutely, and you see right here,
Astro putting the team.
Listen, he been making plays with Justin Fields all drive.
So I'm not even upset at him doing it
because when you make play after play,
you see Dreamy making the adjustments.
So you know what?
You want to come out and get real sticky with Justin Fields.
I'm going to make sure I got somebody on you at all time.
And that's what Melvin Gordon talked about right
in that first half.
There's that crack toss out of Bunch.
What a block on the outside.
And there goes Forte.
Oh, ho.
He just needed a miss to make one more
broke miss tackle and he's off to the races.
First down on the list.
This is really big for Astro.
He's got to stay composed.
Things are finally starting to go against him
for the first time all tournament.
Oh, my goodness.
Right over the head of Woodley.
It's Jeremy Shockey for first down.
Hey, this is where we see what is Astro made out of.
It's one thing about it.
It's easy to play good when you're up.
It's easy to be a friend of it, you know what I'm saying?
It's easy.
When you got to face an adversity,
can you still come out here and ball?
Second attempt.
What a game.
What a final.
Appropriate for a magical three days here
from the side of Super Bowl 60.
Field for the right.
Good play, Naker.
And he'll find Jeremy Shockey for the first time.
It's just for the most part, every play Astro has,
feels like a broken play almost.
Absolutely.
That's what it seems like, right?
He's just out there playing back here on football.
But Skinny touched on it.
You talk about Astros' first two games
to get him right here to the finals.
He was dominant versus John Beats.
He was dominant versus David T.
He really didn't have to.
Top throw!
He's pushing it, man.
He's trying to get all these points back right now in one
play.
He's got to just take a deep breath.
There's so much mad and left in this game right now.
And that's where you know you're being a season back being in this moment, you know, you can't pressure yourself.
You can't make too much out of a single play because it's one play at a time and you never realize how major
that one play will be if you make the wrong play.
Great job taking this drag there. I like that. Like I said, take a deep breath. You're fine.
Back to pass his fields.
There's trouble, there he goes again.
They'll throw this one away, and we head to our fourth quarter.
Five minutes remain. Get loud!
We crown a MatterFold champion.
24-17, Greeny on top.
Five minutes, Michael Skimbo.
He's an eternity of John Matter Football.
He's kicking three.
Wow, wow, Astro kicking three right there, very uncared, terrific.
He goes for it when the game is tied.
Now you're down seven and he won't kick three.
What does that say to you right there, Scott?
It says he's not comfortable on offense.
That's exactly what it tells you.
Kick his leg.
I just got to, I got to take a little temperature right now.
Do we got any Astro fans in the building?
Do we got any dreamy fans in the building?
Chad, I know you're rolling at home.
The user has the energy in the chat.
Elway back to pass.
Throws left side.
I touched on this in the first quarter.
It's about to happen here.
Astro is going to send so much pressure.
Look for a switchstick on one of those seam streaks.
Shout out to RTRE, congratulations my guy.
Guys, we got hair, here you go.
RTRE guys, my fiancee said she isn't marrying me
unless I get the dumpiest dump truck of the year.
Please help, well let me tell you.
You're a relationship saver.
Hey listen, I'm gonna say you're a relationship
but you gonna find out later on
whether it's a good choice or not.
We'll see, but you got the dump truck brother.
Good luck on winning it.
Good luck with the dub truck of all time and congratulations 24 20 dreamy with
lead and driving second and three. We need a four minute mark.
How I'm way back to pass over. Mitchell again inside the red zone.
And I don't know if you noticed for the first time all tournament.
Astral has gotten out of the 6-1 defense.
That way, hands it.
Mitchell around the left side, cut it inside.
He hit right there.
Steve Atwater known in the lead forever for laying the wood.
Dreaming fortunate to hold on to that.
Look at that, 2 o'clock already on, too.
3-20 to go.
Elway gives it to Mitchell.
Astral's good play.
What a user.
What a user. What a play right there by Astro.
You understand how big that is to be able to come up, make that diving tackle.
Third and 10. Astro.
Spots out wide left.
Take a delay. That's huge for Astro.
We talk about it, putting on that two o'clock feature,
dreaming not having enough time to make those adjustments.
Sometimes players like to turn on the two o'clock or, you know,
just juiced the clock naturally and at the end of the day they come back and bite
Draini. 3rd and 15. Mitchell on the right, Hemp of Elway, 2 out of left,
Solar is either wide right. Pressure! Pressure down! Goes Elway! How about the
defense from Astro, a deep sigh of relief. That's a huge stop. We got a fourth of
Venezuela coming up. Draini's gonna kick his three to go back up seven. Kick his
up. It is good. It's a seven point ball game. What a final so far. Let's check in.
with Masters stand-up by Melvin Gordon.
Yeah, I'm here with Melvin Gordon, a very tight game so far.
A couple four downs at Fumble Recovery 4,
a touchdown and a fourth and four there for a field goal.
But right now, a once-four game, seven-point game.
If Ashlet scores it, does he go for two?
I think he's going for two. You have to take the chance.
I mean, the $250,000 on the line, the ring is on the line,
the pride is on the line, your name is on the line. You've got to go for it.
We've talked a lot about Ashlet scrambling and doing what he can.
So Dini Impressions here, how do you keep composure right now with this drive on the
line?
You just got to know, you just got to understand, look, just be within yourself, stay within
the game.
You know, you knew doing too much with the quarterback earlier, kind of hurt you.
Get back to your game, do what you need to, but get the dough.
Nick back over to you, big, big drive in the Madden Bowl final.
Hand off, Matt Forte trying to find some room.
Two, twenty to go.
So what's about to happen on this drive for Astral, this is going to be the last drive
with the game what he wants is going to try to take away the whole entire clock
two clocks already turned on and like we they just crushed over there you take
your point after if you score with about 20 seconds left or do you go for two in
the win in this situation you know I think you go to the line you look at it
if you like it you snap it if you don't you go ahead and take it over time that's
the team right there he dropped it brings up a third and eight third and eight two
minutes to go. We're crowned a Madden Bowl champion here from the bank.
Shout out to the legends in the chat. I see Techno, Snoop Dogg, GGL, Gaming in the building.
You already know we appreciate you, brothers.
Third down and eight for Astro, dropping back with Justin Fields.
And he's got 4K possession catch. First down.
Shout out to my guy Rico Williams. He used to ask us this question all the time.
your madden player would you rather be on offense for the game or on defense?
I think Dreaming would rather be on defense right now than having the ball.
Absolutely in this situation being up seven you can't ask for nothing more.
Being an offensive player, hey we're up seven, we brought ourselves on defense,
let's get this done.
And I think Astro would rather be on offense.
Oh, this is an offensive player.
I think everyone's in the position where they want to be.
We're down to a minute ten.
Fields, fine of Jeremy Shocking.
I didn't know Chad at home.
I didn't see him in the chat.
Give me some wands if you think Astro pulls out the comeback.
Here's some twos if Dreamy holds on.
He needs to start speeding it up just a little bit more.
They're going to the slack.
And they'll step out of bounds.
Damon Hester first down Astro.
We're under a minute to play.
Dreamy been playing phenomenal game,
but don't break defense.
I won't expect for him to put things to get tight
until he gets close to the red zone.
Here we go, son.
We've seen it a couple of times.
Uh-oh, broken play.
And you know what's giving this situation right,
you're dreaming.
You know, put it on height.
I like getting saved in this timeouts.
Because worst case scenario, in the Astro Dunn score,
you still got time to make plays.
Up there he goes.
There goes the Spanigan's field.
Scrambling. Got him over the middle of the field.
It's Plexus Bones.
Astro's down to the 21-yard line.
I'm going to say something on how next level
this is for Astro. Your icons go away when you drift back so far, Astro. He knows who
he's throwing to. He knows those icons. We're down 34 seconds. Fields in trouble again.
He'll throw this one away. 30 seconds left for crowning a champion.
In something you need to notice, Greeny was the one who burned the time out.
$250,000. This is a $100,000 game with John Madden football. Under 30 seconds to play.
Fields find a Burris. Burris picks up 6-3-4.
After a knock on a timeout, he's going no huddle.
I like the fact that Gidrini did not burn his timeout. Let Astro feel that pressure.
We've seen so many times, guys, mismanaged the clock.
That's a kick.
That's a beat.
Plexicul Burrus.
Decision time for Astro.
Does he go for it?
What do y'all think?
I think he kicks it too much time.
He's kicking.
Yeah, he's kicking.
He doesn't think about it.
13 seconds, Dreamy has two timeouts.
Smart play by him saving in his timeout.
He can really take this anywhere in the field.
It doesn't take much for him to get in field goal range.
Here we go.
And Skimmer, we've talked about it a ton today.
It doesn't take much to get in the field goal range.
As this one will take him, it's a 35.
Did get in the landing zone.
He kicks it deep.
Does not get it in the landing zone.
That's a major mistake.
That 15 yards is going to be made for the freeing.
He needs 14 yards, I think.
He only needs 15 yards.
That's all he needs.
15 yards.
Can Astro come up with the defensive style?
15 yards, two timeouts.
Here we go.
Can the Joe man cook up a hot one for his legacy?
13 seconds.
Two line to left side.
Scat's alone to the right.
Here goes Elway.
That's right, he's got Keith Mitchell!
He's in range.
He's getting hit right here.
He's in range.
It's not easy, but he's in range.
But we've seen this, Astro has timeouts, the last time we saw somebody have to kick
a field gun for the game.
Ice kick cannot go the way it's planned.
We will see how things can out right here.
Seven seconds, six seconds, Elway in trouble.
Hit by Truster!
That's going to make it easy!
It's easy!
This is a 250,000 dollar deal.
This is a $250,000 kick.
On your feet in the building, here we go.
Astro burning the time out.
He's gonna see what type of ability Greeny got in the kicker.
Does he have clutch kicker?
We will see right now.
He's gonna be ice.
Oh, legacy kick.
Greeny Joka for his third title and $250,000.
It's now in the game!
Greeny Joka!
Your Madness Bowl Champion!
Hey, baby, how you doing, bro?
What up? What up? What up? What up? What up?
What's going on?
Damn.
Y'all are literally staking right now.
Damn bro.
Right.
Mounted ball!
And Fiat's 26th winner!
3D!
Oh man, I'm shaking right now, I'm shaking bro like this is the biggest win of my life.
I've had so many big wins in my life but this right here is not going to lie, this feels
so good.
Like I'm shaking with my hands, I can't, this is insane man.
Give it up for 3D!
Unbelievable game, 3D is our PlayStation player of the day.
Let's take you back on that final drive.
Astro tied it there, 13 seconds left.
What were you able to do to get a field goal range
and win with icing the kicker?
How are you able to pull it off?
I feel like the biggest mistake that Astro did
was he kicked the ball to the end of the end zone.
So I started at the 35-yard line,
which allowed me to only need 15 yards to get a field goal
range.
And that's really easy to do in Man 26,
especially with two-time mounts.
And I'm grateful.
I'm grateful, man.
I don't know, man.
Let's bring the boys on right here.
As we continue chatting with our Madden Bowl champion,
Greeny and Greeny.
It's been a long road getting back up here,
being Madden Bowl champion.
That is a field once again, the plancher flag
atop the Madden NCS world.
It's been seven years since I won my last Madden Bowl,
since I won my last belt.
And you know, I've been hearing a lot of people
just call me, you know, like, they've been tiers
and all this stuff and you know, there's like a superior
tier, A tier.
I was at the end of the A tier like pretty much
close to the beats here and I felt really disrespected by that and really
slighted so I'm just here to prove a point that I'm still I'm still that guy
absolutely
he's still that dude now he's that dude he's on top of the MCS mountain and
Melvin come on over Melvin we got briefcase here for you
we got the money
Not only does he get the ring, but he gets $250,000.
Yes, brother, he's going very, very nice.
Unbelievable.
And I hope that we stay 20 years.
Go ahead and grab that mic back and use it.
Unbelievable.
What a performance.
What a three days here.
What has he done right now to submit his legs?
First off, Dreamy, I already know that dogs are up, man.
You know he's one of our homies one of our lab buddies in the court and y'all just to see these man players journey from all the guys
They've made it. You got to think what dreamy road is. It's a time. We've been at this call. We can't be
Yeah, the song's like you used to boy. You might be watch you might be they take and you think about that
Will you ever get back to the top of the mountain and you think about how everything changed with one?
Yeah, the earnings the championship. Yeah, what's going through your mind right now?
Well, it's just like there's so much doubt from everyone else that I could perform even within the discord
People are saying people were saying y'all you're streaming too much. You're you're not playing enough rev games
You're not you know locking in enough and I was hearing doubt from even my crewmates
And they're like and I was like I'm like I'm feeling I feel psyched from all that and I feel disrespected by all that
Because I feel like every time I'm in a tournament I could win the tournament. So
I'm just here to prove a point. I would like to thank everybody that's helped my crewmates
My family, my mom, dad, my two brothers, and my girlfriend.
I appreciate everyone.
It just feels so good, man.
Kim Bones.
He's the first Wings Championship.
What have you thought about his three-day performance here?
I've known Doreenie since he was, like, 15, 16 years old.
I remember when they lowered the gap, because you had to be 18.
Yeah.
So then they're like, man, this guy named Doreenie is a player.
They lowered it to 16 just for you.
You don't even act like they did it.
And guess what?
How long has it been, like, eight, nine years later?
Yeah, I don't see why he's got to slow down.
I believe a person, Jeannie, what did you see for the last
three days?
I mean, unbelievable.
One of the best to ever do it.
I'm just curious.
I know you think about things like legacy.
You think about your standing in the bad end.
Now that you have this, I know it's fresh.
But what does this do for your legacy?
I feel like I'm one of two people to make the manable final three times.
So I feel like that puts me in a very, very elite category.
And then I've won twice.
I don't, Henry has won twice as well.
So I mean, I'm pretty good confident.
Yeah, we all know Henry is like one of the best.
So, you know, I'm just happy to be in that category.
And I always think about the legacy stuff.
Like, I just like, I don't know.
So I care about legacy more than the money.
The money feels so good, but when-
I know it too.
Yeah, it's 150.
The money feels good, but like, I can't,
I can be happy with what I've done when I retire from the game.
Not about the money, but more about what I've done for the Esports
and what I've won in the Madden.
Right now, we are looking at our Madden Bolt MCF 26 winner.
Other boys, appreciate you for coming on in the last few days.
It's been great having you here.
And I'm sure you've enjoyed what you've seen so far
from the top competitors.
And of course, Dreaming Women's MCF 26.
It's been an unbelievable tournament here.
Appreciate the whole crew.

We are here to crown our Madden Bull champion of million dollars in championship ring.
Mr. Football 88 for the win and $25,000.
Kari Kew, who goes to the stretch and Katie Mitchell finds the end zone.
His dreams of a Madden Bull ring are alive.
Fuck the wind! Kick is up!
And it hits!
Oh, no!
It's trouble! That's a bubble!
That's a bubble! It's picked up by Ragey White!
One minute left, man.
It can't be.
Astro! He takes down the top two seats!
This is what the Maddenball is all about.
That's it!
Five in zone!
In trouble, but he's got a man who's dead.
What a thing, what a game!
And then, then, what a ball!
What the mix of day three of the Madden Bowl.
He comes to key to the 10th, to the 5th, to the end!
No zone!
Key to the 10th!
Come on, man. That's a ball.
That's a ball!
And that's a $50,000 seeder!
I
No.
No, Lill!
