Can We Make the Playoffs? Madden 25 Raiders Franchise

[@BraylanAtkinson-jq5ry]

Honestly, I’d rather see more Trenton State Dynasty because I can tell you really aren’t into Madden this year and it’s not the same watching it.

[@MooMooMoney]

I’d like to see a Madden Franchise where it’s not so in depth, and goes through the seasons much faster. Maybe he could play 3 or 4 games a week and just play the moments or something. The best part of these series are the drafts and the story lines anyways, I think it would be more enjoyable for us and for Bengal.

[@99dustyn]

​@@MooMooMoneykinda like his EACFB videos where he goes through a season in 1 video?

[@FranciscoPerez-cr4os]

@@MooMooMoney He obviously doesn’t want to play Madden so the solution isn’t to play MORE Madden 😂

[@michaes5182]

because madden sucks

[@danielmocorro4485]

If he wants to keep madden series going, he should go 4/8 games at a time in play the moments and then playoff games. Storylines are more fun then the gameplay itself

[@Michael-kw1mz]

I mean dude if you gotta cut ties with Madden 25 and go full steam ahead with CFB 25 I completely get that. Follow your heart gang.

[@bradleyschoenecker2930]

but Bengal they added the backwards hurdle to the game

[@williamheller1362]

And the Mahomes diving incompletion

[@Frogtoad44]

I think we will be getting a lot more raiders franchise now that they’ve added this

[@funkmasterflexnight8250]

Even as someone with a preference towards NFL content typically over college stuff, I watch your videos when they come out either way because they’re consistently great. If you wanted to just run CFB 25 and leave Madden 25 behind because you don’t have fun, I wouldn’t put it past you at all. I’ve enjoyed this series as someone who became a fan starting with Lions franchise, but I enjoy your Trenton State and live-streamed franchises just as much if not more so, especially knowing your having a better time with those. I know that’s just my opinion and you gotta do what’s best for your overall viewership sometimes, but just wanted to say that I at least would love watching your stuff no matter the game being this or CFB.

[@GrizzlyAttack21]

this might be the most intelligent thing i’ve ever seen on a youtube video

[@Arken-]

Been watching your franchise since Jags and I feel it is obvious this series doesn’t have it that the others did. When the game is so broken and not as fun compared to Cfb25 I don’t think anyone can blame you for not enjoying it yourself. It is hard to invest and give the series character when the game fucks you whenever it can.

It‘s nice that you‘re talking honest about feelings towards madden. Big part of enjoying your content is your art of action during the episode and that comes a lot from having fun. So there is no problem that there is more college football than madden

[@floppa4127]

i absolutely adored the assassins creed videos. "EZIO!! MOVE!" lmao

[@allenjhle]

I thought my super chill guy bengal was quitting this series, but nah i agree with you, madden 25 has been stale, i've been enjoying watching cfb25, especially since i have a pc and can't play it

[@theekaizer534]

Cfb has been a ton of fun in my opinion definitely enjoying that quite a bit

[@neomarioism]

its not even stale its aggressively bad

[@SoulSnatcha]

Get console!! It’s worth it

you know madden is bad when MMG and Bengal are both like "yeah you know our main Madden series we do every year is done cause this game is complete ass" xD

Facts bro mmg loves ncaa so much more

[@lorengassett9088]

Bengal i love any of ur content but the season long videos on cfb25 and of course Trenton state are by far my favorite

[@andrewsowards6947]

Gotta say ive been laid up at home from an injury for a month and your Trenton State dynasty and CFB rebuilds have helped keep me sane. Love watching while playing, and seeing how you rebuild and recruit. Would much rather you play something you enjoy for sure, but thats just like my opinion.

Appreciate the love man!

Am i the only one that thinks this is WAY better than the college football series??

[@tannerye]

the cfb videos have been bangers, it's really clear how much more you enjoy that game over this one. You're also the reason I've really started to get into college football as a whole. I wouldn't put it past you to drop this series after this season is over (or even now lmao)

[@ecase33]

so sad to see my favorite madden youtuber starting to not like madden anymore, it’s really surreal and i genuinely feel so sad that you feel forced to do something you don’t enjoy anymore. run with what you enjoy gang🤝🏻

[@o.t.d_ody_the_dreamer]

Bengal used to have great joy playing Madden Franchise. The Dolphins and Browns franchises are my favorites.

[@LittleTinyElvis]

praying the success of cfb 25 makes the madden devs step their shit up (they won’t)

[@fmgmack]

Literally

[@stormchasin7417]

I’m sorry you aren’t enjoying Madden! I hope you continue the series because I love to watch it but it’s always your choice! Maybe it will get better once you draft rookies so you have a new player and storyline to follow

[@brodeystanley1830]

I love all your madden / college uploads and watch every one. It helps me on lunch breaks at work, time before classes, and dinner alone. I see you enjoy cfb and it’s so fun to watch, especially the 5 hour stream videos. I’ll appreciate anything you put out for me to enjoy because your the part that makes them enjoyable

[@Battlefield2021]

Respect the fact that you're just honest and flat out say you don't like Madden, which nobody blames you cause it sucks. I think all of us would rather see you make content you enjoy doing as opposed to clearly not enjoying playing something like Madden.

[@johnzduck]

I love cfb25, the Trenton state titans, and the stream dynasty’s. And I personally don’t play madden anymore since cfb25 came out but I enjoy watching raiders franchise. I do prefer rebuilds over raiders franchise though. Post what you want to post Bengal and I’m sure a lot of us will watch whatever that is.

[@peterhigh98]

If we’re being honest, I think overall for everyone this year has been draining and hasn’t felt right, so having Madden and Raiders franchise not feel right or fun is par for the course. But we as fans I would like to say enjoy just seeing uploads from the channel, or at least I know I do. Bring on the CFB25 content and the mock drafts every week, they are super fun to watch. Overall the channel and Bengal are awesome, and whatever the content is that’s being uploaded is more than enough.

[@coltonpringle5102]

I appreciate you telling it how it is. Madden has been terrible for a long time, but I simply enjoy watching your content. Something that could make it more fun is pairing a college class with a Madden rebuild. At least you could get invested in the players even if the gameplay isn’t fun.

[@scrawn3041]

Bengal, I will always support your content. Even if I don’t enjoy it. Madden content this year has been brutal but I’ve tried to watch all the episodes anyways. CFB is just much much better and you look happier which leads to better content. Love from Europe, Bengal.

[@thebarleycorn8333]

I really hope the madden content doesn't end...I'm not a CFB guy so it would definitely suck

[@williamheller1362]

Nah i am right there with you man. This is the first year in over a decade I haven't bought madden, and I haven't really missed it at all.

[@caps187]

I completely agree with what you’re saying. I’m just as bad at playing the games as you are ( no offense) and I feel the game isn’t all too different from last year accept the fact that I’m winning. I personally love the franchise series and rebuilds series, but do what makes you happy. I’ve been watching since Madden 22 because I love here your takes on football.

[@noneyabusiness7161]

I seriously enjoy your madden series and content. Do what makes you happy but I for one would definitely miss the content

[@solenopsis1]

As a big fan of the raiders franchise and big NFL fan, i get it if you wanna take a step back. But your rebuilds are so elite!! and id love if you’d still keep going with those

[@jakeside89]

Hey Bengal. As a Raiders fan I’ve really enjoyed see you playing with my team but at the end of the day, you’ve got to do what’s right for you. Your enjoyment of the game directly translates in the content. Raiders have been making me feel miserable for years 😂

[@divinedemigod777]

Truly, play what you find enjoyable, sure, there are some scumbags in the comments, but your real fans will follow you no matter what you play. Madden hasnt been fun, dont force yourself to play it, do what you enjoy, we love you no matter what Bengal ❤

[@JKayGaming]

Im just gonna echo what ive seen from a lot of people in the comments, but I think we'd all rather see you do stuff you enjoy doing than basically torture yourself by playing madden. Thats one of the great things a out KZbin being your job is you can really can control what you want to do and content you want to put out. And as long as you're having fun with what youre doing, people are going to vibe with it. The work you put in is appreciated Bengal, thank you for what you do brother!

[@elementsk8er15]

your commentary makes the vids man, do whatever you gotta do. Mind blowing that they didn't try to drastically improve madden with the anticipation of CFB coming out, I thought this had the opportunity to be one of the better maddens of the last decade just because they wouldn't have wanted sales to dip on it because of a new game but then again it is EA worst run on sentence ever but you get it

[@_dmgz3924]

next year, wait until after the trade deadline to pick a team for franchise. during the first half, you should do all the fantasy style rebuilds/cfb content. keep a poll going every week elimination style of the fantasy rebuilt teams that week (until after the trade deadline) for who the community wants to see as the franchise team.

[@ant1038]

Have a feeling this series could get more interesting for you after the season/playoffs are over and you can draft those auto gen rookies. But also I understand when the game just isn’t fun so do whatever is best for you n the channel

[@tylerdaniel3505]

Finish the season, and if you don’t wanna do it anymore I don’t blame you. I’d love to see more rebuilds, or maybe even do a different team for franchise mode ? I like the college football 25 dynasty’s you’ve been doing as well.

[@KPKING_1]

Do whatever vids you enjoy! As long as it is football I will watch!🔥

[@BTJ_Prodz7]

Heres the deal bengal: You either have to play 3 years of this franchise OR finsh Colby Spencers college career, and also play 1 year in the nfl.

[@coltonelledge5131]

Part of what makes you entertaining is the fact that you enjoy yourself. Don’t cater to a minority if your heart isn’t in it man. You’ll figure it out.

[@schiedeljacob]

honestly was super stoked for this franchise after falcons franchise, but can’t say I blame you. the game is genuinely just musty

[@randyh1825]

I have been off and on with it myself but I have been enjoying it again using the older Madden rosters and starting in like 2012 and using all the old draft classes to go along with it. Maybe try doing something similar to C4s retro rebuilds see how it feels. If not no biggie. You do you.

[@devinrietjens9079]

Have you considered doing a fantasy draft franchise? Possibly even a relocation? I feel like that could be a nice change of pace and would spark some interest in you and your audience. I know it certainly would for me!

[@charlesdenko8095]

If the problem is this specific madden, it could be cool to go back and pick your favorite madden game and just make a main series franchise on that. But regardless I'm loving all the content, especially college football 25.

[@damiangrissam6586]

Thank you for uploading this. I know you dislike Madden. But this series is really entertaining

[@stevendurick9441]

I think KZbinrs make their best videos when they are engaged and invested. If you are feeling iffy about this series, it’s probably a sign to send it to an early grave

[@Packitup12]

Just wanted to let you know from a top 1% watcher of yours love and appreciate every video (even if Madden 25 sucks you make it bearable I can’t get through my own franchise)

[@nightryder16]

You're right about ratings not seeming to matter too much. Also I agree it's way too easy to run the ball against teams. Also it seems like player abilities barely do anything. Half the time they don't even seem to engage in the first place to even have a chance to work. Abilties seem nerfed I guess is what I'm saying.

[@mikeball6595]

Well i was really interested to see what rookies you would draft an build around this year😢

[@marmitechris]

Trenton State, CFB Stream Dynasty and Madden Rebuilds would do me just fine. Although I'd love a Madden Stream Franchise where you play the moments too. Just do stuff that makes you happy and we'll come along for the journey.

[@5Starr_Ant_]

just because you are living the dream doesn’t automatically require you to be happy, if doing cfb 25 makes you happy stick to that until madden 26 yk do what makes you happy

[@user-kw4jn1md9l]

Thanks for all you do bengal I really appreciate it

[@Then9002]

Perhaps you could play this franchise like your streamed dynasties. Go through the season with key moments on and let the cpu handle the rest, do the draft, trades, etc manually. That way it’s more of your one off style franchise videos but carried through the whole year. Love all your content regardless, but just a suggestion!

[@ethanparish1102]

Try a team builder franchise? Probably wont do the same numbers but the love for the team brings back the spark. Either way enjoy the videos

[@Jokersouldragon]

@Bengal bro as I see it man you need to do what makes you happy because that’s what we like to see. To be frank I think 95% of people would say madden has sucked for a long time and now 25 is the apex of that suckage. With that said I hope you have fun and I would not fault you stopping after this season. I’m a life long Raiders fan and grew up with the greats so I’m super happy you are doing this franchise because they don’t get much love in the madden community, also tried playing madden and had the same irritation. Much love man

[@danieljackson3319]

Honestly I'm glad you said it to be honest I haven't had fun playing Madden 25 either

[@ElijahTwehues]

Bengal u have inside connection. We need you to tell EA that we need 50/50 balls it would make the game so much more fun. Also pass rush doesn’t affect cpu QBS it’s extremely dumb. Players regress as soon as they hit 30 it’s dumb imo they should make it somewhat random bc look at guys who got better as they aged. it’s frustrating. I love these videos man and i miss lions franchise with reece i think the wr u made an RB it was so exciting. thank you for the content man!

[@snipeydew5577]

i agree that raiders franchise hasn't been as fun to watch and if youre not gonna have fun playing it we wont have fun watching it for the most part. i did think it was really cool how you did the austin desperados after jags franchise and becoming a fired head coach and it might be cool to see something similar here

The fast-paced, multi-season rebuilds are more your style in Madden, just stick with those and let the Raiders die. Your CFB 25 content is fire, Trenton State is a banger. Stick with what works.

Maybe people can’t relate to your exact situation being a content creator but we can all relate to enjoying our jobs when we are doing something we like - would not mind seeing more Trenton state and even rebuilds on CFB25 - even if taking away Raiders franchise means more streams for Kent State dynasty do what you enjoy brother and we will always be here to watch

[@bensimmonsonthebench5325]

[@69Delphine420]

Being a raiders fan isn’t fun either but we show up and we do it. It’s miserable but this is my only time I get to see my team win

[@NextDoorAthlete]

If you end up sticking with doing Madden franchises, what if you gave yourself a handicap....like you can only build a 85 Bears style team. Heavy run. Stellar defense. Then for an extra challenge, no first round picks, and only using left handed QB that you have to trade if he goes over a 75 overall.

[@ant1038]

I’m still on madden 23 but it really seems there’s still certain play types that are simply broken. Outside runs work 1/12 attempts, screen passes are broken, hb draws broken, rpo broken

For what it’s worth, I totally feel you about Madden vs. CFB. I’ve really been enjoying your CFB content because I too have almost completely abandoned Madden for the better game. CFB is just better.

Love all of your videos Bengal. Always find time to watch them!

[@joelottman8577]

play an old madden with updated rosters idk if that would be an idea but i feel like a lot of people would enjoy it still and if you would enjoy it more that would definitely help the series

[@kentwade2780]

I think you should just do rebuilds on Madden 25. Those are interesting to see. Like the generational players, but prioritize cfb

[@NT1D]

Keep doing what ur doing Bengal, I definitely agree that Madden has been mid this year plus the CFB content is much more entertaining, so don't even worry about it. Sidenote, I really enjoyed the MLB the Show content on the other channel, would like to see that more if possible.

[@kylelopez7631]

Fair enough bengal. I dont really watch CFB cause i know absolutely NOTHING about any of it lol. Ill def start at least on this Trenton state everyone is talking about. Please keep doing rebuilds though.

Respectfully, I’m not all that interested in CFB, but I’ll stay tuned into the madden & draft content when it comes. Go do you and upload what you like man, I fully support you on that. Random suggestion, maybe instead of Raiders franchise, you could jump in on a retro madden franchise? Start up the fuck madden 25 train? Idk, could be a fun idea. Regardless, looking forward to the content as it comes, keep up the work man, and fuck anyone who wants to hate on you for it.

This madden has felt SO easy compared to cfb imo. like I struggled like crazy last year in madden and this year is light
