College Football 25 Dynasty - My 1 Star Program Played a Top 10 Opponent | Ep.3

My first BIG Dynasty in College Football 25 is with the Buffalo Bulls, a 1 star program that has never been ranked higher than #23 and has only won 3 Bowl Games. A big challenge is ahead as I aim to build this program into a college football powerhouse. Recruiting will be a major challenge and the lack of resources will make it tough to rebuild the Bulls. But I've been waiting 11 years for this game, and I'm ready for my newest Dynasty.
In this Dynasty I will play on Heisman difficulty. I will be playing every single game with no simulating. Not every game will get its' own video, but no significant action or important storylines will be missed. I plan to spend many years trying to build the Bulls into the best team I can.

I was pleasantly surprised that this wasn’t a 4 interception game Cane 😅

[@TheTrenchcoatNinja]

people always trash you for picks and stuff but i gotta say, you played exceptionally well in this game. pretty much perfect quarterbacking and playcalling here, just one play away from a chance for a win. great video btw!

[@Ayeee155]

While I think the mockery for picks is all love and in good fun, I agree that this was some really sharp gameplay by Cane. Had a really good gameplay to compensate for the talent gap between UB and a stout Mizzou team. I see some upsets from the Bulls coming this season.

[@eddiemachete6680]

@@Ayeee155strangely enough Cane has always thrived with quarterbacks that are limited passers. He really seems at home in a scaled back offense that doesn’t necessitate anticipation.

[@Angrychef-jx8bp]

I think he’s adjusting well from the “pro” Madden perspective to this quick college game

[@suckafool123]

@@Ayeee155part of it is All Madden in Madden just makes it ridiculously easy for the AI to come up with picks, and combine that with Canes 3 or 4 bad reads a game and you get the Cane interception memes lol

[@kamekazitony]

Only bad qb play was 2 missed first down opportunities on second to last drive

[@manband20]

Gameplay in this game is infinitely more fun than Madden. I don't care that the sliders might not be lower or that he mostly ran screens and dump-off passes, I'm just happy to see an actual passing game on this channel again.

[@MozartRice]

I like watching his streams because he actually plays competitive games. Some of these streamers take a one star school and go undefeated year one which is totally unrealistic. Like seeing the struggle and the build. You will always be the top guy at this IMO

Nick McMillan is turning into my favorite buffalo wideout

[@m2b2gaming20]

He's the man. He's crushing it in his senior year for me. So reliable

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

CJ Ogbonna is a large man, but he looks positively wilted now. His 6'2" frame has managed to tuck itself away almost back into his locker as he sits in front of it, pads and jersey still on even as most of his teammates were undressed, he looks shell shocked. "What do you want me to say, I know I shouldn't have been surprised at this point but I just...I thought we had it, things were unfolding that way I guess." He shrugs, before leaning back and crossing his arms. "I've been with this school for 4 years, I remember watching every major college program pass on me, I know how to take a punch but this...I dunno man. " When I asked him if taking on a ranked school and nearly winning felt like a moral victory in of itself, CJ looks offended. "No, a loss is a loss, plain and simple. I've seen a lot of them, and tommorow this one is just going to blend in with the rest, I just know it." How does Adam Cain break a cycle of failure that seems to have gripped his football program at every level? How do you undo a losing culture? I'll try to ask him that the next time he's out golfing. -Sam Stensgaard

[@slimmdusty8809]

Hate to be that guy but CJ ogbonna transferred to Buffalo, committed there in 2023.

[@Jcoch_27]

​@@slimmdusty8809 I wish Sam knew this when he was asking him questions. Would've made for a funny interview.

[@THEEJoeSmith]

Regaarding this letter it was EXCELLENT

[@chinopinowarrior9022]

Coach Cain had a great gameplan to use the screen game as an extension of the run and Ogbonna executed very well and had some highlight-worthy scrambles to boot! This week's loss is as good as last week's win was bad lol

[@nicholasbuffone175]

26:45 I am genuinely upset that Brogan Froholdt is such a longshot for us, because holy crap, that is an absolutely incredible name for a linebacker. May or may not eventually steal that for a Road To Glory playthrough or something.

[@DolFan316]

He is now Hjalte Froholdt's brother, I just made it official series canon. 😎

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

This teams strikes me as capable of winning 9 or 10 games this year, but taking a step back next year after all the seniors leave.

[@dgrice]

What a game! Cane with maybe his best play calling I have seen. Maybe should of used the QB’s legs a little more in the 2nd half. Love this series

[@skyygoro]

New Cane video dropped, babe. He's churning out the content ❤

[@palestalemale8831]

I’m a little late. But Mr.hurricane this is so awesome I’ve watched and supported you for so long, I’m from Buffalo and now finally I get a hometown rebuild from you, Christmas came early for me 😁😁 you’re the best keep it up 👍🏻

[@HiddenPanths]

Nothing was more unexpected than that first half ass whooping

[@jtphog9711]

Definitely would’ve stayed with the RPO/screen game late. You would’ve had to be in hurry up because of the time crunch but with the talent disparity the straight drop back game is always gonna be difficult to overcome. Another great video, looking forward to the rest of the season!

[@Jcoch_27]

Absolutely wild to go from beating Maine by 5 to nearly beating ¹⁰Mizzou on the road on national television

[@LarsLoveToMosh]

Haven't seen the Video but judging by the Thumbnail, it went as expected 😅

[@evanderflowbeill]

Man I thought they were going to slap us all up n down the field but our guys kept it competitive and that got me excited! Good play from Ogbonna, #2 and #6 this offense looks pretty solid already.

[@HiddenPanths]

JJ Jenkins is an absolute elite football name

[@CarbonComs]

Play has matched it so far

[@timlett99]

I think this video and game specifically is a good showing of how this game has its flaws, some bigger than others but generally speaking EA actually got it right. Genuinely haven’t felt this way about a game since NCAA14. Edit: Shoutout Eric Pacheco, he’s from where I currently work! 203 stand up!!

[@slimmdusty8809]

Its clear this team goes as far as CJ ogbanna goes, without him this team would be in much worse shape, gonna be a tough replacement.

[@megamuffin15]

What an effort for UB. Making SUNY proud.

[@nahhfam7678]

Did the coaching staff have any comments regarding the local Buffalo media's treatment of cornerback MacCartheren's performance after being burned for a touchdown as well as two major mistackles lsading to a score?

[@steaglesfan5686]

Keep using screens

[@ToyeCalvin91]

Quality loss if there ever was one!

[@chrishisey4134]

Day, idk i lost count, of wanting Cane to pick a 1 star school as a coordinator, only play that side of the ball and work his way up to be head coach of bigger schools through the coaching carousel!! Lol

[@jadrainscurry2972]

Considering he played well against SEC play the MAC shouldn’t but that difficult

[@scorpioking3643]

Hey, nothing wrong with adding walk-ons...they might blossom.

[@wrtrext]

My first couple years with UConn I didn’t bother scouting players, instead focusing on trying to get bodies in while my coach leveled up and make scouting easier. I have no idea what I’m doing, but I have managed to get one 4 star 3 years in a row and a bunch of 2-3 stars, so the team is looking pretty good for year 5. Year 4 I’ve been scouting players since the outgoing seniors/needs aren’t in the 20’s, so I can focus on going after quality players vs bodies to replace 29 players on list those transferring away.

[@metrojohnny]

also im having great results with injury slider at 32

[@phinsog586]

Close one man, what a video to watch on my lunch break😂

[@corybye5958]

I’m glad to see the end of the game came down to a within fingertips of an overthrown ball, instead of a bad or unnecessary interception. That game was played perfectly, nothing to be ashamed Buffalo!!! You played your hearts out!!!

[@JesseMalia]

I noticed something incredibly interesting, I had a QB who I mostly throw bombs with and after 3 years his medium and deep accuracy has gone up a ton but his short hasn’t changed, super unique addition to player progression

[@Reality_jj]

I still don’t know if I should play with placement or revamped passing. I want it all to be ratings based.

[@Magikpineapple]

Easy Bulls win calling it now

[@Ldiggs85]

Don’t want to spoil this video for anyone, but besides that, it was great to see this game against Mizzou being close for entertainment purposes but with all due respect, it would’ve been ok for it to not be a super close game but somewhat close. I personally want this series to be challenging because it’s a dynasty rebuild and rebuilds in my opinion are supposed to be a challenge. I will also mention that some sliders like receiver catching could be adjusted since it’ll make the game look a bit more realistic. That’s just my opinion. But besides that, I’m excited to watch this series and hopefully it’ll be a good one.

[@PurpleLightning6was9]

If just one of those many dropped picks were caught, I think this would be a Buffalo upset. But even still, this is one of those games you look back on later in life and say, "Yeah, no one believed in us, but we gave them hell."

Impressive lost that pocket presence was next level for CJ

[@zztwig1]

Might not have gotten the win but hey we played them tough they had to earn it hoping to see sperling get a chance in the backfield soon and a shoutout to the defense you played a heck of a game who knows maybe if we get those picks this one turns out different

[@benstanzell1197]

Hey guys! I set up my depth chart by the squad depth I thought was best, primarily by highest overalls per position. However when I play games, some players are starting or getting a lot of playing time that are not top in their position in the depth chart. For example, there is a freshman LE that plays nearly every snap in game at DT, however, when I look at the depth chart that player is not even in my top 10 at DT position. No matter what I am doing there are players playing and players not playing, that do not reflect my custom depth chart. how may this be fixed Both. And the depth chart and changes I make to it in the hub screen, before games, is accurately reflected to my in game depth chart, however, it does not translate to the actual game time and rotation that happens Basically it says my depth is what I've set it at, but it chooses different players to play I different positions that I have not assigned. Like, I have freshman LE that consistently is getting reps at DT over a 88 overall DT??? In my depth chart, in the hub and in game, the LE is wayyyy down on the roster yet still gets his reps over the better plays out of position

[@flyingblind5677]

It’s gonna be hard to replace CJ, he had an awesome game

[@HeavensFrogman]

Never mind the missed deep ball at the end of the game; Ogbonna's efforts in this game were heroic.

[@coleaycock2523]

Out of curiosity why don’t you switch to the nearest defender when you play defense? I noticed you control the defensive lineman but when the RB or WR breaks away you don’t switch to another defender

[@alecpatterson6271]

The cpu playcalling desperately needs updated. Its especially bad in rtg. Its annoying also because they finally have new play concepts in these playbooks unlike madden

[@moneyman5eva]

22:20 you held the button down too long.

Cane you might want to turn your injuries slider up to 50. I went through two full seasons with my injury slider at 25 and had no players miss games because of injury

Anyone else finding that the scores are low in their dynasty? I have it on 6 minute quarters but might need to bump it up.
