Starting point is 00:00:51 Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? Sometimes I'd be thinking the same thing. Like, what is going on to the point where I realized that. maybe just maybe it's just it's okay to be a casual you know let them enjoy the sports games the ball and gun games and just let them go home because at the end of day when they start speaking about real things that's going on in the game and community as far as what innovative features are uplifting the overall industry they won't be able to speak on it because of course
Starting point is 00:01:22 all they play is ball and gun games so it's okay so you know we're just going to leave them in a little pocket but as far as this review this is me going over Madden 26 official. Gameplay deep dive. So with all that being said, we will be diving to a ball game because, you know, I try to give y'all some type of coverage. I just realized I've never covered Madden like that on my podcast as far as my tenure under Red Circle as far as the platform.
Starting point is 00:01:46 So, yeah, that's interesting. But anyways, so covering all these games, now let's get into one of the most popular games every single year. So let's get into the deep dive for Madden 26. What's up, everyone. Kurt Benkirt here. A lot of you've been asking what's actually different in Madden NFL 26? What's actually different? Starting off with that is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Like, nothing's different. It's the same. Every single year. Trained on nearly a decade of real NFL data, a new AI-powered machine learning system informs all new, coach tendencies, QB signatures, and advanced player traits. With more strategic depth and authentic detail, making every game a distinct and dynamic challenge true to NFL team identities let's take a closer look the team is reimagining quarterback play with new qbdn a adding new levels of detail quality and variety to the most iconic i'm not going to hate
Starting point is 00:02:50 on them i'm just going to say that you know this looks exactly the same as other madness but maybe i'm tripping you know it's not really too much you can do with a sports game so i don't fault them but you know at the end the day i hate when they come with the oh this is so unique man this is just a re-skinned will update the players. Anyway, let's get back into it. Product position in sports. Refreshed passing animations and a variety of all new signature throwing styles for quarterbacks across the game make each one look, move, and feel more like themselves.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Some more detailed signatures are unique to star quarterbacks, like jump throws in the face of pressure by Caleb Williams, stylized backfoot passes for Lamar Jackson and Jaden Daniels, and quick flips on the run for Josh Allen. plus player specific pocket movement signature scramble locomotion unique arm slots and unique footwork fundamentals oh okay i like how they showed that unique arm slots so that breaks it down for the for the casual like me that don't really be playing madden like this so um that's a that's a difference that's so you know that's definitely a different i don't know you know it may be the selling point for some people and unique footwork fundamentals and a new set of 50 advanced
Starting point is 00:04:01 player traits and formed by real on-field player tendency data pushes the fidelity of NFL stars even further. All of it designed to match the real nuanced movements and play styles of the league's quarterbacks. Real NFL coaches bring their strategic minds to game play with Coach D&A. New predictive play call AI built on real coaching data straight from NFL. I love how they keep saying AI. They're letting you know that AI is definitely the future.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Coaching styles like Dan Campbell's fourth down aggression. Kevin O'Connell. Like, hey, guys, we know AI's the future too, so we're going to say it all in our promotion trailer. New dynamic coach suggestions provide play recommendations based on what your team's coach would dial up in specific game situations. And new counterintelligence offers smart play-calling recommendations against opponent tendencies. Hmm. Making it harder for them to succeed when they keep running the same play over and over again. I wonder if that was in the last game or not.
Starting point is 00:04:56 To authentically reflect unique NFL coaching strategies and play-calling tendencies, the team is expanding. playbooks with new shifts, multi-motions, and exotic blitz packages, highlighting more of the specific schemes that define a team's identity, with real-time NFL trends and new, innovative plays to be added throughout the season, physics-based offensive line block steering, and new stunts and twists as strategic depth to your play calling. Wear and terror adds strategy to your roster management, and new dynamic subs lets you swap out fatigue players for fresh legs without... I'm like, I ain't going to cap to you.
Starting point is 00:05:28 I can't take you anymore at this. What in the world? Like, I think y'all should just know that Madden NFL is coming out June 17. Well, it's already out. Is it already out? Hold on release by, no, no, that's the deep dive. When does the actual game come out? So that's the only thing y'all need to know.
Starting point is 00:05:45 So let me see, Madden 26th, official release date. So this game's coming out August 14th, 2025. And it has a three-day early release on August 11th of this year. for those who pre-ordered the deluxe edition. So that's the main thing you need to get out of this. I try to make these short and concise. When they start talking about features that being in the game for 10 years,
Starting point is 00:06:12 I'm like, bro, cut that out. There's nothing unique about, oh, this counterplay is by the AI. Like, you know, if you ever play with your homie and you don't know what play to pick, there's always that option. Or let me just give me a play to go against the other play. So anyways,
Starting point is 00:06:25 that has been said, Madden NFL 26. That's some of the deep dive. Obviously, if you want to watch the rest of the two minutes whatever seconds then you can but you know at the end of day um just no manning NFL 26 will be officially released august 14th and the three day early release uh as far as if you pre-ordered a deluxe edition you would be able to get it three days earlier so august 11th so that being said click my link to share my bio let me know in one of my social medias
Starting point is 00:06:55 are you looking forward to madden 26 and if you're a long time ball and gun gamer that only plays those type of games can you tell me the reason why you prefer NFL NBA street games instead of broadening your palate
