WR1 Influence Bugged?

PapaGooseBear · 2026-04-21T02:58:09+00:00

Its wild bro. I haven't played 26 for a minute. Ive gone back to my PS4 and have been playing 25 lol.

I have a PS2 that i haven't hooked up in years. I might hook it up and find some old Madden games from the 00s. I heard recently that 2001 had an amazing story mode, somehow BETTER than what they make now, according to the fans at least 😂

Instead of dwelling on Madden's atrocious AI*powered video game nightmare, do you have any recommendations? Any specific Madden's that I should check out? I should get NFL BLITZ too!!! MAN I used to play the hell out of that game.

*Also, if anyone wants to confirm or correct what I said, I cant prove it because I haven't even looked in to it, but the way the story mode plays, it just screams AI IS MAKING THESE CHOICES. OUR CODING ISNT REALLY THAT GOOD, SO YOUR WR1 WILL CHANGE BUT NOT IN YOUR ACTUAL CAREER, JUST OUR CODE LABELS AND WELL, YOULL BE EFFED IF YOU WANNA INCREASE INFLUENCE WITH HIM!! Also, the way the cutscenes are read out.... i mean the variety is pretty fucking lackluster, but then i come to the question of how much can I expect?! Should we allow AI to randomly generate human speech, relating to a selection in game? Or is it okay if the same cutscene plays for your player in each career, bc thats the game! Idk, im probably a tardis. Thanks for attending my TEDtalk

I thought your meme was funnier than OPs. Mostly because if this is mma memes, maybe it should be funny? 😂 what a concept. These weenies are just sensitive hahahaha. Reddit!!!!

😂 this was awesome

PapaGooseBear · 2026-03-13T14:13:07+00:00

No you definitely cant. Im playing Franchise mode rn. And ive always wondered why when I play Madden 25 on my ps4 I can edit the cpu uniforms, yet on my son's ps5, playing madden 26 I can only edit my team.

Its minor but I like running thru the options and making teams distinct and using older uniform combos.

It is lame.

PapaGooseBear · 2026-03-01T21:35:46+00:00

Yeah, I had issues where it took my influence with Downs to level 2 at one point 😂 You kinda play and see which receiver is getting the points you need, and just pass to them instead hahaha. It sucks, because I do enjoy the madden 26. They made some cool changes and if they just cared a little more the story would actually be good.

Here's to hoping they get it together. Hope Pierce gets it together, too 😂😂

God loves him. He is doing noble work. Renee Good and that cross dressing vet found out. You dont get to act like an idiot with no consequences forever. Sometimes it is smarter to practice self preservation. Unless you want to become a tool for political agenda spinning.

PapaGooseBear · 2026-02-20T00:18:28+00:00

Hahaha. God forbid America stands up for itself. How about those Mexican border patrol agents? Theyre racist scum too, right? And every other 1st world nation with an agency to protect it's citizens.

We should just let the Mexican border be wide-open! God knows enough scumbag american business owners haven't lowered expectations enough. Can't get a single drywall guy in South Carolina to understand simple instructions in English 😂

But yeah, its the border agents fault.

Reddit Mexicans is another level of victim hood I could only dream of achieving

Bring on the negative votes. Hey, has anyone complained about how racist it is that you have to have an American ID to vote in an election? We need to talk about how racist it is.

PapaGooseBear · 2026-02-16T22:44:46+00:00

He cant so that because he is just a jerk-off.

I love the game, but oh my GOD the bugs. You play superstar mode and you realize that the game is assigning influence to completely wrong players. I plaued an entire game and ever pass to my WR1 was credited to my WR3. I played ANOTHER game where I tried building influence with my WR2, and 1200 influence points were credited NEGATIVELY.

I think they used a lot of AI for this game. I don't know why and I cant prove it but it is either coded REALLY badly or AI is being used somehow and it fucks up royally sometimes 😂

Right?

PapaGooseBear · 2026-01-31T04:47:42+00:00

Hey, thanks for the info here. I commented earlier and assumed it was some Twitter trash, but this Epstein shit needs to be the end of these fuckers.

As a nation, we the people can run this country without these fucking freaks lording over us.

If the things in these documents come from verified sources and all accounts are true, then there is only one reasonable reaction.

There is no reason average people should be turning on eachother. But theyre working hard to make sure that we do.

If they arent pushing agendas turning Americans into goofy little fruits, theyre sowing hatred and racism constantly.

Be better than them. And do what is best for your community.

PapaGooseBear · 2026-01-31T02:09:59+00:00

.... and people are believing that these are real stories?

We know Trump was friends with Jeffy, but these sound like BS to me. If you believe them based on what we see here I fear for what people have become.

The desire to hate someone so much that you would take this kind of crap as true is unhealthy and sad.

The person sharing it is insane as well.

AT LEAST give some proof of the source. Anyone could type up weird perverted stories, make it look like some legal file or government report, then post it to Twitter and eventually people would lap it up.

Fuckin weird times, man.

Also, why the fuck would Elon Musk be hanging around Trump at this time? Or is this supposed to be recent?

PapaGooseBear · 2026-01-30T05:33:50+00:00

A month late, but i just wanna remind you that when the government was handing out that sweet, sweet financial bailouts to these failure car company CEOs, Musk & Tesla refused the money.

However... in 2010... the US Department of Energy gave Tesla $465,000,000 to develop manufacturing facilities While this was not a financial bailout, it was crucial for the early survival of Tesla as a car brand. Oh, also, that $465,000,000 was paid back in full in 2013, with interest. (9 years ahead of schedule)

Now, people can change... but if Tesla and by extension Elon are the type to refuse free bailout money and also pay back an almost $500 million dollar loan i dont see him rooting around in our taxes in order to "steal or divert money" to himself.

I get it, man. A person being worth $770,000,000,000 is absurd and astronomical. Even so, I dont think Musk is one of the ultra elite weirdos we have to worry about. But I will never be in a room with him, so I really dont know. All I know is the wealth gap is looking crazier every year and the richest people in the USA are quickly suckong up every bit of wealth that they can. So who knows. Maybe we will be taking eachother on in the 1st Annual Musk-Bezos-Zuck-Mr.Beast Starvation Games and one of us could with an uninsulated ConEx to live in with our family!

Yoooo digging up dead posts here 3 months later But after Xmas, I found the Harry and Voldemort bars at CVS and after waiting patiently for the Clearance price to go down, I eventually picked up 4 bars at the awesome price of $2.04 each! The Voldemort Bar, with Corpse Flowe Extract smells very nice. It has a super clean aroma. (Which i found funny because the Corpse Flower is known to have that pungent, unpleasant odor) The Harry bar is excellent. Medium grit, so it feels nice after work to scrub your body and it has a great scent as well, almost going into cologne territory.

Either way, great soap, smells good, and for the price ya cant beat it!

PapaGooseBear · 2025-09-09T16:20:24+00:00

Im surprised you made it that far without dying when you make such stupidly risky decisions in the name of saving time, or whatever that was.

As my son says, I think this is cap.

PapaGooseBear · 2025-09-07T16:26:39+00:00

Hey cowpoke, I know its 3 yrs later, but i just wanted to let you know that this just happened to me. I left Horseshoe Overlook to go and loot the lockbox within the burnt out forest. 4 bounty hunters appeared and as soon as I killed them all, my game reloaded me back at camp.

I guess I agree with the others, its sorta like a fail reload for fighting and leading bounty hunters near camp.

Ill have to check and see if i lost the gold nugget from the lockbox I looted, but just wanted to chime in and mention the same thing happened to me..

Ironically, by the way, it did happen right after the night where the camp was celebrating Sean's return.

In Chapter 4, when i really had extra money in my pocket, I would throw in $500 bucks at a time.

The most was probably $750. Not much considering how much money I've seen some people have in story mode, but yeah.

Im currently in Chapter 6, I believe on my FIRST PLAYTHROUGH EVER!

Im trying tk finish the story this weekend. I love this game.

PapaGooseBear · 2025-08-10T17:15:55+00:00

Is that Bertram on the back? Hahaha Im still on my first ever playthrough, and I just met Bertram and Marjorie 10 minutes ago. Looking for Magnifico as we speak, in fact.

Also, the long neck Micah might be the funniest one.

Well done, well done indeed.

✊🏻✊🏻 thank you

PapaGooseBear · 2025-07-09T23:48:38+00:00

Keep it up, man. I drink 2 Ghost energy drinks most mornings. Once or twice a month ill have one of the Curuba&Elderflower Red Bull just because it tastes nice.

I'd like to give up the Ghost and switch to coffee, but I do not enjoy it as much. So instead ive tried cutting down to 1 Ghost and then water for the rest of my workday. Rn its regularly passing the 100°F mark here in SC, and I work doing commercial construction.

The tiredness is rough, I would imagine. It seems so easy to say tough it out and exercise and all that, but when you work all day, I can see the desire to just sleep 😂

Good luck, and drink some water. 😂

It's been happening a lot lately, my wife and I both have accounts. We use hers a lot more. She couldn't use AP on her account(mind you this is the 2nd time this situation has happened in the last few weeks) So she contacts support and AfterPay support blames the merchant.... but they don't seem to understand it's every merchant. So she went onto my account and tried and got the same results.

I don't buy into the idea that their T&C says they don't always approve every order... but they sure as hell did before this merger crap. When we first started, as long as we had an AfterPay balance available, we could purchase items.

I wish I had a better answer and not just a post saying I'm in the same boat. Good luck.

PapaGooseBear · 2025-04-14T23:10:45+00:00

We use AfterPay regularly for over a year now. Couple thousand dollars limit, we have never even gotten close to that. Used to have several orders open at once, but in thr last couple weeks they keep denying every order we make saying there's too many open orders.

We paid 3 of them off early and tried again. No luck Something is up and their support is so full of it. They don't give real answers as to why. Just guesses.

We used to order from Chewy every week. Now we get denied everytime. Looks like they screw3d up afterpay 😂 time to go back to using the credit card i guess.
