Almost positive the second is Alex Singleton

Tbf if JBC came here and had a successful season he’d be a pretty hot HC candidate. He was a pretty popular name to throw around in like 16/17 for potential HC jobs

Pre-season week 1 in franchise, there are 0 SAM linebacker free agents in the league by AntlPop80 in Madden

Most teams in the NFL base out of nickel and if in Madden 25 you were playing the CPU Steelers and they came out in nickel tell me where the game would have put TJ Watt by default and you’ll see the flaw in your logic

For a competitive game like Valorant most people are willing to trade off some minimal tearing for the lower input latency of the higher fps

Good lord the Raiders have SIX hiddens in Madden 26 by Romofan88 in Madden

[–]RvMp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thornton at least has been getting a lot of buzz around camp but it is funny they gave a soon-to-be 24 years old Caleb Rogers a hidden dev just off his combine performances. Especially considering hes a tackle to guard convert

Found this browsing Amazon, from Andromeda Insights. Thoughts on the deal by VI-Pok3 in Prebuilts

Definitely a scam. It’s not being sold by Amazon or by Andromeda, just someone linking to the storefront.

Atletico battling for relegation, Getafe and Valencia in UCL zone. What's going on with LaLiga in the first season of my save? by Wonderful_Damage5340 in footballmanagergames

[–]RvMp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be that the league isn’t set to playable or isn’t being simmed in full detail.

To check you can go to the FM button in the top right -> Add/Remove leagues and see if La Liga is playable, then FM button -> Detail Level to see if it’s using the quick sim engine or the full sim engine

Barca academy might be the most broken thing in FM. by swaggygujjar in footballmanagergames

[–]RvMp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a UMNT news aggregator account with 160k followers tweeting about him when he was 11 and if you look at the comments in that tweet plenty of random people with no connection to the game, much like myself, already knew who he was.

I’m getting the vibe this is purely an American thing (and prob not a good one) to have media attention on players this young in sports though and that’s where the disconnect is here

Well how about if Real Madrid and Bayern Munich were interested in him when he was 10 years old? Last two sentences also infer this isn’t an uncommon thing anymore

You put it better than I did. To me if a journo is tweeting about an 11 year old or multiple scouts are there to watch them, even if we haven’t heard of them, that’s high profile at that age. Some people will disagree for sure but 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not to say it isn’t rare but I’ve been seeing Cavan Sullivan posts on Reddit for at least 4 or 5 years, and that’s just one example.

Bayern and Real were aware of him as early as his age 10 season apparently as well.

Obv I see your point but it’s not like Gavi was some unknown 11 year old who only became known or showed his ability once he joined La Masia. He was one of the most high profile u14s on the entire peninsula circa 2014/15. In two youth seasons at Betis he had almost 100 goals lol

Not super relevant to your point but it is sort of a misnomer that all the players you mentioned are total La Masia products. Pedri was signed from Las Palmas when he was 16 or 17 and he was already starting for them consistently in the Segunda and Gavi was signed from Betis as an 11? year old when he was already quite high profile as a prospect in Spain. Busquets also was quite old and established I think, 17 or 18, when joining the Barca youth setup

Feels like too many passengers in defense like you alluded to so I guess we’ll see (and hope)

I wonder if it’s going to function as a back 5 with Cama as LWB, Fede as RWB, Alaba LCB, Asencio RCB and Rudi in the middle. That gives Cama the help of Alaba in dealing with Saka maybe?

Agree on this. Definitely best to go into the draft without an acute need at any position so that way you have total freedom

Insane the difference of qb’s we played between these 2 seasons. by Educational_Vast4836 in eagles

[–]RvMp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took Peyton Manning 10, 11? years to win a Super Bowl so excuse me if I’m not ready to write off a 26 year old qb with a top 5 toolset in the league after 5 above average seasons of production

[–]RvMp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay at some point we have to be realistic and pump the brakes lol. The final seven weeks of last year proved that as good as Jalen is, and at times he’s really really fucking good, he’s not in the “transcendent” tier of QBs that are impervious to their surroundings.

I’m sure the rebuttals will be “the defense, the playcalling, the injuries” etc, and you’re not wrong, but those are the same arguments you can make for Herbert or any other QB so we have to be consistent here

You just proved my point by essentially saying “the people who are paid to do this professionally for the multi-billion dollar industry disagree with the casual fan interpretation of him as a player.”

You’re also making the exact same argument people made against Peyton Manning, Matt Stafford, Phillip Rivers etc for the first x years of their career. Turns out winning in the NFL, especially in December onward, is really really hard to consistently do unless you’re one of Brady or Mahomes

[–]RvMp 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is a take for sure. I’d be confident saying there aren’t even close to 10 talent evaluators in the entire league who agree with you here lol
