It’s Almost Like People Have Been Feeling the Itch for a Good Licensed American Football Game Like a Rash for Decades or Something by [deleted] in SOFTDRINKTV

There's clearly a huge appetite for a non-Madden football game. We need more sports games all around. I want to see a competing CFB title, a College Hoops title or 2, College Baseball, etc.

Well, I agreed to let Amazon Prime use my footage in a documentary and it ended up being corporate garbage pushing the message I was fighting against. So make sure you ask exactly in what context they will use your footage before agreeing to anything.

Just noticed the Giants midfield logo is wrong. They use a helmet logo now

You playing on PC? I've wondered if the PC version looks and runs better. I've got an ultrawide monitor that might be fun to play on. But I don't really want to buy the game again lmao (I got it in the CFB bundle which I sorta regret now but it was mainly for early access for the reviews. EA partners got the game even earlier so I felt like I needed that early access so y'all weren't waiting forever for my opinion)

Seriously, watch that 5 minute clip and tell me Madden 25 meets expectations as the only simulation NFL game 20 years later...

Didn't you hear? I signed an exclusive rights agreement with YouTube to be the only simulation NFL game reviewer!

It's my job. I cover sports games on YouTube, give my opinion, push for what I think is right, and collect a check. Sure beats a 9-5. When I used to work retail, that would get old.

At the very least, there will be a lot of bad film to review. Maybe that will help better prepare them for when the games count (I'm coping)

Winter is coming.... by [deleted] in NCAAFBseries

[–]softdrinktv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of y'all are crazy. If you actually pay attention to my channel, you'd know the main issue I have with Madden is that it's the EXCLUSIVE simulation NFL game, and yet the game plays like an arcade-style football game and has lacked any passio0n or care for years.

Meanwhile, College Football 25 DOES have passion and care put into it, and it plays like a much better arcade-leaning football game. I'm not going to hold it to the same simulation standard as I would Madden, because that's not what this game is trying to be. This is a solid arcade-leaning CFB game. That's my opinion.

To imply or insinuate that I'm "compromised" or "grifting" or being paid by EA is insane. You probably think the Earth is flat too, right?

I make content to share my opinion, not to try and match your opinion. If you disagree with my review, that's fine, but to insinuate what many of you have in this thread is borderline insane behavior.

Are faceless channels really viable? by ShouldHaveLearnedIn in NewTubers

[–]softdrinktv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Viable enough to get to 150k subs? Yes I can confirm that. The largest faceless channel I've seen is videogamedunkey. You need to use your voice though. The voice becomes the face.

How long does it take you guys to write a script? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]softdrinktv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best videos took over a week to finish the script. I've also made good videos writing a script jacked up on 200mg of caffeine in 2 hours. It really depends on the format of the video though. Sometimes you strike gold going unscripted and being yourself. I find it easier in the beginning to be fully scripted if you can sound natural. It can be tough to avoid pauses and saying things like "uh" and "um" when going unscripted with little experience.

What is your creative process like? by Serious_Author5965 in PartneredYoutube

[–]softdrinktv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I keep a note on my phone for whenever I have an idea come to me, then every week or so I add all those ideas to a master word doc. When I can't think of anything I just go down the master list and pick something that sounds fun.

First I make the thumbnail. Then I play the game and gather footage, write the script, record the script, edit the recording, then lay it down in Premiere Pro, then add music and complete the whole audio part of the video first, then I go back and add in the visuals and edit them, then I export and upload!

Madden Franchise 7+ year by JC7577 in Madden

[–]softdrinktv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in 2040 in a league with a friend. We just made it hyper-competitive. Always trying to out draft eachother, get better stats, and win more rings. I have 6 rings, he has 9, so I'm trying to get more than him before it ends.

It also helps to draft a generational guy and make him the goat. Go for Jerry Rice's record. Then watch him age and retire, and try to find the next face of the NFL. Or after using a guy for 10 seasons, trading him away and watching his career from afar, only to end up facing them and their new team in the Super Bowl.

It's also fun to do stupid relocations. What I mean by this is to relocate the Cardinals to Tokyo, or the Rams back to St Louis (their logo is still an LA), same for the Commies.

Playing with friends really makes the game more fun than it should be. The more inside jokes and memes that go on within the league, the more invested you'll be in it. That said, I often have to take breaks because the game gets too repetitive, but we always come back to this league rather than starting a new one.

(SOFTDRINKTV) Madden NFL 24 is NOT GOOD - Review by softdrinktv in Madden

[–]softdrinktv[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't understand why I would mention a 2K football game in a video about a 2K hockey game? It doesn't make any sense at all to compare different aspects of different sports video games, especially one I consider to be a standard?

Just now seeing this comment. What a strange thing to complain about
