Yo, what's going on everybody?
We are at the official Madden at Midnight launch event.
What's poppin'? It's your boy Wolfie.
Lucas and Marcus.
Peter McKinnon here.
John Nurse.
Christopher London.
Cash Nasty.
Faze Censor.
Yo, it's LSK.
I'm pretty hype for Madden this year, man.
I like the Mutt Squads.
Mutt Squads is fun.
Play with my roommates.
And, yeah, I'm looking forward to this year.
Yo, what's good, brother?
Cash Nasty.
You know where we at, man.
You gotta show love to EA, baby.
I'd say this year I'm most hyped for...
I just like Mutt, period.
I like opening packs up.
I like seeing the new graphic designs.
I'm just addicted to packs, dawg.
Are you guys even going to touch the campaign mode
or are you guys just straight to multiplayer?
Yeah, just multiplayer for me.
I love your story mode, bro.
Bro, get it.
I'm sorry, wrong card.
I love it, dude.
I played...
I think I played it almost like 70% almost done.
I love it, dawg.
Are you surprised it took that long for a football game
to come out with a story mode?
Yes.
Hey, better late than never.
What's going on, guys?
I am here with one of the main developers
of Madden 18, Mike Young.
It's the first time that a football game
has ever in history had a story mode.
Tell us about it.
So Longshot is Madden's first ever story mode
and it plays like a campaign mode.
It's a four or five hour experience.
We shot it to feel like a playable movie.
It's got an amazing Hollywood cast.
There's not even a single NFL game in this mode.
You are in high school and college
and it's a story about getting to the NFL.
It's a mode that's welcoming more people to Madden
because Madden has traditionally been kind of intimidating.
You know, for a second,
I thought that was the player right here.
That's an NFL player right there, guys.
Well, Chad Ochocinco is actually in Longshot.
I'm sorry.
I love you, man.
I was still in the guy here.
I thought this was you.
Is that me?
No, that's Devin Lane.
Good, how you doing?
Good?
Good to see you, man.
What's poppin' is your boy Wolfie,
aka Light God, aka King Wolf, aka more Wolfie.
You already know what it is.
What I'm excited about Madden 18,
it's about hit-sticking.
That hit-stick, that wind, though.
Because you know your boy always comes with the heat, too.
What's up, everybody?
Peter McKinnon here and I'm excited for Madden
because I suck at sports in real life,
but this makes me not suck because that's not real life.
So, super pumped, woo!
My name's Sean Durst and I want to play Madden
so I can get a touchdown.
Yo, we playing three-on-three Mutt Squad.
Last year, even, it was only one versus one.
Now it's three versus three.
But the good thing is I got two of the best gamers
on my team.
I got LSK, I got Phase One.
But you guys are really good gamers for not this game.
Not this game, NBA Live.
NBA Live.
What games are you good at?
Call of Duty.
It's the only game I'm good at.
The only game you're good at is Call of Duty.
And I'm not even a gamer YouTuber.
I'm a comedian.
Talk about Asian culture.
So, let's go.
It's over for this other team.
Yo, thanks for coming.
Oh!
All right, good shit, good shit, good shit.
I can feel the excitement, though.
It feels like a real football game right now.
Yo, David, man, we pulling a sneak attack.
You hoppin' on the sticks real quick, man.
All right, all right.
If we were gonna give the people watching
one tip to win at Madden,
straight from the champ himself, what is it?
Put in the time.
You gotta grind.
If you wanna be good at something,
you gotta put in the time.
Don't just think it's gonna be handed to you.
You gotta work for it.
What about more like a tactic?
And just learn the ins and outs
of that one formation all year.
Hey, Rhonda, we just wanted to say what's up, man.
Congratulations on the W right here.
Easy.
I'm one of the best Madden players ever.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Excellent.
That's what he said.
Shout out to Cash Nasty.
I was telling David, I said,
yo, I saw Cash Nasty when he lost
and he was really like.
He wasn't even.
They take it to the heart, man.
Gamers, that's what they do.
So when they took the L, it hurt.
What do you think so far about the game?
I love it.
I like that they brought back the fluidity
of the running back cuts.
There's no last year, the running back cuts.
They took that out.
Yeah, but the year before,
I can make a tough cut from one hand to the other hand.
Which I like.
So this year, just the fluidity of the cuts, I love.
How serious do NFL players take their rankings in Madden?
Very serious, man.
Every week, we go online and see if our rating
increase or went down.
So, it'll be a God-blessed time playing the game.
Maybe not.
The Madden rating's going down this week.
How was your rating this year?
Were you happy with it?
No.
Straight from Snap.
93.
The atmosphere here at the Madden at Midnight event
had been crazy.
And it makes sense,
because Madden has been the king for years.
The graphics are crazy.
It's almost like you're watching the game itself.
Yo, what's going on, man?
Bumped into Justin Ryan Kim.
He's a producer at High Snobiety.
The Asian hypebeasts are also at the Madden 18 event.
Always.
Forever.
I'm here with the Fat Jewish at the Madden 18 event, man.
Yes.
Shout out to Fun Bros.
Who wants a f***ing lap dance?
Can you talk about the gaming culture?
How is it different, I guess,
from like the main football fans?
Well, I tell you what,
when I was on my radio show this year at one point,
we kind of stumbled on the e-sports phenomenon.
I learned not only how big it is,
but from sports gaming to whatever it is,
people need to understand
that this is where everything's going.
You want to be interactive.
People want to be able to be a part of the game
instead of just watch the game.
Being an ESPN for so long,
I didn't like the fact that people are just watching.
Yeah, I like to be interactive.
So being a part of EA Sports soon,
I'm thrilled that I'll get to be
very, very close with the production.
You saying that the next version
is going to be called Coachman 19 instead of Madden?
I'm like a marketing guy.
I'm a guy that always thinks about
how can you make it bigger, better, more realistic?
And to me, there's still a lot of things
that Madden can do to get better.
If you look at the graphics, the things that they've added,
but to me, you could add more halftime shows,
bigger halftime shows, more marketing within the game,
things of that nature that I think
that I can help down the road with.
I just turned in my Madden 18 launch ticket
to the registration.
Man, I'm excited to get a prize.
I feel like the coolest thing
was getting to meet everybody.
You feel like a young kid again.
Oh, shoot, thank you.
Huge shout out to EA Sports, man.
Here we are at the, this, man.
I gotta come over and help my boy, D,
how to play the game.
Yeah, you gotta show me.
I think, you know what it is?
I can practice now.
I think the thing that really struck me
was just how realistic the gameplay was.
What they really were able to capture
was sort of the atmosphere of a football game.
The graphics in this game are unbelievable.
It was such an amazing event to be in New York City.
There's so many big names here,
from people from the sports world
to the music world to the YouTube world,
which obviously we're a part of.
Madden at midnight in New York City.
That's it, man.
My major takeaway is that
if you remotely like football at all,
you need to check out Madden 18
because the game is crazy.
Thank you so much for watching this video.
Make sure you check out Madden 18.
It's dropping August 25th.
And until next time, we're out.
Peace.
Man, huge shout out to EA Sports, though, man.
Madden, Madden.
They showing love.
Yo, they are really showing a lot of love.
And I can see why Madden has been the king
and will continue to be the king.
Since 1988, get that right.
1988, they've been doing this.
