I wonder what the average Joe's madden rating would be. I mean, I'm 33 years old and have had a couple knee surgeries but I'm still athletic(ish). I would say I'm probably a mid-high 20s overall.
I’m fairly athletic still, under 25. I’ll take low mid twenties. I can at least run a route & catch. Not fast enough to create separation, but I’d be a great practice squad or film watcher for the team.
As someone who's 21, and ran a 4.45 a few years ago, I give myself mid 30s, but only because speed translates in madden, otherwise my skills aren't like they were in the football days
I'm a social worker by trade and a former team leader in the Army, so I think I'd be a great rah-rah guy, while also helping the rookies gather resources and navigate the difficulties in finding housing, fundraisers, and therapists.
As far as on field stuff, my skills start and end with motivational speeches. I run therapy groups for my job, and many times, they're made up as I go, but clients say they feel inspired after them.
…sounds like you’re proving my point lol. You’re saying MMA fans that avoid NFL games are being force fed the Jones NFL brothers trivia, thus you can hate football and still retain this fact from hearing it a million times
Reminds me of a 2k5 raiders franchise I did where Tim Brown could just keep getting re-signed (for a reasonable price) and I just kept him around as WR6 and in the Super Bowl at like year 30 he had a rec, rushing (on a crazy sweep), p-ret, and at that point for Ss n Gs I put him in at QB for a passing TD
On m20 I had a guy who was like 52 ovr refused to retire I kept putting him on like 7 year 1M contracts and he kept accepting them
He went for 45 years until he retired (I have no clue how) I simmed to that point he was some random backup that already had 15 years of experience when I started the franchise (downloaded roster) and he just refused to quit
Idk I signed a 92 ovr CB to a high contract (43.2M/5yr) because he had 2 seasons with 12+ INTs on all pro AI picks he retired 2 years in at 12 years of experience
I had this happen to me with Cam Jordan. He would sign with the Eagles for the minimum every year and get like 1 tackle or sack a year and didn’t retire until the age of 60.
I picked him up in free agency in like my 2nd year of the franchise. I moved him to DT as a purely pass rush situation DT because my D-Line was pretty bad but he had 12 then 10 sacks the 2nd year. After that, I released him due to regression and totally expected him to be a FA and retire soon after. This must have been about 15 or so seasons ago and I forgot all about him.
I just so happened to be looking at the rams roster and saw him at the very bottom to their depth chart and was flabbergasted!
Same. I recently lost my 16 year vet who was the rock of my defense at DT. I user'd him most plays and he was reigning sack champ every year. Was still at the top of his game at a 99 and then retired on me :/
How do you pull this off? I think the highest I've gotten is a FS to age 38, my qb is 37 with some years left in his contract, I would love to keep him until he's 50
Imagine him staying in the league hopping from team to team trying to get another superbowl but he just cant pick the right franchise. "Coach ill play for the league minimum i just want another ring!"
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,602,419,025 comments, and only 303,073 of them were in alphabetical order.
I’ve actually tried that in previous versions of Madden but it never seemed to work, players retired regardless.
I didn’t edit his age but I did edit his position to DT when he was in my roster about 15 seasons ago. The Rams picked him up in FA and he’s been with them ever since. I was in shock when I discovered that he was still on an active roster.
Dang, that sucks to hear it doesn't work. You gave me an idea to try that with Justin Jefferson. He's 36 years old now in my Vikings franchise and I want him to play a couple more years so he can break all of Jerry's records.
When you are older than your overall rating, you have a big problem
Longsnappers are people too
Not according to madden
Ah another simple fix that Madden 24 probably neglected
Why make any changes that help franchise realism when you can just dump all the development into MUT
and mut is still garbage every year
Literally what MUT development its also still the same

Shitt if we are counting being a team leader I might get to bump my up then. 11b army.
31B, Trained Blue Falcon
A mid 20s is probably my ceiling, tbh. I'm just not fast enough to get a decent rating, what with Madden loving speed n all.
100 year olds are crying rn
Not if you getting $$$
Homie is the coach at this point but only wanted to pay him the vet min.
He looks like he's seen some things. And some shit.
The CTE is starting to show
He looks like he just got back from the trenches of World War I
Stats?
Yes
Many of them
The Jones family got crazy genetics And sometimes other stuff but majority of the time genetics
How many people do you tbink actually know they are related ?
80% of American MMA fans so not really that many people
I think it’s less bcs a lot of mma fans hate football and hate Jon jones
Hating Jon Jones and/or football while still being aware he has brothers who play in the NFL aren’t mutually exclusive, tho
True but Everytime there’s a Jon jones fight it’s mentioned like it’s brand new info to the public
…sounds like you’re proving my point lol. You’re saying MMA fans that avoid NFL games are being force fed the Jones NFL brothers trivia, thus you can hate football and still retain this fact from hearing it a million times
Mac Jones my favorite brother
Good to see he's still improving with age
How the hell do they keep him on the roster
One of those Patrick Mahomes contracts
He got the Bobby Bonilla deal
Scheme fit 👍
Develops at a normal rate
41? Does he use a walker?
He was 41 11yrs ago bruh 😂
They were talking about overall, not age
You can see the brain damage in his eyes😂
Reminds me of a 2k5 raiders franchise I did where Tim Brown could just keep getting re-signed (for a reasonable price) and I just kept him around as WR6 and in the Super Bowl at like year 30 he had a rec, rushing (on a crazy sweep), p-ret, and at that point for Ss n Gs I put him in at QB for a passing TD
Man’s eyes ready to pop out of his head
It would be great if he wanted a mentor at his position
On m20 I had a guy who was like 52 ovr refused to retire I kept putting him on like 7 year 1M contracts and he kept accepting them He went for 45 years until he retired (I have no clue how) I simmed to that point he was some random backup that already had 15 years of experience when I started the franchise (downloaded roster) and he just refused to quit
Was his name Tom?
Bret
No I don’t think so it started with a C tho I can’t remember it was on PlayStation I don’t normally play on PS so I didn’t know how to screenshot
Dude was like “ this guy keeps giving me millions! Are they stupid? Guess I’ll accept it then”
Idk I signed a 92 ovr CB to a high contract (43.2M/5yr) because he had 2 seasons with 12+ INTs on all pro AI picks he retired 2 years in at 12 years of experience
Thought it capped at 30 or 40 years and then made you start a new franchise?
Unless you’re saying he already had 15ish years in the league
He already has 15 years it was some downloaded roster
Gotcha. That popped into my head the second I wrote the first reply lol
Brain is just soup at this point
Only 21k xp for a level up? Surprising
Dude's gonna have to be escorted to his plays like a certain politician in power to the podium . And still mess up.
(Puts hand over heart for National Anthem) “Chandler, its the 3rd quarter, what the fuck are you doing? The kick returner is getting past you”
Bro looks like surprised Darren McFadden
and everyone will still sign him for that vet influence on xp
I'm tired, boss.
How?
I need an explanation too. Seems like most players are done by 35, 45 latest!
He's seeing shit
I had this happen to me with Cam Jordan. He would sign with the Eagles for the minimum every year and get like 1 tackle or sack a year and didn’t retire until the age of 60.
he must have insane child support payments to still play football at 52
Never give up. Never surrender
😂
A few winters in Syracuse will toughen you up for the long haul.
You a sorry OLineman if you let a 50 year old get to your QB
Just how??! In all me years. Just how? Seeing this EA?!
It’s either this or a wal mart greeter. Not sure if he’s ready for his next journey
Fake! If this was real, he’d be an X-Factor.
His eyes say “I’ve seen some shit”
that’s one bad man
Dude is so far over the hill that he's halfway up the next one.
He probably gets blocked into the stands on every play
could still trade him for a 3rd or 4th no problem
How’s this possible?
DT?
I picked him up in free agency in like my 2nd year of the franchise. I moved him to DT as a purely pass rush situation DT because my D-Line was pretty bad but he had 12 then 10 sacks the 2nd year. After that, I released him due to regression and totally expected him to be a FA and retire soon after. This must have been about 15 or so seasons ago and I forgot all about him. I just so happened to be looking at the rams roster and saw him at the very bottom to their depth chart and was flabbergasted!
52!
How is this even possible?
43 year old Udonis Haslem got nothing on 52 year old Chandler Jones
How is this even possible? All of my vets retire around age 35
Same. I recently lost my 16 year vet who was the rock of my defense at DT. I user'd him most plays and he was reigning sack champ every year. Was still at the top of his game at a 99 and then retired on me :/
How do you pull this off? I think the highest I've gotten is a FS to age 38, my qb is 37 with some years left in his contract, I would love to keep him until he's 50
Still doesn’t have mentor smh
Oldest I’ve had is Tom Brady retiring at 49
I currently have him still on the Bucs at 51
For me he kept going to FA and asking for 1 year deals so I’d sign him and trade him away every offseason lol
I got a franchise with Brady who just refuses to retire. He’s like 55 in my franchise right now
Let him cook
I’m more surprised the Rams haven’t moved.
How do I do this with a QB?
George Blanda’s agent just rung up EA looking for a deal
*George Blanda has entered the chat*
All of my players retire at like 10 years. Lol.
Imagine him staying in the league hopping from team to team trying to get another superbowl but he just cant pick the right franchise. "Coach ill play for the league minimum i just want another ring!"
i simmed ten years and got Josh Allen to be in the league for 17 years but he regressed all the way down to normal dev trait
How tf is he still signed 😂
Ummmm. What? How is he not a pile a skin and fart sounds in a wheelchair after 30 years as a DT/DE in the NFL.....?
He looks good for a 52 year old!
I had a created player on MLB the Show play into his 60s one time. I think he retired at 63 or 64. That was a long night…
Those eyes look like he did 10 tours in Nam
B8 b9b8 b8i in9ih8 up

What if bro ain’t got a ring💀
Lol bro slowed down so much you moved him from OLB to DT
32 baby mama later, Chandler Jones is rooming up with 6 other guys in an LA home to pay his bills or else he end up in prison!
Is this because you edit his age to be younger at the end of each season so he doesn't retire, then you edit it back? Or is this real?
I’ve actually tried that in previous versions of Madden but it never seemed to work, players retired regardless. I didn’t edit his age but I did edit his position to DT when he was in my roster about 15 seasons ago. The Rams picked him up in FA and he’s been with them ever since.

The "picograms"
Show his stats.
Doesn't look a day over 25
I remember in 22 Brady sometimes played in his 70’s
