He's now a 78 but no *Dev currently so it's been very slow.

I think it helped that I got a breakout scenario in YR1 and got him to Star. I trained him every week for 2 years and broke the 80 plateau. With no dev upgrade, I can see him fizzling out.

I found him to play very well in a horizontal passing attack, but he has limitations for sure.

He can be spectacular at times but throws a lot of inaccurate throws. The thing I love about him is his speed and mobility.

Won the NFC championship 37-29 over another nemesis Tampa Bay. Went ahead 28-0 in first half thanks to two pick 6s and had to hold on to win 37 to 29 finally salting the game away hitting the QB on the release and forcing an interception by of course Jalen Ramsey(who also had one of the pick sixes)

Won the Super Bowl 35-33 in a back and forth game that came down to the last possession where a 4th and 10 pass was broken up of course by DPOY Jalen Ramsey to finally slam the door shut.

After the game I got a strange message from Aaron Donald saying that he was going to retire. It was strange because he had already retired the year before. When I first saw his face on the tile before I opened the message I thought that he was going to come out of retirement, and was about to faint from shock, but it was unfortunately a glitch.

Will start the next season tomorrow with the new Franchise goodness.

The Season Recap tile being added to the first offseason screen is good little add. Having it first appear in the year I won the Super Bowl is nice.

Jalen Ramsey not retiring after his DPOY season is a most welcome surprise.

Restarted 2020 Packers franchise. I owe it to myself to have nice things once in awhile. This offense is so sharp. It's like performing surgery out there.

All-Madden default, 12 min. qtrs , 15 sec accel.

A quarter of the way through the season and we're 4-0 having just put on a clinic for the national audience on Monday Night at the expense of the Atlanta Falcons:



Aaron Rodgers leads the league in yards passing and has 14 TDs and 2 INTs. Aaron Jones and Davante Adams also lead the league in yards in their respective categories. We're going to enjoy the much deserved bye week vacation before coming back to face the Bucs on the road and the currently undefeated 49ers in 4 weeks.

4-0 Packers headed into their matchup with an underperforming 2-3 Bucs team in Tampa and a perfect early fall afternoon for football.

GB 27 TB 39 was the final score as Brady lit us up for 460 passing yards. I have a feeling we're going to be seeing them again in the playoffs. Playoffs??!!? Playoffs?!?!?
