Interview with DTM Koolaidz!
DTM Koolaidz was a top tier QB in the old VFL/EFL days. This is his first season in the new VFL and after being drafted by the WFT, I asked him a few questions.
QUESTION 1:
1. What brought you back to the VFL?
ANSWER:
About two weeks ago, there was a specific night in which I randomly started reminiscing about Madden. That may sound silly to some, but growing up Madden was one of my favorite games to play ever since Madden 11. I had invested so much time playing with my old crew in gamebattles and with a number of great individuals in the VFL that it’s just not something you forget about. So on this random night I actually started watching some of Mister ATM’s videos on YouTube, shoutout ATM he was one of the best WR’s during his time and also knew how to make some great videos. But then I started watching a lot of my old highlights and had come across Nate’s channel and his most recent video was titled “VFL Champion Chiefs” and I sat there completely puzzled. I had taken my break from Madden due to school and work and it caught me by surprise that the VFL had actually made a return. I did some research and later came across a reddit post that provided details about the league and how a new season was about to start. That’s when I decided to make a return from my two year hiatus and see if I can still compete with the best and return to my old form.
QUESTION 2:
How did the first week go for you and your line? Must’ve been difficult with just getting the new Xbox a week or 2 ago.
ANSWER:
We finished the week off 1-2, dissapointing to say the least because our line had complete potential to go 3-0. Tiger and Kavious are amazing players with great users and I’m still trying to get used to their play styles. It’s been slightly difficult but I would say it’s gone better than I had expected. The Madden IQ doesn’t just dissapear especially when you’re someone who’s been playing the game for 10+ years. Our one win was against TMO and for me that is a great accomplishment because he is considered one of the best defensive coordinators throughout the whole league. But once again, our first week could’ve gone better, it’s just on me to have performed better and to not have made as many mistakes as I did.
QUESTION 3:
3. You’re on a team with 2 of the top lines in the league, do you feel any pressure from them?
ANSWER:
QUESTION 4:
With the league being fresh for you, does it feel like the “old” days?
ANSWER:
Do you think you’ll be ready to get some clutch wins come playoff time?
ANSWER:
Hell yea. I know everyone has already had 3-4 seasons of playing in this Madden but once I start catching a rhythm best believe our line is going to be dangerous in the post season. I’m very fortunate now that I have a lot of free time to practice and get adjusted to things. On top of that, I feel having the opportunity to play everyone in the regular season will prepare me for what is to come.
Wont lie to you Abyss, almost every single day I feel like I’ve heard someone say that. Shit, I might’ve been guilty of that in the Old VFL days, being the stubborn, obnoxious teen that I once was. Confidence and competitiveness are great, we want to see that in the league but as I mentioned the trash talking and downplaying of others still feels rampant and at this point childish. A lot of us were much younger when we first started playing in the league and now we’re all in a new stage of our lives so you would hope that there is more sportsmanship and maturity shown between members.
Thank you Koolaidz for taking the time to answer some questions and good luck the rest of this season!
5 Players that shi* on the competition and 5 that shi* themselves
With week 1 in the books, we take a look at players that shi* on the competition and also players that shi* themselves.
5 Players that Shi* on the Competition Week 1
1. Beachmode: Alongside behe and cjmarjr, these guys went 3-0 for the projected last place team in the preseason. They had a dominate game against the Dolphins who had their GM (kuhrow) and Max bid (Gabe) in the game alongside the reigning RBOTY (justt smoove) from season 4. They also took down Grof’s line and Drock’s line respectively.
2. Grandpa Warpath: This son of a bitch finally survived week 1 without being traded. 3-0 for the week and didn’t get moved for a pile of monkey shit? Sounds like a pretty good week to me.
3. Woohdy: The league leading rusher is a free agent? He had the best week by any other running back averaging 12.2 yards per carry and he’s sitting on the bench? Will someone else pick this dude up or is he gonna be the ECU of the century?
4. Dfeetu44: Moving to WR DB this season has been good for dfeet. He’s leading the league in defensive INTs and had a good week at WR. I know the opposing teams are disappointed that he’s not lined up at QB anymore.
5. Kuhrow, king jon and king logic all went 1-2 but had dominate performances on the DL. If they can continue to pressure the QB and stop the run at a high rate, I’m sure their records will improve over the next couple of weeks.
5 Players that Shi* themselves Week 1
1. T1 Anime: After averaging 1.9 Yards per carry on 25 rush attempts, I can see why the dolphins dropped Anime. Hopefully he can gain another roster spot and prove that he can compete at the RB position.
2. Sir Bottomis: With an 0-3 week 1 and a league leading 11 picks thrown.. The Steelers owner needs to step his game up and get a couple wins in week 2. If he doesn’t start winning, I suggest a position change.
3. Gabe ily: One of the best WR DL players in the league made the move to QB and a Max bid for the dolphins. gabe went out and got massacred by the Steelers. Then he put up 3 points in a 6-3 loss to Beaste. Word on the street is he was so trash that he was replaced by Blunkey vs the Colts (a game in which the dolphins won).
4. McCoy252: Losing 59-7 is embarrassing but I have to applaud him for not quitting the game. He also lost 32-14 to the WFT. No stats have been entered yet, but I know gamegreen will be entering them soon. The only shining moment for McCoy week 1 was beating Hutch, Jon and Areis.
5. Ty and Myself the last game of the week. I mean we absolutely pooped our pants that game. The ugliest game of madden I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing. Both QBs should’ve just punted the ball on first down every possession to try and get some points on defense. The score was 14-2 Bengals on defense and 6-3 Bengals on Offense. For a max bid and a top 2 drafted QB, that was pathetic.
Interview with MEOW GROF!
The reigning, defending, undisputed VFL Season 4 Champion….. MEOW…. GROFFFF. The owner of the Season 4 Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, took the time to answer a few questions.
QUESTION 1:
Your season 4 Packers surprised almost everyone with a super bowl victory. Ty, Sacrifice and you were the 3 QBs. This season your 3 QBs are: you, Aceboogs and a brand new player to the team, mocarbone. Do you like what you’ve seen from the QB position so far this season?
ANSWER:
So far out of the QB position i’ve seen Ace put together 2 really solid wins where he balled out and one loss against a familiar face in Kuhrow who knows Aces offense like the back of his hand. Overall very impressed. Mocarbone, although i haven’t watched his games clearly needed a change of pace and I think that resides perfectly with ibprofam and highwalkr so i’m excited to see how they can make Mo more comfortable. As far as my performance goes it’s been relatively abysmal but we have a game plan and stick to it which has us competing in every game we play.
QUESTION 2:
After a big win against IR Brady, northside and Dfeetu, do you believe your line can match up well with any line in the league?
ANSWER:
The game against Brady, North and Dfeet was a prime example of how we want to play and frankly how we have to play to matchup against these top lines. Make it sloppy for them on offense, throw weird looks at them and take advantage of the turnovers. The beautiful thing about my line is we have the capability of both beating and losing to anyone in the league. Can never count on us but can’t ever count us out. Although we have had some locker room issues with our handsomely salaried hype man (MeoW Moj) that we have to work out if we want to be successful going forward.
QUESTION 3:
Which player on your team has impressed you the most through this first week?
ANSWER:
Throughout week one the player that has most impressed me both in and out of game has been MarcDog, he’s a name i recognized from back in the day but never had any rapport with. After playing games with him and deciding to make the switch to WR/LB so he can call defense i’ve quickly come to understand that he can hand with the best of the DCs in this league and he always brings good vibes. Huge pickup.
QUESTION 4:
Who do you think will match up in the super bowl for season 5?
ANSWER:
I think almost everyone fully expects it to be a WFT vs Bengals super bowl but what kind of owner would I be if I didn’t say us? I’ll go for a surprise pick and go Colts vs Eagles. Warpaths ass is mine.
If you were on the staff, in which ways would you try to improve the league moving forward?
ANSWER:
If I were on staff I would try to facilitate ideas towards formatting and integration of ad revenue, potentially figuring a way to move everything that happens on discord to the website so the traffic is all there which will heavily benefit the league in the long run.
Highwalkr used to show me his bank statements and paychecks but i’ve since then stopped asking to see and as long as the lights in my house stay on I know he’s fronting the bill for me. Another man’s finances are none of my business, all I know is he puts food on my table (wagyu steak tonight) and I put rusty on his line, we have a beautiful symbiotic relationship that I treasure.
Thank you Grof for taking the time to answer some questions and good luck the rest of this season!
Interview with TXjamesSmithTX
After a controversial season 1 and retirement/blacklist from the VFL, James is back and looking to get in a groove and help the Falcons make a Super Bowl run. I asked James a few questions about coming back from such a long hiatus, this is what he had to say.
QUESTIONS 1 AND 2:
First off, how did your week 1 go? Did your line exceed your expectations or were you right on track?
Have you been playing madden at all since your longggg time off?
ANSWER:
with me being away from madden since season one of the league its been an adjustment. havnt played any madden in that time. so the adjustment has been rough. we went 1-2 my stat line was ok but the adjustment has been even more difficult having to come back and play for a team that has 0 wr and a noodle arm qb.
QUESTION 3:
Is there anyone in the league you’d like to match up against?
ANSWER:
right now im in no position to call anyone out i am excited to get to the playoffs after shaking off some rust and getting back in the groove its going to be a long season for me though thats for sure
QUESTION 4:
Who do you think will match up in the super bowl this season?
ANSWER:
im not sure who will be in the super bowl this season like i stated before me being gone for a while there is a lot of gamertag changes and new faces around. so trying to predict a superbowl team is ruff but from the guys ik and am aware of and madden team standpoint ik the bengals are going to be fravorites not only do they have one of the better madden teams in the league they have a strong roster with yourself and other good foundational players.
What do you need to do to help your team make a run in the playoffs?
ANSWER:
the biggest thing especially after week one, we are all struggling with matt ryan and no wr its tuff being on atlanta with no dline no wr its a struggle. so the main focus as of now is figuring out how to win games when we cant go down the field and playing defense with no pass rush if we can figure that out we will be able to squeeze in the playoffs.
ANSWER:
im going to keep it 100. I was accused of altering the playbook to give myself an advantage in the league. everyone who has been around the league from the beginning know who i am and i have been apart of staff and even commissioner year in and year out and have always tried to do whats best for the league and always wanted to be apart of the growth of the league. this is a place ive loved to play in since ive been here. and to be accused of doing something so petty just bc the people in charge (outaker) did not want to take accountability for there simple mistake was absolutely appalling to me. instead wanted to shift blame to myself even though the constitution stated “Last edited by outaker” weeks before this altercation took place. this was an attack on my character and my reputation that i had built up in this league for a very long time should i have left probably not but i felt so much disrespect that some one could consider me the type of person that would do something like that so i left. after everything i did for the league to help get it running. from organizing discord helping with the stat system and scheduling i tried to and did help outaker at every corner. Just to become a scape goat was a slap in the face i hold no grudges for the situation it still gets me upset that it happened but we have to be forgiving God is good and we move on.
Thank you James for taking the time to answer some questions and good luck the rest of this season!
VFL Top 12 Free Agent QBs
12. xBeachMode
Former owner for 2 seasons, Beach will make a good 3rd line QB for someone this season.
11. DtM x KoolAiDz
Back from a long layoff, dtm was always 1 of the top qbs and players in general in the previous leagues. That type of consistency and madden iq doesn’t just go away. I expect with some labbing and scrims he’ll find his way back to being a top qb very soon.
10. x 9 smyth 4 x
Smyth filled in for the Bills last season and did surprisingly well. Hopefully he can continue to improve and help a team make playoffs.
9. FOExMACC
On the Panthers last season, Mac started rough but finished the season strong with 5 straight wins. He went 0-2 in the playoffs but after a full season under his belt, I can see him being a strong QB for someone.
8. Aceboogs98
Coming off 2 straight Super Bowl losses, Boogs will be in the draft for the first time in 3 seasons. Solid QB and can help a team make the Super Bowl.
7. Xxchildxplease
Has a nice scheme. Gets users involved. Sometimes goes for the big play too much. Does not adjust the line well and needs to work on that. He will get u to the redzone often. Dependable qb.
6. XxMarcdogxx
Marc went 3-0 in the Season 3 playoffs on his way to winning a Super Bowl with the KC Chiefs. After switching to WR for a season, he is back as a top prospect at the QB position. Great game manager and plays above average at LB.
5. xxHucci
Very smart qb, knows how to beat man, cover3, cover 2. Can struggle against the top tier user pass rushers but is actively working to improve. Always looking to lab and get better. A real up and coming qb
4. BeOmniTTV
He is the only QB that beat Abyss’s line last season in the regular season. If Omni continues to improve, he will be a top QB very soon. Doesn’t make a ton of mistakes and that’s all you can ask for.
3. mocarbone
Stepping in for the Bills last season, Mo was doing so well that everyone called him “mocarbeaste”. He’s been around since season 1 but remains under the radar as a good QB.
2. x Sacr1f1ce x
Sac made his return to the VFL last season. He was a good QB in the older maddens and if this last season has any indication, he will continue to be a good QB for whoever drafts him. Super Bowl winning QB with the Packers and had a phenomenal season.
1. Ez Big Ty
Top Free agent QB, Ty. He’s a very smart and safe qb. Knows how to manage the game and gets user involved. He will get you wins and is very knowledgeable. He has proven that he can be a Number 1 Line QB after winning the Super Bowl this past season.
noteable mentions: Highwalker (great player haven’t seen him at QB). Ezakimak (been around a long time, making his QB debut). Redhour (Good RB DL, not the best at QB).
