Realest Top 25 VFL Players Seasons 1-5 ( 12-1 )

First off let me start off by staying I had a error in my first part of this article by 100% leaving out a player who should be on the list so I will put them as a tie with another player!

#12 – ( Warpath ) Warpath is a player who struggled early on in his VFL career. Started in season 2 where it was pretty much moved between the 2 worse teams Bucs and Chiefs. Season 3 he got his first good chance on the Cowboys and he did well for himself. The thing I like about Warpath be brought a different scheme. Most people use the same playbooks on offense and he used a different one. After a loss to him towards the end of the season I had to go rewatch my broadcast to understand what the hell he is was doing. But that comes with his biggest weakness , he only runs about 2 to 3 plays and if you catch on to them its VERY easy to stop. However his improvement from season 2 to seasons 3-5 are clear. Record in Season 2 was (2-8) and his record in seasons 3-5 is (22-12) which is a huge improvement. I think #12 is a good spot for someone like Warpath. Also very sad I was never teammates with this guy for a season 🙁

#11A – ( EboK aka Post Kobe ) Ebok is one of the most talented players in this league. While he may catch backlash for being a troll that doesn’t take away from his Madden skills. Ebok like Breesus was introduced to the league by Kuhrow and instantly made a impact often and early. Ebok spent his first 2 seasons playing Running back where he exceeded expectations with James Connor and Ravens shitty group of backs. This season he has made the switch to QB and is putting up great numbers , making a switch like that and succeeding instantly is huge in my book. Most impressive thing that is eye popping though is the EboK record in his first 3 seasons , with a record of (25-6) that has to be one of the better records in a 3 season span. I truly believe if EboK had a another season under his belt this Madden he would have cracked my top 7 or 8 but for now I think #11A is the right spot for him.

#11B – ( Ty Bomaye ) Has shown the most growth at QB in my opinion. In season 2 if you asked me who Ty is I would have said ” oh some shitter “. If you asked me season 3 who was Ty I would say I really good game manager. If you asked me Seasons 4 and 5 who Ty is I would tell you he is for sure a top 5 QB in the VFL. Ty really started taking off when he got to play with Tmo and Willy in season 3 where I feel they helped start his growth as a QB. They kept the game simple for him offensively and played defense and it worked. Ty then got on a teammate with his buddy Orlando and they have been a top line ever sense. Ty has a very boring scheme because he takes the clock with him. Ty is also tough to get a read on because he doesn’t really have set plays he really just takes what the defense gives him which makes him tough to beat. Even though I have Ty ranked at 11 I still feel he is very unrated , he should be GM/Maxbid type of player.

#10 – ( Outaker ) Outaker is obviously a good player and his career numbers this madden are great. Hes won of the better WR in the league and in 5 season I would have to say has to be a top 3 at DL. Even with the great numbers I sometimes feel lost on how to judge Outaker. Sometimes hes fully here and engaged and then sometimes hes just not. Outaker is one of the few who actually tracked his season one stats and they were good , In season 1 and 2 he put great numbers , Season he had a drop off where he only had 6 total sacks in the season , that is unacceptable for him in my eyes. Season 4 he picked it back up with another great season but here in season 5 he only has 3 games worth of stats? Outaker seems like one of those players who is very talented but will take a play off or in his case the whole season off lol. Regardless I think he is easily a top 10 player over the 5 seasons we had.

#9 – ( Gabe ) Gabe is in my top 3 for most TALENTED players in this league. He very versatile on both sides of the ball. On offense I would say he the 2nd most versatile offensive player in the league and I would say he the most versatile defensive player in the league as far as being able to play any role the team needs. Gabe in my eyes has been a top 2 at DL since season 3 , but he is also very capable of being elite at LB and DB as well. When watching Gabe play I think the most impressive thing about his game is his route running and thats at RB or WR. He always knows how to find the hole (pause) in the zone. Not only is he a great route runner but I would have to deem him the best at being able to high point the ball and come down with it as a WR. If Gabe would have played seasons 1 and 2 I think he would have cracked my top 5 or 6 but he didn’t so I feel 9 is a good spot for him.

#8 – ( Champ ) Champ has had a interesting 5 seasons. His first season Champ very much underwhelming considering he was in a QB room of Abyss , Beaste and himself. Champ was a big let down for the season 1 Ravens as he went 0-2 in the playoffs costing them a chance at a Superbowl. Every since then Champ really got in the lab with Farah and his game completely changed. He came out the a great scheme out of the Patriots playbook and really started torching the leagues cover 3 meta. Season 2 was a great season for Champ but he got himself suspended for the playoffs. Seasons 3 and 4 were both MVP runner up season for Champ but was beaten out by Abyss both times , Even with his dominate numbers and wins in the regular season Champ in both seasons continued to struggle in the playoffs. Champ really seems to lack the ability to beat man coverage. If I had to pick a DC who has been haunting Champ it has to be Kuhrow. I think this is the season where the most pressure is on Champ. Its the last season for this madden and he as yet to reach a SB. This time around he has Beaste on his team so the pressure of being Line 1 isn’t there anymore. Its time for Champ to answer the bell and start winning some big time playoff games.

#7 – ( Route Tech Tmo ) Tmo in my opinion is the most underrated player in the league. He is never heavily talked about when it comes to the leagues best. Lets not forget in seasons 1 and 2 his team made back to back superbowl trips as a owner. Tmo is one of the best when it comes to putting together a roster that can compete with the leagues best. After Tmo stepped away from ownership he joined staff to attempt to help better the league. While Tmo numbers might not be eye popping his impact on the field is felt. If I had to name the top 5 DCs in the VFL Tmo would easily be on that short list. Also in season 1 Tmo help lead the Chiefs to the VFL first SB this madden as a QB. Tmo is good at both LB and DL on the defensive side of the ball and has shown he can win at QB while also being one of the leagues better WRs. Ill be the first to admit I dont take advice from many people on Madden but Tmo showed me a defense and I was like damn this guy is smart. I think Tmo ranked at #7 will get laughs within the community but I think thats a good spot for a 5 season career.

#6 – ( Kuhrow ) Kuhrow might be the most dominant player of this Madden within the VFL. If I had to compare him to a athlete this Madden it should be Shaq ( with no rings ). While Kuhrow has been the Shaq of the VFL where is his Kobe ( R.I.P ). I feel like Kuhrow has somewhat put himself in a bad spot playing with QBs like game green and ace boogs when he could have easily been on better teams. Some will tell you that Kuhrow plays with worse players to have a built in excuse for when he loses. While I give him credit to trying to be the driving force sometimes you gotta realize the grass is greener on the other side. Kuhrow has easily been the best DL in the VFL seasons 1-5 and its not even close in my opinion. Kuhrow is a championship away from being in my top 5 and I dont see him getting it this season.

#5 – ( North ) North has been one of the most consistent players in the league as far as stats and wins. North has never had a season with less then 10 wins. Winning 10 out of 12 games every season is very consistent. While North is known as a winning he is also known for stuffing the stat sheet. North is dominant at both RB and DL. North has had 3 seasons with 750+ rushing yards , while also having 3 seasons of 400+ receiving yards at running back. On the defensive side of the ball North had never had a under 40 TFL and only one season under 20 sacks. North has shown he can carry a line leading while playing with Dfeet and also can be a great sidekick on a line to a great QB like IR Brady. North in my book is a top 5 DC in the league and has had a top 5 VFL career this madden!

#4 – ( Realest ) Im not going to sit here and talk about myself , Biased in me I would rank myself number 1 because I 100% feel im the best player in the league. Just dont feel like its right for me to talk about myself and my accolades within this league. I also think ranking myself ahead of any of the next 3 players would be disrespectful considering Ive never played the toughest position in this league which is QB.

#3 ( Brady ) It feels wrong to say Brady is the worst of these 3 because I have the upmost respect for all 3 of these guys but I have to rank Brady number 3 as far as this list and these 5 seasons went. Brady has been consistently one of the best QB this league has had. Season 2 was horrible for Brady dealing with a terrible situation that led to him being blacklisted for the last couple weeks of the season. But he came back season 3 motivated going 10-1 but ended up losing in the playoffs in a classic to Beaste which made his team check out for the remainder of the series. Season 4 Brady had another great season going 10-0 in the regular season and 2-0 in the playoffs but the other lines couldn’t pull off a win to force a game 7. Brady has been on the short end of the stick this Madden and I did him no justice by stepping down from ownership. However I still have faith in the Bengals hoping Brady can lead the team to the Superbowl and capture his first ring this Madden. I would like to go on the record and say at this point in time Brady is the best QB in the VFL!

#2 – ( Abyss ) Abyss has had a absolute stunning 5 seasons at QB. He is the only player who has won multiple MVPs this madden and one of them with Sam Darnold. Abyss is known for being very safe with the ball with a clock control offense and solid defense. Abyss I would also have to stay was the best owner seasons 1-3 as far as putting together a team , making sure there were no forfeits etc. He is one of those QBs who seeks advice from his teammates when something is going wrong. I can speak from experience seeing as Ive played with him 95% of this madden. He makes the game easy for someone like myself knowing im going to get consistent play out of a QB. So how do I have the guy who won a superbowl going as a owner who team went 12-0 in the playoffs season 3 and won back to back mvps ranked #1? Well thats because I have his season 3 teammate number 1.

#1 – ( Beaste ) Beaste has had the best VFL career this Madden in my opinion. Season 1 Beaste went undefeated in the regular season and where he ended up losing game 3 to the SB champion Chiefs. Season 2 Beaste captured his first VFL championship while being the owner of the Cleveland Browns. Season 3 Beaste repeated with a championship with a team who went 12-0 on a crazy playoff run. Here we are season 5 and Beaste team is back in the mix again as probably the favorite heading into the playoffs. Wherever Beaste is winning is happening and he has to get credit for that. My final decision for number 1 came down to Abyss and Beaste. The deciding factor for me is Beaste has 2 SBs and Abyss has 1. Beaste has also won without Abyss on his roster and Abyss hasn’t won without Beaste on his.

Hope you all enjoyed this ranking ( im sure you didnt if your not on the list or dont agree with you place ). Good Luck to everyone the rest of this Madden!

Realest Top 25 VFL Players for Seasons 1-5 (25-13)

My one exception for making the list is you had to complete 3 of the 5 seasons! One player who would for sure be in my top 10 to 15 will not be on the list because he joined the league in the middle of season 3 and that is Ponchy!

#25 – ( JPxProdigie ) JP is surely one of the better WR/DB within the league , JP was a superbowl champ in season 1 with the Chiefs and was a superbowl runner up in season 2 with the Packers. JP is also one of the 4 people to win the DB of the year award. He is known for his very aggressive play style at DB , more like a center fielder in baseball , he thrive in cover 3 and is a old school VFL player with an old school mindset. Couldn’t see myself leaving JP off this list so I have him at #25.

#24- ( Hutch ) Hutch has played in all 5 seasons of the VFL and has done very well at QB/LB , he has played with the same WR/DB all 5 seasons but no matter who the RB/DL is they do well in his offensive system and are a huge focal point of the offense. I played one game in season 1 on that line at RB/DL and felt if I played with them I would easily have a shot at 1,000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in a season because how much the RB is involved. Hutch is #24 on my list!

#23 -( Farah en Fuego ) Farah is probably the biggest lab rat and film study guy within the league , Madden created a ability called Film Study and if anyone in the league deserve that ability it would be Farah. Farah also has to get 50% of the credit for Champ QB development over the past 5 seasons. However I do feel his user skills are very subpar at best , I would deem him an average WR/LB. Ill never forget season 4 telling Abyss to throw right at his face and see what he does. However his knowledge and in-game awareness alone gets him in my top 25 so I have him at #23.

#22 – ( NVTECVSHMNEY ) Nate in his first couple of seasons played QB and he was below average. His best seasons were seasons 3-5 when he made the switch to RB. In season 3 and 4 Nate was very much the driving force of the offense on his line both seasons. When he is calling defense he is known for his very off meta play calling. You can never get a read on what he is doing , one play he could call cover 3 the next play you might see a all out blitz. This season Nate has made the transition to DL where he is top 3 in sacks and tfls. Since moving to RB Nate has become one of the better RBs in the league and lets not forget he is a SB Champ. I have Nate at #22 on my list.

#21 – ( Clutch King ) Clutch is easilyyyyy one of the most underrated players in the league , if I had one word to describe Clutch it would be ( Consistent ). Clutch has played with Beaste almost every season but season 4. Clutch is a 2x superbowl champ with both the Browns and Chiefs. Clutch is also a very versatile player playing both RB/WR and was successful at both. Somehow clutch is always drafted in the mid-later rounds of the draft and that shouldn’t happen. Clutch is a no brainer on this list so I have him at #21

#20 – ( Shady on Xbox ) Shady is a very solid RB/DB , I personally don’t understand why he keeps switch back and forth from RB to QB. I think he would be higher on my list if he didn’t keep switching so much. Also I think playing RB with fear can hurt your numbers because fear has a very predictable offense and you can just key on his RB. However in that offense Shady has still done well for himself numbers wise. Also like JP one of the only people to win DB of the year and led the league in single season INTs until this season. I couldn’t leave Shady off this list either so I have him at #20

#19- ( Areis ) Areis is pretty close to a clone of how I view JP. Good WR/DB who thrive best in cover 3 defense I actually dont think Areis knows anything outside of cover 3 on defense. However him and Hutch have been a solid duo in this league since season 1 started. My only issue with Areis is he is known for not wanting to play the best competition in the regular season. Outside of that he is one of the better players within the league and is known to win you at least 7 to 8 games a season. Areis is #19 on my list.

#18 – ( Justt Smoove ) Smoove is in my top 4 as far as running back goes , Easy on of the top pure runners the league has to offer. I would say hes an above average route runner at running back but certainly not the best. Smoove as a DB sometimes worries me a little. Sometimes in cover 3 he is on the middle third and in cover 2 ive seen him on the flat or on the deep zone , hell in man ive seen him on the outside corner. That could easily wreck someone play or it could result in a big touchdown. However he gets the job done. Lately ive heard rumors of him being a Diva. Dont let the awards and winning get to your head kid stay humble! Smoove is #18 on my list!

#17 – ( GaabageAssassin ) Gaabage is top 5 at DL in this league , when he is not eating peanut butter and pickle sandwiches he is probably sacking your QB or hitting your running back in the backfield. Gaabage was so good at DL in season 3 he was awarded with Defensive player of the year. However I think he lacks alot on the offensive side on the ball. By far the best teammate ive had this madden , low ego , never complains just shows up and wrecks the game on the defensive side of the ball. Gaabage gets spot #17 on my list!

#16 – ( OrlandoStayWoke ) Orlando is also very underrated , Season 2 Orlando was the 1st pick in the draft to play QB , I actually think Orlando is a pretty good QB just doesn’t take the time to lab to be a great one , Orlando started at WR for Abyss Season 1 and I thought he was average at best , however these last couple of seasons he has made huge improvement and became very solid , He also became good enough to become a DC in the league which I never thought he could do. Orlando is a superbowl champ season 4 with the Packers and him and Ty as a duo is one of the better ones within the league. Orlando is #16 on my list!

#15 – ( Breesus ) Breesus took the league by storm season 3 as a rookie QB , winning rookie of the year and make a superbowl in his first season in the league. He followed up his impressive rookie season with a better 2nd season on the Cardinals almost passing for over 3,000 and 396 rushing yards. Not only was he good on the offensive side of the ball he was good on the defensive side of the ball having 14 and 16 picks in those 2 seasons. My question is why did Bressus move off QB? Scared to play without elite QBs or without Kuhrow or Gabe? Regardless I think 15 is right spot for Breesus.

#14 – ( Child Please ) Child is one of the better players within the league and I feel like half the league doesn’t even know it. Child monster on the DL with the bull rush. He might very well be the best at the Bull Rush in the league. I think if Child really committed to the league like other players and bout a wire to improve his connection he would be even higher on my list. While Child is great in the regular season this guy can’t find a playoff win LITERALLY. Child is also a very underrated at running back , Im very confused on why he made the switch to QB but please never do that again! His DL play alone gets him at #14 on my list!

#13 – ( Dirty Falcons ) Dirty used to be known as a top 3 QB within this league in my eyes , and then everyone found out what man coverage was. Season 1-3 he was a machine and putting up eye popping numbers at QB. Season 2 he was a superbowl champ with the Browns and continued season 3 putting up MVP type numbers with Tannehill. Then the playoffs hit and he ran into Kuhrow and seemed a little lost in the sauce. Every since the season 3 playoffs this guy just hasn’t been the same and hasn’t adjusted very well. But this is a season 1-5 ranking and I think #13 is a fair ranking for Dirty.

That concludes my ranking for players 25-13. Tomorrow I will be making the list of my players ranked 12-1. Whos ranked to high? To Low? Who should be in the top 25 that you think won’t be? Feel free for feedback! If you dont like my list feel free to make your own.

Gabe iLy VBA Season 1 Awards Race (DPOY)

With season 1 for the new and improved VBA well underway, I thought now would be the perfect time to talk about something that makes the VBA so great and a big reason why we all play (aside from winning the chip of course) and that is the recognition that comes with winning awards and being considered the best or 1 of the best in the league at your position!! With that being said I am going to take a look across the league and talk about who I think is in play to win the following awards MVP, DPOY, COTY, PG, SG, SF, PF and C of the year (based on win/loss, stats, and my own personal opinion of their performance this season). I will be rolling out the these articles in a series so I can go more in depth with my analysis and give these guys the credit they deserve. Today we are going to talk about the defensive guys that embrace the gritty side of 2k and help their team win games with timely steals, blocks or by shutting down the other teams star. So without further ado, here are my leading candidates for DPOY!!

DPOY

1. Kurrupted

Record 6-2

1-0 Vs Shaun 776 (Warriors)

2-0 Vs Zhajesus (Bucks)

1-0 Vs Primo Re (Suns)

Stats

  • 7.8 STL

Kurrupted, a longtime vet of the VBA and comp team up scene, has started to come into his own over the last couple years. He is no longer just another good player known for teaming with former VBA Legends EvLegrand and Aceboogie. His recent domination in 2kgodz over the past 2 years has seen him become one of the best comp team up players in the community. This would all lead you to believe that he is tearing the league up on a star like Harden or Embiid but that is not the case at all.. Kurrupted instead took on the role of Matisse Thybulle and has had an immense impact on the game for his line, averaging an astonishing 7.8 steals per game to go along with blanketing the opposing teams star ball handler, often times taking them completely out of the game. This has led Kurrupted to an impressive 6-2 record, with wins over the rival Suns and Warriors under his belt, to go along with a 2-0 record over MVP candidate ZhaJesus (Bucks). With his unselfish style of play and stifling defense, Kurrupted and his line looked poised to make a deep run at the championship.

2. ZhaJesus

Record 3-2

1-0 Vs King Mizzark (Warriors)

1-0 Vs Bodega (Nets)

Stats

  • 4.2 STL
  • 4.2 BLK

ZhaJesus, a bit of an unknown to some in the VBA community, was taken with the Bucks 1st rd pick to be their premier Giannis and he has not disappointed in that role. Averaging a whopping 29 PPG 21 RPG 9APG and most importantly as it applies to DPOY, 4.2 STL and 4.2 BLK! While his record doesn’t stand out as much as the other candidates on this list, he does hold impressive wins over MVP candidate King Mizzark (Warriors) and Bodega (Nets). While Giannis is extremely braindead on this 2k, you cannot ignore the impact ZhaJesus is having with him on games. Getting almost 5 blocks and 5 steals a game are indeed video game numbers, and I certainly look forward to seeing how ZhaJesus closes out the season and heads into these VBA playoffs!

3. X KING JON X

Record 8-1

2-0 Vs Kuhrow (Heat)

1-0 Vs Bodega (Nets)

1-0 Vs Shaun/Woohdy (Clips)

Stats

  • 2.4 STL
  • 3.4 BLK

King Jon, ah where do we start with this grizzly old vet. Some might say he is the heart and soul of this Suns defense, others might call him a washed bum that is just mashing his Y button. The truth, as it often is, lies somewhere in the middle. All jokes aside though, Jon has been a defensive stalwart throughout his legendary career in these teamup leagues and that is no exception this 2k. He has had a profound impact on his line as a rim protector and leader and has them poised to make a deep playoff run if they can continue to dominate their opposition. The record speaks for itself (regardless what you think of who they have played) 8-1 is still impressive none the less, and the numbers are nothing to scoff at either, 2.4 STL and 3.4 BLK are certainly DPOY worthy. In my opinion however, it is the things that don’t show up in the stat sheet that has Jon on the cusp of DPOY, things like steeping on the screen consistently, stealing entry passes to the paint, timing pump fake spam under the rim or even sweet spotting to play 2 for glitchy pass lane steals. Jon is willing to do whatever it takes to get his team the W and is exactly what you are looking for in a championship big man!

Honorable Mention (In no order)

Why I chose to step down from ownership

Im really making this because I feel a lot of people dont understand why I truly stepped down so I wanted to explain for those who dont.

Around the beginning of week 2 my 3rd line QB Hucci came to me and informed me he was not comfortable with his line because of one the people on his line wasn’t willing to practice. I told Hucci there was nothing I could current do because the trade deadline was already up and trades weren’t proceeded until Thursday. I also informed him that as an owner I could speak with him but I can’t force anyone to practice and he seemed upset with my response. I also asked Hucci right after picking him who he wanted and he said he didnt care just get him a solid RB and some guys who can play defense. I tried to trade JBX the player Hucci was frustrated with and hes not a known guy so nobody wanted him unless Hucci was involved in the trade. I told Hucci to just finish out the week and I would figure something out. After the week ended he finally told me if JBX was on the team going forward he wouldn’t be playing. So I did my best to trade him , After struggling to trade him I got a message from the Colts owner saying he would send me Marc , Black , Ace for Hucci whole line. Colts owner told me and I quote ” bro nobody in their mind would say no to that trade , damn near guaranteed you a super bowl mocarbone just retired for us so i’m just tryna put my good players in a spot where they can win “. I then told him I would be accepting the trade but would be moving them. He said again and I quote ” idc what you change trade to tbh “. I then make a trade with the Pats and Colts owner chooses to veto the trade because he was just tryna put my good players in a spot where they can win. I showed staff proof of all of this and was told I had to redo the trade because he didn’t agree to me trading the players I received to the Pats even tho he said and I quote ” idc what you change trade to tbh “. So whatever thats fine I just had to use my last trade to with the Pats no big deal. I make the trade with the Pats again to find out shortly after a player involved in the trade was quitting because he wasn’t gonna be on my team and was told by his former owner ( Colts Owner ) he was being traded to my team. I had proof that this owner told his player he was being traded to my team before the trade was even done and no punishment was given and my trade was reversed. I then I had to explain to Hucci he was back on the team and he finally told me shortly after he wanted to be traded or dropped. Next day I made another deal with the Pats , Hucci , Woohdy , Bloody to the Pats for the same line I had just traded for the day before. Few hours later I hear now that Hucci is quitting with Hucci saying and I quote lol ” I should quit just to be petty , they fucked me shit comes full circle “. I did everything this player wanted , traded him which he asked to be traded or dropped and didnt involve JBX in the trade who he was refusing to play with. Once again my trade was reversed , I lost out on JBX because I sent him down just to attempt to do right by my QB , lost out on a QB because he wanted to be petty and lost out on the line I traded for 2 times in 2 days. Not to mention a teammate of mine ( a staff member) was aware of Hucci possibly quitting and never thought to tell me. So in 2 days I got screwed over by a staff member and Marc who I considered a good friend. After all this in 2 days I was literally stunned , frustrated. No punishments were being handed out for this shit happening So at that current time I felt like it was time for me to be done playing. However now im pissed that I quit because if my team doesn’t win I really feel like I let them down. I promised Brady when he took my GM I would get him his first ring. Honestly just wanted to tell my side of the story because I dont like being known as a quitter.

Good Luck to everyone the rest of the season!

Interview with JpxProdigie

Today I took the time to interview Eagles WR/DB JP. JP is a well known VFL Vet and Season 2 DB of the Year. So far this season JP has a 6-3 record with over 1,000 receiving yards and 17 interceptions which is currently 3rd in the VFL. Here are a few questions answered by JP!

Question 1 – Now that week 3 is in the books how are you feeling about your team?

Answer

We’re honestly sitting right about where I thought we’d be. We’ve got two solid lines, but we all knew that the 3rd line was going to be a crap shoot. The line we drafted went ahead and called it quits, had to call-up a whole new makeshift line, then that QB “got paid to quit the league” (AKA- he made up a lie to leave on his own).. but now we grabbed Hogcrazy who’s been around forever. We’ll see what we can do. I’m having a lot of fun on my line. Warpath, Haden, and I have a lot of funny times

Question 2 – How has it been playing with Warpath?

Answer

Well I haven’t gotten him traded yet, so that’s good. He’s definitely the best QB I’ve played with so far. My first two seasons I had Tmo and MRUSERPICK at QB, so we were pretty much just trying to win with defense. But this season we’ve got some offense to go with it which is nice. He brought some of his plays, we labbed up some new things. And we just get along great too. So it’s been fun.

Question 3 – What team do you see as the biggest threat?

Answer

Well after some events took place over there in Cincinnati, I think it’s WFT’s to lose this season. We’re not a threat to anyone.. Cincinnati will still be good, but I think it’s Washington. Especially after Ponchy somehow made his way over there.

But hey, maybe Playoff Farah and Champ make an appearance again and make things interesting

Question 4 – In the Eagles team chat how often do Areis and yourself debate who is the better DB?

Answer

There’s not much back and forth, because both of us truly believe we’re better than the other. Areis gave off quite a few humble brags at first but it’s been quiet lately. We’ve had (and still have) our differences, but I know he’s a Top DB also. And he knows I am. I just think he’s a little thrown off by not being the best DB on his team for once 👀

Question 5 – what are some things within the league you would like to see changed headed into Madden 23?

Answer

I want the bidding back, of course. I think that helps prevent those super teams from being built. I also don’t like the max bids. Again, making those super teams easier to form. I think the more talent in the bidding pool, the more prices will be bid up and make strategy that much more important

Question 6 – Including yourself if you could assemble a VFL dream team who would the other 8 players be?

Answer

Thinking potential lines here- Abyss, Realest, Kuhrow… Champ, Farah, Outaker…. MRUSERPICK, Myself, and a QB/DL… maybe Beaste would play DL for me and Pick? If so, that’d be my choice

Things to Watch for in the Last Week

WOW, we are finally entering the final week of the regular season. Talk about a lot of change going on in the league and on these teams! In the AFC the Bengals are the one of two teams that have clinched a spot going in to the final week, they do still need to win a couple games to secure the number one seed. They have a big game on Monday night versus the Raiders that could benefit OR hurt them by the end of the week. With their owner retiring their team is still picking up the pieces, so anything could happen! The Raiders are currently sitting comfortably in the second spot and have a decent gap between them and the Colts. Not only do they have a big game against the Bengals, they also have one on Sunday night vs. the Colts who are trailing them in the division. The Colts and Steelers are separated by 2 games for the 3rd and 4th seed. The Colts and Steelers may decide those seeds Monday night at 9. The Patriots aren’t dead yet, BUT, they have a big hill to climb. They need to start winning some games while hoping the Steelers finally turn into what everyone thought they would be this season. EVERY game is a big one for them this week.

In the NFC we have one team that has clinched playoffs going into the final week in the Football Team. They have a decent lead on the Saints and will face off Sunday night with them to possibly clinch the one seed! The Saints are in a pretty comfortable spot holding the 2nd spot, they need to win a couple games to secure it BUT are guaranteed a playoff spot no matter what happens with 4 wins this week. The Dolphins, Eagles, and Falcons are separated between 2 games. We should see a lot of movement (and excitement) in this race to the finish. They all play each other at least once this week but every game is huge for them! Not only do we have a great last week filled with meaningful games, we will get to see the battle for MVP finish up too. Right now it’s between NORTHZIDE and Beaste! Let’s have a great last week!

Gabe iLy VBA Season 1 Awards Race (MVP)

With season 1 for the new and improved VBA well underway, I thought now would be the perfect time to talk about something that makes the VBA so great and a big reason why we all play (aside from winning the chip of course) and that is the recognition that comes with winning awards and being considered the best or 1 of the best in the league at your position!! With that being said I am going to take a look across the league and talk about who I think is in play to win the following awards MVP, DPOY, COTY, PG, SG, SF, PF and C of the year (based on win/loss, stats, and my own personal opinion of their performance this season). I will be rolling out the these articles in a series so I can go more in depth with my analysis and give these guys the credit they deserve. We are going to start off with a bang and go right into MVP!!

MVP

1. Citrs

Record 5-1

1-1 Vs Cleveland Cash (Grizz)

2-0 Vs Zhajesus (Bucks)

1-0 Vs Bodega (Nets)

Stats

  • 38.5 PPG
  • 2 RPG
  • 8.3 APG
  • 2.2 STL

Citrs is the close frontrunner to take home MVP at the moment. He was picked up as a free agent by Drock and has dominated ever since, boasting an impressive 5-1 record with multiple wins vs other MVP candidates such as Cleveland Cash and Zhajesus. He doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon as he is currently averaging an eye popping 38.5 PPG and 8 APG and from the looks of it, might be the favorite to win the championship as well considering how good his line is playing right now. I look forward to seeing how Citrs closes this season out and if he can take his game to another level come playoff time.

2. Userpick

Record 9-0

1-0 Vs Bodega (Nets)

2-0 Vs Kuhrow (Heat)

1-0 Vs Shaun/Woohdy (Clips)

Stats

  • 22 PPG
  • 2 RPG
  • 18.3 APG
  • 5 STL

Userpick, the former 2kL Pro has come back to his VBA roots to pair up with the old gang of John, Haden and King to form quite the formidable line this season. Pick has been the orchestrator of the only undefeated line in the VBA currently with a record of 9-0 (his line did lose 1 game without him) and boasts decent wins over players like Kuhrow, Bodega, Shaun and Woohdy. While the strength of schedule and stats might not be the most eye popping, once you consider that this man is 9-0 and putting up 22 and 18 with LANDRY SHAMET (LOL!) it starts to really make his season so far very impressive and certainly up there with Citrs for MVP.

3. Cleveland Cash

Record 7-2

1-0 Vs Mizz (Warriors)

1-1 Vs Citrs (76ers)

1-0 Vs Fab (Heat)

Stats

  • 34 PPG
  • 2 RPG
  • 15.3 APG
  • 2 STL

Cleveland Cash is another longtime vet from the previous leagues that always had a knack for scoring, and that seems to still be the case now if not more so. Cash has been 1 of the most exciting players to watch this season (partly cuz Ja is a god) due to his extremely aggressive style of play and unwillingness to let anyone stop him from scoring and trying to win the game. He might have the most impressive strength of schedule all things considered. Despite losing 2 of his match ups, he boasts very legit wins over fellow MVP candidates Fab, Citrs and Mizz. Look for Cash to continue putting up numbers in bunches as he closes out the season and begins his run for a championship.

4. Fab

Record 5-4

1-0 Vs Shaun (Warriors)

Stats

  • 28 PPG
  • 15 RPG
  • 11 APG
  • 4 STL
  • 2 BLK

Fab, another longtime Vet and Former 2KL Star, signed back up with the VBA this season to have some fun and add another ring to his collection. While it has not been the smoothest of seasons thus far from getting stuck with the Heat for uhhhh reasons (Farah plz), to having a plethora of roster inactivity resulting in the Heat becoming a home for every ECU in the league. There has been one consistent through all of the bullshit and that is how effective Fab has been on the court. He has played a very strong schedule vs some of the top teams in the league (warriors 2x, Nets 2x and Grizz) and while he hasn’t always come out on top, it hasn’t been without trying, as he is the only player in the league currently averaging a triple double and he is doing it with Bam lol.

5. King Mizzark

Record 5-4

2-0 Vs Switzo (76ers)

1-1 Vs Zhajesus (Bucks)

1-0 Vs Bodega (Nets)

Stats

  • 35 PPG
  • 2 RPG
  • 16 APG
  • 1 STL

King Mizzark, Mr 2k Godz himself has come home to where it all started and has brought with him a ton of attention and expectations. As an owner he has done an impressive job acquiring talent and has put together a very impressive roster (dam near a 2k godz roster) of former pros (Bron) and comp team up vets (Pookie, Gee, Ebok and Cha1rz)… While Mizz has done a great job as owner, we are talking MVP right now, and to no ones surprise, Mizz is right up there to take home MVP. He has very impressive stats (yes it is Curry but 35 and 16 is still nice AF) and has played a mostly comp schedule with a mixed bag of results. Has impressive wins over Switzo twice (one was also vs Kurrupted who is 1 of the best players in the league imo), Split with Zhajesus and won his only game vs the extremely aids Nets and their star player Bodega. Mizz has all the tools to win MVP and potentially the championship, just a matter of hitting his shots and not turning the ball over. Look for Mizz and the Dubs to find their footing and be a force in the playoffs!

Closing Remarks

That’s it for my MVP Race.. Shout out to all the incredible performances so far this season and MVP should come down to the wire as any of these 5 players I mentioned could pull ahead with 1 amazing week! Let me know what you guys think and who y’all feel is the MVP so far!

Coming Soon

Exclusive Interview with x KING J0N x

Question 1: Can you elaborate on the rumour about you requesting a trade from the Suns?

Answer: The suns are full of friends but they have ass tendencies on the court. Its like playing with JR Smith. You dont know which skill is showing up. Its a love hate relationship. Our original plan was for me to play guard this season and have fun.  With pick signing up last minute, the game plan was to try hard with him. I know its a free league but when a defense is atrocious, i will spazz even if they are my friends. I don’t mind losing. But everyone who knows me knows I love defense. I love rotations. I love swinging. I love communication. We have potential to flood every line and every team in this league. No bullshit. I personally think everyone is ass and the way we built, noone should beat us in a series. Its when we dont play to that potential, that bothers the fuck outta me. The rumors began after the 76ers game. We lost by 30. We forgot how to play the game. We played like we were the celtics users. That’s unacceptable. We only lost 2 games and its not that serious but games like the 76ers game builds bad habits. So me spazzing about the defense lead to those rumors. We’ll get right though. It doesnt help that everything i say in general chat is a troll.

Question 2: You currently average 19.9 RPG, second in the league in total rebounds too. Which users in the league do you get excited to play against aka the shitters at Center?

Answer: Im licking my lips against the celtics (either line) and clippers (redhours line). I can play them with half a bottle of tequila down and still probably get 30 rebounds. I also think both Anthony Davis users are free pussy. Ill just play them sober

Question 3: After the sixers game, Saver posted a screenshot in the General Chat of him dropping 50 & 20 on you. He also said “DID I KILL THE SUNS DYNASTY”. What do you have to say to that? Do you think that game was a fluke and that they’re overhyping themselves, or do you think they really like that?

Answer: I dont think it was a fluke or that they’re over hyping them selves. Compared to average league skill, they’re good. They deserved that win. We played like complete shit and forgot how to play the game. If we play to our full potential, i dont think they’re touching us in a series tbh. I personally dont see anything special. They are good though. Its just up to us to show up every game

Question 4: In your honest opinion, rate the top 5 users in the league

Answer: Without dickriding, I dont think theres a top 5. I think theres 4 tiers in the league. Fab and Pick are in the first. They are the complete players. The second are players like mizzark/bron/gabe/saver/swizz/ruthless/king/etc who are really freaking good players and can carry lines but have weaknesses. The third are the average VBA players who arent special but do their job like myself. And the 4th are the shitters

Question 5: Are the suns keeping you in prison? If yes, where are your top destinations if you were let go?

Answer: They are definitely keeping me in prison. The owner trolls the fuck outta me. He is only good if hes high. If hes sober, he might be the worst shooter in the history of 2k

If i had a choice, id play with the warriors with gee/bron/mizzy/ebok. Or Heat with Gabe/Fab/Kuhrow. Other than that, nothing else interests me

After the 76ers dropped 50 on me, fuck them and their whole roster on some 50 Cent shit

Question 6: The lakers took away youngshot from AD and put him as Melo on a line with Fear x Painkiller as AD… What do you think about the lakers management making that move, resulting in a trade request rumour from Youngshot?

Answer:I think its a selfish decision by their owner/gm. I think youngshot is the best player on that team defensively. Thats not what melo provides. If they wanna stack a line, put shady or fear on lebron, fear/shady on westbrook, youngshot on AD, smoove and shig to round it out. Putting Youngshot on a role player is wasting his talent and the teams chances to win. Anything outside of that is low iq

Final question: Any other comments you’d like to say before we end this interview?

Answer: If you need to learn how to shoot, dont go to goodfella jokers camp. I don’t care about your time but thank you for the interview

VBA Transactions

VBA Transactions Update 

Call Ups And Send Downs 

  • Celtics completely revamp their roster under new owner LJ53

LJ brought up Mantis and Jersey Illest as his first moves  , two people he has a history with . I believe he’s getting people that will play their games and allow them to finish the season but don’t expect any crazy changes in Boston when it comes to winning games . 

  • Miami has been very active, dropping both bud and bama to IR 

Both were temporary changes , I don’t expect the roster to change much from here to playoffs . 

  • Nets pick up Ayo Tunechi and drop Cleveland4ever1

Pretty sure both of these guys have played for the nets throughout the season , with Ayo definitely being a more consistent player I could see this change being permanent

TRADES

The Golden State Warriors send Big Wadeo to Memphis for Ebok. 

  • Probably one of the best trades I’ve seen this season , with ebok getting to play with his parents and knowing he can produce on draymond or at center and with big wadeo instantly producing on Desmond bane for the grizzlies , both teams gained from this trade . 

Earlier in the week Miami Heat sent whoody to the grizzlies for IseecapBoy

  • Memphis wins this trade , with whoody being a solid player 1-5 and obviously knowing how to play with Steven adams he jumped right into a big role for Memphis , Iseecap on the other hand hasn’t really proved much , and has tended to be unreliable. Will the heat be able to get cap to reach his full potential? TBD
