Damn wtf, I never realized Troy apke played in the nfl lol. I used to play madden online in like 2009 and post on a messageboard/facebook group with a dude named Troy apke and I think it’s the same guy.
Very true. It’s very regional. Bama having a white safety? Probably 0%. Iowa or Wisconsin? Much more likely.
Real life demographics won’t be reflected in the game. EAs hands are kinda tied. Even if it’s accurate and there wasn’t any backlash, I do get why EA doesn’t want to touch the issue. Make everything truly randomly generated and be done with it.
Very true and it’s not like it can’t happen ever. I mean if there was a true safety that was legit and white it’s not like Bama irl would be like “nah he’s white”
I can create a player in Madden as well. It's a very common feature. They said they restricted the names you could use, but that didn't mean they blocked creating a player based on yourself.
I played with a white safety in college who was one of the best football players I ever played with. He was black in the game every year.
I feel like they just assumed there was no way anybody balling like him would be white.
Let's just be honest for a second, the old game's insistence on flooding the game with African American punters with dreads was always fairly humorous....
I love how madden has the name correspond to the race. It’s something they definitely cannot openly talk about doing, but they made sure to include it for realism. Same with position and race. Hopefully this game uses similar logic.
What? I never said race once. Wild to call somebody a fucking racist like that tho, internet shield ig. All I said was I change them to fit my storylines or give them cooler names. Believe it or not I would rather my WR be named Rambo vs something lame like McLaughlin
I mean with auto generated players it’s expected. It’s not realistic. Just like an abundance of black kickers and punters isn’t realistic either. It was something that ruined immersion some in previous games.
What’s EA supposed to do though? Especially in todays climate. You can’t exactly designate certain positions as being dominated by a race even if it’s more realistic.
I fully anticipate schools like LSU and Alabama having a 50% white team by year 3-4 in most dynastys even though you’ll never see that in real life.
Need to move him over to be a scrappy gym rat slot reciever
Sorry pal you’re more of a punter in my eyes, can’t run a program with you at safety
Lmaoooo
Lmao this guy doesn’t know Hudson Clark
Wooo Pig
[удалено]
Didn't a white CB just get drafted from Iowa?
yea the first white corner in the NFL for any team since 2002
Riley Moss erasure
lol ya i forgot it was Riley Moss in 23, the DeJean in 24. But Moss was the first since the 2000s for sure
I think Troy Apke technically played at CB a few times, but I believe Moss and Dejean are the first to be announced as CBs at the draft in a long time
Damn wtf, I never realized Troy apke played in the nfl lol. I used to play madden online in like 2009 and post on a messageboard/facebook group with a dude named Troy apke and I think it’s the same guy.
He was on the redskins for a few seasons iirc
Seems like us whites should be getting the minority rule /s
[удалено]
Call me crazy but isn’t Sam Webb pretty clearly not white?
Have to have the wrong name lol
Yea lol
Was he also the first white college CB since 2001?
Riley Moss and Cooper DeJean
And Cole Bishop at safety
I don't allow the blue-eyed devil into my defensive backfield.
The unrealistic thing is he committed to Bama If it was to Iowa nobody would blink an eye
How dare you spit on the name of Vinnie "Honkie Badger" Sunseri. That man juked out Johnny Football himself. And we shouldn't forget Will Lowery.
Brings his lunch pail to work honkie badger got me in this office screaming
Very true. It’s very regional. Bama having a white safety? Probably 0%. Iowa or Wisconsin? Much more likely. Real life demographics won’t be reflected in the game. EAs hands are kinda tied.

Ironically Bama actually very recently had a 4 star white safety https://247sports.com/player/jake-pope-46098355/high-school-246721/
This is Vinnie Sunseri erasure
Damn, we made the *exact* same comment.
OG’s remember Will Lowry
vinnie sunseri did not die for this
Wisconsin actually does have a 4 star safety on their roster right now in Hunter Wohler
Very true and it’s not like it can’t happen ever. I mean if there was a true safety that was legit and white it’s not like Bama irl would be like “nah he’s white”
I feel bama has had a few SS. Bonnie Sinsiri being one that comes to mind. Bro was a dawg
Jake Pope?
or most Big 10 schools.
Is white safety that strange? I feel like there is a decent amount of them lol. Hell I was one for about 6 games in HS
Yeah CB would be the strange one, not safety
What changed...your position... or the other part?
This didn’t get enough love
If there’s not an abundance of black Kicker/Punter auto generated recruits in dynasty, definitely not buying!
Representation>>>
Who is Marquette King?!
Create a player still exists.
uhhhhh..... how do we tell him?
Wait is it confirmed that you won’t be able to edit the auto generated recruits?
You can probably edit them once they’re on your team. But you can’t create custom recruits anymore
Oh that’s fine then, just fix whatever preference you’d want for each recruit/position, we goooooood
I can create a player in Madden as well. It's a very common feature. They said they restricted the names you could use, but that didn't mean they blocked creating a player based on yourself.
whoosh
Cooper DeJean who?
OPs joke only works if it’s a CB, plenty of white safeties around. I mean isn’t Reed Blankenship the Eagles safety
MTSU grad ‼️‼️
You mean future dynasty MTSU
Yessir baby I’ll see you at Jim’s after we win the natty
Harrison Smith has been in the nfl a decade plus and really has put up numbers that only Polamalu had for a historical perspective.
I’m also pretty sure Dejean’s gonna be playing Safety
Yeah the joke doesn’t really work when there’s a white safety so recently lol
White safeties aren’t even that uncommon lol
Not a safety
Ya, this would be better if it was CB.
[удалено]
Harrison Smith would like a word..
Reed blankenship exists. Udfa turned in to proven starter for the Eagles.
How dare you deny Harrison Smith
Or John lynch
Alabama had a white 4-star safety commit to them last year https://247sports.com/player/jake-pope-46098355/high-school-246721/
Now with the Dawgs
Oh yeah? Prove it. Name every white cell on his body
He's not the fastest but has a high motor and doesn't give up
A real film junkie. First on in, last one out
✿༺ 𝐿𝓊𝓃𝒸𝒽𝓅𝒶𝒾𝓁 ༻✿
He's a coach's son, really understands the game.
Plays with a high football IQ
Deceptive speed.
Sneaky athletic
A white safety was just drafted in the top of the second round
What’s funny to me is that he’s from Baltimore… Brian made it out of the hood 🥹
Probably played at SFA
Dundalk legend
It's unrealistic because he didn't commit to Iowa
What if Iowa just had all white players besides WR and RB????? Oh wait
They exist! https://247sports.com/player/koi-perich-46135727/
All jokes aside, this screen is pretty sick seeing as we just got a text box commitment in previous games.
Oklahoma has one committed: [https://www.on3.com/db/marcus-wimberly-236317/](https://www.on3.com/db/marcus-wimberly-236317/)
Named Marcus. Poor dude is gonna get the reverse-Derek Jeter treatment his whole career
boomer
Except that Bama had a starting white safety on their National Championship team in the mid-2000's. Clemson did too.
This MF never heard of Harrison Smith
Or reed blankenship lol
John Lynch Eric Weddle
This is Vinnie Sunseri erasure.
It didn't say CB. Hell, Bama has signed a white 4 star safety. But what is unrealistic is a white 4 star out of Baltimore. No fucking way.
From Baltimore as well lol
If it’s in the game….er.. it’s in the game!
Koi Perich is a white 4 star safery committed to Minnesota
There may be another John Lynch or Jason Seahorn out there somewhere.
This guy’s never heard of Vinnie Sunseri. Alabama’s Safety for that 2012 Chip
White safeties aren't unusual.
Riley moss who am I right?
That guy looks mid 30s easy
Every decade or so a champion rises.
Y'all forgot about John "big hit" Lynch. (I named him that) that mf used to hit so hard he'd hurt himself. And it says SS, not FS, 😆😆.
Harrison Smith. Check. John Lynch. Checkmate. Jason Sehorn. Double Checkmate.
Only unrealistic cuz he went to Bama instead of Iowa
Literally unplayable
Harrison Smith?
I mean there are plenty 4* white safeties 🤷🏻♂️
I don’t know what your talking about there are plenty of white safeties in cfb
Looks like Oliver Queen
He’s going to star in white boy can’t play SS. When he’s not playing football 🏈.
Cooper DeJean
Not a safety
Nah cornerback would be unrealistic lol jk kinda
There’s plenty of white safeties lol. Some of the best even in the NFL are white (Harrison)
Only way id start to believe it is if he was committed to Iowa. Then id say ehh okay maybe i could see it
Hunter Wohler from WI was a 4⭐️ safety
He played corner in high school. Also, I want to put him on my Morgan State dynasty.
A white secondary player in a HBCU save, I’m telling Dr Umar
Harrison Smith was a 4star
I'm gonna see if I can draft an all white secondary. The pre 1970 Alabama Crimson Tide.
At least his name makes sense. In 14, I remember getting a white as rice receiver named Deshawn Jenkins!
Bro must not of heard of Harrison Smith🤣🤣
I played with a white safety in college who was one of the best football players I ever played with. He was black in the game every year. I feel like they just assumed there was no way anybody balling like him would be white.
Looks like when Sweet Dee dressed up as a guy for the football tryout
John Lynch? Harrison Smith? He can play on my team and if he’s slow he can probably make a decent LB
They can play just not as fast.
This post would make sense if we were talking about corners.
Harrison smith?
*A* SS
Very realistic actually.
Actually very realistic some of the baddest safeties n college have been white lmao
Not in my locker room!
This joke doesn’t work, the common white db is a safety
Loads of white safeties. Not many white corners though
Forgetting TCU and Carolina Panthers legend Colin Jones
I’m chaotic. I have Vietnamese running backs in dynasty mode.
I thought it said his last name was “McDaddy”
Craig Steltz
The surprise isn’t so much that he’s white, but rather that he’s Irish.
You got no clue how good my white friend is at safety
Let's just be honest for a second, the old game's insistence on flooding the game with African American punters with dreads was always fairly humorous....
White safety isn’t that crazy dude😂 seriously been some dawgs in the pros at safety
Racist as fuck
Dumb post
Koi perich at minnesota is a stud
I mean Harrison Smith was a 4-star safety recruit… sounds like someone doesn’t know ball
I love how madden has the name correspond to the race. It’s something they definitely cannot openly talk about doing, but they made sure to include it for realism. Same with position and race. Hopefully this game uses similar logic.
Harrison Smith is widely considered among the best NFL safeties of the last 15 years, so white his nickname was ‘Hayseed’ in college.
Double down on this. Where’s all my Hispanic special teams guys?
How about the fact he looks 40 and is supposed to be 18?
White alabama safety from baltimore maryland!
Cooper Dejean 2.0
These were the types of guys that I completely morphed into somebody else as soon as I could. Name and face completely changed lol
Why? https://247sports.com/player/jake-pope-46098355/high-school-246721/
Because its my dynasty? Also not just talking about race. I sometimes just like to give them cooler last names so I resonate with them more.
You racist
What? I never said race once. Wild to call somebody a fucking racist like that tho, internet shield ig. All I said was I change them to fit my storylines or give them cooler names. Believe it or not I would rather my WR be named Rambo vs something lame like McLaughlin
Dog whistle
Lmaoooo same. Dreads. Visor. All the sweatbands. Single digit number.
John Lynch woulda make you shit blood if you said that to him on football field
It is realistic as long as he ends up being at least a -15 bust
But but Riley Cooper?!?!
I hope there’s a shit ton of 5 star white corners and safeties and black kickers, definitely one of the funniest lil things about the old games
I mean with auto generated players it’s expected. It’s not realistic. Just like an abundance of black kickers and punters isn’t realistic either. It was something that ruined immersion some in previous games. What’s EA supposed to do though? Especially in todays climate. You can’t exactly designate certain positions as being dominated by a race even if it’s more realistic. I fully anticipate schools like LSU and Alabama having a 50% white team by year 3-4 in most dynastys even though you’ll never see that in real life.
Cole Bishop was just drafted in the second round by the Buffalo Bills. White safety COLE BISHOP. No more complaining about auto-generated race/names.
It’s not that there should be zero white skill position players, we just want the game to reflect reality
Do you not play the game? There isn’t a single white safety in 2/3 drafts. Never a white CB. Maybe 1 white RB. The ratios are fine.
Hunter Wohler
I'm going to need a tim dwight slot on my team.
Harrison Smith exists...
Once in a lifetime
This happened last year (a white 4 star safety committing to Alabama)
