True he totally whiffs in the playoffs on a consistent basis

What a strange series this has been. I’d prefer 1 of 2 scenarios for the future. 1. Long sim to end the series until Stockton retires 2. “One last ride” - take over the team for a final season. Go all in and see what happens (if you do this, please re-sign Clinton)

This was such a cool idea for continuing this series. Was not expecting it but absolutely loved it. Not sure what I'd like to see next time, but would be happy with another season like this, or a new coach in the same universe

id like to see a new coach, or the old coach returns, at a new team as well. Not only gives it the chance to get a little bit of freshness in the series, it also allows us to see the end of the raiders story. Another nice aspect is that you could prolong this series, which then would probably end in a sweet spot. Unlike if you’d stop here. Theres no time for a new franchise and no football what all until the mew games would be torture lol. This gives us a chance for 2-4 more episodes and a little break before the new games come out!

Hey cane will you be doing this type of series with the new college football game coming out? I would love that. Should have AJ be dropped down to the college level to have success then climb his way back up to Madden 25 😂

Honestly, I don't know if I want to see you take back over a team led by Denzel Stockton. He is exactly who we thought he was. For realisms sake, I say you simulate another two seasons or so and see if the Raiders get any better. If not, by then, Stockton's contract will be movable, and you can say that the Raiders came crawling back after realizing they chose the wrong guy to get rid of.

Seeing the title threw me for a loop

Seeing you be first had the same effect on me 😋😊

Denzel Stockton is just like James Harden.

I think you should look at coach firings and see if theres a team that needs to be rebuilt fired their coach and have that team "hire" AJ Ray. You could keep tabs on the Raiders (would be even better if its a team like LAC or DEN that fires their coach) but i think it would make more sense to have this series continue to follow AJ Ray on a new team with some updates on how the Raiders are doing.

Head coaches for users get hired during the playoffs so if you simmed through all of the playoffs without checking then you might’ve skipped your job offers

I swore it was some the same screen you got fired on last episode. But I was probably just being dumb. Or blending my firing. Idk. Lol

Living up to his namesake, Stockton passed AJ Ray to the unemployment line

This is actually very realistic in my opinion. Only Mark Davis would fire the coach after going to the Super Bowl and then having a slightly down year

Really Appreciate Cane For Introducing This Style Of Play, I Started A Franchise With Titans & We Barely Got By Mahomes In The Playoffs..It Took A End Of The Game PI On A Hail Mary In The End-Zone & We Kicked A Field Goal Winning 36-34

36 yards in the 1st round of the playoffs after signing a 250 million dollar contact is insane.

Dang man that was some incredible storytelling! Very impressive depth of detail. That was such a mundane season outside of a fun win streak, but digging into the Stockton storyline was so compelling!! Well done sir 😎👍👍

Maaan, I saw part of this caption and almost threw upp🤧 I thought my coach got fired IRL😭🤣🤣

Honestly wouldn’t mind you keeping tabs on the Raiders moving forward. But just making this series about AJ Ray as a coach from now on. Maybe moving over to an NFC Team?

It would have been really cool if Ray got hired by another team but I still really liked this video. I would be interested in seeing if there is a way to get Ray hired by another team and go against the Raiders. Would make a really interesting and personal storyline.

Long term sim until they actually make the SB again then give us a classic full game…taking them over as a new coach isn’t realistic enough. I can’t believe you didn’t get another offer, is it even possible to get one?

Maybe recreate AJ Ray and take control of another team and do the "he took a year off" narrative? That way you can still see how the Raiders do.

Would love to see the series continue, maybe on a different team?

This has been such a great series! Look forward to all of your videos!

Great episode!

Tough way to end it, but fitting for your 2024 Madden series overall. Saints are trying to live with Mac Jones, which is hopeless, and now this team goes brainless in the SB and follows it up getting fired... Have we seen a worse overall year for a creator?! Lol

Woah just took them to the bowl last season now fired ungrateful ass raiders

21:24 OK Cane, I give you a lot of crap but getting fired and then looking at the team without you is very interesting Work.

Give Stockton a number one wr

It's hard for me to really get immersed in these Madden simulations because Madden is just such a broken game. On a broken engine. He does an excellent job at adding some of the immersion that the game is incapable of providing because they just don't care. ... But it's just depressing how bad simulation games have gotten for sports the last two decades and in particular since the jump up to the PS4 Xbox One generation it's been a disaster. Between ultimate team, the exclusive agreement, the terrible engine... I might have to get into emulation or something.

It's got to be the playbook. This team has excellent personnel, it could improve the coaching (don't forget to spend your staff points) but overall, you would expect better. Simming is an unreliable way of determining the best team, I personally don't like it and prefer the screen sim. The results are more consistent.

I think signing or taking over Atlanta would be perfect for a narrative purpose

I dunno about taking the team over when they've already committed to Stockton without your say. Let them succeed or fail on their own.

Yeah I definitely want to see a new QB. Stockton has clearly got no clutch in him. He is a waste of $250M, and is taking up cap space that could be better utilized, for better results. I want this team to do well and understand why we kept him around for so long but he has proven time and again, that he is 1. Inconsistent and 2. Fails in the big events

Looks like AJ Ray's firing was a blessing in disguise. Stockton's an albatross who will always save his worst for last.

Do not give up on Stockton you have to get a better coaches when you have better coaches he was performing better

take back over, change sim playbook to something good keep slow sim playbook yours and just go all out on one final season then long sim to Stocktons retirement

You should turn this into your 5 year rebuilds. You already are into the future. Take over the worst team and rebuild them while also keeping an eye on the Raiders to see the end of what you built.

Raiders ownership looking at that first game with Stockton forgetting what team he plays for and thinking, "Maybe the coach wasn't the problem..."

And the last, don't forget that one!

Make him change his whole coaching philosophy after another year. Pick rarely used schemes in the NFL like run and shoot and 3 - 4 storm. You could either use custom playbooks or playbooks that are close to those like a fangio defense team. I create a coach use pistol with a custom playbook and 46 scheme with NE or multiple 3 -4 playbook (i actually found an Alabama defense playbook that works great with the scheme). And then build a team that fits the scheme (over 80%)

One thing I learned this week: Mac Jones > Denzel Stockton.

Spin a wheel on what team to take control of and go from there or pick a random team and end the series by simming 10 years and checking out all the storylines just how I’d like to see this end

No wonder Stockton/Ferrell struggled, coach had him playing two-way. Not half-bad as a linebacker, but man is it tough in today’s NFL.

If you take the team back over you should have to use a completely different playbook and scheme on offense and defense.

30:08 no you've been fired. Leave the Raiders alone lmao

Come back for at least one more season, with Big Papa Patrick as the head coach!

Give it one more year and see what they can do it or choke it again. Right now it looks like Stockton is the new Dak Prescott of the AFC. Also make Stockton a Star Dev and lower his OVR since he isn't great under pressure in big games but that is IMO.

Take over for 1 more season or 2 and go all in. Anoyher comment said this and get clinton back. Then jusr ling term sim live stream. Its been a minute since we did live.

I think I prefer to see this one simmed out where AJ Ray moonlights as a youtuber doing live commentary on the NFL.

I vote for getting hired by a new team

I just don't understand how Stockton is performing so badly.

i would be very interested in you joining Denver or another team in the AFC, so we can have a redemption game and still see what the Raiders are up to.

Well u could bring back another legend to coach from the raiders how about big papa

I say either keep simming this way to get to the end of the series before CFB25 is here OR resume roster control as this coach until the end of the series

As a Packer fan Stockton had an Aaron Rodgers season. Amazing regular season stats and then a playoff shitter.

I don’t know how you will feel about this, but I think Coach Ray should comeback but with a new team. Raiders moved on from him. Ultimate redemption story would be winning with a new team.

I don't think Stockton is worth the bother. I love your series, always, you provide so much good entertainment and in real life I love the Raiders, but somehow I can't root for Stockton. Every time the guy needs to produce he comes up with an interception. I feel You should be AJ Ray's brother and take over another team in the AFC or even a surprise comeback with AJ Ray himself. Takeover a team in the AFC that is in desperate need of a coach, maybe Buffalo? Well whatever you think of, I think it will be great. thnx my man for all the time you put into these franchises. Have a good one.

Would’ve thought cane was usering Stockton for week 1

Stockton has become the down fall of Coach Aj and the Raiders! The only saving grace maybe is to user Stockton 🤷🏾‍♂️ Take over Stockton’s career IMO

The raiders are literally just my cowboys

Take over as Tim Cane the og Raiders coach from madden 13 as soon as this coach gets fired.

AJ Ray returns to coach the worst team in football to prove the Raiders wrong. Or the worst team in the AFC or division if you wanna force some raiders matchups.

I know many folks are saying to dump the Raiders but this series what about a Raiders rebuild! We got to have our Superbowl win. I say sim until Stockton's contract is up, dump him and get a real Playmaker. We need to end with a Raiders Superbowl dub!

Art Shell 2.0 but actually a good coach

Maybe just take over as the GM for Perkins?

Maybe take over the Broncos and set a goal to build them up to overtake the Raiders and win the Super Bowl? I say the Broncos because... well, they're cursed. Or maybe take over the worst team in the league and start to rebuild them.

It's time for Big Papa Papagianopolis to save this team

I hate the bug where we never get a job offer after being fired.

Take them back over and sort this mess out, can’t see Stockton winning a ring though he seems awful when watching in engine compared to his rating

time for Cane to return!!!

Time to rebuild!

Idk man. Maybe do a new head coach for the Raiders and have AJ Ray take over a college program in the new CFB game.

I wouldn’t mind the long sim aspect for the future of this series, just put out more Saints franchise 😅

I knew they paid him too early 😂

dont go back to the raider but either take over den or chargers or another team but keep an eye on the raiders progress.. they just extended the new coach... aj ray storyline is his needed a year away from football, because he didnt know if he still had it in him after a bad stint.... now he rested and fresh... and the storyline could be teams wanted ray but he decided to take a break... broncos wanted to sign you now your back adam schefter reports you took over the broncos or another team...

You should go to a new team!

Stockton seems to choke in big games, he's rated a 98ovr but plays more like a 78ovr.

Leave it to the raiders to blame AJ Ray when Stockton was the problem the entire time 😂

I’m not gonna lie, I really enjoyed this video style. If you did something similar to this for he whole Madden 25 series on this channel, I wouldn’t be mad. Maybe bump it to 1-3 episodes per regular season, majority just sim and a few highlights from big games. Then, I’d be fine with each playoff game getting its own episode. I don’t know how long this video took you to make, but I think that would be a fun idea and help you get through a bunch of seasons. Also, no more coach firing lol

I actually like throwing coach firing on in this situation. Be there for almost 6 years with no sustained success. Makes sense to fire the coach

Stockton really is just Dak

What if u join a different NFL team and take them over

Great series but you tied yourself to the wrong QB

Head coach: Trevon Randolf

Stockton must be related to Prescott

Make AJ ray a coach of one of the other teams in the division

Stockton is liter Dak. Id get a new QB asap. Trade Stockton asap tale a hit re group

I wouldn't do the Raiders again if I was doing this series. I'd keep the series going through AJ Ray's eyes and perhaps find another team after getting his batteries recharged and come back with say another AFC team that's struggling that has the possibility of facing the Raiders say once a year unless that team is the Broncos. Then it'd be AJ Ray: REDEMPTION and start putting the boots to the Raiders consistently and make the Super Bowl and win it. Or go through the NFC with a team to meet them in the Super Bowl to show you could go there and win. To take over the Raiders again, wouldn't have much in entertainment value besides to see the players finish their careers. The coach needs the story this time, a new team, and hopes. Perhaps take some players from the Raiders so they could be with there coaches like Ferrell, Chambers, and a handful of others unless they go into Free Agency.

What in the hell is this? FANTASY LAND

Time to end this series lol 😭

Has he changed his sliders??

Draft an elite CB please.

How can I find your slider set as I would like to use it fir mines

Stockton meter in the toilet as it should be.

Start with the broncos as your AJ Ray and take revenge on the Raiders for firing you

Long term sim at this point; at least, thats my take on it.

Please, the fans cant take another season with Stockcorn... Trade him and deal with the cap penalty later

Why is Tua wearing #3?

Since when does Tua wear #3?

The franchise is done, with Stockton at QB they have reached their potential and are on the decline with ageing vets like White, Crosby, Jacobs. The only way to save it would be to flip stockton but thats to much of a cap hit.
