Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this Deion Jones fella and his Madden 23 ratin’. Folks been talkin’ ’bout it, so I figured I’d chime in.
Now, I ain’t no fancy pants expert or nothin’, but I know a thing or two about watchin’ football, ya know? Used to watch it with my old man, bless his heart. Anyways, this Madden thing, it’s like a game, right? They give these players numbers, like how good they are, or somethin’ like that. Deion Jones, they say he’s an 82 overall.
- That sounds pretty good, don’t it? But lemme tell ya, numbers ain’t everythin’.
- You can have all the fancy numbers you want, but if you ain’t got the heart, well, you ain’t gonna be worth a lick.
From what I hear, this Deion fella, he’s a linebacker. That means he’s gotta be tough, gotta be scrappy. Gotta be willin’ to get down and dirty in the mud. It ain’t all about speed and fancy moves, no sir. It’s about grit. It’s about determination.
Now, they say he was out of the lineup some. Injured, maybe? I don’t rightly know. But that can mess with a fella’s ratin’, ya know? Can’t be your best if you ain’t playin’, that’s for sure. Madden 23, they got ratings for all sorts of players, all the teams. Thirty-two of ’em, I think. That’s a whole lotta football players!
They got these fellas makin’ the game, EA Sports they call ’em. They put a lot of work into figurin’ out these numbers, I reckon. But like I said, numbers ain’t everythin’. You gotta watch the games, see how these fellas play. That’s the real test.
I remember watchin’ linebackers back in the day, tough as nails. Mean as snakes, some of ’em. But they got the job done. This Deion fella, I hope he’s got that same kinda fire in his belly. An 82 ratin’, that’s respectable, I guess. But I wanna see him out there, hustlin’, makin’ tackles, showin’ folks what he’s made of.
They got all sorts of positions in football, ya know? Quarterbacks, runnin’ backs, wide receivers, all that jazz. And they all got their own ratings in this Madden game. They even got rankings and grades, whatever that means. Seems like a lot of fuss to me, but folks like it, so what do I know?
Madden NFL 23 came out on August 19th, so folks have been playin’ it and arguin’ about the ratings ever since. That’s just the way it is, I guess. People like to argue, especially about football.
This Deion Jones, he plays for… well, I can’t rightly remember which team now. But it don’t matter much, does it? A good football player is a good football player, no matter who he plays for. And an 82 ratin’, well, that just means he’s got somethin’ to prove. He’s gotta show folks he’s better than that number. He’s gotta play with heart, play with passion. That’s what really matters.
They got these Ultimate Team things too, where you can build your own team, I think. Sounds complicated to me, but the young folks seem to like it. You can find all sorts of information about these players and their ratings online, I hear. But I prefer to watch the games myself. That’s the best way to judge a player, in my opinion.
So, there ya have it. That’s my two cents on this Deion Jones and his Madden 23 ratin’. An 82 ain’t bad, but it ain’t the whole story. The real story is written on the field, under the lights, where the hits are hard and the crowd is roarin’. That’s where you see what a fella’s really made of.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about football’s made me hungry. And don’t you go tellin’ nobody I was talkin’ about this Madden stuff, ya hear? They’ll think I’ve gone soft in my old age.
