What is the goal of this series Griffin? Is the goal to be a Not The Expert style thing and view it all from the inside, or a series where we (theoretically) view it all from the outside?

Are you the player of the video game, controlling all that happens, or a media guy for UEC, hosting a local radio show about the brand new team?

Both can work. Whatever you feel like doing, but I feel like right now you've got a foot in both buckets, and a choice may need to be made on that. I'm not sure you can pull off both personas at once. Other than that though, this is a good jumping off point buddy! I'm still really excited as to what UEC can become! Colorado is a bit of a yikes though. That may be a tough one.

I'm planning of more of a Not The Expert style where we view it all from the inside. I think both styles can coexist some like you see on Mr. Hurricane's series, which I'm drawing more inspiration from.

The AI is downright bad in this game, so I'm going to be playing, but the videos will appear more like a broadcast if that makes sense.

Colorado's definitely a tough start, but with them being one of our main rivals along with Colorado State, I thought it would be an interesting start. Just finished filming it yesterday and it's going to be an interesting watch for sure!

Is this game any good? I've never played it. It's EA, so I just assumed it was going to be horrendous. Your comments on the AI are not a good start, but you are choosing to spend time in your life playing it...

Personally, I really like it. The AI really isn't as bad as I'm making it out to be. It makes some dumb decisions when you're spectating, hence me playing. There's bugs like with every EA game and some things aren't as polished as I'd like, but it's fun. I'd recommend picking it up on sale, probably around playoff time, if you're interested

Very good! I'll take a look at it. That's the first time I've ever had anybody recommend any EA game in a long time LOL.
