In a result that must leave EA Sports more than a little red-faced, professional Madden NFL 20 player Raidel ‘Joke’ Brito won the Madden Bowl 2020 Championship this weekend – using a roster without a quarterback in it. The e-sports superstar used Washington Redskins punter Tress Way to hand the snaps off, as part of a devastating running game based on the Oakland Raiders’ offensive playbook.
The tournament sees competitors utilising a salary cap in order to select a squad, and Joke was able to save big in the quarterback position, allowing him to build an unbeatable offence and defence. While his tactics are impressive, it’s not a particularly good look for the game that he was able to shut out his opponent 17-0 without throwing the ball once.
Joke won’t care one bit, though: he scoops an impressive $65,000 for his efforts. Still, we’re not sure the Kansas City Chiefs would have won the Super Bowl with Dustin Colquitt in the quarterback position as opposed to Patrick Mahomes, but then again, we suppose the San Francisco 49ers did make it all the way to the big game by primarily running the ball. It’s a legit strategy, we guess.

This article might as well be in Spanish, honestly.
credit to that man if its allowed in the game then EA lol
Oh dear, not a good look at all for EA. Honestly at the same time though, sports games get to a point where arcade gameplay is more fun than a complete simulation. I would rather take a little bit of video game logic instead of playing Tiger Woods and having to walk to each hole.
His offensive line and defense in general were absolutely stacked!
While it would absolutley drive me insane if I was his opponent, can't fault him as he was just making the most of the ruleset at hand. Def see them switching it up in the future as the flaw has been exposed now. Congrats to the winner!
@TrueAssassin86x wow that's wild! Sticking it to the "man" I guess lol!
"You play to win the game".
American football: the punter is the only player who can touch the ball with his foot, hence he is the lowest of the low on the team.
And yet, if he wants to play, I hope my kid is a kicker so he doesn't break his brain. Here's to basketball or e-sports Punter MVP!
Just goes to show how unrealistic Madden is.
EA will address this by putting a solitary slider up in the default options for Madden 21.
Shame Draft Kings forces you to select a QB for NFL e-sports, the position may become redundant after this.
Yeah, but in the States, that punter would have held out the following year demanding a $30 million a year contract extension.
@Badheelman - come to think of it, I think anyone can legally kick the ball in American football, maybe lineman aside, as long as they are behind the line of scrimmage. Or is it just a few? I guess I need to go back to school, to wit....
NCAA FOOTBALL21?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Tress Way is a heck of a punter though.
@kyleforrester87
Us here across the pond don't see the appeal of tea and crumpets! In fact, I still don't know what the hell a crumpet is, haha!
@Arugula
Why are you talking to me instead of playing TLOU?? Hahaha! Also, why would a crumpet have "flower" in it??? Just messing with you of course!
@Arugula
That was really quick!! I would personally put TLOU in my top 5 favorite games ever. I'm glad you played it! You and I gonna have to play some Madden some time together playa!
@NYJetsfan123 tea and crumpets, now you’re talking my language!
But of course nobodys going to talk about how his opponet did not score a single point vs him in the championship or the fact that they were playing SALARY CAP MODE in that tournament you had to pretty much be one way or another on offense Drini was one of the hottest players from madden 18-19 winning 2 MCS major tournaments and won the madden bowl last year winning 40-7 (something like that it was a flood.) and he tried to be both run/pass on offense but got eliminated so what joke did was have a punter at qb so he could invest more cap into his defense but no ones talking about that. I promise you the scheme joke was running would not work in any other mode of madden 20 besides salary cap you could be run heavy but you wouldnt have a punter at qb with o line at wide outs. im begging someone to debate me on this.
@TrueAssassin86x I feel you if this was the only game that was played in the tournament...
