TRANSCRIPT

hello everyone and welcome to the behind

the scenes of Roose Sports my name is

Seer and today I'll be interviewing a

wide range of people within the

community and feel free to ask any

questions you

have so first off I'm going to introduce

you to di so di if you tell everyone a

little bit about

you um uh I'm dime I play a lot of

football Fusion which is one of the

football games on Roblox Sports

um there's a bunch of different football

games but I play football Fusion I'd say

it's probably the biggest one due to the

range of people that play

it cool okay yeah the next person I'm

going to move on to is

Hudson yeah so I'm huie uh I make

content on Tik Tok and uh I play

Ultimate Football mostly I'm an ultimate

football activist and uh honestly uh we

compete in a lot of leagues we do a lot

of things within the community we

overall just have fun and uh I'm just

here for the

games cool okay um and then

Jason um if you guys couldn't tell I am

the creator of Ultimate Football I've

been on the Roblox platform for 10 no

almost 12 years now um I've made free

football games over the course of the

last seven years so I've been in the

sports Community for a long time so

longer than most of these people have

been alive

okay probably you know it is always

interesting finding kids who are who

were born after my first football

game cool and then I'm going to move on

to JJ as the next

person hi yeah I'm JJ SWAT I create

content uh mostly around ff2 sometimes I

do some variety uh but mostly football

fusion and uh

yeah fair enough okay and then king of

light

all right hi guys I'm Kingo uh nice to

meet you guys and obviously I've been in

the r sport scene for about 10 years um

uh mainly ofl AFL uh lfg hbb NBA I mean

I could go on and on all day about

leagues I've covered so we're gonna

we're gonna stop

there cool and then the last person is

pasta hey friends pasta here uh I am

currently streaming for HVB which is a

Roblox baseball league but I started out

in football I've also covered hockey

socer and a wide variety of sports and

love to stream do audio and Graphics so

that's everyone in today's event and I

think the best question to start off

with will be aimed at Jason and the

question will be what sparks your

interest in creating sort of Roose

Sports and the group in a

way uh competition has always been a big

big thing in my family and that's

something that I kind of learned from my

dad because he used to play football in

college and so the way I kind of got

started in football games was um I used

to play a game called new football

legends which for all you oldies you

remember that game but for those that

don't it was one of the first kind of

games on on Roblox that was actually

like a football game and me and my

buddies were like we would play it all

the time and um of course I would always

lose but I was thinking at at the time

was like you know I can do so much

better than this I can actually you know

I and I had never made a game before I'd

never done anything like that and so I

was convinced that I could make a better

game um and it took three games it took

three of them to finally get there uh

and this last April is where we finally

hit our stride um but

uh Sports has always been a part of my

life you know my dad always took me to

um Seahawks games he's always taken me

to um Air Force games um and it's always

just been like something that's been a

part of my life since i' since I've um

grown

up um real quick before we ask the next

question I just want to make sure was

that era's new football legends you

talking about the one that was made by

er no that's uh something guest what was

his name oh Legend of gas yeah Legend of

Gest

that not not sorry

sorry awesome okay and then the next

question was sort of be an open question

unless someone thinks it' be better end

at then but the question is what are

some of the unique challenges or rewards

that you've gained from running a Road

sports related

group I mean I think I can answer this I

think I can answer I think I can answer

this one uh there's a lot of there's a

lot of benefits but there there's also a

lot of challenges when it comes to that

sometimes it can be absolutely mentally

draining to just like keep it up the

entire time like you have to like it you

almost treat it as a a second portion of

your life when you're full-timing that

so just to kind of like have your own

life and then kind of like a life where

you're doing a lot of things for a bunch

of people in a Roblox Community that's

like two completely different things

where you have to tend to both of them

equally so I mean just like the the

division of time when you have so many

other things going on in your life is is

a big challenge to it my

opinion okay reward sorry the big for me

is um just the amount of people that uh

play this game and want to get better or

any of these games and just the ability

to um show them ways to improve and

seeing that payoff of them getting

better and then thanking you for you

know showing them uh you know how to do

that so just seeing that improve as

people just strive to be better at

something they love is is really

rewarding

okay I I oh got tell no go for it go for

it uh I've liked a lot of the portions

because I my main thing on YouTube is

where I create uh like competitive

videos cuz a lot of people uh like for

like I kind of made it a staple with my

channel to record a lot of My League

games that I play in and that's where my

league um my channel really started to

blow up but a lot of it was because

people wanted to see that side of

football Fusion where a lot of the

content creators were just playing like

public servers and stuff like that well

I started playing the competitive aspect

and that's something that a lot of

people wanted to see um I think it's

just cool to like be able to do so many

things within Roblox Sports cuz there's

a lot of different Stones you can unturn

that could turn into like something

people want to see and there's a lot of

lot of stuff that's still uncovered that

content creators can just keep finding

and keep finding ways to produce better

content

overall absolutely and I just want to

sayc uh that the growth of the community

has just been the absolute joy to see

over 10 years I've been in this I think

it's been so incredible to see you know

I mean obviously I started with offl

back in 2013 see games like Ultimate

Football or like a dream come true uh

Jason so give give credit to Jason there

and also I I think just continue to see

ll's Community grow and AFL and all

those leagues um you know I mean

starting off with like zero members to

now ofl has almost 40,000 group members

it's unbelievable to see and I just I

just think seeing the growth of the

community and continuing to see us go

from six teams inl to one point we had

34 teams a complete College league with

20 teams is absolutely incredible and I

think that that's just been an absolute

joy to

see awesome okay yeah so as you

mentioned you hit a massive mile account

for the amount of members so a massive

congratulations for that the next

question is sort of on that topic and

it's how do you go about building and

maintaining a strong and engaged

Community well that's Hood that's all I

think I think I think uh a big portion

of it was a lot of the things about like

okay to start off we obviously marketed

it through games through like word of

mouth and things like that but a big

thing that I think is very underrated in

this is that if we like rose Sports

typically you like real Sports and

that's something that bonds this

community together I talk with other

people about Real Sports all the time

and that kind of goes hand inand with

each other that's a big portion of it

there's another thing which is like

media where we'll cover other people and

we like to make people feel included in

it when we like to type articles and

make things about like players and stuff

like that they like it when they can see

their name of their team up there that

they did good so that's a big portion of

it too we like to include everybody we

like to make everyone feel like they are

part of the community so I think that's

a big emphasis as

well absolutely and if I could interject

here too I just wanted to say um I think

one thing is I I started streaming three

years ago for the community I would have

streamed way sooner if I knew what I was

doing I had no idea what I was doing and

then I didn't have PC and I had to save

up for PC and all that but um I

absolutely you know I think lot of it is

a lot of dedication I think we can all

all of us here can agree to that um

streamed almost every day for the past

three years just about uh very very

rarely I was actually nervous to the

point where when I went to Disney World

last uh in August this year I was

nervous to go away from my channel and

see am I going to see a spike uh

downward and worship and all that I was

nervous to see that so I think that's

definitely something that I think we can

all attest

to yeah definitely adding on to what

Kingo said like I remember um this year

my dad got a house down in New Jersey at

the shore for like a month during July

uh for all of July and I remember I

would go down for like a week because

that's the amount of content I had and

then I'd come home edit a bunch and then

go back and I just did that the entire

month so like I kind of had to F I had

to like make my schedule around playing

Roblox football which is kind of like

nerdy to say but

I I have to like there's a lot of

sacrifices that come with this like I've

had to skip some IRL events like

football games and stuff like that just

to play a game or something like

that yeah um adding on to that yeah it

ulate football took three years to make

and there were a lot of sacrifices that

I had to make but I think that in in the

end it's it's all worth it and I think

just kind of watching a community grow

and interact and being able to interact

with them where whether that be um

people in like say our older audience or

people in our much younger audience I

think it's such a joy just to see

people's reactions and the impact that

you can make as a community leader on um

kids and individuals I think that's in

my opinion the most rewarding part um

obviously making games is fun but I I I

do it for the community I think it's

more fun when you make an impact on

people and it's a lasting impact when

Jason I wanted to say I really

appreciate you as a developer because

you actually interact with the community

and take their words into consideration

unlike other ones I'm not going to name

any names but uh I think we think we

might know who I'm talking about I mean

one of one of the nice things about

being one of the nice things about

football Universe I think I mean um

obviously football Universe was never as

big as football fusion and you can go we

can go on about why but I think what was

nice about it is because it was such a

small game it really made such a small

tight-knit community and I with able to

become friends with some of the a lot of

the people that were in the community um

a lot a lot of my friends that I've made

on the platform and in general have been

made because of that game and that's one

of the biggest things I love and I'll

take away from that game is is the

connections and the memories that I made

with it um versus nowadays I don't think

with Al football I would get the same

effect because it's such a big game

there such a big community and I'm

interacting with so many people all the

time um you know I don't I don't think I

would get the same experience so you

know I I really appreciate that kind of

slow rise to

popularity absolutely when I was just

gonna ask uh Jason too I just wanted to

ask when did your first game come out

just because I'm curious to remember I

don't remember exactly when I'm

curious so that was sophomore in your

high school so that would have been 2015

2016 is that was that was Roblox NFL one

um and then uh Roblox NFL 2 came out

2017 and then also football this last

April cool okay so all of that is very

interesting to know and I'm sure other

people will be wondering how can they

get involved in Rose Sports whether

that's helping you guys or even being

able to start their own sort of mini

group do you have any tips or advice for

that

I think I can I think I can take this

one as well uh when it comes to wanting

to get involved into the league there

are I think it people like us you can

you can literally reach out to any of us

and people that are like that you're see

hearing talk right now are completely

open to helping you guys get involved

into the game that is that is a part of

our pleasure we want that to happen so

again if you reach out to any of us we

will easily help you guys get involved

but to start your own thing it it it

takes a little bit of a community it

takes a little bit of getting used to it

doesn't just happen like oh I just

discovered this game today therefore I'm

going to run the biggest like Community

tomorrow it takes a little bit of time

it takes a little bit of those

connections that Jason had talked about

but if you really want to get started

into it just just start playing fidget

with it trial and error keep doing it a

bunch of times and then you'll crack the

formula

eventually uh I can add on to this uh uh

speaking leagues wise if you're trying

like it's really easy to get involved

with the community just by playing

public servers and messing around with

your friends and those uh sorts of

things but if you're trying to get

involved in leagues that's also not very

hard at all uh like there's a yeah

there's the biggest leagues like there's

lfg there's AFL there's stuff like that

but to go on with it there's also things

called side leagues which obviously

aren't the main leagues they're smaller

but you could still like get franchise

owner in those uh build your way up get

better at the game and then like just

apply to become an fo in one of the

bigger leagues so getting involved

actually isn't n all that hard like it

may seem like it's kind of complex but

honestly it's really not that

difficult I'm going to say too is and I

think people really underestimate this

if you want to get your name out there

doing media articles you know that type

of stuff that can really get your name

out there and I think people think oh I

can only get my name out there if I

score seven touchdowns every game and

there's other ways to get your name out

there to get your foot in the door to

start and you know people offer me and

I've never played any of these Gam games

because I'm a streamer so you know

that's your way you could actually get

in your foot in the door and I think

that's

interesting if I may actually that for a

second K you bring up a great Point um

because I'm in a very similar boat I my

my row sports playing days are far from

Far Over but um people have been

recruiting me from from different

leagues notably hardcore to baseball uh

despite not having played a game ever in

the league so um I think that the the

med media aspect of getting yourself

more involved is definitely very

important and definitely a good point to

bring

up absolutely and I wanted to also say

that um I mean that does for all the row

sports and leagues I mean

ofl uh AFL lfg hcbb bmhl you know nrba

Road basketball hockey every sport I

mean you can get your FR in the door in

so many different ways and I wanted to

also say that we've been T talking all

about row football because I think

that's most of ours favorite here but

there are so many different row sport

leagues and you'll see people who are

cross sport athletes they call them you

know the Roblox Bo Jackson out here like

playing htbb at 8 o' and then going out

there and playing an offl game at 10 you

know so it's definitely something to

see awesome okay

so with everything that has just been

said

how do you see the future of Ro Sports

evolving do you think there could be new

sports added or what do you think could

happen to it in the

future I think most of the sports have

been like covered and they all have very

main games I think if if you have paid

any attention to the member surge that

we have had in just Rose Sports in

general over the past like like I'm just

going to say two three weeks or

something like that it has gone from

about 5,000 6,000 daily players uh it in

in I'm not going to name any specific

names uh but Ultimate Football has gone

from 5 to 6,000 members to 26 to 30,000

constant players in the game which is

also a byproduct of a the game getting

promoted on the homepage B PlayStation

players coming over because they are now

crossplatform with that and C kind of

just word of mouth and social media

exposure so those are three main

components that are like actually vital

for the growth of that so if you can do

that in the football community I don't

see why you wouldn't be able to do that

in row baseball row hockey row soccer

any of these other

games add on to that I think part of

what can help with the growth is

actually like integration with with I I

want to say Brands but I also want to

say just the leagues in general like the

actual leagues like I think um getting

the NFL or the NHL or the NBA somewhere

in roadblocks is a great way to expand

it um I know that those leagues are

trying to appeal to younger audiences

and I think this is the the best way to

do it is through Roblox sports games

because a lot of young kids who can't

afford the big 6070 games on consoles

come here to to to play um sports games

on Roblox so trying to find a way to

appeal to a much younger audience I

think is going to be the future of

Roblox Sports in general and then by the

time that you know we get to that point

that younger audience will have matured

a little bit and um have created so many

memories and experiences on this

platform that they're going recommend it

to their siblings you know or their

siblings friends or you know so on and

so forth I think I think a lot of the

growth for sports games in general comes

from the younger audience and if you can

appeal to that then you are

set absolutely and I

think I know that you guys said most

sports are covered and I agree that

that's true to an extent most of the

major sports I think there's definitely

sports that you know and this is where I

would go in the future if I was doing

Row Sports um make sports that maybe

aren't representing as much maybe they

aren't as popular of sports especially

in America but maybe they have a huge

International following like I think

Rose soccer has yet to hit its potential

because I think the games are so stale

for Rose soccer and I think we need to

see more like rose soccer like a

mainstream Rose soccer game like an

ultimate football or something but we

haven't seen that we've seen it be so

closed and then maybe something like a

lacrosse game or a cricket game or

something you know get those

International audiences coming into the

row sports scene I think would be

huge uh to go along with what Kingo said

uh a lot of the sports have not been

unlocked yet like yeah there's been a

lot of sports that have been covered but

obviously not every single sport has

been covered yet but when it comes to

actually growing those Sports uh I don't

think it could be any easier today

because as we've seen in the recent

years the bloom of uh Tik Tok and

YouTube shorts being made making a game

has never been easier to promote along

with making like a YouTube channel or

something like that being on Tik Tok

just posting yourself like messing

around with friends just funny videos of

you like that grows people so fast like

we've seen so many creators get made off

of those apps alone that making a game

that appeals to a certain audience you

can find that audience on Tik Tok and

then promote it that way so uh promoting

games could really never get easier at

this

point

I would say that it's a little it's

still definitely hard to promote a game

um I've been through the ropes of of

struggling to actually get a game up and

running multiple times as everybody

knows um and I think social media is

usually the biggest way to do that um

you and it's always the hardest because

you're playing you're playing against

multiple different algorithms whether

that be um the Tik Tok algorithm whether

that be the YouTube algorithm whether

that be um uh you know twitch you also

have to bug creators you know Dime dime

talking to you to play the games that

you make um you know uh it can be

difficult but I think it's a lot easier

than it was in years

past um yeah yeah let me correct I did

not I did not mean to say it was super

easy I me to say it's easier than it

once was oh yeah absolutely and yeah um

also wanted to say uh I I I forgot to

mention this and I got a DM someone

bugging me about it Ro hockey absolutely

uh but I think Ro hockey is another one

where I think you AB you absolutely you

have some good games there I think it

has so much more potential than what

people are giving it and I think someone

needs to go out there make a great Ro

hockey game Jason make a ro hockey game

it's it's funny that it's funny that you

say that um I was at the uh Bruins

Sharks game the other day we suck the

Sharks suck let's go we suck we're

terrible yeah go brein Bruins are better

let's go shark fan we are terrible this

year but what was cool is like during

the intermission between the periods um

there was they would actually advertise

in the big Jumbotron like a Roblox

hockey game like someone actually made

it and partnered with NHL and it was

actually advertised and I was like dang

I need to get on that well yeah the

problem with this with the with the

hockey game that they made it's not like

actual hockey it's more like arcadey I

think something like an actual

definitive Roblox hockey game could be

huge and I think I think you should look

into that Jason or something like a some

of those sports like maybe a soccer game

or something because like here's the

thing and this is what I always say to

new people I always have people dming me

they're like I want to make a football

league or a basketball league I'm like

don't do it there's so many row football

leagues there's so many row basketball

leagues there's an oversaturation in the

market you need to hit something if

you're coming in and you're starting

something new you need to innovate and

you're not going to in in row football

you're not going to innovate in row

basketball you're going to innovate in

row soccer row hockey you know those

games that maybe don't have a definitive

game a definitive League you know you

need to go for one of those

things agre uh to add on it uh Jason

said previously I forgot to I actually

forgot about this um my friend zabs made

a a Roblox handball game and um he made

it uh it got played by a couple people

wasn't too popular um and then it kind

of died but I remember after one of my

OCA games which is the theater League to

offl me and my friends like hey let's

hop on handball and we hopped on we

played a bit and we were like wait this

is actually really fun so I actually hit

him up I was like yo you should make a

league for this and I actually kind of

like revived Roblox handball by myself

because I I was because I I was just

having fun with it with my friends just

messing around I made a video on it and

a lot of the comments were like yo we'd

love to see you play this more so I

actually ended up uh fueling like 10

seasons of a like handball league and I

don't know I it felt pretty cool like

knowing the type of influence I have uh

to be able to Kickstart a community by

myself someone's got an ego no I'm all

right it's funny that you mentioned

handball uh because I remember I want to

say like a month before Ultimate

Football released I someone came up and

was like hey you should add like a

handball mini game in t football and I

was like yeah let's do that and I

pitched it to everybody in my Dev chat

and everyone was like no no don't do

that don't do that don't don't ruin

handball and I was like okay okay but um

we could absolutely put handball in

Ultimate Football if we wanted

to I think that would be awesome because

the handball Community is lowkey dying

again because they can't find a stable

league and nobody really wants to play I

I here's the thing the handball game I I

I think isn't actually handball enough

it's more just

football throwing into a goal I think

you would actually need to no that's

exactly what it is I think if you're

gonna do a handball game this is another

one I think you should actually do a

handball game and again that's another

one where I think you could easily do

that

and remote that if you were to do like

an actual handball game I know bombs

made a handball game at one point

started development before he did htbb

but he then decided to do hbb instead so

I think handball absolutely has

potential oh for sure cuz in this Hall

game I mean like I I don't really watch

H I don't know much about it but from

what I've seen on the internet like you

can't spin the ball you can't put spin

on the ball um I don't I don't really

know what else there is but that's like

the main thing I've seen like a lot like

when I've seen the clips on like

Instagram reels or something like that

um dribbling you have to dribble and

there's no yeah there's like dribbling

like you can put a lot of spin on the

ball like that hand ball doesn't have

that right now like the game I was

talking about it's literally just

football except you try and throw the

ball into a net uh

but I also think something like

um maybe Ultimate Frisbee could be

really really cool oh dude I've played

ultimate fris me it's so awesome it's

still fun in real life yeah I used to

play playing the summer water polo water

polo I I mean I think there's so many

sports that don't have great leagues or

games and I think the issue is sometimes

people will try to do them but they

don't I I would love to see a cricket

league I feel like that'd be awesome I

have no idea how the rules work but I've

seen clips of it like people get hyped

for that bro I I've like I've seen the

clips of the stadiums bro like it's

comparable to like a Philly's playoff

game atmosphere like that like it it

gets

hype

yeah cool okay I am going to jump in

just so we have enough time for the

other questions and the

Q&A um so moving on to the next question

it was what do you think of some of the

misconceptions about Road

Applause

sports I think we have no life we have

no life I think honestly I think the ter

I I don't the one the one thing that I

don't like is that it's childish what's

any different than you sitting down at

your desk and playing Madden or Call of

Duty what is any different than

fact the comment I get the most often

the most common the mo most common

comment I get on my videos why don't you

just play Madden

BR can't afford Madden or something like

that

yeah that so that we have no lives or

that we that we can't afford other games

and why don't you play other games I

think that that'se well hold on so I

think the affordability is actually a

great point and uh that actually made me

think of a point that Jason brought up

earlier about younger individuals who

maybe don't have uh the money um to to

to buy you know high-end consoles

high-end video games and Roblox I think

serves as a great option and a financial

alternative

to for entertainment right so I so I I I

feel like that the leagues the exposure

to these high-end leagues are getting

it's it's a great alternative I I think

to to these high-end console game so I

think it's a pretty valid point and a

very common misconception that okay you

can't afford it but people shouldn't be

making fun of others for that and even

if and even if you you you can afford it

there's actually I think so much value

and I think people don't realize this in

a game like hcbb ultimate footballl you

are one individual on a team greater

team Madden you're one person

controlling a whole

team that's fun but I mean this is true

you're one person that's my favorite

aspect of Rose sport that's my favorite

aspect I have a Madden League it's like

yeah you're one person control the whole

team and they're like 32 people in the

league yeah there's hundreds in these

leagues it's like there's 30 32 Team

league but then there's also 32 people

per team in Roblox

football yeah exactly and I think that's

that I think that's a huge point of

emphasis you get to be your own

individual player no other game does

that no other game lets you be you

yourself and you can communicate with

your teammates in the game you can send

them a little message like hey let's run

a different kind of coverage oh my God

can you Blitz please you can't do that

in Madden you just control the entire

team yourself so when you get to be your

own individual player and have that

communication that's so fun and you

can't find that anywhere else not that

I've seen and I don't think Madden has

the same sense of community because of

that I I think people underestimate the

community aspect of these

games I want to say from a player

perspective a big uh misconception I see

are people that just doubt their

abilities and and they say oh I'm not

good enough to play in leagues and I'm

just not going to get on a team and

things like that and I it just could not

be further from the truth there are so

many leagues and so many teams that uh

really despite your skill level uh

you're going to find a place on there

and hopefully you'll have teammates that

will show you ways to get better there

are communities out there that do that

and and people just think that they're

not going to be welcome in that kind of

thing and it's just it's just not true

and

um I lost the second part of what I was

going to say to that but that that's the

biggest one I I

see agreed agreed I think acfl which is

like it's like a developmental League I

I personally I go into the servers what

I do with my teams is I go into the

servers and I don't look for already

experienced players I look for the

people and I type in the chat I'm like

who wants to play who wants to play in a

league right and I'll literally like try

to bring them in even if they're really

not that good I will try my best to

teach them how to be a little bit better

just because I find that really

fun I can say I've definitely done that

before but uh I don't necessarily do it

in like the public servers um actually

that's not true I do it everywhere like

if I'm playing in a side League or I'm

playing in a public server if I see

someone that's actually playing pretty

good I'll like shoot him a friend

request like see if I can set him up in

some sort of League to see how like

gauge how good they are and if I feel

like they have potential I'll be like yo

I'll teach you how to play like I did it

most recently to some uh guy I met in a

side League like his team was terrible

but he was uh he was like the bright

spot of the team so I was like yo uh

come come over here like he played

really well and now he's like uh a

starter in like the highest level of lfg

football so it's like it's crazy how

people like that can go unnoticed but

it's also crazy how you can just like

teach them the ropes tell them what to

do and then they can become that kind of

player where they're at the top of the

uh leaderboard well that's that that's

one thing I'm frustrated with with offl

and I I'm I'm gonna I'm going to go a

little get a little interesting here ofl

I think that is where ofl struggles is

that they only have so many teams and

that they don't have a public game to

promote the game and because of that

people join the League they have nowhere

to go and then they they they quit

because they're frustrated because they

have nowhere to play and they people

just want to promote who they already

know and they don't want to get new

people involved and it feels frustrating

in that regard because they'll go to

join and then they'll be like okay then

they join they sit on the bench for two

games they quit and they they have know

where to play and I think games like

that you know these people have

potential and I always say those people

you're pushing the bench that could be

the next Kelvin that could be the next

the next REI you know those could be the

next great players but you're just

pushing them aside because you don't

know who they are and they weren't here

since day

one that's that's part of the reason why

other games are a little bit more

successful in offl because in these

games you can have those side leagues

where people can actually play to get

better play get noticed and get

discovered and all that but inl there's

really only OCA but even then it's still

not super great for recruiting players

and all that so that's why when it comes

to like uh UF or uh FF like it's a lot

easier to get noticed than it is an a an

like offl or OCA well I've told offl

they've actually removed teams and I

told them that's the opposite of what

you should be doing if you have a lack

of players because it's not the lack of

players players wanting to play is the

lack of players being able to play if

that makes sense oh for

sure with uh ofl with having so many

members that means a lot more people

have the chance of going unnoticed so by

if you add more teams it means obviously

more people get the opportunity to show

what they can do because yeah I mean

that point of it just removes

opportunities is very valid Jimmy

27458 could be the next young rally and

you don't even know it because you never

give them a

chance Tyler any other questions you got

yep I've got a few more but what I might

do is there's a few questions in the

chat so I'm going to go through some of

them and then back to some of my

ones um so one of the questions is why

when you fail in Ultimate Football do

you lose

XP

uh I saw that I saw that question a

couple times and I was hopeing I to

answer it um the only reason why I have

it is so that there's kind of like a

um negative takeaway if you perform bad

so if you throw a pick or you fumble the

ball um then it it it damages your your

XP and your overall because there you

know I think one of the problems that we

have with fbu is that when you gain EXT

and you gained good stats your your um

overall was just linear and going just

straight up there was no way you could

ever go down and so one of the moves we

made with timate football is that while

it's it's a small decline sometimes um

it can also be a great incline when

you're going from 20 overall you up to

that 99 or 100 so um but I have gotten a

lot of negative feedback about the

negative XP so we'll see about that it

also encourages you to play better you

know you don't want to see that red

negative 15 XP you don't want to see

that red you know negative five XP and

so it it's kind of like an incentive for

you to go okay I need to you know sit

down and actually commit and actually

play a little bit

better okay

interesting um one of the other

questions I'll just had a look at the

chat and then I'll probably go back to

my ones um I know we already asked and

got Al but do you have any advice for

people who want to make a Roose sports

game this us was thinking about making a

baseball Ultimate Football Style

game

um the the way I walked into Ultimate

Football was that I was going to treat

it like a full-time job you know um if

especially if you're going to make a

game on like Ultimate Football on the

ultimate football scale um like I don't

this this might seem a little braggy but

I I don't think there's another sports

game that's like on the scale of

ultimate football but that's not

be that yeah well that's because we put

three years into it um and we invested a

couple th I want to say like something

around like 20 or $30,000 into just

commissions and paying people that's

more than my net worth yeah it's I mean

we we got all that money from football

universe and we that it that's what it

takes you know it's it's not easy it's

it's going to be difficult you're going

to struggle you're going to hate it but

at the end of the day um I think you're

going to love it you know um the final

months coming up to timate football's

release were probably the most

depressing and stressful time in my life

um because of just that crunch of like

okay we've been doing it for three years

can we at least can we get it out in

time can we do it can we get it out at

all um

and what what made it so rewarding I

think at the end was the level of

positive feedback that I got from it

especially after two prior football

games to that um that I felt like

redeemed it and made it that much more

worth it in the

end absolutely and as I stated uh

earlier and I'm just going to reiterate

this if you're making a game do not make

a football game and do not make a

I just I I just think the market is so

oversaturated with them you need to be

so in depth with your game it it I just

don't see how you can compete with these

other games I'm sorry I just don't see

it maybe if you do something absolutely

mind-blowing but at that point you're

going to be putting so much into it to

me if you're going to do that start with

a game like a soccer game or a hockey

game that don't have a definitive game

and then work your way up to making a

football game I would I would say the

reason why you shouldn't make a football

game is not because there's already

games in football I would say it's

because the sport is so complicated um I

you have to consider you have to

consider field goals two points kickoffs

on sides um safety punts you know

there's there's so many different

aspects of the game that I found just

like as I was making the game play the

core gameplay just so frustrating and

annoying being like okay I think we're

done oh no we forgot safety puns okay

you don't do that okay oh the ball rolls

of end that that thing the game play is

incredi complicated whereas I think

basketball is really at least fairly

easy you shoot the ball in the

hoop yeah and it's if it's from this

distance two points if it's from this

distance it's three points and then when

they score the other team gets the ball

and that that's it it that's I got to do

but goes out of bounds football it's so

much more um the other thing I guess the

other piece of big advice that I would

say is that um it used to be a couple

years ago that you could make your own

sports game pretty much on your own and

um I think Roblox has now come to the

point where it's you really do need a

big team um a lot of the PO a lot of the

top 50 games uh have fullon on teams

that are um ranging from anywhere from

five to 10 people and so um the way I

got started was just by getting a couple

couple buddies together we we weren't

good at building we weren't good at

scripting we weren't good at anything

but we still made a game and it still

gained just enough traction that we

could use what we gained from that to

keep on going so my my advice is get

your friends together you know um and

it's going to be really frustrating and

um you're going to hate every second of

it but when it does release and even

does good or bad it's going to be more

rewarding than you would have thought

you know before you even thought about

making

one I will say as somebody who's never

made a game before so sorry if this is

bad advice but the the game play has to

come first I mean you you want to add

all of these bells and whistles and make

it look pretty but if the game's not fun

it's just not going to matter and then

after that after you've nailed that then

I think the biggest Trend that's just

not talked about very much is is what

they're playing for and I think uh

Ultimate Football really does a good job

with this is is the leveling experience

as well as Cosmetics it's cosmetics in

those free-to-play games that really

drive a lot of interest and value and

just collecting things um so game playay

first but then above that just you know

what am I playing for and what am I

trying to earn out

here exactly one of the things I kind of

pride myself on with Ultimate Football

is it's not really Ultimate Football

it's more like ultimate customization

but gameplay comes first I think that's

something that we didn't do right in

football Universe was we focused more so

on customization and less so in gameplay

and then when it came down to releasing

and getting feedback everybody's

feedback was your gameplay play sucks

but the customization is cool and that's

kind of the community we got was well

your gameplay sucks but the

customization is good so yeah so easy go

ahead yeah go ahead go ahead go ahead uh

and I think that's where we got also

football right is like we finally got we

finally got the right balance between

okay gameplay is good and customization

is even better think we finally the nail

on the head with that one no and I think

I think a a big point of emphasis is

that you can't like you can't neglect

the process within this you can be so

fixated on that end goal you can be so

fixated on oh I want to make a big game

and stuff like that but it's so easy to

sugarcoat some things that or like

glitter coat some things with Cosmetics

you can kind of like make up for the

poor gameplay with cosmetics by sugar

coating it but if you're going to make a

big game and you really want to make it

mainstream you got to like put some

emphasis on the process it's always

going to be a process it's going to be

long it's going to be tiring as Jason

said but at the end of the day it's it

you get you got to go through that

process

got one quick question for for Jason

himself uh Jason would you ever consider

and this is just an interesting proposal

I think single player version of

Ultimate Football where it is like

Madden I know that would be a little

different where maybe you control a

whole team you could do like an ultimate

team thing with AFL players as cards or

something I think that would be

something that could be genius that

would be sick if if I get to the point

with Ultimate Football where I'm not

having to plow through 10 15 bug tickets

every single day and not having to worry

about this new feature and that new

scoreboard UI and um you know that kind

of thing then yes absolutely uh prior to

release we actually had it set up where

you could there was Auto throw where you

would just hold down let's say like your

finger on the player that you wanted to

throw to say on mobile and if you held

down long enough then it would throw a

dart if you tapped then it would throw a

lob and it would actually it it was it

was so deadly accurate it was is like

like if we're going to do auto throw

then we actually have to commit to like

an actual Madden style gameplay where

the AI That's playing as defense can

actually keep up um

so short answer yes I would love to Long

answer hopefully soon you know I don't I

don't know yet I I find myself waking up

every day with five new bugs and um two

email two three emails I need to reply

to and so and so wants a concept made

and something something's always up

coming up my

sleeve yeah I I I feel like that would

be a whole different game at that point

I I wouldn't even imagine how hard the

AI would would be to code right

absolutely that's why that's why it

would need to be almost a completely

different game mode in there or a

completely different game but you know

that be awesome see if I I love I love

the idea I love the

idea yeah I think think AI would

definitely be the hardest part but I

mean the way I kind of look at it is

like I could literally just recycle the

logic that um ala football has you know

we already have I already have the

gameplay engine we already have all the

stadiums we already have all the assets

we just got to figure out how to work

the AI and then we're good yeah there's

a game called grid iron that has a AI

offensive line and defensive line uh I I

it looks it looks pretty it looks pretty

poor for what it is and it it looks like

like the players are like fall all over

the place like like they're going like

sideways and flinging around the map

every like play and stuff like that but

if you could if you could polish that

for for what it is like IR is a pretty

fun game overall too though I will say I

I do think it's Eno it's fun it's fun

but it's like it's it's got a ceiling

absolutely

yeah awesome okay um there's a few more

questions in the chat so there may not

be any time to go with my ones but

that's fine

try get messages in the

chat real quick I'm gonna say we got a

quick question about where Kiri is

unfortunately Kiri did have a prior

commitment and could not

make

yeah someone in the chat also asked uh

bro I've been feeding you ever late and

why do I keep crashing when I'm on 20

streaks we personally actually make you

crash like whenever we see you're on a

20 streak we actually crash

you great great that's exactly what

do okay oh sound good so one of the

questions is not all the positions in

Ultimate Football F equal and fun and do

you think this together be changed in

the

future um did you say that one more time

uh yeah sure the question was not all

positions in Ultimate Football feel

equally fun so do you think that could

be changed in the

future um I I think football as a sport

in

general makes it really difficult to put

the spotlight on every single player all

the time um there's ala football while

it is American football I wouldn't say

it is like corly what you would think of

when you watch an NFL game where there's

offensive linemen there's centers

there's defensive linemen linebackers

safeties all that sort of thing I think

def really comes down to really just

like four core position

and that's um there's quarterback

there's a wide receiver you can be um a

corner when when you're covering on

defense or you can be a rusher or I

guess you want to call it a defensive

end um and I I think that for the game

the style of game play that we have

right now that's about as good as it's

going to get um kind of going back to

like would you make a Madden game I

think if we were going to do um and

include positions like running back and

um actual offensive linemen and you

tight end and all that stuff I think

that would be the perfect place to put

it in is like an actual you know buy the

NFL rulebook kind of game that's where

you can probably get all the positions

in whereas I think this kind of goofy

thought this goofy arcadey style of

football doesn't really permit multiple

position types um and kind of or limits

it to that that three or four that that

I was talking

about

okay aome and the last question I can

see is how did you promote your games

after investing an entire team to

develop

them um I remember when I when I first

made R NFL one um Roblox NFL one um I

remember actually going to the head

coach of ofl and I was like or not the

head coach the commissioner and I I

think it was I think it was was

brilliant it might have been brilliant

or it might have been someone else but

this is like 2015 so all you probably

know who I'm talking about be Mard

Nintendo one of those guys I can't

remember maybe it was a smaller league

but I remember going to like a

commissioner of a big league and I was

like hey is there any way that you can

just post my game I'll make you a beta

tester you know if you want compensation

I'll do that and the guy was like no I

don't care I'll just do it anyway and so

that that's how we got it was just it's

just doing those like cold style pitches

where you're just walking in blind into

a

room metaphorically obviously this is

Roblox but just kind of just going into

someone's games being like hey can you

plug this real fast and and just talking

to them um and then when it came to Ala

football um I mean we had such a good

enough community that like I knew we

were GNA at least do like numbers that

were the same as or can be you know

greatly better than football universe

but what was nice was getting content

creators on the game you know um shout

out to Juicy John my bro I love that guy

um

he can be wild with his ideas for videos

but um just being friends with many

content creators as possible and kind of

forming that like tightnit Community

with your with the media um creation

scene can greatly improve the reach that

your your games have um especially I I

know that um on YouTube especially if

you can get like a million sub YouTube

um YouTuber to play your game and to

make a video on it will explode your

game and if you did the gameplay very

very well you'll keep that that um that

steam was somebody

here no okay um so that that that's

that's that's my my

answer okay awesome and

then okay so what are some of the

memorable moments you've had or all of

you are there any good moments you've

had which you would like to

share so my favorite moment ever was uh

when okay so acfl was a developmental

league as I had mentioned before so it

brings in the new players so that we can

develop them and so what I did is I got

the most like no offense to this team

because they they all develop now but

they were at the time the most clueless

team of all time and I found it so fun

teaching these new kids how to play

because we were just having so much fun

learning the game we were having so much

fun with this new experience and I was

having fun that I could give those

people that same experience as well so

shout out Clemson shout out the Clemson

team from uh I I love that team uh it

was back in the old like fbu days but

but from what it was that was the most

fun team I've ever had cuz me and all my

friends got together and we're like you

know what we're going to take this group

of 20 kids and we're just going to teach

them and we made them player cards and

everything like that we got them exposed

in the media we got them like play time

and everything like that we were having

so much fun with that team absolutely

and there are three moments that stick

out for me uh one as a player one as a

coach and one as a content

creator uh I think for

me uh they're all offl related um I

think you know winning my first Victory

bowl back in season five I literally was

on the floor like crying as a

13-year-old kid being like Oh my God we

won we were undefeated oh my God we did

it cuz it scored on the last place the

game a touchdown to win oh that was that

was the rush of emotions there was like

a roller coaster that whole game and

finally winning was like oh my gosh we

did it uh second one um would probably

be

um probably when I was a coach uh in

season 12 you know no one believed in us

no one believed in Us in season 12 for

the Warriors we went seven and one

started off the season 7 and0 granted we

lost the playoffs a very heartbreaking

playoff loss loss in overtime but the

fact that you know we were able to do as

much as we did and I won the head coach

the Year award very very uh humbling and

very great I was so grateful for the

guys on that team um a lot of those guys

were inexperienced players some of them

are now great players uh who you know I

think can take some credit maybe for

coaching them and helping them become

better and then I think the third moment

would be Victory Bowl 31 was just such

an anomaly pasta helped out with that D

mq helped out with that so I want to

give a huge shout out to them obviously

that was a really fun event we

we had over an hourong video pregame

show uh in like intro that was took us

about two weeks working nonstop to

complete it was absolutely unbelievable

how long it took to work on that and but

it was it was so worth in the end and

even the game was a blowout that I still

think is my Magnum open as a uh content

creator that was the one I did the PA

for

right no we were going to have you do PA

and then unfortunately fell apart but

you did the PA later which was which was

good because it kind of gave us

something new to do in the future right

right right

right I gotta say the the moment that

sticks out to me the most out of just

being a content creator or I guess this

could be like more General but I can

give it more of a specific example but I

got to say my favorite part about making

content and just doing stuff for the

sports Community um is is watching the

Super Bowls you know or the championship

games of all the leagues um and I got

the one that sticks out to me the most

um I actually there's I posted a picture

uh on afl's last championship game of me

with a bowl of popcorn in front of a

flat screen watching I think Kiri C

stream it um and I got to say that is

the that is the most fun part of just

doing all this that's what makes it all

worth it is actually like watching the

community come together make a league um

you know form a schedule play it out

duke it out and then it all comes to the

Pinnacle of this one championship game

and you know you get three 400 people

watching it and it's just it's just so

much fun I gotta say the one that sticks

out to me the most I remember I was

screaming just like hyped about this was

probably um I want to say it was Reese's

first Super Bowl when

best game ever that was the best game

ever last play of the game right that

was the best one that was the best one

cuz I remember he I was like oh dude

it's over he's gonna lose and then I

think he I think the last play was like

he he walked in for a two-point

conversion and he took the lead by like

a point or something like that and I I

can't remember if I was on the couch

watching it yeah I can't remember if I

was on the couch watching it or if I was

like in a VC with watching it but all I

remember is just like shouting and

screaming and my housemate at the time

came over and was like what's going on

and I'm like he won he he won that was

it

was it was amazing that's that's going

to be the most memorable part of of just

doing all this absolutely Reese Reese me

or not Rees I'm sorry I'm so used to say

Reese I'm talking about AFL uh but Jason

me and you and Reese we need to all work

really hard on this next one becausee

we're gonna we're gonna go we're gonna

make something that people have never

seen before for this next championship I

think let me know what you need we'll do

I I think one of the worst parts of the

game is when you're in the allegiance

bow or you're in the finals and then

your Wi-Fi just decides to go to I don't

know if you guys can relate to that I

don't know if I don't know if you guys

can relate to that but there I don't

know if you guys can relate to that but

there was this one time this one

Music

time

anyways yeah I I remember uh uh in the

earlier versions of lfg some dude made

it to the Super Bowl and somebody uh

booted him offline right as the game was

starting so he got

a yeah somebody booted him off like the

quarterback too not like some random guy

like they booted their starting

quarterback offline before the game

started so it had to be

postponed

yeah uh positive memory for me was uh

kind of in the early days of content I

was just kind of experimenting I I had

heard a lot about the algorithm

algorithms on social media and I was

just testing it really I mean that me

being here was just

never never planned really it was just

like oh let me just post some videos and

see what happens and it was the

tutorials it was my kicking tutorial and

then the rushing tutorial that just blew

up and all of these people came in and

were just you know hey this really

helped me and things like that and uh

just kind of got that engagement and

just was just mind-blowing for me you

know was one of those initial moments

just said hey you know this is actually

something that I can do and so I've

continued and that was you know a year

and a half ago and I'm still here so uh

JJ and I wanted to say I posted a Tik

Tok randomly was the first thing I I did

I just posted a random Tik Tok one day

took a nap woke about two hours later

come back at a 300,000 views I'm like

okay I got some on Tik Tok now I made it

a complete joke like I thought nothing's

gonna happen with this and I come back

and it has 300,000 views I'm like okay I

guess I'm a Tik Tok Creator now it's

crazy how quick you can

go okay and I'm just looking through the

chat again there's a question just

getting Jason um and the question is is

there a chance that college teams will

ever be

aged um if we're talking NCAA teams if

we can get the license man absolutely um

if there's anybody from the NCAA that's

in the chat and wants to get something

going contact me man I'm right here um

but in terms of just like um say like

fictional kind of user generated uh

teams not right now um we have what we

have the the minor league teams that we

dropped for the season 3 update and I

think we're just going to stick with

those but um I have had people come up

to me and ask when is the next series of

teams coming and um I'm I'm I still have

burnout from Dam you

yeah yeah I have you and I have um

someone else I can't remember uh who

wants teams but I only want my one team

added I want my one offl team added

man but yeah uh if we can it'll happen

for

sure okay that's cool so what are I've

said that one

sorry uh

okay so how do you see your group

contributing overall to the gr Sports

Community because as you mentioned you

are a massive group so how does it

contribute towards everything I

guess do that for me yeah it can be or

it can be for anyone

here

um can you repeat the question one more

time group yeah sure uh so how do you

see the group contributing to the

overall of Rose sport so your group does

it contribute towards everything as a

whole

or yeah yeah I mean I would say it's

more so even like just like just even

simple things as like Discord

communities I think one of the really

nice things about having kind of this

Rose Sports and even just Roblox in

general um is that it really is a

tight-knit community and family you know

I think that there we bicker and we

annoy each other and we get in each

other's nerves a lot more times than we

could probably count but at the end of

the day we're all just one big family

and um we all look out for each other

and I think that's probably one of the

nicest things about just Roblox in

general when you compare it to even

things like Madden whereas I feel like

Madden is a little more disconnected

than it is for Roblox um when it when it

comes to like the groups impacting the

success of the game I think it

definitely helps because you can have

that kind of access to your community um

I don't I don't think you can have that

same level of access when you have a

game say on like you know steam or if

you have it on any other platform having

everybody

on in in one centralized place whether

that' be Discord or Roblox is the most

rewarding thing and the most helpful

thing that you can you can possibly

experience as a as a content creator and

that goes even Beyond and when I say

content creator I mean like even as a

YouTuber or even as um someone who just

streams games you know it's having that

level of um low-level impact and

communication can be um instrumental in

the most in gaining success in anything

that you want to

do okay there a question that has just

come through and it says CL XR what was

some of the most enjoyable moments you

can recall from the US development

period um

let me let me think um the most

memorable piece from UF

development

um I hate to say but the first thing

that comes to mind is um me we we were

making the referee models and we started

out with all just old men because

usually it's in you know NFL football

it's always um you know old guys being

referees and we were kind of goofing off

and being like you know what if there

were you know some like you know

actually female really cute referees and

whatnot and so we're you know being dumb

and we're pulling ugc items off the

catalog and we made we made a bunch of

like you know a very diverse set of of

uh female referees and um we pitched it

to the community and everybody was just

like they're like oh d would I would

flirt up with that referee like you if I

score touchdown I'm definitely walking

up to her and

so and it was it was just a crazy just

like a stupid idea I think it was like

you know midnight we were just kind of

screwing around and um it eventually

made his way into the game and so now

you can if you score a touchdown you can

go walk up to one of the female referees

and you hit the gritty on her or

something I think my favorite part was

when Jason DM me hey there gorgeous what

I got to do to get you to come play UF

with

me that's usually my go-to response I'm

like I'm like hey how what do I got to

do it's a great game by the way Jason

it's a great game thank you only took

three years top 10 game ever made

probably number three behind like Zelda

and Halo Halo 3 Halo 3 it's up there

though it's top three ever

made hey man just to be on the list

that's an honor I'll say that well

actually Spider-Man 2 my pass at this

and work at McDonald's

simulator oh actually can I can I can I

keep answer that question um another

thing that I I thought was kind of funny

um I I hope Carter is in here but um

when we were also when we were working

on like the Hub um for the the game

because there's like a there's like a

trade Hub uh we were like towards the

end of development I was like you know

we should probably have like like NPCs

you know people that you can walk up to

interact with and you know if you have a

question that's where you get your

answer you know that's where you can get

your question answered and so I like

okay let's make a bunch of NPCs and so

um a bunch of us guys got together I

wrote up like this generator script and

it just generated a bunch of NPCs and we

got to pick him out and um going back to

the the whole like female referee there

were a

couple girl NPCs and we just kind of

started giving names to NPCs and there

was this one girl named Luna and um

Carter my beloved Carter during testing

was like that is my girlfriend don't you

dare walk up to her and ask her a

question um and so and then um I

remember I can't remember who else but

somebody walked up took a picture and

was like you know hey Carter I'm

stealing your girl right now and he

actually got on and was like no you are

not you were not getting my girlfriend

even though it's just like an NBC in the

game so it's it's stupid but it's just

so

funny fair enough okay so another one

just comes through and so it's probably

get everyone that's made or contributed

towards a game but do you have any

favorite tutorials on Roblox Studio to

help you make a game like Ultimate

Football oh I'm sorry say that my my my

headphones cut out okay um it the

question was are there any favorit you

tutorials on how to make a Roblox Studio

game so for example something that

helped you make Ultimate

Football um so I started doing Roblox

development in like 2011 2012 and I

started off of stickmaster Luke's

tutorials way back when in 2012 um and

then from there it's just been

self-taught you know I've always done

everything kind of on my own um I will

say um the the Roblox Wiki is your best

friend the dev forum is like like your

brother and then YouTube tutorials are

going to be um also the best help and if

you have what's great about the Forum is

if you have a problem with something

that's not running or working in your

game chances are somebody's already had

that same problem already posted about

it they've already solved it they posted

their

solution you know and then

um tutorials YouTube tutorials um I know

there's one there's a good set by Alvin

blocks that can help you out a lot but

um I I always say like the the toughest

thing about learning programming

especially even just Roblox in general

is that it's really just a lot of trial

and error you're GNA get frustrated

you're GNA be um tired exhausted but you

have to keep at it um because if you

even leave for a couple days you might

forget what you already learned until

you've done it so often and so much that

it's just a second nature to

you okay that's very interesting

so a question which has added on to that

part and it says what did the testing po

polishing the process of the game look

like before you released

it um so I want to say about last

August um not not this last August

August 2022 um is when we actually

brought on actual testers to play the

game and I want to tell you the first

week was miserable because they found so

many bugs that you we couldn't account

for um and there's there's still bugs

that we never even thought of happening

that we still have to fix and solve um

but the the way it worked behind the

scenes is I mentioned a bunch of people

who you know I trusted and um my friends

trusted to bring on as as testers to see

um if they could help literally bulldo

through the game and see what they could

find um and we did that from about

probably about August all the way

through um

February um and in you know we did a

play a couple we initially it started

out with a bunch of play tests but as we

started working through gting the trade

Hub working and mini games up and

running um it got to the point where we

were doing like maybe a play test every

other week something like that um

because as you as you iterate and you

polish more you don't need to test as

much but um I will say one of the things

that you should one things I would do

differently about it would be to test

even more um it's always frustrating I

think when you fix something and then

someone joins before that fix is

published and then they're go and then

they're spamming you saying hey this is

broken this is broken it's like you know

you're typing away being like dude I'm I

just fixed that you know um and it's

frustrating to be overwhelmed with bugs

but I think doing it differently I would

keep that and have them continue to

annoy you

because you there's there's so many

things you can't test for there's so

many edge cases that you'd never imagine

possible um that could be the difference

between you know someone not being able

to put on an item and a whole server

stalling out to the point where you'd

have to either vote fix or just wait

till everybody leaves so um game

development is frustration a lot of

frustration but at the end of the day

it's so rewarding and so much

fun

awesome okay there's a few more

questions in the chat and then that's

probably going to be everything we have

time for so if anyone want to ask

anything else now's your chance um

there's two current ones in the chat and

the first one which is probably aimed at

everyone and it says what do you think

was the real difference in marketing

getting new players for fbu to

us difference in

marketing

um what I think for me the difference

was I played a much bigger role in

actually communicating with content

creators and actually getting them to

like the game and figuring out what

works best with them and what doesn't

juicy John dier Dylan DIY Q they were

all on the tester team um when we opened

up at that August like I just mentioned

in the last question um and my whole

thing was like what works for you what

do you hate what do you love what can I

do better on because ultimately they're

going to be the ones that are

advertising the game and if they don't

like the game they're not going to play

the game they're not gonna make YouTube

videos they're not gonna make Tik toks

they're not gonna do anything about it

um and so figuring out

what what the content creators enjoy can

be like I said the difference between

your game being a 100 player game versus

a thousand versus even 10,000 um

and I think having them involved was the

best thing I could have ever done when

it came to when we were working on um

football Universe they were we never

involved any YouTubers or anybody into

the development process we literally

just winged it um we never really we

never really properly tested we never

had a dedicated testing team um

and there there was there was minimal

involvement from the outside community

in that game so the difference between

between those two games is immense in

terms of development and then

release um the other thing is we also

did a paid release so that not everybody

flooded

in and that helped out a

lot Okay cool so the last question I can

see in the chat is do you think there

will be any competitors anytime

soon comptitive uh there's already a

competitive game mode in the game but I

need to advertise it more and make it

more no he means like I think he means

like competitors like other big games oh

like other like competing games um not

for the next three

years I hope man I I I hope there Fusion

will always be my competitor you know I

think I think I can I can rest and die

easy knowing that my game got more

players at least once um more than

fusion um I I think there will always be

competition you know there could be a

point where I mean Al football is the

number two game right now and it's doing

great and it can be doing even better

but um you have to assume that there's

always going to be someone who's trying

to one up you um you just because you're

on the throne doesn't mean you can keep

it if that makes sense um

so yes there's going to be there's

absolutely going to be more competitors

and trying to keep Pace with them is

going to be the most difficult part of

our game um you

know I I was talking to JY John the

other day and I I told him about a

football game that just popped up and it

had like I think 200 players and I was

really stressed about it and he was like

dude you are too anxious about a small

little you know 100 200 player football

game to be you know this worried you

know you don't just relax man you're

doing

good um

so um

you know I I I take everything very very

seriously because I take I took this as

my full-time job and I've put I've bet a

lot of my cards on this game working out

and so far it has it really really has

um but anything can change at the flip

of a

dime the game has gone really well so M

congratulations to you for the amount of

work you and everyone here has put into

it so massive well down that and I wish

you the best here so the last question I

can see is Will NFL a make a

return the cleat the cleat the the sorry

yep will the cleat ever make a

Music

return um Tyler Ju Just so you know uh

in uh fbu and Jason's old game uh if you

want a championship or something like

that they would put customized cleats

into the game uh for the Champions to

wear so was like a cool trade item cool

fair enough

yeah

uh if you make them I'll add them let me

just put it that way um in in in years

past it's always been like a team will

win and then they'll be like why haven't

you made the cleats yet why haven't why

haven't you done that and I always say

I'm like dude it's not my responsibility

it's not it's not even my our

responsibility to make the item you know

we'll provide the template we'll give

you the stuff um but if you don't make

it then I can't promise that it'll be

added and I guess the only other

question I have would be would you ever

consider something Beyond cleats like

Rings even or something where it's like

a could be like a like maybe not

wearable but like a a like an actual 3D

model of like a ring or a even like a

wrestling championship belt I think

could be something cool yeah I mean

anything L it could be it could be

literally anything my only thing is like

it has to be consistent I don't want it

to be like every other season a

different kind of item I'd rather just

be like you know

consistent across multiple Seasons um

and uh this goes for any major league

you know we're not I'm not biased well

some people think I'm biased I'm not I

don't care you know I I just want to do

what makes the community and everybody

happy um there's one thing I was goingon

to mention but I can't remember but yeah

would love to but make

them okay awesome I think that's all the

questions yes anyone going to drop

anything last second if if we want to

let ki in here for a second oh he's here

yeah he said yo where's the Discord he

he's dming me

bro Darth Darth Vader

chill hold up if anyone has the last

second questions for KI we could throw

him in that's so

cool oh sorry about that everyone we

have a special guest as well so we've

got Kiri also here so say hi to everyone

hello everybody happy to be here once

again big shout out to obviously

everyone who's been able to compose this

and obviously the Tyler for letting us

have a voice here uh I want to say hello

to everyone that's been there watching

the

streams Etc

so up K absolutely I want to give H

shout out to KI who is one of my huge

inspirations to do this so give a shout

out to KI he is the goat by the way Ki

can I ask you a question what is good

yeah what was what was your reaction

2.8k that was maybe one of the biggest

like Milestones that I've seen in Ro

sports like like

history I was very excited about it um

more so not even for my my own and uh I

was more excited about it for obviously

for for Jason and Ultimate Football it

was something that I've always wanted to

kind of put out uh again football has

always been big uh we had 2.8 th000 uh

viewers on a Tik Tok stream for for one

of the ultimate football competitive

leagues which was lfg UF whoa wow that

is

crazy yeah yeah it was it was it was

amazing I I think the most I've ever

gotten is like

one like 3K or something on Tik

Tok yeah it's crazy and I'm pretty sure

that was for was that for offl was that

for uh was the the first game I did for

offl was a regular season game it just a

meaningless regular season game and yes

one it's actually so actually in in

reality it's the most watched offl game

ever if you combine the twitch viewers

with it too so kind of funny more than

any

so I'll take

it it's that's the wonders of Tik Tok

right now I think Tik Tok really loves

roblocks and there's the specific

audience starting to to head towards

there but I want to say for sure that it

it definitely meant a lot to hit that

record um again for Ultimate Football

and for the fact that it was uh my

franchise that was involved in it uh big

shout out to sunno I see him in the chat

um I want to say you know again it was

it was awesome to to kind of give that

for for my own franchise I had the

project this season for lfg UF that I

wanted to kind of uh showcase a certain

group of of players and it made it

easier that it was my own team I got to

connect with these guys along with being

able to commentate more and and give

more analytics than what I would

normally do for a regular uh kind of

game oh Ki I think I speak for a lot of

the content people here you were my

inspiration to start doing this and I

think a lot of the content people here

can actually say that as well uh so very

glad to see Ki C in the building and Ki

I wanted to ask you I guess we'll do a

speedrun of the questions that they

asked us what was your favorite moments

in row sports that's anything that

stands out my favorite moments in Real

Sports has to be for sure and somebody

was mentioning it as well in the chat um

uh definitely Roblox WWE uh when we got

to do something with Roblox wrestling

that was one of the biggest moments um

especially for production wise um

normally you get a lot of there see

there's some wonders about uh public

games but there's the very one big Pro

one of the only few Pros I would say to

like uh something to where it's just

developed for for competitive only is

the for Roblox wrestling they had this

one person named ex Sama uh he was

easily one of the best Developers for

Roblox WR I believe he's still a bit

back he was banned for uh I believe like

an asset or something that didn't

actually have anything but it didn't go

through with the filter um he was

amazing he was outstanding and he did I

believe this

Spider-Man uh introduction for one of

the wrestlers and it was so good and

it's just this one moment where I

commentated it was it was the most

amazing thing these guys had made the

Spider-Man movie like the Spider-Man

movie thing no that was uh

roenia uh they they have a really good

production too Roblox wrestling has one

of the best Productions by far I think a

lot of them need a bit more shine and

and more Spotlight these guys are

amazing especially when it comes to

again developing that isn't necessarily

like the same as there may not be as

organized I would say but

they have easily one of the best

production and talent for

production I got a guy actually um I

want to mention this because he's

awesome um uh one of the few Roblox

wrestling uh producers uh to become or

to to join in for cloud burst as an

animator Stephen spectacle dude is

amazing um you know Jason got to really

see that too this guy man he he can

animate you anything yeah

is he the one that does like the uh the

graphics like the the UF draft thing

when you're first loading into the thing

uh no he he does your

celebrations he does the the the

throwing animation everything that

that's actually gameplay wise that is

him sweet sweet and Jason just quickly

there's a question in the chat and you

it says who would be on your top five

ultimate football quarterback

best say it Jason say it Jason you're

right you're

right that's a hard say it Jason say it

um

uh um I I I'll

say it's probably gotta be Finley number

one and then huie probably number two I

haven't seen Reese play in a while

PR is definitely up there somewhere not

in the playoffs this is this is not a

playoff list this is a this is a regular

season

list um would be like

30 yeah

um no I can't remember many of other

other QBs I need to watch the games more

often I just never I literally never

have the time to just sit down and relax

so but

um Jason's top three I'm in Jason's top

three everybody you heard here first

um if I didn't say Reese Reese is

definitely up there

um

yeah W any other any other uh ala

football questions he's just L you guys

are just lucky haven't decided to play

in the league yet otherwise I'd be

number one let's be

real

um

yeah awesome I think that's all the

questions yes anyone's going to add

anything else which go for it if anyone

wants

to does anyone have any final questions

here uh we're coming up on an hour and a

half of this which I want to thank you

more questions here which means Ki what

time is it this is crunch

time there it is let's go I know someone

asked me to say it this there we go I I

had to I right that D

was one question from

the put the back up put the code back up

put that back up Jason One

reverse no no it's up it's up I see

it good oh it is okay it is

correct and he got you all right we got

the what is the moment your favorite

moment all the RO football games you

streamed uh it's either between kelvin's

game winning throw that ended up being

one of my top clips that or it would

have to be um man that's that's a tough

question I'm not going to lie to you um

is the Super Bowl I will say yeah it

might have to be

honestly

um but I'm trying to think of which

Super Bowl because there was one where

Reese oh yeah it has to be that one

where Reese and I think it was the 49ers

I want to say yeah uh ran it in for the

touchdown and then the twoo attempt to

win the whole thing that was easily one

of my favorite moments for

sure we got questions about when the

stream team's gonna form again we we we

gonna form a stream team in

AFL oh my God that we probably get we

probably get we probably get destroyed

not going to lie yeah we we definitely

would especially with someone
