The latest installment of the popular EA Sports College Football video game has captivated Fighting Illini quarterback Luke Altmyer. He admits to spending countless hours playing the game and is fully invested in boosting his player rating week by week.
Altmyer expressed his excitement at seeing himself in the game, describing it as an incredible experience. Currently, his overall rating stands at 81, making him the sixth highest-rated player on the Fighting Illini team. However, he believes that his rating is too low and is confident that he will work his way up.
One aspect of the game that particularly concerns Altmyer is the speed ratings. He expressed his disappointment in being ranked 77th in speed, emphasizing that there are two quarterbacks in his team who are faster than him in the game, which he believes is not accurate. Cal Swanson and Trey Petty, the backup quarterbacks, have higher speed ratings, with Swanson being ranked 10th on The Gamer’s list of fastest quarterbacks with a rating of 90, and Petty holding a rating of 85.
Determined not to be underestimated, Altmyer is eager to prove the game wrong and solidify his status as the fastest quarterback on the team, both in real life and in the virtual world. He sees it as a challenge and is willing to put in the effort to rise in the rankings.
As the battle for the title of the fastest quarterback ensues, Altmyer is prepared to give it his all, whether on the field or in the digital realm. With his determination and drive, it will be intriguing to see how his virtual performance compares to his real-life skills.
