The FCS Midwest Coyotes are the worst team in the world.
The return of College Football to video gaming has created a villain origin story we never expected. With seemingly everyone playing since release it’s quickly emerged that the FCS Midwest Coyotes is everyone’s white whale, a challenge of unreasonable proportions, and it’s created a hatred that runs deep.
When you start a dynasty there’s a better-than-even chance your first game will be against an FCS opponent, and since FCS schools aren’t in the game they’re loosely mapped onto one of four made up teams. Three of them are cupcakes, hell I beat FCS Southeast 65-10 in the first game of one dynasty — but God help you if your first time out is against the FCS Midwest Coyotes, because you’ll swear the game is broken.
The game tells you the Coyotes are a cupcake, 69 overall opponent — but this is a damn lie. Everything this team does is designed to make you hate life. Offensively they have a dual-threat quarterback with the arm strength of Lamar Jackson, the speed of Michael Vick, and pass accuracy of Patrick Mahomes. D.J. Dillworth might be listed as a 76 overall, but he is the game’s final boss and you face him immediately.
We hate you, D.J. Dillworth
Let’s say you find a way to shut down their passing offense. Excellent. Now you have to deal with a star running back in Jasper Bracey, who boasts 87 speed, 90 agility, and 92 acceleration. The Coyotes have no problem running him on toss players, and if you don’t stuff him in the backfield he’s taking it for 20+ yards every time.
This is all bad, but FCS Midwest find a way to be even more annoying
If Dillworth and Bracey aren’t enough to drive you nuts on their own (and they are) the Coyotes run a turbo no-huddle offense on every single down. You get no time to breathe as you endlessly audible, just hoping you have personnel on the field that can get a stop — and you probably won’t. FCS Midwest will score on every single drive, and if you can’t match them the game is over by halftime. Basically all you can do is pray key players get injured so you can hang in the game, and the cultured of us are trying to build programs from low-prestige schools, not taking on FCS Midwest with a Top 25 team.
The internet is united in its hatred of this team.

FCS Midwest exist to break you. Their entire reason to exist is to make you quit before you start playing. You can be a player who went 17-0 and won the Super Bowl on All-Madden by 40 points, but FCS Midwest will destroy your life.
FCS Midwest is the worst team in the world.
