What happens when you give NBA 2K the worst draft class possible year... after year... after year? This show is a journey into a realm where sports are distorted beyond reason, impossible ideas are tested, and artificial intelligences are forced to reckon with a world that no longer makes any sense. Welcome to the FUMBLE DIMENSION

Fumble Dimension is a new video series from Kofie Yeboah and Jon Bois. Our mission is to use the universes within video games to conduct experiments that, in the real world, would be impossible. And, ideally, break as much stuff as possible along the way. This episode is titled “THE QUEST FOR THE ULTIMATE NFL PLAY,” it’s a two-parter, and it’s a barn-burner. In Part 1, we used NFL Head Coach 09 to attempt to design the perfect offensive play entirely from scratch. Jon, Kofie, Banner Society football expert Richard Johnson, and Madden champion Young Kiv each designed plays of their own.

In 2008, the Detroit Lions finished with a humiliating 0-16 record. That same year, EA Sports released the video game “Head Coach 09.” We’re going to use it to fix these Lions, and we’re going to try to do it by calling just one offensive play for an entire season. Welcome to the Fumble Dimension.
