mjd1001 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Sorry if this was posted already, but I didn't see it https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/madden-nfl-18-review-simulation-dak-wins-mvp-without-zeke-patriots-dont-win-afc-east/ CBS sports sims the entire year using madden, Bills finished ahead of the Pats and won the division. Some highlights: In much less surprising news than during last year's sim, the Atlanta Falcons went 13-3 to secure the best record in the league. The second best record belonged to ....... (wait for it) .... the Buffalo Bills! The Bills, Titans, Ravens, Patriots, Chargers and Raiders made the AFC playoffs -- in that order. On the NFC side of things, the Falcons secured the No. 1 seed, while the Seahawks were No. 2. The Eagles, Saints, Packers and Cowboys followed in order. Confused about, you know, the Bills beating the Patriots, I did some statistical investigation. LeSean McCoy was No. 7 in the MVP voting (although Blake Bortleswas No. 8, so red flags are flying everywhere). The Bills-Patriots thing is just impossible to understand. If I told you the Bills won 11 games and the Patriots didn't win the division, you would assume both Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo were kidnapped by a crazed Rex Ryan and held hostage for months somewhere in Bristol. Nope. Brady threw for 5,355 passing yards and 34 touchdowns while completing 75 percent of his passes. Even wilder? Tyrod Taylorhad 2,069 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions. Nate Peterman had 2,051 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Edited August 17, 2017 by mjd1001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The real question we want an answer to is this before or after the Sammy and Darby trades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teef Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 i saw in another article where madden had dimarco rated as one of the top 3 fbs in the game. !@#$ing superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87168 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I believe in the Madden curse. Brady...it's coming for you!! on the plus side, this prediction also makes optimistic. yup, this is what being a bills fan has reduced me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 I believe in the Madden curse. Brady...it's coming for you!! on the plus side, this prediction also makes optimistic. yup, this is what being a bills fan has reduced me to. At some point Brady is going to slow down (unless of course the Pats are still finding a way to cheat and have the offense know what the D is going to do). I'm not sure if it is this year, or next year, but that offense isn't going to be dominant with him at the helm for 5 more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Well I'm convinced. In fact, I'm goin to Vegas! EDIT: to play in one of those idiotic "e sports" tournaments that is. I'm choosing all Bills. Edited August 17, 2017 by The Frankish Reich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm choosing all Bills. Slightly off Topic, but I have tried to watch some of the 'e sports' tournaments or matches on TV. Whether it was madden or a tournament with something like starcraft. When I used to play video games a lot in the past, I LIKED watching othe people (family or friends who were over) play, so I thought it might be interesting to watch the 'pros' do it. BUT, there is something about the presentation of it on TV that is awful. Its hard to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I bet the sim included Sammy playing for Bills, which makes it irrelevant to meaning anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This means NOTHING! It was a bad trade, and you know it.did they sim the off-season and see what we got with our 2nd pick also? Thy has a huge bearing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dma0034 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The most unlikely thing about that is the Bills QBs throw for over 4k yards and 30 TDs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I've been playing Madden like crazy this last month, nice to have my fake Bills make the playoffs every year. I've been playing Madden18 since last night. Got it a week early. I liked our videogame team better pretrades but its still fun with JMatt, Zay & Boldin. Shady & Dimarco are both 3rd best at their positions. Tyrod is unstoppable in the open field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read the blueprint of how you easypeasy stop Tom every single time on BBMB and 2BD at least 100 times over the years. They have it all figured out.

Dante Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Well I'm convinced. In fact, I'm goin to Vegas! EDIT: to play in one of those idiotic "e sports" tournaments that is. I'm choosing all Bills. If going to Vegas I feel taking Cleveland to win their division is great odds. Put $50 on the Browns at 80-1!!! It's not like any team in that division is dominant. http://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/19443674/nfl-odds-win-every-division-2017 Edited August 17, 2017 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
