Draconator Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Quote Surprisingly, the Matt Ryan-led Colts posted the league’s best record, going a remarkable 16–1 in the regular season. Indianapolis was followed by Kansas City (13–4) and Dallas (12–5). Quote The Chiefs ended up being the AFC representative in the simulated Super Bowl LVII, but found themselves playing a surprise opponent in the Saints. New Orleans then pulled the upset, downing Kansas City 34–14 to claim the franchise’s second Super Bowl title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 How does Cooper Kupp win Offensive player of the year and Prescot wins MVP? An offense only MVP is most assuredly going or at least should win offensive player of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Reading into the results, that sim was completely awful though & shows just how awful Madden is at accurate, simulation football... Here are some of the best excerpts: *"Prescott had arguably the greatest regular season of any quarterback in NFL history in the sim, finishing with 5,649 yards, 57 touchdowns and completing 72% of his passes..." *"Cooper Kupp won Offensive Player of the Year after setting the single-season record for receiving yards with 2,114 (600 yards more than the simulation’s second-highest receiver, Robert Woods)..." *"Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby broke Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt’s sack record with 24.5 to win Defensive Player of the Year..." *"Mac Jones — 4,820 yards, 29 TDs, 70% completion percentage" *"Saints defeated the Chiefs, 34-14 to win the franchise’s second Super Bowl title..." ------------------------------------ So Dak breaks both of Manning's single season passing records, Robert Woods is the league's 2nd leading receiver, Maxx Crosby blows past the sack record that was JUST matched last season, & Mac Jones throws for damn near 5,000 yards... Oh, and the Saints win the Super Bowl... with Jameis Winston?! Please NFL, stop renewing your exclusive license with EA! 🤣 Edited August 25, 2022 by BigDingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I appreciate sims with a little insight or originality. Such a drag when people do the W/L predictions: Ls for the elite opponents and Ws for everybody else. We get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play from behind so much that he's basically throwing to the qb nets they use in practice because they coverage is so soft.
