Didn't see this posted, thought it was interesting.  Here's the predictions gotten right or very close to it.

 

 

» The Seahawks were going to own the third quarter and lead the Patriots 24-14.

» The Patriots would win the game 28-24. (Spoiler alert if you have the game on the DVR, but the Patriots would win that game by that exact score.EXACT!)

» Tom Brady would be the Super Bowl MVP. What might be more impressive is Madden had him finishing with 335 yards and four touchdowns. He actually finished with 328 passing yards and four touchdowns. Just seven yards off. SEVEN! More impressive than the score.

» Julian Edelman would catch the winning touchdown pass. And not only that, but the exact (EXACT) pass play to make it happen. Edelman had eight receptions for 106 yards. He finished with nine catches for 109 yards. (Mind officially blown.)

 

Pasted the most relevant part.

cool

Goodell is clearly a figurehead being controlled by the EA 'shadow commissioner' and exists solely to fuel the NFL/Madden complex. It's the only logical answer.

Life is nothing more than a computer simulation afterall...so of course EA would predict the future!

how many 'predictions' did it get wrong? I'll bet it's more than 4.

Throughout the entire season it was probably above 60% in picking games

My friend predicted 28-24, Brady scores late for the lead, and Wilson throws INT on final drive.  He did not get into yards and stuff but all three of his predictions were accurate.  I am sure he is not the only one.

I think we are all sims; also an EA product.

I wonder what the odds were of Madden making all those correct predictions?

[The Huddler]

So did they sim like 100 games and have 100 different outcomes?

If so this isnt suprising or impressive.

[Jangler]

I predicted I wouldn't care who would win the game. I was right.

Sorry, I'm a 2k5 sim, i existed before the exclusivity.

when I fill out 150 brackets for the tourney, I'm going to brag about predicting a win by a 15, 14 and 13 seed on one of my brackets.
