Predicting Rookie Careers with Madden '09: IGN

IGN has posted a article called Predicting Rookie Careers with Madden '09.

Quote:
"Since we don't have millions of dollars and years of hindsight, we're going to do the next best thing -- use Madden '09's franchise mode to simulate the career of three rookies, attempting to break down their careers by simulating as many seasons as necessary to get them from hotshot rookies to grizzled, broken down veterans."
Platform: Xbox 360 / PS2 / PS3 / Wii / PSP / NDS

Agreed. It certainly looks like the sim engine is greatly improved based on that limited data.

All 3 players went from the 80s into the 90s OVR and then started to slip as age/injuries took a toll late in their careers and that is an indication that maybe the progression is not completely broken this year! Maybe?

Re: Predicting Rookie Careers with Madden '09: IGN

Like the other posters made mention of, the simulation engine looks really well done. I'm really feeling these outcomes. It's great to see the shorter career length for McFadden than the two QB's, as well as the injuries over the course of a career seeming to slow guys down. This is very sophisticated sim stuff, so awesome attention to detail by the devs here.

Re: Predicting Rookie Careers with Madden '09: IGN

36 year old vince young with a 94 ovrl rating kinda scares me. the generic qb with 97 ovrl out of FA scares me too. Other than that, it is much improved from previous editions.

I'm interested to see how this predicts things will go for Rashard Mendenhall and Limas Sweed both.
