How does AP all day run for 1800 yards and only 12 TDs? How does Wes Welker have over 1000 yards receiving but not 100 catches? Ratings must be way off with the players or the sim stats are broken again. Not the end of the world, but it does break immersion.

Only 5 people had double-digit rushing TDs last year. Also... LeSean McCoy, the NFL's leading rusher, was not one of them. Joique Bell, Lagarrett Blount, Stevan Ridley, Steven Jackson, Donald Brown and Rashad Jennings all had less than 180 carries and were top 20 in TDs. So, the rushing stats were perfectly fine. 7 INTs was just fine, too, as only 5 times since 2009 has a player had more than 7 in a season. Tackles were really close, I think. Passing, receiving and sacks was what I had a problem with...

Stats seem really bad but seeing Adrian Peterson single handedly carrying a crappy Vikings to a Superbowl victory and in the process getting revenge on the Saints in the NFC Championship was beautiful to see.

But in all seriousness, these stats are really bad

Last year Nick Foles threw for 2891 yards and completed 64% of his passes. AP had over 2000 yards in 2012 and only 12 Td's, in fact in 4 of his 7 years he has scored 12 TD's. Last year there were 24 WR's with over 1000 yards, 5 of them had over 100 receptions. Most of the stats aren't that bad compared to the real NFL the problem mainly exists with QB's yards/TD's/Int's.

You never know maybe Teddy Bridgewater is the answer the Vikes have been looking for. They have talent all over the field. They could be like the 2000/2001 Patriots and go from a 5-11 (5-10-1 in your case) season to a Super Bowl victory.

Yeah but I saw Matt Cassel had like 2000 yards and for this sim, he probably started the whole year. The only categories we lead in in this simulation was rushing yards and catches allowed (pls no Xavier)

That and Super Bowl wins. This is the life of a Vikings fan, you get excited to see the Vikings win the Super Bowl even if its in some crappy simulation.

THEY FINALLY FIXED WINNING PERCENTAGE!

In past versions of Madden ties were not properly factored into winning %. So a least that's finally fixed.

The other things I've noticed are the usual weaknesses with their sim engine. QB TD passes are too low. Attempts are too high, way too many RB's have 350ish or more ATT's.

I thought there was to be more focus on the sim engine? This just looks like the usual skewed results.

But at least winning percentage is fixed... the Dev Team finally learned basic high school math!

We have one where he has 13 TD's, 27 TD's and 35 TD's. This is something that needs to be explored more in depth with sliders, quarter length and rosters.

Yes and in that same simmed season Brady had 19 Td's to 14 picks.

I will bet my unborn children that Peyton throws for more than 4000 yards and 13 TDs this season barring injury.
