Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

I dont understand why this is always such a big problem. It just seems like there is always something that keeps me from enjoying this game fully.

Until they have their sim engine use the actual game engine they will have issues. I'm not sure why this is so hard for them to understand. Having the sim engine use the actual game engine also allows for much greater testing/balance of both sim and gameplay. Sierra's Frontpage Sports football was doing this almost 20 years ago on computer hardware much less powerful than what these consoles are running. Although each sim week took 5-10 minutes to run, it gave one of the greatest sim/franchise experiences of all time. You could actually go and watch a replay of every game simmed each week, or just watch all the highlights.

Ew, those stats look horrible. I'm willing to wait on other people's findings though until I come to a conclusion. This could be a game breaker though.

I loved Sierra's Frontpage Sports games. I wish they would have been successful with their FPS Football 99 when they went 3D. That year they abandoned the team sports and just went with the hook and bullet sports. They had the right idea with the sim engine, progression engine, playbooks, etc.

Anybody remember XOR Football? Sorry for being off topic.

Not just passing TDs, passing efficiency is way too low. Manning is hitting over 100 and at least 5 other QBs are every single year, or near it.

Hope I never have to sim an online CFM game, these stats are ugly. These are the worst I can remember in a Madden game since any PS3 version.

Has anyone with early access tested this more?

As part of our coverage of Madden NFL 15 here at GoodGameBro, we decided that we should test the simulation engine—as well as the new ability to sim all the way through a season in Connected Franchise Mode with a single selection—and show our community what kind of results we saw when the game was left to play through a season by itself. The statistics and data contained in this article are based on five separate simulations of the 2014-2015 NFL season in Madden NFL 15, using 15 minute quarters on All-Madden difficulty with all sliders at their default values.
