Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

I'm also curious how subsequent seasons sim out... Skyboxer got SLIGHTLY better numbers in the years following 2014, which may be a byproduct of the AI re-calibrating the "gameplans" after each season... Hmm?

It's already been pointed out that completion percentages appear fine so it's either yards per completion or attempts that's the issue.

And it's been pointed out that running backs are getting far too many carries, so yeah, that's the best course of action IMO.

From what I remember, M12 was the last game that had decent stats.

In Madden 13 the qb stats were inflated because qbs very rarely got injured so most teams would only use one qb the whole year. Each team would have at least one qb with 20 or more passing tds (which is also unrealistic). Also, this was the game with sim scores like 54-45 or 81-7 on a regular bases so that also inflated the stats.

M25 sim stats were very similar to M15 from what I've seen. I simmed a few seasons over the last couple of days and they were low.

Guys, please don't get this thread locked with dev bashing. This appears to be a serious issue and we need as many eyes on it as possible if we hope to get a fix.

Wow terrible, the sack numbers are just as bad as the passing statistics. If someone could post team stats like points per game and points allowed per game, that would be fantastic.

Until there is a fix or a work around (coach settings?), I won't be buying.

Definitely confirmed that I'll be in Madden Ultimate Team this year. I just can't get immersed when the statistics are so out of wack from reality. Especially when I'll be tuning my game with sliders to be realistic for real NFL averages and the simmed numbers are all over the place.

Watching streams the gaemplay looks much improved but the franchise mode hasn't got that touch yet.

I remember hearing in the CFM video the developer (sorry, can't remember his name) mentioned something about player confidence affecting sims stats. Maybe something is going on where the qbs are loosing too much confidence and the teams are running the ball more.... just throwing that out there.

Is there a way to alter coach settings? Where they run the ball less? Because you've got Rushing yards too high, passing too low... Just makes sense if you can do that.

Also, do changes to sliders affect the stats at all, ie raising pass blocking to cut down on sacks?

Interesting, that is definitely a possibility. I assume you can't turn player confidence off which would be unfortunate in terms of simply changing coaching settings to fix stats.
