Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

[raiderphantom]

Reminds me of Madden 13 where the Pats would run Danny Woodhead into the ground and Brady would have under 10 passing attempts. Ugh. Am I playing Madden 12 another year? I really hope they fix this fur the final version or get a patch in fast. Because otherwise, I think this game looks fairly impressive.

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?

Hopefully you are right....But when you really think about it, it is so frustrating that we have to go through this dance time and time again to try and fix things about the game.

WOW...Epic Fail on EA's part. The Sim stats are always suspect, but these appear to be the worst ive ever seen, and that is saying something. Its amazing to me that the NFL is going more and more air raid yet the future of madden Simulation appears to be ground and pound. I'd like to believe that this disconnect actually exists over other excuses, like neglect or incompetence.

Does anyone know enough about Development to say whether or not this is patchable? I was on the fence prior to this news and now I'm leaning on waiting for my PS4 until this is fixed, or NBA2K is released.

This is what I am wondering too.

The devs have not chimed in, which suggests to me that they have now recognized that this is an issue.

Perhaps they will try to address it with a future patch. If they remain silent, then this won't be addressed until next year, at best.

Gotta be optimistic and say they now know its an issue. I REALLY hope they fix this cause I LOVE this game, but if they dont, hello NCAA 14 and NHL 15.

Just simulated a season, week by week (not sim to the end of the season). On All-Pro with some adjusted sliders. Here's the numbers:

Top 5 QB's by yards:

Name - Yards - TD - INT - ATT - YPA - Com%

1. Brees - 4027 - 34 - 14 - 622 - 6.5 - 60%
2. Stafford - 3929 - 21 - 12 - 578 - 6.8 - 63%
3. Peyton - 3772 - 33 - 5 - 536 - 7.0 - 69%
4. Foles - 3551 - 17 - 9 - 520 - 6.8 - 65%
5. Flacco - 3526 - 20 - 8 - 503 - 7.0 - 64%

It's a combination of ATT and YPA.
Last year, Brees finished with 650 ATT and 7.9 YPA.
Stafford - 634 ATT, 7.3 YPA
Peyton - 659 ATT, 8.3 YPA


Rushing Attempts were up there:

1. Rice - 435
2. Tate - 385
3. Gore - 382
4. Ball - 380
5. Vereen - 377

Receiving looked good enough, could use some more yardage (but that goes hand in hand with passers).


Some other very worrying things for CFM offline fans....

The following QB's regressed or stayed the same after 1 simulated season:

Bortles, Jay Cutler, EJ Manuel, Geno Smith, Cam Newton (AWR went down 11 pts), Tom Brady (DRAMATICALLY regressed - all sub 80 accuracy), Brees, Big Ben (same as Brady, dramatically regressed), Rivers (same as Brady, Ben).

I can't really find any good QB's after 1 season....Luck improved slightly (Med accuracy went up like 6 pts, but Deep ACC went down a few).

This is not good...

Is there an option to look at the cpu box scores? Maybe looking in depth at each game will help to figure out what is going on.
