Not Sim? Madden Completely Gets the Super Bowl Right...

[MAGboyswifT27]

Cool that EA predicted it right but with that same enthusiasm that you have for that, can you put that same energy towards areas of concern for your customers like myself? That'd be nice for a change... Not hating, just saying...

i still think it's funny that brady like to play with mushy balls.

Hahaha I was wondering the same exact thing. Also, did it include the brawl and Richard Sherman's reaction to the pick?

Thing is, I think from a CPU-v-CPU sim point of view, Madden isn't too far off being really accurate for the most part. The problem has always been when there is Human interaction. Either by making some aspects too easy (like getting CPU sacks this year) or too hard (Robo-QBs) for the human player.

As soon as a pass interference call was made in the Super Bowl, the actual game started to split from the "sim".

Did they predict the fight?

Everyone replying to this thread has to realize there are multiple definitions of the term "Sim". For me, I see Sim as stats. Final Scores, Total Yards, Pass vs Rush split, Penalty yards, & Player stats. I'm not worried about the gameplay as long as it's fun.

For others, Sim means gameplay. Footplanting, OL/DL battles, WR/DB interactions, no warping, real penalties. Some want a combination of both. Be mindful of others opinions and when you describe something as not Sim...stat what you expect as sim, but don't disregard other's comments saying what they believe in.

Was it simulated with 5 minute quarters? Madden usually puts up 50 on super sim.
