Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

[Steve_OS]

Our friends at ESG have posted this Madden NFL 15 video that shows end of season stats, league leaders, awards, division standings, and more. They also simmed the playoffs and Super Bowl.

For those of you interested in simulated stats, check out the results and leave your thoughts.

Stats broken once again.......... Manning is going to throw for 42 fewer TDs than the year before. Wow. Passing yards okay, completion percentage okay, TDs way low, picks too high. Rushing yards okay, ypc okay, TDs way low.

i like the idea that they sim a season to check the simulation stats, get this result and go "yep! fine."

Those stats are pretty bad, but I care more about actual gameplay than sim stats. Looks like they can't find a balance between the 2

Not saying it is not broken as most of the QB numbers did look on the low side but cherry picking one player doesn't exactly prove it one way or the other. In 2004 he threw 49 TD's the next season he threw for 21 less, not as much of a drop but it's not completely out of the question. RB Chris Johnson went from over 2000 yards one season to 1300 the next, AP essentially did the same. It's not uncommon for guys to have a huge drop off after a record breaking season. All of the other stats look pretty much like an NFL season a few are higher than normal a few are lower than normal. We still need more time and a few more simulated seasons before we can judge it one way or another.

While I agree one simulated season is not enough to judge the effectiveness of the sim engine, for a small sample size, this was not a good look. In what universe would Peyton only throw for 13 touchdown passes? A lot of those numbers are pretty bad, IMO.

I only care because I thought this was a new feature this year, correct me if I am wrong, but aren't they touting "re-worked sim stats" this year?

Not a single 5000 yard passer? 13 TD for Manning? wow.
