I’ve ran two *Super Bowl cpu/cpu games with my slider set. KC won the first match 31-16. Tampa won the second one 31-15. Kind of interesting the scores were almost the same both times but the winners were flipped.

When KC won, the game was closer than the score. It was 24-16 and Brady had a chance with about a minute left, but he threw a pick 6 that ended their hopes. Here’s a stream of the first game.*https://youtu.be/l5DmRTPP-3g

Wihen Tampa won the game, it was back and forth for 3 quarters but the Bucs pulled away at the end with two TD runs by Jones. They put the game away with about 4 minutes left. Didn’t stream the second one.

Think I’ll run another since it’s 1-1 in the first 2 tries.

First EA Simulation was 37-24 Chiefs. Wonder what changed this time

Pro Strategy Football 2021 Pre-Play sim was conducted yesterday, live, on YouTube. The result of that live sim had Tampa Bay defeating Kansas City 27-10. And the stats are similar. Even the mass number of penalties committed by Kansas City.

Here is the link to the YouTube video:

I recall a few years ago people on here were knocking the player intros and saying nobody shoots arrows.

Move forward a few years and player intros are shooting arrows for the SB. lol

Maybe EA was prophetic.

What are you referring to with "shooting arrows"? I don't recall seeing what you are talking about.

I do recall watching the first drive and seeing the simple graphic appear listing the starting players with photos in little boxes along the bottom of the screen and thinking "that's how you do it, not players on the field doing stupid little dances in groups and camera whipping from group to group like Madden" for an introduction to the players.

I really miss realistic presentation in my Football video games.

Well before the first drive.

That is exactly what I was referring to.

Before the kickoff and maybe before the anthems were song, there were individual player intros on the stadium board and all the players were aping and hyping themselves. Several of the players were shooting imaginary arrows, the same imaginary arrows that people were complaining about here when Madden had player intros with imaginary arrows a few years ago.

Well....that was for the superbowl so I guess we can cut them some slack. But I'd rather see real broadcast style graphics for most things. Then maybe add all this crazy WWE intro looking stuff to a superbowl intro or something? But show team highlights from other games....not the 2 teams about to play before they actually play in the same stadium wearing the exact same uniforms too!
