Madden Simulation: Ravens win

[clyde_carbon]

Ravens will narrowly win Super Bowl XLVII, predicts Madden ?13 | Games Blog - Yahoo! Games

It’s just creepy good at this. Check out the franchise's track record:

- Super Bowl XLVI
Madden: Giants, 27, Patriots, 24
Actual score: Giants, 21, Patriots, 17

- Super Bowl XLV
Madden: Steelers, 24, Packers, 20
Actual score: Packer, 31, Steelers, 25

- Super Bowl XLIV
Madden: Saints 35, Colts 31
Actual score: Saints 31, Colts 17

- Super Bowl XLIII
Madden: Steelers 28, Cardinals 24
Actual score: Steelers 27, Cardinals 23

- Super Bowl XLII
Madden: Patriots 38, Giants 30
Actual score: Giants 17, Patriots 14

- Super Bowl XLI
Madden: Colts 38, Bears 27
Actual score: Colts 29, Bears 17

- Super Bowl XL
Madden: Steelers 24, Seahawks 19
Actual score: Steelers 21, Seahawks 10

Madden: Patriots 47, Eagles 31
Actual score: Patriots 24, Eagles 21

- Super Bowl XXXVIII

Rough stuff for Niners fans, though there might be a smidgen of home field bias at play in this particular prediction. Madden 13's stirring opening sequence is a rousing inspirational speech delivered by none other than...Ray Lewis. Conspiracy!

Yeah, but in the Tecmo Bowl simulation (the much better of the two) the Niners win 31-17.



On a side note, in the comment section of yahoo that talked about the Madden simulation a guy wrote... "but the simulation had Akers making a field goal so it can't be that accurate.

I could see how the Ravens would come out on top in a simulation but the 49ers have the "It" factor this year. The Kaeprenick story is just too good to end one game short.

That same Kaepernick that you hate?

I'm a recent convert. I got fully on board after the Green Bay game and am fully vested now after the Falcons game. Winning those two games in two different fashions showed me a lot.

Super Bowl picks: Computer predicts the 49ers - Baltimore Beat Down

Sounds about right.

 

[TobyTyler]

Nobody on this team wants to be on the first 49er team to ever lose a Super Bowl so they are going to be motivated. Not to mention, Roman and Fangio who both were fired by John Harbaugh would love to shove that in his face

Silly Clyde, expecting rational consistency from the Abyss...

I havent played madden this year but I would assume they have all CKs attributes rated low? I wonder what the outcome would be with updated ratings, like his awareness, and accuracy?

When the game first came out his rating was a 76 overall I beleive now it is a 87 overall....Alex smith is a 88. I would get one and get better details into his stats but I am not at home at the moment.

 

[jayviabay]

well, I looked it up...

they have him, 70 overall; 46 awareness; 85 speed; 75 accuracy; 92 throwing power;

I think the only stat thats fair, is the throwing power

OK, thats better than the first release stats i found. jumping to an 87 should have his awareness higher than a 46

Those were the stats when the game first came out

is that world cup octopus still alive? he's the only predictor I believe.

is that world cup octopus still alive? he's the only predictor I believe.

Are you talking about Paul the Octopus? That octopus died back in October 2010, and even if he were still alive, he's loyal to futebol because that's the only sport that he made predictions.

According to my kid's Xbox, I'm the worlds best race car driver, golfer, bowler, and assassin.

And my weatherman can't accurately predict the weather six days out with a computer.

I'll wait to Sunday to see who wins.

What is Kaep's rating on the game?
