If this year’s “Madden 16” Super Bowl prediction is anything like last year’s, you might want to place your bets on their projected winner.
That’s because with a record of 9-3, EA Sports is wildly accurate with these simulations. But their record isn’t the only eye-popping aspect of these simulations. For example, before last year’s Super Bowl it also nailed Tom Brady’s projected stats as well as Julian Edelman’s game-winning touchdown.
Per USA TODAY:
The Madden sim predicted Tom Brady would win Super Bowl MVP, passing for 335 yards and 4 touchdowns. Brady finished the game with 328 yards and 4 touchdowns. The simulation missed by only seven yards. As for that game-winner, the Madden sim also predicted New England would trail 24-14 in the third quarter before staging a comeback, capped by a game-winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Julian Edelman. Yep, Madden nailed that one, too.
Here’s this year’s simulation. If Super Bowl 50 ends up being anything like this, we’re in for a treat.
