Why can't they get simulated stats right?

[faster]

It's ridiculous. EA can get this right, why can't Visual Concepts? It's the only thing they have over this game.

This year, same ol story. When was the last time 1500 yards led the league in rushing? Or 13 rushing TDs, or 1200 WR yards?

Ridiculous. No excuse out of a simulation. They've done everything else right, but blow this area, just like in past years.

I'll be playing ESPN, but WTF is the deal???? Does anybody else feel like this? Why make a simulation if you aren't going to simulate correct stats? Sigh..... so close to perfect for me......

Did you put the simulated stats for 15 minute quarters? Someone rushed for 2,100 yards in my franchise, I forgot who it was though.

Doesn't changing the sim time help this ?

[limelicker]

Think you need to find the 'sim stats time' option. Appears to be working just fine on my game.

Well then, if I'm wrong then I apologize. I'll check this out quick. sry i jumped to conclusions.

Here are leaders back to 1990. If you average the stats, I would say 1600 rushing yards is about the norm, so it is not too far off.

Actually changing the sim time does affect the final end season stats or that is in the 2K4 game it does.I usually set my sim time at 3 but no higher then 5 due to the crazy numbers it generates.

Now this happened in the 2K4 game and I'm just assuming it'll be the same for the 2K5 but I haven't tried it yet untill I pick it up tomarrow.

Ok... here's the dealio

You can set sim time up to 15 minutes...

The correct time for rushing and receiving stats to be on is about 8 minutes. When simulating at that length, all of the QBs throw for over 4000 yards and over 35 TDS... ALL OF THEM.

If you drop it down to get QB stats rights, all the rushing and WR stats are WAY low, with 1300 yards leading the league for rushing and 1300 leading for receving. Not to mention they aren't even close on TDs. WAY WAY WAY down.

It's the same as last year. not even close.
