Madden NFL Has Now Predicted 8 of the Last 10 Super Bowl Winners

Obviously, the blogger here is biased toward Madden. Or, maybe he is being paid by EA Sports.

The text of the original post is a direct copy-paste from EA Sports' Madden NFL website. So yes, the writing here is "biased towards Madden" because it came from the horse's mouth, so-to-speak.

You notice a few months ago that all Operation Sports members were warned by admin to stop badmouthing EA under the threat of being banned?

Hmmmm, I woder why that was? Maybe they are in EA's pocket. They consistently give extremely high ratings to EA games, but then you read actual costmer comments about the game & find out about all the glitches & problems.

The rule was implemented after the Madden NFL 10 development cycle - during its release and support phase. This was a time when Ian Cummings, Phil Frazier, Donny Moore, etc. were regular posters on this forum, and there was an unprecedented level of interaction between developers and fans without any middle-man PR guy, blog editor, or whatnot mediating the conversation. Madden NFL 10, though a tremendous step forward for the series, wasn't a perfect game, and many voiced constructive criticism about it. However, there were also those who voiced their opinions of the game less constructively, instead posting far more negative thoughts about the game, the staff who made it, EA Sports, and so on. The sheer volume of personal attacks, slanders, and blasphemies about the game and towards the developers themselves frankly were uncalled for, and it rightly drove away every one of the EA Sports developers who posted here. Few of the OS posters who were targeted by the new rule prohibiting attacks on developers exhibited any decency, restraint, or ability to voice any criticism of the game in a constructive and useful manner, and they deserved the punishments handed to them. The policy is not unreasonable as a one-strike policy keeps the boards clean from trouble. The rules of OS are further easy to abide by; I've been here since 2002 without issue.

Related, EA Sports isn't in the pocket of Operation Sports. This accusation has come up since the NFL 2K days, and it's been denied every time. The two have an obvious working relationship - EA Sports provides exclusive video game media to Operation Sports such as news, previews, screenshots, videos, and review build access in exchange for publishing of that information to the site, which drives web traffic and ergo advertising revenue to Operation Sports. Consequently, the content posted provides word-of-mouth advertising for the EA Sports product in question. It's never been a direct monetary relationship, however. Why would EA Sports give OS any monetary support whatsoever when the company has its own website and forum to drive traffic to?

I find it amazing how people come to an article to bad mouth it every single time it pops up. Is Madden so Authentic that it can figure out play by play, score by score, minute by minute action down to a T? NO!!

But it says something when Madden has correctly predicted 8 of the last 10 Superbowl champions and have gotten pretty close on the score....can any other game say that? So I guess next you will say that EA and the Madden developers are apart of the Illuminati or they own all the Sports Media outlets and the NFL so they can dictate the game how they want..?
You know how you get corporations to change? Ignore them. But I forgot this is the internet where every opinion is fact and everybody is an expert. LMAO!!!

Now where are all those people who claim the game "never claimed to be simulation" and "it's just a video game".

We can sit back and laugh all we want, bottom line the reason this game continues to devolve is that is what EA truly feels is product is.

Madden NFL Super Bowl predictions are incredibly accurate due to the game’s authentic gameplay, the development team’s unparalleled access to NFL resources and its prominent place in NFL culture.

I don't care what aspect of the game is being discussed or how small the nuance or detail this should serve as the response.

There is a 7 page debate on the XP system and players changing positon with valid arguments on each side. While its fanbase argues over a excluded options impact on the game, EA touts to the masses how "incredibly accurate" and "authentic" it's game is.

You tell me who has lost touch and is taking it too serious, consumer or company.

And this is exactly why it will never change. Ever. There won't ever be another company making NFL games and we will continue to have this colossal pile of crap being pushed to the forefront.

You get warned for bad mouthing ANY GAME COMPANY Not just EA, I've seen people bad mouth 2K Sports and get banned.

I really don't care about how "accurate" Madden, they got 8 out of the last 10 Super Bowls right, congrats. I actually try to have fun with the game. Funny thing about Super Bowl predictions: I've gotten 6 of the last 7 Super Bowls right.

See its posts like this that create nothing but arguments because uniformed people come in and pass judgement and assessments on others.

You never took a moment to read the actual article being referenced.

You instead responded what with what you thought would be an outlandish claim that Madden wouldn't claim to figure out play, score and minute to minute game action. You backed that up with supporting no other game could make such claims.

The closing remarks about everybody on the internet being an expert and opionon is pure gold. You wrote a sarcastic post directed at degrading others giving the impression we think what we say is fact and are all experts.

Then again, this being the Internet I suppose you can say whatever you wish and not expect to be called out on being uniformed.

This is what was said by EA


Going deeper, the video below also foretold touchdowns for Anquan Boldin and Frank Gore, and was nearly perfect in predicting Colin Kaepernick’s stat line. Kaep went 16-28 with one touchdown and a pick in Super Bowl XLVII, just two incompletions and one pass attempt short of the predicted total. In addition, the simulation also correctly included an Ed Reed interception as the only pick in the game.

Madden NFL Super Bowl predictions are incredibly accurate due to the game’s authentic gameplay, the development team’s unparalleled access to NFL resources and its prominent place in NFL culture. Because of these factors, over the past 25 years, Madden NFL has become known as the 33rd franchise.


So what you felt was so outlandish was actually what they did.

What they do is simulate it like a 100x and keep all stats and scores, and then AFTER the Super Bowl, post the one that predicts both the winner and stats and come brag about it, and tell casual fans who don't play Madden (or the ones who don't play sim) "hey our game predicted the SB champion cause its... "realistic" our game is super! You should buy it"

You notice there wasn't a post about this before the Super Bowl right? If there was whoopty-doo for Madden.

SMH.....first dude you have absolutely no idea what I was referencing you come attacking my post and calling me uniformed yet you have absolutely no idea at all. You just saw a post you felt like you could pick out and pick on yet you look fairly ******** for doing so. My post was not bashing Madden my post was in response to some people saying "Well Madden didn't call this play and Madden didn't call this play" I hate to sound like a jerk but reading is fundamental sir.

My post was in no way directed directly at Madden it was directed at people who just want to bad mouth Madden and EA Sports because the game isn't up to THEIR standards. Dude get a clue next time or how bout this STFU and keep your comments to yourself.

NCAA and NHL video games are more real life like than madden. And you can use created playbooks in online LG.Madden you can not. Only thing madden has is the new engine which once nCAA 14 gets that this year madden will fall by the wast side.

Re: Madden NFL Has Now Predicted 8 of the Last 10 Super Bowl Winners

I laughed.

[Maelstrom]

and just like madden there was no holding call on the defense ... LOL

Yeah, I maxed out offsides, offensive & defensive pass interfierance, intentional grounding & none of them get called. The CPU defense never jumps offsides, I rarely see any pass interference calls, & the CPU QB can throw the ball away in the pockect & not get caled for intentional grounding.

The intentioanl grounding has been always been a problem, but in the past I could set my penalty sliders & get some realistic game play.

I used to set my pass interference sliders for 70/65 & offisides sliders for 60 & get a fairly accurate amount of interference & offsides calls in a game,

Now, even with them maxed out,I rarely see any calls.

[thehitokiri]

and this was not holding either right ?

Re: Madden NFL Has Now Predicted 8 of the Last 10 Super Bowl Winners

I'd rather them do a CPU game of Madden for the Super Bowl, throw on all the "sim settings". 15 Min Quarters.

Throw it on Youtube.

Cause there's no reason they've never done this before eh?
