Madden NFL 13 Video - Simulated Season Stats

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

Hmm. If you do the math (total rec. yards divided by YPG), he actually missed 3 or 4 games during the year. Impressive considering those are obviously still good numbers.

I'm not gonna get too worked up over it though. Antonio Brown (PIT WR) had over 1,000 yards receiving last year and only had 2 TD (different type of offense but still). Hell, Welker himself only had 3 TDs with 1,165 yards back in 2008, though he has become more of a TD the past few seasons.

Big difference since 08 is that they haven't had a #1 like they had in moss that year. Granted Lloyd is no moss but he is the best #1 they've had since. Combine that with gronk's td totals last year and that leaves Weller the #3 option on long passes and a distant #2 in redzone looks.

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

I'm not too concerned with player leaders, I mean they're important but to me what's WAY more important is the team stats. How they slice the pie individually is a different story.

That being said the team stats look pretty damn good!....except for one REALLY bad sign....1st downs.

In that video the top team with the most first downs would have been ranked 30TH last year! So it seems they are not having enough sustained drives, or scoring WAY too quickly in the sim engine.

At the end of the day, big picture there are more important things, but I just wanted to point that out. Overall though I'm pretty pleased.

Lack of sacks worries me.

13 leads the league by a DT. No OLB's in the top 6.

When was the last time 13 sacks lead the league? Deacon Jones would scoff at such a low leading sack total.

When was the last time a DT lead the league in sacks? This seems more realistic, but having no LBs in there for another year sucks footballs.

The rushing is a bit off, but maybe there were tons of injuries. lol

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

wow the passing stats finally look really good.. having a 4,000 yard passer doesn't look like its rare anymore.. if the completion % is fixed they'll be perfect.. rec #s look good.. seems to be a lil too many rbs around 1300-1400 but hopefully they can fix that.. but if not they arent that bad i guess

sacks leaders are a way too low and too many dts but hopefully they toned down total sacks.. maddens always had way too many players with double-digit sacks

1 thing a lil off topic.. does anybody know if they toned down simmed qb injuries.. i think that was one of the problems with qb stats in 12.. almost every game had stats from 2 qbs because every qb would get hurt and miss some snaps

Aldon Smith, Ware, Woodley,Harrison,Suggs took a year off to play soccer.

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

Let's see:

86 Receptions
1041 Receiving Yards
12.1 Average YPC
82.3 AVG YPG

That's more than some of the other guys who had like 6-14 TD's.

That does suck that he only had 1 TD but I believe the back to back years (2008 & 2009??) when he had like 120+ catches each year he only scored like 3 TD's in each season, so it is not that far fetched.

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

PPG looks pretty high
Rushing yards per player too high
Don't think we didn't notice all those DTs in the sack leaders


Overall, not that bad though.

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

I'm only concerned with the amount of rushing yards, hope it's not that easy again but it seems to be a matter of guys not subbing in enough. Also see a lack of the top TEs.

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

Legatron 9 punts for a 51.3 average.. looks like EA did him justice. Also lol at Henne starting and throwing 30 TDs.

It hasn't happened in the last 30 years, though almost every year with few exceptions only 2-5 people exceed 13 sacks.

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

Question: does the game extrapolate the user's stats if they play less than the full 15 minute quarters? i.e., if you play a 5 minute they multiply the stats by 3?

Seems like it'd be difficult to lead the league in any meaningful stats if the league is being simmed at 15 minutes and you're playing 5 minutes, or if you're playing 5 minutes and the league is being simmed at 5 minutes then the stats would be low.

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

QBs getting way too many TDs, RBs with way too many yards, and defenders not getting enough sacks. Also I'd laugh my *** off if a mediocre Pats CB was the INT leader 2 years in a row.

Re: Madden 13 Retail Video Simulated Season Stats

Why the hell was Mcnabb the Vikes QB? Is this 12 but being faked as 13?

Yeah he totally replicated the interface as well. Makes total sense.

For crying out loud.
