    EA Sports Simulates the NFL Season with Madden NFL 13, Do You Like the Results?


    New England Patriots and Chicago Bears Capture Regular Season Crown in Madden NFL 13 Simulation Powered by EA SPORTS Arena

    Quarterbacks Reign as Tom Brady Wins MVP and Andrew Luck Named Offensive Rookie of the Year

    The Chicago Bears and New England Patriots won their respective divisions and took home the overall number one seeds in the playoffs according to the Madden NFL 13 Season Simulation, powered by EA SPORTS Arena. The Patriots followed up last year’s Super Bowl appearance with a dominant season, securing a 12-4 record on the arm of NFL MVP Tom Brady. Brady delighted fantasy football owners everywhere by tossing a record-tying 50 touchdown passes against only 8 interceptions.

    The Bears matched the Patriots’ record, also going 12-4 to win a tightly contested NFC North. Chicago needed every win they could muster, as the Green Bay Packers also ended the season at 12-4, but with the Bears holding an edge in the tiebreakers the Packers were relegated to the 5th seed in the playoffs.

    The two surprise playoff teams in the AFC were the Kansas City Chiefs (11-5) and Buffalo Bills (10-6), both ending long playoff droughts. The Chiefs were a particular shock, winning the AFC West with a record of 11-5 and earning Romeo Crennel Coach of the Year Honors.

    The NFC experienced near total upheaval, with new champions in three of four divisions. The Atlanta Falcons (11-5) and Philadelphia Eagles (10-6) joined the Bears as new divisional winners, while only the San Francisco 49ers (11-5) were able to repeat amidst weak competition in the NFC West. In bombshell news, last year’s Super Bowl champion New York Giants didn’t even reach the postseason, finishing a disappointing 8-8.

    Though the rebuilding Indianapolis Colts (4-12) had a tough season, fans were able to take solace in the fact that rookie quarterback and number one overall draft pick Andrew Luck took home Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Luck managed to outduel fellow highly-touted rookie Robert Griffin III, finishing the season with 4,170 yards, 32 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. On the defensive side of things, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Courtney Upshaw was able to step into an already intimidating unit and cause enough havoc to be named Defensive Rookie of the Year.

    Other award winners include Detroit Lions wide receiver and Madden NFL 13 cover athlete Calvin Johnson, Jr. as Offensive Player of the Year (97 receptions for 1,572 yards and 16 touchdowns), and DeMarcus Ware of the Dallas Cowboys as Defensive Player of the Year (18 sacks).

    Tune into G4’s X-Play on Monday, August 27th at 6:30/5:30pm CT to check out more video of the Madden NFL 13 Season Simulation.

    Geez those passing numbers look ridiculous. I know we are in a passing league now but still four qb's over 5000 yards passing(i can understand that somewhat) but the too many qb's with very high touchdown totals.

        The Chiefs aren't on a long playoff drought...they made it in 2010.

          seriously. And they act like it would be shocking if they made the playoffs. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they won that division.



          And on a completely unrelated note, the Bears will not have the #1 seed. They have become extremely overrated this offseason.

            There were three over 5k last year and the fourth was 67 yards short of 5k. And there were three with 40+ tds. The stats are slightly higher but not at all unrealistic given no off-season before last year.

              I like it I see 2 of of the top TEs mentioned, passing #s may be a little high but it reflects the trend in the NFL and sacks look good.

                  Assuming that Seattle didn't have Wilson starting at QB. Would be interesting to see if that would make a difference.

                    How is this done? I have been reading the thread were multiple seasons are being simmed and there weren't those type of sack numbers or positions. Is this an actual in-game sim or something else entirely?

                        I'm just surprised Stafford and Johnson put up those numbers and didn't make the playoffs. If Stafford goes over 5,000 yards and CJ gets 15+ TDs then the Lions will make the playoffs this year.

                          An actual NFL season is never that predictable.

                              Ya those sack totals look nothing like what I'm getting. 5 Linebackers in the top 10? I wish.

                              Gronk had a huge year? I have simulated multiple seasons and he has never put up numbers like that.
