Re: The Pain and Misery of Simulated Stats
The real pain I have experienced with simulated stats has been in Madden 25 due to its absence! Just last year there were continuous stat overlays with QB, WR, and RB stats on offense and stats for tackles, sacks and INTs on defense seemingly after each play. This year the stat overlays are few and far between. I never know my QB's completion % and have resorted to pausing the game to check the stats out as a result. Not good. -
Re: The Pain and Misery of Simulated Stats
Simulated Stats are terrible in this game and have been in Madden for a long time. It totally ruins immersion.
-Not enough plays per game
-Not enough HB receptions
-Currently too many INTS thrown by QBs
-Not enough Pass attempts per game.
-Sacks are not recorded as TFLs in simulated games, but they are recorded as TFLs in played games.
-We cannot see the dropped passes stat in Simmed games
-Punting average is way too high in simmed games
-Every Fumble Recovery in simulated games is counted twice. There will never be a player with 1 fumble recovery.
How hard can these thing be to fix?Last edited by Spudbox65; 10-01-2024, 11:40 AM.Comment

I expect it to be patched in later. They've been slowly making improvements.Comment

Re: The Pain and Misery of Simulated Stats
This article should have been made 5 Maddens ago lol. What's really sad is playbooks dictate all the sim stats. If I have a TE when 55 catching but with KC playbook he still goin grab 80 to 100 receptions. 55 speed QB with Ravens playbook? Still goin try to run like he Lamar. He may fail miserably but he goin run it 150 to 200 timesComment

Re: The Pain and Misery of Simulated Stats
Madden should just include a simulated # of plays setting for stats for user and cpu/ai team controlled stats.
Id be happy with a minutes option as well, but that would be more problematic with generating realistic sim stats than the # of plays simulated stat.Comment

Re: The Pain and Misery of Simulated Stats
were not broken at all. Im on PC, (Madden) I just modded the stats much closer to real life and have since it was on PC years ago. Whats stopping a professional dev from doing this, thats the real question.Comment

Re: The Pain and Misery of Simulated Stats
I'm obviously in the minority but I'm less interested in sim stats in games I'm not even apart of and more interested in the game keeping my attention. I still tweak sliders but at the end of the day, if sim stats were spot on but I didn't enjoy playing, I wouldn't keep playing. The closer to IRL simmed stats are, the better but it can't be the reason I play or don't play. Again, I realize I'm in the minority but I can live with that.T-BONE.

Re: The Pain and Misery of Simulated Stats
I (among others) tuned SuperSim on Madden 13 (and yes, you have to work around the playbooks. It's a huge pain in the ***). Every month or so, you have to get up in front of a bunch of management types and the rest of your team and justify what you're working on.
So, I'd never in my life given a live presentation or really done much public speaking at all. The meeting ended up being cited as one of the reasons I was hired full time (I was a contractor until then.)
My job, as the ranking on-site designer, was to bring our team up one by one to explain their projects (one of the reasons I impressed was that I was intimately aware of everything happening on Franchise, so when the other designers fumbled an explination, I picked up the slack. Management liked that I knew everything and could articulate it better even than the folks working on individual features).
Anyways, we came to my part of the presention and why A.) we were ripping out the old stat-gen entirely and replacing it with SuperSim and B.) why we were dumping months of my own man hours into tuning it.
My opening slide was of the 2009 rushing leaders, topped off by Chris Johnson's 2,006 yards. I pointed out the milestone that 2,000 yards rushing is, emphasizing that it happens rarely. I wanted to make sure the people in the room who weren't football fans understood the magnitude of a 2,000 yard season before I sprung the next slide.
The next slide was a screenshot from Madden 05 of the rushing leaders at the end of a simulated season. If I remember correctly, there were 6 2,000 yard rushers.
I said something along the lines of the following: Imagine, playing through a full season with a player you drafted and built around, you ran every play, perhaps 400 carries for that specific back, and you did it. You broke 2,000 yards, perhaps the greatest single season accomplishment a back can have. And you go to the stat sheet and see this. You're 5th in the league in rushing.
I had a script, but I forgot it and winged it here. I was honestly nervous and just rushing. I went through two more slides that illustrated the disappointment and frustrating our users have with bad stats, emphasizing that franchise mode, of all modes, must be pure sim.
I do remember how I ended. "... so that this [back twice to the '05 screenshot] never happens again."
I was the only person actually applauded in that meeting. It was pretty cool.There are two types of people on OS: Those who disagree with me, and those who agree.
The first kind is wrong. The second is superfluous.

Re: The Pain and Misery of Simulated Stats
This has always been the bane of my Madden experience. My low key OCD obsesses over tackle stats. Wayyyy too many assisted tackles from my team compared to other cpu teams in Franchise.
Does anyone know if the tackle stats reflect more solo tackles than assisted this year?
ThanksComment
