Madden 13's take on Sunday's matchup

[Papa-pwn]

I'm in the process of simming 20 games on Madden 13 for this weekend's game. I started two days ago when I was able to update both depth charts(Decastro, Mendenhall sitting). I have 11 games done. When I complete the 20th, would you guys like if I averaged the stats and posted them here? I understand it is a game, but please don't move this to the video games section. This is more about a game prediction, than the actual video game itself.

I usually do this for my own entertainment, but I figure there could be a few people here that'd enjoy it as well. If so, I'll post a 20 game sim average for each game

Here we are!

Steelers-Broncos

Don't forget to take Ryan Clark out as well

Don't forget to take Ryan Clark out as well

Yessir, I cut him from their roster so he doesn't even appear on special teams lol. Sickle cell ain't no joke!

[PunchDrunk]

Please post the results.

You should do it all season if you have the time.:thumb:

[Cyrend]

Really cool idea. Go for it!

[hardcorebronco]

Don't be surprised to see the Broncos get crushed in the sim. We are massively underrated in Madden 13. Go to "CC" Mode and cut one player and then resign him to get an accurate average of the team rating and watch the Broncos plummet to like a 76 overall or something.

Please post the results.

I agree. If you have the time I would definitely be interested in seeing the simulated results each week. 20 games is alot to simulate though! That would take me like 5 days lol

AGREED...especially our WRs... highest ranked WR is 81 with Thomas...everyone else is under 80

our Dline is ranked REALLY low too which i kinda understand but still...aside from Bannan and Warren...they are aweful on Madden

Ayers and Hunter are pretty low as well, they have horrid first steps on the game...

[Papa-pwn]

3 games to go! I should it all compiled this evening.

[Noonskadoodle17]

Didn't ESPN.com have Madden Simulation for every game each week?

Not sure if they still do

[Noonskadoodle17]

ESPN.com still does do them

It took one game to see that old Manning magic back in action, as Peyton threw two fourth-quarter touchdowns to help the Broncos comeback and beat the Steelers 27-24.

Manning completed 22 of 31 passes, saving his best moments for last thanks to an early 10-3 deficit the Broncos found themselves in. Thanks to clutch catches by Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas and Chris Gronkowski, Manning was able to find his groove in the second half, lighting up the Steelers secondary for the thrilling win.

Box score is in the link

[BroncoFanNC]

Clutch catch by Chris Gronk? Hahaha

[Papa-pwn]

OP edited to include the 20 game averages

That was easier than I thought, I'll probanoy do this for every week, especially if our game this Sunday goes as well as pedicted above!

I think ESPN does Madden sims just for the MNF game. Could be wrong tho

[jetrazor74]

Sweet! Thanks for doing that Papa!!
