Madden 15 Predicted the Score and Stats of the Super Bowl

Date:

‘Madden 15’ predicted the exact score of the Super Bowl.

This may have been great Super Bowl for fans of the Patriots and Katy Perry, but between horrific injuries and bad play calling, the developers of Madden 15 were really celebrating.

Every year, the folks at EA Sports rig a game of Madden to predict the Super Bowl. They’re usually right—they’ve nailed something like eight of the last 11 winners. [Kotaku]

The Madden sim predicted Tom Brady would win Super Bowl MVP (which he did), passing for 335 yards and 4 touchdowns. Brady finished the game with 328 yards and 4 touchdowns. The simulation missed by only seven yards.

As for that game-winner, the Madden sim also predicted New England would trail 24-14 in the third quarter before staging a comeback, capped by a game-winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Julian Edelman. Yep, Madden nailed that one, too.

The simulation had Edelman finish as the Patriots’ top receiver, with eight catches for 106 yards. Edelman ended the Super Bowl with nine catches for 109 yards.
