ESPN Madden Superbowl Prediction? (1 Viewer)

[ChadBroChill17]

So I was watching ESPN the other day and they had just simulated the Saints-Colts game on Madden 2010 and Saints came out on top. I thought it was bs until they showed the stats on these simulated games: 5 of 6 last Superbowls predicted, score of the AFC championship predicted, etc. etc. Coincidence? Thoughts? Opinions?

With that sample size and the logic behind this, there is 0% chance of it being a coincidence. Bet the farm on the Saints.

How can you consider a video game a legit prediction?

The game legitimately predectied the outcome

If I simulate a couple of seasons on my Madden 2010 (at xbox 360) it almost always ends with a SB with either Saints or Packers and Patriots or Steelers.

The Colts defense is vastly underrated in my version...

Here is an excerpt from an article that ran in the Minneapolis Star Tribune a couple of days ago.

OK, so what did the Predictalator predict? We need some help, considering it's an evenly matched Super Bowl featuring the top seeds in each conference for the first time since 1993.

Well, based on its 50,000 simulated games, the Predictalator says, among many things, that the Colts will have 397 yards to the Saints' 376. Peyton Manning will win the MVP. And the Colts will score 28 points, while the Saints will score 27.

So who won most of the 50,000 games?

"The Colts won 51.4 percent of the time," Bessire said.

We'll see. They only faced 4 passing offenses anywhere near what they will see today.
