Madden Simulation for Dallas vs. Philly

[ScipioCowboy]

All season I've suspected this simulation is poorly calibrated. This prediction merely confirms it. Even when Dallas wins, Romo's numbers are seldom better than mediocre.

[Q_the_man]

I believed it til I saw Romo only had 87 yards passing and Hoyte had 7 carries....

 

[Rampage]

well madden is based off last season.......but it's clearly much different than last season. 27-10 cowboys

Don't they update the rosters and ratings throughout the season?

 

[HighTechDave]

38-10 Cowboys. period

if you play online they do. but i remember a few weeks ago it said terry glenn caught a few passes. so i think they just pop the game in and let the cpu play the cpu without updates

Geez Madden is on Crack. The same emulation has the Commanders beat the giants 34 - 10 and the packers lose to the Rams 30-27. This thing is worst than MAgic 8-ball.

never insult the magic 8-ball...he is just going through a tough time and isn't concentrating on his job...its hard going through a divorce him and the 9 ball have been together for along time producing 13 round bundles of joy

Is emulation actually the correct term?

This is a serious question. I'm genuinely curious.

 

[Avery]

I think simulation is the correct word.

 

[LowTech]

OK.......this is the one that made me wet myself laughing:

"Jevon Kearse and the defensive line were in Romo's face all afternoon"



please.......stop it

:cry: Dang! That's going to be a lot of child support. Quick everybody, let's say a quick prayer for Magic 8-Ball.

Kearse gimped into the backfield many times.

In reality, the writers can only talk about the sim and not play it again no matter how ridiculous it is. If it would have said that the Jets beat the Pats 37-7, they'd have to write about the emergence of Darelle Revis returning three Tom Brady INT's or Cotchery breaking out and dominating the Pats secondary all day.

 

[Achozen]

Hey, atleast Stanback got a couple of catches.

 

[Royal Laegotti]

Please stop doing the Madden simulation!:angryno:


Allow me to correct the Madden simulation.

[CliffnDallas]

I think Madden and the magic 8 Ball should get together. They are the perfect couple.

 

[D-TownRadio]

17-14 Cowboys

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

is the Eagle D really that good to keep us from our avg 32 pts per game?

OK, time once again for a serious critique of a RIDICULOUS simulation:



The projected stats for the Iggles don't seem too outrageous... but the Cowboys' stats??



Well, let's start with how they have Romo throwing for just 87 yards... never mind that his worst game yardage wise as a starter is 142 yards passing... this year, his worst has been 185 yards passing... he's averaged over 280 yards per game passing this season... they have him throwing no TD passes, even though he's thrown a TD pass in what, 16 straight games?? But yeah, the league's 18th ranked pass defense, giving up 219.5 yards per game, is gonna hold Tony to just 87 yards and no TDs...



Then they have Julius Jones getting 69 yards on 17 carries... never mind that Julius hasn't had that many carries one time this season, never mind that he's averaging less than 11 carries a game... they have the Boys running the ball 31 times, throwing it 29, despite trailing the entire game... for the season, they have averaged 27 rushes, 34 passes per game-- when they were WINNING... how realistic is it to believe they'd suddenly run more than they throw, when they're BEHIND??


They have Oliver Hoyte carrying the ball 7 times, and Hoyte has yet to carry the ball ONCE in a game... they have Terrell Owens catching 3 passes for 32 yards, this from a guy averaging 5.7 catches for 97.7 yards per game... they have Jason Witten, fresh off of catching 15 passes in a single game, catching just 2, for 10 yards... this from a guy averaging 6.2 catches for 73.5 yards per game... perhaps most amusing (or disgusting, depending on your point of view) is the fact that they have Isaiah Stanback catching 2 passes, for 5 yards... Stanback is still looking for his first NFL catch, LOL...


And now, let's pull back and look at the big picture... they have the Iggles holding the Cowboys to 215 total yards, on 60 plays (3.6 yards per play)... thus far this season, the Boys are averaging 389.2 yards per game, 6.4 yards per play... conversely, the Iggles have allowed an average of 317.3 yards per game, 5.2 yards per play... they have the Boys scoring just 6 points, never mind that their lowest point total this year is 24 points, never mind that they're averaging 32.5 points per game, never mind that the Iggles are allowing an average of 17.9 points per game...


How a COMPUTER could look at these numbers and come up with this projection, I'll never know... I just know that this projection, like every Madden game projection I've seen for the Cowboys this season, is beyond RIDICULOUS...
