EA’s Madden Video Game Simulates A Saints Victory Over The Colts
Over the last six years, EA’s Madden video game series has correctly predicted the winner of the Super Bowl on five occasions. The lone miss was the upset heard ‘round the world when the Giants beat the Patriots in 2007, so that’s understandable.
Madden once again simulated a game and predicted the winner to be….
Saints 35
Colts 31
This is interesting stuff but clearly has no bearing on the game as they’re missing one key component of the game: Dwight Freeney’s injured ankle.
But before Saints fans start celebrating and Colts fans call for a new coach, it’s important to note that the Madden simulation only takes into account the perceived skill levels of each player on the field. Intangibles such as nerves and inexperience are not reflected. And according to this G4 video of the simulation, neither is Dwight Freeney’s questionable ankle, as the Colts’ defensive superstar can clearly be seen running and jumping down the tunnel at the head of his team before the game.
