Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

[DaBlackGoku]

These are some terrible stats. Manning only throws 13 touchdowns in 16 games? Aaron Rodgers throws 18 interceptions? Seriously? And there's only two 4000 yard passers and neither of them throws over 4500 yards? Come on now, these are some insanely broken passing stats that need to be fixed ASAP.

Come on Madden, I'm usually not one to complain but this is ridiculous.

Those are some of the best defenses in the NFL. A lot different than last year when they had the 7th easiest.

A much tougher schedule didn't stop him from leading the league in yards though? There's no excuse for a QB as good as Peyton to throw 13 TDs in a season.

EDIT: he lost Decker but added Emmanuel Sanders and Cody Latimer. Wes Welker has missed 6 games in 9 years, not at all injury prone.

Sheba your grabbing for some huge straws..you appear to know football well enough to know that WR does not make the QB..but the QB makes the WR...I do agree it's one season and more testing is needed..but can't spin the stats shown..4k passing 13 TD 11INT is OFF....

Dude, really???? You might as well be saying every receiver got tackled at the one yard line and they settled for field goals. That would make more sense.

SD and KC gave up the 4th and 7th most yards passing per game. SD allowed QBs to complete over 66% of their passes against them.

I'll give you SEA and SF are really tough but the rest were essentially middle of the pack or terrible (SD).

With all the simulating that was apparently done (according to Looman) it blows my mind that they did not see this as an issue and address it. Just blows my mind.

This is worse than years past, and very nearly a CFM killer.

If these results really represent what the sim engine does, then it's just unbelievable that the developers could have looked at this and said, "Good to go!"

absolutely ridiculous. How does this make it by testing?
