Here’s how wrong Madden 22’s Super Bowl prediction was

digitaltrends.com:

Every year, EA runs a simulation of the Super Bowl within its Madden video game series. Sometimes the games can be spot-on, predicting the eventual winner of the real game with a fairly accurate score. Other times, it can be a total bust (remember when it predicted a 30-27 win for the Rams in Super Bowl LII?).

If you’re a Cincinnati Bengals fan, you might be feeling especially mad at Madden 22 this morning. This year, the game predicted the Bengals would win the game 24-21. While that score was almost perfect, it had the wrong team winning. Just how inaccurate was this year’s simulation overall? Let’s go quarter by quarter.

Prediction: “Cincinnati scores first with a Joe Burrow touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase, but the Rams quickly answer with a four-yard run from Sony Michel to tie the game.”

Reality: And the simulation is immediately off to a bad start. The Bengals did not, in fact, start the game with a touchdown. Instead, the Los Angeles Rams were the first to draw blood with a touchdown pass to Odell Beckham Jr. Running back Sony Michel ended up having a weak game overall, only running for two yards across two attempts.
