EA’s Madden Simulation Predicts Exact Super Bowl Score

EA has been using its Madden franchise to simulate Super Bowls for fun and profit for some time now. So when the time came to plug in 2015’s Super Bowl contenders and let the ones and zeros predict the future, EA did so again. The results, as people say, will shock you.

According to Yahoo! Tech, the simulator picked the final score exactly right. This would be an impressive feat in and of itself, but it gets way deeper. I’ll let Yahoo! explain it. The details are far too bone-chilling for me to type:

… it even foresaw Tom Brady’s fourth-quarter game-winning pass to Julian Edelman.

And that was just the tip of the prognostication iceberg.

Madden predicted New England would score first in the game. It predicted Tom Brady would take home the MVP trophy. It was 27 yards off Brady’s total passing yardage (355 vs. 328) and got his total touchdowns (4). It was only 3 yards and 1 catch away from perfectly calling Julian Edelman’s entire game.

I would like to say — because I know they’re reading this — that I, for one, welcome the coming of our sentient-robot overlords. I’m sure if we behave the way we are instructed, that no harm will come to us or our families. All hail Lord XBOX! So say we all!
