Earlier this week, the official Madden NFL 12 simulation of Super Bowl XLVI took both the underdog and the under for the first time in the past nine years, calling the New York Giants as 27-24 winners over the New England Patriots. A simulation run on dearly departed Madden nemesis NFL 2K5 returned the opposite result.

VLN13 acknowledged the simulation has some problems he canât correct. One is that the teams kick off from the 30 (instead of the 35, a rule implemented this year.) The other is the way in which offensive gameplans have changed dramatically, even in the past eight years. There isnât much of a screen pass game available in NFL 2K5. It also doesnât account for the heavier pass rush encountered today, which places the Giants at an unfair disadvantage.
Still, you dance with who brung ya. In VLN13âs sim, New York scored first after picking off Brady, but New England quickly answered. The Giants surged to a 17-7 lead before Brady lobbed a 48-yard bomb to, of all receivers, Julian Edelman, and go into the half down 17-14. The second half was all Patriots, though, and New England won in a rout that was over by the beginning of the fourth quarter.
