The funny thing about Madden games is how they adjust stats mid-season. Common sense tells me if a team is 2-10 and another team is 4-8, the 4-8 team is probably just a wee bit better. Nope, not with these stat adjustters. When I sat down to simulate the game I got a notice that things were getting updated.
"Great!" I said. "This game needs an update."
Of course once I reshuffled everything in the rosters and got everything ready for the simulation, I noticed this (check the lower left/right corners of the team's boxes):

Wonderful.
