It’s August, so you know what that means — it’s time for Yahoo Sports’ annual "Madden" simulation. This is the seventh year in a row we are running an entire season through EA Sports’ popular football simulation video game, which was released this week.
Last year, Charles McDonald and Anthony Sulla-Heffinger’s simulated seasons produced a mixed bag of results. Madden accurately predicted a strong rookie season from Texans QB C.J. Stroud and that the Chiefs would win the Super Bowl, but also 16-1 and 14-3 seasons from the Cowboys and Broncos, respectively.
