In the last 12 Super Bowl championships, EA has used Madden NFL to guess via simulation which team would win the Super Bowl XLIX. In nine of the last 12 occassions, the game has chosen the victorious team, but not always the right score. Today was different.
The earlier prediction by the ofiicial simulation of Super Bowl in Madden NFL ’15 matched the winning team and score of the actual football game.

The one-time official simulation, with the settings on veteran difficulty, did not exactly guess how Super Bowl XLIX ended, but was enough to guess the score correctly. If you missed the prediction, you can see it here.
