In its annual tradition, EA Sports has simulated the Super Bowl game using Madden 08. From what I recall, Madden has correctly picked the Super Bowl winner for the last five years. In this year’s edition, the Patriots end up victorious, beating the Giants 38-30.
From the box score:
Passing
- Eli Manning, 27/38 for 226, 1 TD, 1 INT
- Tom Brady, 29/40 for 277, 3 TD, 1 INT
Rushing
- Brandon Jacobs, 23 for 68, 1 TD
- Ahmad Bradshaw, 6 for 39, 1 TD
- Lawrence Maroney, 28 for 86, 2 TD
- Kevin Faulk, 11 for 63
Receiving
- Plaxico Burress, 7 for 71
- Steve Smith, 6 for 58, 1 TD
- Amani Toomer,4 for 45
- David Tyree, 5 for 21
- Kevin Boss, 4 for 19
- Adam Bradshaw, 1 for 12
- Randy Moss, 6 for 75, 1 TD
- W.Welker, 9 for 68, 1 TD
- Donte Stallworth, 4 for 44, 1 TD
- Jabar Gaffney, 3 for 30
- Lawrence Maroney, 2 for 23
- Ben Watson, 3 for 22
- Heath Evans, 2 for 15
Kicking
- Lawrence Tynes, 3/4 fg, 3/3 xp
- Stephen Gostkowski, 1/1 fg, 5/5 xp
Final score: Patriots 38 – Giants 30.
Also, EA posted a video of the highlights of the game, but don’t bother with it. It has no music and will most likely put you to sleep.
