Madden predictions have a knack for playing out on the NFL field in reality.
In fact, EA Sports is 9-3 in predicting the winner of the Super Bowl via its preseason video-game simulation trailers, not only accurately forecasting that the New England Patriots would defeat the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX, but correctly calling the score, 28-24 of the February 1, 2015 game.
That being said, EA Sports just released its Madden 16 NFL cinematic prediction tralier, which has Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers edging the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl 50.
Down five points with time running out in the fourth quarter, Roethlisberger fires up his players for a final, game-winning drive.
"Alright boys, here it is," Roethlisberger starts saying in the team huddle. "We gotta leave it all on the line right here. Forget what the coaches said, forget about everything that's going on outside of this huddle and this play right now. It's all about us, man-on-man, us vs. them. I need everything you got, right here, leave it all on the line, and we're world champions. Greatest feeling of your lives, I promise you that. Let's go get it right here!"
Big Ben then especially gives superstar wide receiver Antonio Brown the heads up that the ball is going in his direction.
"AB listen to me," Roethlisberger adds. "I'm coming to you on this play no matter what! It's do or die! It's all or nothing right now! Make the play for me, brother!"
Roethlisberger snaps the ball and finds Brown, who hauls the pass in on a fade route against star cornerback Patrick Peterson. Touchdown!
Announcer Jim Nantz yells, "Antonio Brown has it!" He adds that "the Steelers are in seventh heaven," referencing the franchise's seventh Super Bowl title.
This trailer will remind fans of the classic NFL Films in the way it plays out. Pur theater. Now, let's see if its prediction comes true.
