So Dak breaks both of Manning's single season passing records, Robert Woods is the league's 2nd leading receiver (on the same team as the league's #1 leading receiver), Maxx Crosby blows past the sack record that was JUST matched last season, & Mac Jones throws for damn near 5,000 yards...

 

Oh, and the Saints win the Super Bowl... with Jameis Winston?! Please NFL, stop renewing your exclusive license with EA! 🤣

All of your points and the overarching theme of your post are right on....

But I wanted to point out that Robert Woods is no longer on the same team as Cooper Kupp.

Reading into the results, that sim was completely awful though & shows just how awful Madden is at accurate, simulation football... Here are some of the best excerpts:

 

*"Prescott had arguably the greatest regular season of any quarterback in NFL history in the sim, finishing with 5,649 yards, 57 touchdowns and completing 72% of his passes..."

 

*"Cooper Kupp won Offensive Player of the Year after setting the single-season record for receiving yards with 2,114 (600 yards more than the simulation’s second-highest receiver, Robert Woods)..."

 

*"Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby broke Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt’s sack record with 24.5 to win Defensive Player of the Year..."

 

*"Mac Jones — 4,820 yards, 29 TDs, 70% completion percentage"

 

*"Saints defeated the Chiefs, 34-14 to win the franchise’s second Super Bowl title..."

I believe it with dak. They play from behind so much that he's basically throwing to the qb nets they use in practice because they coverage is so soft.
