Yesterday EA SPORTS posted a Madden 15 simulation video before the Lions vs Giants week one Monday Night Football match-up. Mike Tirico even did the play-by-play for it, and the simulation was actually pretty accurate.

The video game had Calvin Johnson catching a 64 yard touchdown pass in the first half. Remarkably, Calvin had a 67 yard touchdown reception in last night's game.

The simulation ultimately had the Lions winning by 17 points with a score of 27-10. In actuality, Detroit won by 21 points with a score of 35-14.

Madden 15 has received excellent reviews so far, after being released on August 26th. Users have been praising the next-gen technology, the new defensive controls, and the overall graphics in this installment of the series.

Is it a coincidence that the Madden simulation was accurate? Or do any of you believe that it's a testament to how realistic the new Madden 15 game is?
