Skinned Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Didn't know if anyone else has done this, but I am letting the game play out (as is, no changes to the lineups or coaching, etc). I just bought ESPN 2K5 (I know....a lot of people are Madden lovers) and this is what I am using for the simulation. End of 1st Quarter (10 minute quarters - I find that this is close to real for video games). Washington 14 Tampa Bay 3 Brunell 7-10, 87 yds, 2 td B. Johnson 7-14, 85 yds, 1 int Portis 5-15, 1rec-6yds Gardner 3-52 td Coles 3-29 td Mccardell 4-71 (too bad they won't have him ) Jermaine Haley - sack S. Taylor - Int on first defensive play I'll post again at the half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinned Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 In the 2nd quarter, up 14-6, Brunell was flagged for throwing an illegal forward pass because he was beyond the line of scrimmage and Gibbs challenged the call and it was overturned! Man that Gibbs is one smart guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Williams Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 5 minute quarters keep the game in perspective though I haven't tried 15 minutes w/ acc. clock the bucs won 8 of 10..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinned Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 I find with 5 minute quarters you get Brunell throwing about 10-20 passes and Portis getting about 10-15 carries. In other words, not enough plays. Was your simulation also ESPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakofthesouth Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I played that game earlier this week, and the outcome went to the Bucs, 14-10. The problem was, the offense called 3 running plays the ENTIRE game. I think the Madden folks still think this is Spurrier here. That said, Brunell had 3 picks, 2 in the red zone. Killed me! I lost a lot of money...I'm just kidding, that would be pathetic. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinned Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 Well, Tampa has come back to tie the game on a 17-yd pass to Galloway and a 2-pt conversion by Garner. Still 5:30 left in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinned Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 Well, with Brad Johnson absolutely on fire, the Bucs passed us and led 21-14, but Sean Taylor just picked off his 2nd pass and returned it 50 yds for a touchdown tying the game at 21-21. Brunell cooled off considerably from the 1st quarter and Portis has been stuffed. Brunell 8-14, 90 yds, 2 tds, 0 int B. Johnson 17-29, 253 yds, 3 tds, 3 int (that's a whole game right there) Portis 8-15 Garner 8-18 Gardner 3-52 td Coles 3-29 td Mccardell 7-121 D. moore 3-35 td Galloway 4-55 td M. Clayton 2-40 Haley - 2 sacks C. Griffin - sack A. Mcfarland 2 sacks S. taylor - 5 tackles, 2 int Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 You do realize that McCardell isn't playing on Sunday? Cut his 121 yards out of the total. BD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinned Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 Just to conclude, Skins won 31-28. Not the most accurate of games statistically, but a positive result nonetheless. Less than 12 hours to go!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Have y'all tried the gamecast thing on ESPN 2005 for simulating games? I love using that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSkin Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Using a "special" formula I derived using MAdden, the Redskins will be down at half and will win a very close game at the end. Good ol' half time adjustments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 What I do is turn the 'Skins skills all the way up and put the CPU on rookie and turn their skills all the way down. The 'Skins score on almost every play and usually end up scoring well over 200 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaDaBiNgNrT Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Every time on franchise mode, i always lose to the Bucs. I hate starting out 0-1. However, if we play the Bucs close, and say lose by 3 or so, i would be happy because they are a quality team and shows we can compete. Unlike that 35-13 performance last year.
