The 42nd Annual Madden Superbowl Simulation: PATRIOTS 13, AMERICA'S TEAM 3

In what should be a tradition in every PS2/xbox/wii household, I simulated the Super Bowl this morning. (Espn.com has been doing this the last few years for every game, but I go back to the last Pitt/Dallas superbowl, so screw them.) Some notes about the game:

-5 minute quarters (I tried 8 minute quarters yesterday and the game ended up 54-44 with 5 minutes still to go; including 3 consecutive Wes Welker kickoff returns for touchdowns.)

-I started the game out on All Madden but promptly switched to All-Pro after the first four drives of the game ended with interceptions.

-Neither team had much offense: Eli Manning was 5-21, 78 yards, 3 ints, 0 tds. ( A solid 3.0 QB rating. Go Eli!) Brady was a solid 10-26, 109 yards, 1 td, 2 ints. Maroney was the only offensive player who showed up, 16 caries, 75 yards, and a 4 yard rec td. Maroney should've been the mvp of the game, but Madden gave it to Ellis Hobbs, who had an int and not much else.

And with this Madden analysis, the game has officially been scrutinized from every possible angle. Game on!
