Lol, I would take EA sports prediction over these "sports writers" any day of the week. EA actually has a pretty good track record with their predictions. That said, they are dead wrong about the Canucks this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Only 30 more wins to go! Even less with OT loser points. Hell, we could be done by Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA sports is a Star driven system,...with numbers trying to match what the EA guys think are players attributes but they do it on a Curve. Example a rookie they won't give a player much Speed or other attributes. Also they don't take into account of Hard work vs Floaters. Example Mogilny was a star player but was a Floater at times. So i don't take much stock in EA predictions, a Monkey spinning a wheel with the playoff teams has been even more accurate. Go Canucks Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearditall Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I know it's only 3 games but I've said it all along. With Sedin - Sutter - Horvat as our 1-2-3 punch down the middle & our much improved defence along with our elite goaltending, we are atleast a Playoff Contender before this season started. If our young keep on developing the way they're showing (Hutton, Horvat, Markstrom, Granlund, Baer, Gaunce, Tryamkin, Stecher, Boeser, Demko, Larsson, Gubranson, etc) than we maybe back to cup contenders before we know it...

cleowin Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hello, the magic number thread will return this upcoming weekend, i see that people are missing out. Last season had virtually no interest, so I wasnt going to continue it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strombone Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It's just a computer simulation... It doesn't factor in many other variables like real emotions, unforeseen circumstances, etc. EA couldn't predict Etem's childbirth affecting his training camp. Plus they don't include any NCAA players who are NHL draft picks/prospects. There so many holes with EA, they seem to always take a step forward, only to take 2 steps back the following season. It's really a business strategy... Quality won't be addressed as long as they're making still their hundred millions. But, they were only 1 game off when they predicted we would win the Cup in 2011... Hit or miss folks. But don't depend on a damn computer simulation to reference the season. We know as a fan base that our team is better, but maybe this relief of pressure is exactly what this team needs. Despite having two future hall of famers who are still very much productive, better structured defense, and solid goaltending, these so-called experts still think we're going to bottom out.

Had they advised me or countless other Cdc members, they wouldn't look like absolute idiots. Seriously that one really grinded my gears... I know guys that work on these games are probably full on nerds and don't know anything about hockey, but to miss grade your hometown team... That's pathetic and just shows these guys have 0 hockey knowledge. Definitely won't be buying their garbage game this year Actually, I'd love to see an EA Vancouver Canucks team built with your input. All the players would be wearing red capes, the Sedins would be scoring by telekinesis, Tanev's slapper could break the sound barrier, and Hansen would zipping around like he's being chased by Wile E. Coyote. I'd play that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
