canuck cole Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah, well EA and Bioware thought that Mass Effect ending would be great too, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.luongo01 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 they also predicted we would win last year. and we all know how that turned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rypper-37 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Why sim the game when you can play to make it 82-0 for the season? 16-0 for the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedinaliens2233 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 What a stupid post. The final playoff positioning isn't even set yet. No way EA makes their simulation yet. The fact that there is no link proves that the OP is full of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosterdog Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Maybe we should get something more accurate to make the predictions...like an octopus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butters Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 They got lucky last year. If you are going to judge their accuracy you have to do it over multiple years - eg what has their record been like in the last 10 years. Its more meant for publicity than anything. If you believe in these things, than you are essentially trusting people who really are just giving their best guess on simulations to write the code that basically just applies an arbitrary formula to a bunch of players that have been reduced to 10-20 numbers. Also, there are random numbers involved, and you will get different results if you run the simulation multiple times. So, its kinda arbitrary.

Dotcommi Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 OH YA!?...well Konami's Blades of Steel says Vancouver will beat NY in tournament play to win... "the Cup". Oh wait that was 1988. NVM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edler Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Awesome, finally EA Sports can be proven wrong ever since Nhl 09 the game is getting crapier and crapier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck or Die Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I started my own playoff sims, and you tell me if this game is broken or not: 1) Los Angeles finishing as the 8th seed and upsetting the 1st seed Blues 2) Game 7 of the 2nd round goes to Ot even though I'm out shooting La 53-18 3) Henrik Sedin goes bar down for the Ot/series winner 4) Nashville makes it to the 3rd round 5) This is probably the strangest one: Canucks-Panthers SCF EA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyacry Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 so everyone is saying how wrong the outcome is...think about it...if the refs helps PHX. It's not too impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22Sedinery33 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Lol these game simulations are a joke, to many factors to consider to make an accurate predication... Very confident with our boys this year and can't be more excited for the playoffs just around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCKS4CUP 28 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Lol your name is ironic. Lucky for everyone here, you are not a hockey expert, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I've yet to see a link, but if it's true, I will have nightmares tonight. In this simulation, how do Nucks go from conference finals, to 1st round exit? The only thing I can think of is bad trades. People keep saying that because they didn't get the correct SCF winner last year, that they are an invalid source. Um, keep telling yourselves that. They predicted all of the winners/matchups last playoffs except cup champ and winner of SJS/Det series. That's as accurate as it gets for a simulation. They also predicted the right SCF winners in 2010 and 2009. How the GOAT can a 1st round exit be possible?!? I'm just going to breathe into a brown paper bag now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppleJack Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The news suggested that they would be re-doing the simulation after the playoff matches have been established, so what I want to know is why did they do it early to begin with. It seems rather silly to do something like this when they don't even know what the match ups will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
