Neversummer Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I remember they were right down to finalists and to the last game in 2010-11 series. http://www.easports....off-predictions TOP STORIESThe New York Rangers win their fifth Stanley Cup in franchise history and their first since the 1993-94 season, defeating the Chicago Blackhawks in six games.Brad Richards wins the Conn Smythe Trophy, the second of his career.Richards becomes the sixth player in NHL history to win at least two Conn Smythe Trophies joining: Roy (3), Gretzky (2), Lemieux (2), Orr (2), Parent (2) Among the gaffes, Brad Richards as Conn Smythe. Pretty accurate in the West so far (xcept for Canucks), really out to lunch in the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Dude, it's a video game. They don't have a variable for things like ref game management and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bob Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 They only predicted 2 of the first round wrong, and they practically predicted the west bang on. (Unless you're talking games played too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Uh oh. Did they turn the "NHL style officiating" option off? They should know how much that skews the results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butters Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Its a series of dice rolls for entertainment only. It will give a different result each time you run it. No one should read anything into these simulations its just for publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Not too bad since they're working with players stats only, and can't take into account injuries, players slumping, or terrible officiating. At the start of the year I guessed Rangers would win, so I don't blame them for picking the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*VaNcOuVeRCaNuCkS* Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I don't know if the officiating would even matter as NHL 13 officiating engine is horrible as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 They have been off ever since they predicted the Canucks to win the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks.brad Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 how is it that off? they picked montreal instead of ottawa and vancouver instead of sj.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It's a video game where if you sim a season Sidney Crosby will only get 60 points and Buffalo will win the Presidents Trophy. I wouldn't expect them to get things correct outside of sheer luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neversummer Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 1st round 6 for 8 ... not bad. 2nd round 1 for 3 so far (possibly 1 for 4) resulting in none of the teams in the actual Eastern Conference Finals = way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
