We're over half way done now! Here are the season 6 predictions that MSR and Twayne had.
Thank you to the 28 people that voted (27 msr users + Twyane). (# in () is how many votes they got).
Super Bowl Winner:
Super Bowl Loser:
Looks like there's little faith in a repeat champ but there is faith in the Broncos getting back to the Super Bowl, just not winning. Per the total Super Bowl votes, it appears MSR predicts a Broncos vs Eagles Super Bowl with the Eagles coming out on top.
Highest Scoring Team:
No clear favorite for highest scoring team but it does appear people heavily favor teams that throw a lot.
Least Points Allowed:
While the Eagles are the Super Bowl favorite, it appears it is largely due to their perceived defensive dominance.
NFC Playoff Teams:
Tie breaker for the final spot between the Cowboys and Saints. Otherwise a pretty consensus field. No love for last year's playoff surprise in the 49ers it seems.
AFC Playoff Teams:
No major changes in the AFC except for the Bengals possiby getting back to the playoffs.
How did MSR do? What did they get right? What about wrong? Comment below!
Giveaway Opportunity:
For the last question of the survey, everyone got a different question sent to them. I am going to list out the questions and answers of everyone. The goal will be to guess who answered each question. If you get at least 90% right (24 in this case), you will receive either an MSR Tshirt or alternate prize (tiebreaker goes to whoever has the most). If you get all 100% of them right, you will receive an MSR hoodie.
Without further ado, here they are:
1. If you could remove 1 rule from MSR, what would it be?
"I wouldn't remove any rules because they are good for a sim league."
2. What is your favorite defensive play to user in MSR?
"Cover 3 buzz press becaues its one of the only plays that doesn't immediately look like cover 3 without any adjustmets"
3. What is your favorite part about MSR?
"The supplemental draft and the content in general"
4. Who is your favorite showdown commentator?
"Timbo because he gets hyped"
5. If you could remove 1 rule in MSR, what would it be?
"No corners to safety, cuz I aint got no safeties"
6. Would you rather have all 99 OVRs on Offense or Defense?
Defense because the user has more control on offense.
7. Would you rather never be able to punt or kick field goals/extra points?
"I will take away field goals and extra points. Survival of the fittest, only those that can score touchdowns will win."
8. What do you think is the best Offensive ability in the game?
"Escape Artist. It makes it so easy to avoid pressure."
9. If you could only use 1 Offensive Formation all game in MSR, what would it be?
"Gun Wing. Has plenty of runs, QB runs, read options and is dual TE."
10. If you could only use 1 Defensive Formation all game in MSR, what would it be?
"Nickel. It's base enough to be able to play against the run and versatile enought to play against the pass (as long as you have at least 1 LB that can cover by themselves)."
11. Who do you least want to see win in this season's MSR Super Bowl?
"Anyone but the Texans."
12. Would you rather only be able to use a Cover 0 blitz or Cover 6 all game?
"Cover 6. My DBs not good enough so I'll rather play them in coverage."
13. Who is your favorite user to play in MSR?
"Timbo. The most sim/realistic gameplay you'll ever get."
14. Super Bowl on the line, 1 second left at the 1 yard line down 3: Go for the TD and win or FG and Tie?
"Go for the gusto (TD). Go for the win in the big game, never know if you'll be there again."
15. Who do you most want to see win an MSR Super Bowl (other than yourself)?
"Dub because he's been close and because he's my dude."
16. Would you rather only run or only pass?
"I'd rather run only because I wanna maintain possession and play it safe."
17. Would you rather win 2 Super Bowls or 1 Perfect season in MSR?
"2 Super Bowls. More is better."
18. Would you rather only be able to use Hail Mary Trio or FB Dive?
"Hail Mary Trio because why not."
19. What do you think is the best Defensive ability in the game?
"Inside stuff. Makes the offense change their play calling or account for that player."
20. The 1 user you really want to be in a division with next cycle is who?
"Muk so I can beat his ass 2x a season plus we played in the same leagues last madden."
21. Would you rather have the 1st pick in team selection or in the draft every year of the cycle?
"Draft. Team doesn't matter too much to me. Would rather have the young talent every season."
22. If you could add 1 rule to MSR, what would it be?
"Teams must stick to a defensive scheme and play players accordingly to the archetype of the scheme."
23. Who is your least favorite person to play in MSR?
"No1. The reliance on the run-game and the fact that it works no matter what."
24. What is your least favorite Defensive coverage to call?
"Cover 2 because of the middle gap."
25. What is your favorite Offensive play to use?
"Stretch play. Can get to the outside or cut back in if the defender over pursues."
26. If you could have a 99 OVR at any position, which would you choose?
"WR. Most impactful outside of QB."
27. What is your favorite part about Showdown?
"Being a viewer. That way I can focus on watching it and not playing in it."
Those are the 27 questions and answers. DM me your list in order of who you think answered each question. Must get at least 24 right to be eligible to win. If no one is remotely close, I may find an alternative way of picking a winner based on who had the most choices correct but if people are close but no one gets 24, we shall try again next season.
These are the teams that DID NOT participate:
Bengals
Chargers
Saints
Steelers
Vikings
