In 2017-18, they had the Lightning beating the Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final.
2017-18 NHL® SEASON SIM - NHL® 18

The year before that, they had Nashville defeating Montreal in the Cup Final.
NHL®17 | 2016-17 Season Simulation

In 2016, they had the Ducks beating the Canadiens.
NHL 16 Season Sim

2015, the sim had the Ducks beating the Rangers.
2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs Sim

So there ya go, the EA Sports simulations suck.

Remember, those fools don't even bother to update player ratings. I'm sure Corey Perry is still rated in the high 80s, along with Ryan Kesler.

They had a decent run for a while, see the table below where the bolded teams were predicted to make the SCF and ended up doing so (the top tabs for EA Sports and Reality got misplaced, but you can see the left Winner/Loser columns are for EA sports and the right Winner/Loser columns are for reality).

TIL that if I'm a Leafs fan I can't comment in any threads whether they are made by Leafs fans or not.

Not trying to defemd EA here, but taking a screenshot of a picture of game doesn't really represent the actual graphics.

But yeah, they could really use a new engine nowadays.

I'm very skeptical about these results. I don't know how a game that has incredibly inaccurate information on players, that can't build realistic lineups, or simulate realistic trades, somehow still manages to end up with the results they claim. Especially when my personal experience is consistent wonky results.
