Madden 24 Sim: Cleveland Browns Vs Houston Texans

Been a while since I uploaded...I recently got back into Football so I've decided to have Madden 24 sim the 2023-24 NFL playoffs to see what'd be different.

In this video: the 5 seed Cleveland Browns, led by ELITE QB Joe Flacco, travel to Houston to take on the 4 seed Houston Texans, led by rookie QB C.J. Stroud. This is the first time these two teams have met in the postseason. However, the Cleveland Browns did defeat the Houston Texans by a 36-22 margin in week 16, although C.J. Stroud did not start due to injury. Additionally, the Cleveland Browns starting QB, Deshaun Watson, formerly started for the Houston Texans, but suffered a season ending injury in week 10. This matchup provides a chance for the Houston Texans to avenge their loss with their starter under center as they seek to advance in the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-2020 playoffs. The Cleveland Browns also make their first postseason debut since the 2020-2021 playoffs.

I do apologize for the lack of editing (not that I ever really edit my videos anyway), but I'm low on storage space and I currently can't install a video editor so I just want to get the footage uploaded and off my computer. Also...there's a slight bit of lag since I had the game run on 120 fps and I recorded at 60 fps. It's not terrible but it's not ideal. I've fixed it for future sims so it'll be fine going forward.

Also...just bare in mind this is a madden sim. As such, some liberties were taken by me (and ultimately the game too). So not everything is going to line up 100%. Also, I altered the settings in an attempt to get the most realistic score possible, hence why the quarters are 12 minutes instead of 15 minutes.

I did take screenshots of the offensive stats. It's a little too much to type it all out so I'll just give the highlights here.
