The company accurately predicted the final score for the 2015 game and other details, including a score of 24–14 in favor of Seattle in the third quarter, despite skepticism within EA that Seattle would lose after a double-digit lead.

The game simulations conducted by EA have correctly predicted ten of the last 14 Super Bowl winners. Previously NFL players in Madden would only progress or regress at the end of each season. Lastly, 2005 also saw the introduction of multiple progressions during franchise mode. Also added was the Newspaper where the player could look at National News from licensed USA Today and Licensed Local papers for almost each of the 32 NFL teams. Some fans have criticized for not including new features to the 'programming' as the radio became stale after only two seasons in franchise mode, but the feature drew acclaim for adding content to the Franchise menu. It included mock interviews of famous NFL players and coaches throughout the in-game season. It features as the host, who often interviews players and coaches about how the season is going and also has quiz questions in which fake listeners call in to make attempts at answering football-related questions. 2005 also added 'EA Sports Radio', a fictional show that plays during the menu screen of Franchise mode to provide a greater sense of a storyline during gameplay.
