I won't touch the Competitive setting but if you wanted to play your CFM on it and have injuries, you should be able to do that. It wouldn't have to affect the H2H Competitive setting at all. Just like if I there was an option to play H2H on simulation I'd be fine with injuries being off in that situation because they're just one-off games.

You make some reasonable points but those who are attacking Clint are going about it the wrong way. And the competitive gamers are the loudest on Twitter from what I can see, very little CFM representation out there is how it appears at least.

Totally agree. Twitter really is a cesspool in that regard.

But I also think judging by seeing some of Clint's tweets I'm not sure he understands the reasoning either. Someone asked him why competitive couldn't have injuries and he replied with "why not play sim if you want a sim experience." But I get why people are complaining and agree the way people go about it always needs to be better.

I don't know how these separation of settings is going to turn out but just judging on how things have been prior to release I think it could divide the community in a huge way. Before people just identified as sim, competitive, etc. and now you've got a ton of people realizing they maybe aren't as sim as they thought and in that grey area where they want the best of both worlds and then on each side you've got the hardcore sim and hardcore competitive guys so you've got all these different people trying to pull the game in different directions, it could get really crazy.

Well at least so far people aren't trying to have sim style changed. If some competitive peeps want to argue for toggles to try and create some hybridized sim/competitive setting, then whatever, as long as the implementation and tuning of sim style remains centered on ratings based gameplay and continuing to add more NFL authenticity as they're able to.

This I don't get how things are tuned should have any effect on other options in the game. If I want to play sim with injuries off on slow game speed with no on field icons why can't I?

Lol. Yeah, I think they went a little too far with what comes with each mode. To be fair, I think they were going on a lot of data and I'll bet they really thought that comp mode tourney players don't want injuries, so we'll attach that to comp mode.

They're going to receive a lot of new information once the game drops. Perhaps, they'll find that injuries should always be an option and/or tweak some other options as more people comment on certain aspects.

Nurfing INTs to make the total number of INTs reflect the proper number in the NFL is the wrong solution.

Make INTs happen on passes that should be INT. Player will be incentivised not to make risky throws. This will make the game play more sim overall.

I will offer a counter argument. With the threat of INTs too high, people far too often get into 'checkdown mode' instead of targeting primary receivers. With shorter passes you start getting the complaining about accuracy being too high. Then people react by lowering the QBA sliders and all of a sudden, they wonder why the game is 'broken'.

If the game is properly tuned at default settings, then this is a huge win for all of us.
