How do you handle training in solo franchises?

How do you handle training when playing franchise solo vs the CPU? I know the CPU doesn’t just get bronze every week anymore, they get a random mix of gold, silver, and bronze. In previous Madden’s I would always go for gold but then noticed I was progressing at a much faster rate than the CPU teams overall. I’ve since went to simming a bronze medal every time but 5 seasons in to my longest running franchise and I don’t feel like my players are progressing fast enough. I kind of want to go back to getting golds every time but was curious if anyone does this and what the landscape of their franchise looked 5 or 6 seasons in.

Doing golds every time gets you wayyyyy ahead of the CPU. I haven't tested it with silvers every time though. Since gold is too much and bronze is too little I'm curious how silvers would work out.

I just set it to auto in options. So I guess it sims all to bronze by default.

If you set it to random that will just randomly select which training you do, the medal is determined by the highest medal you’ve earned in that training. So if you’ve never played any of the trainings then it will always be simming bronze medals.

Sim to bronze each time. I did at one point use a wheel-spin/dice roll method to determine what I would get for a given week and then play it out to that medal but that became too tedious. Your players definitely progress slower but at the same time the user has potential for breakout scenarios and if you're a coach, a huge amount of XP through scenarios that the CPU doesn't have access to so it evens things out.

I don’t know why I didn’t include this as part of the poll, I should have but it totally slipped my mind. Doing all silver medals seems like it would be a pretty good way of doing it. I wonder if someone on these forums has experience going deeper in to a franchise getting all silver medals that can weigh in on what the landscape of the league looks like several years in.

Sim to bronze to have even playing field.
