    Competitive over Simulation for Franchise

    Wanted to share this with the OS community. It’s something that I’ve been experimenting with for the past few weeks and I’ve seen better gameplay from Madden using this methodology.

    In the front end of the game choose PRO and SIMULATION. In the main menu of the game and in your franchise, choose COMPETITIVE. Difficulty will remain at PRO throughout. I won’t post the sliders I use as they’re not mine and I don’t feel comfortable posting someone else’s sliders that doesn’t frequent these forums (to my knowledge). However, you can catch the sliders on his YouTube channel “CBGaming”. They will be for Madden 23, but work well with any next generation Madden (21-24). He uses the CPU v CPU style of play within franchise mode as do I, so I gravitated to them quite easily.

    Now on to the results that I’ve seen using the above method. When using SIM, the game results would be somewhat lopsided towards one team and the AI would pass more than run. For some reason, while on COMP, the AI has better play calling and the stats aren’t as inflated through an entire game like with SIM. The final game scores are more in tune with real world scores and it just feels better overall IMO. Animations don’t seem as wonky and it looks pretty smooth. I’m thinking since Madden has been geared towards the MUT community for so long that the entire game is coded/programmed towards that mode in particular. Now you won’t see many penalties using COMP, but you never saw many penalties in SIM either. You will see a few here and there, but they’re sporadic at best. I’m just speaking to what I’ve seen during my experience. Someone else may get totally different vibes from this.

    Anyways, thought I’d throw this out there to the forum. Happy Madden season everyone!!

      There are no injuries on competitive though, right?

          I’ve noticed that the CPU will call better plays. At least ones that make more sense for the down/distance while using competitive.

            Injuries do happen. Had two injuries in my last franchise game. Both are 4 weeks in length, torn labrum and pulled groin. This is in M23, but I’m still using the competitive game style.

              I've tried everything to get into a M24 CFM this year, I finally decided to start a CFM on competitive instead of simulation and had a blast in my Week 1 game.

              Broncos (me) beat the Raiders, 29-28. Garoppolo was injured in the 4th quarter and there was also a DPI called late in the game that allowed me to continue a drive to get into FG range to win the game.

                Nice!! [emoji1303] In the front end I choose simulation as my game style. In the main menu, I leave it as simulation. In franchise mode, I change the game style to competitive. This method has worked well for CPU v CPU.

                  Do I have to restart my franchise to change it to competitive?

                    You do not, it is changeable under the franchise settings.

                        Yes, the same as simulation in my experience. Had a nice DPI my last game that extended my drive.

                          I play cpu v cpu. never seen a penalty in competitive mode, which is the only drawback for me.

                            I tried this out for a few games and this is definitely a different game in comparison to sim. Definitely makes the cpu qb play a lot more realistic than just snapping the ball and throwing immediately or holding the ball for a sack. Now I need some sliders for this though.

                              I have moved onto this myself. I was previously on All-Madden sim, but I played All-Pro Competitive last night and it was a better experience overall. I had a defensive holding call, I had my EDGE rushed leave the game with broken ribs. The CPU running game was really good. They went for over 120 on me. I ended up winning 27-21, but the game was much more challenging and fun playing on competitive. Gonna keep it there for now in my franchise.
