Simulation vs. Competitive

Which of the two users prefer? Which one is realistic?

Can you notice the difference? Have you seen any hr dugout celebrating? I haven't seen any at all. Maybe they gotta patch it in.

I am just playing exhibition games right now. Is it only for season mode or franchise mode?

I have seen a couple dugout celebrations but they were the same as in 23 where they just give each other fives and hugs and then look in the camera. No props or anything.

Simulation vs. Competitive wouldn’t affect any presentations for celebrations. Simulation has more to do with user ratings playing out. Competitive has more to do with user input. The difference if any is subtle.

I hit a HR with McCutchen in Pittsburgh and he had the sword in the dugout so that one is at least in there.

Re: Simulation vs. Competitive

I was just about to shelve this game and await CFB 25 and I decided to try competitive mode.

I play on HOF hitting (timing) and Legend pitching (pinpoint) and got to the point where I was smashing HRs and winning most of my games, shutting teams down. I tried sliders, moving to Legend hitting, etc.. nothing felt right and it was becoming a chore to find something that felt fair and competitive.

After switching from simulation to competitive, I'm really struggling with the Cardinals pitching staff as pinpoint is harder to get those perfect gestures. The Rockies beat me 2 out of 3 and the Pirates have taken the first 2 out of a 3 game series.

Hitting also seems tougher as I'm not hitting near as many HRs.

So far so good, I'm actually excited to play my franchise again.

Why do these games do this to use settings/sliders wise? UGH LOL..
