Best Realistic Sliders for Madden 24

Moving away from the default

With every entry that comes and goes every year for EA sports games, the veterans out there have seen it all. From bugs of their men flying all over the field, to the stiff arm that turn the game into a boxing match, the game is not particularly known for its realism but it can be. Where realism lies however is not in the default settings of the game but rather what players get up to inside the settings itself through experimentation on the pitch. Already, realism sliders have been located for Madden 24 for those looking to feel like a pro player on the field like they deserve. But setting these up for gameplay perfection is a tough thing to do when you do not know where to start. Therefore, this is Vincent’s guide on the best realistic sliders to use in Madden 24.

Best Sliders to Use for Realism in Madden 24

Realism is something that many players look forward to when the next Madden entry comes out. For many, this is what makes or breaks the game. Holding that controller for years after years and making those crucial plays, there comes a point where you need something more from the default settings. For those new to the franchise, you may wish to use settings that resemble that of an arcade game, but the hardcore vets know exactly what they need. The best realistic sliders are outlined below. We highly recommend trying these out and making any further adjustments you see appropriate, such as the difficulty, injury and time settings. Whilst these represent the most realistic in-game settings, these should be adjusted based on how much you play Madden and how often you are on the Franchise Mode.
