Madden 23 sliders give players the ability to tweak much of the gameplay to strike the right balance.
With a lot of gameplay changes this year, here are the Madden 23 sliders and settings we have in mind so far for a more realistic experience.
Madden 23 Sliders: Adjust Settings
With the addition of the new FieldSENSE gameplay engine in Madden 23 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, there are some big changes.
However, most Madden 23 sliders and settings should apply to both versions of the game.
We’re still fine-tuning these suggestions based on our own experience in Madden 23, but they’ll give players a good starting point if they find the default options aren’t working as hoped.
Keep in mind that much of this can depend on personal preference, so feel free to make your own adjustments if a specific aspect doesn’t feel right to you.

In addition to making decisions about primary game options like difficulty, you’ll want to use the in-game tutorials to see how the three battle schemes feel.
Classic will offer you the same passing system as previous years, and it will be the only one in the current generation versions of the game.
Placement allows for more control and placement with an emphasis on fit strength, but Placement and Accuracy provides the most control over both strength and accuracy.
Skill Based Passing assists and gameplay helpers depend entirely on player preference whether you want that extra feedback.
We’ve got more information about using Skill Based Passing here if you’re having trouble deciding what’s right for you.
Game options for a realistic NFL experience
If you don’t want to use the condensed gameplay style that Madden 23 uses by default, you need to make some quick changes right away.
Use the following clock management settings in Game Options:
- Quarter length: 10 minutes
- Play clock: on
- Accelerated Clock: Out
- Minimum playback time: 20 seconds
Most of the other settings in Game Options have more to do with personal preference than realism, but you’ll find three Player Sliders at the bottom.
Injuries, Fatigue and Player Speed Parity Scale can all be adjusted to your liking, but we recommend leaving them at the default values at first.
Realistic Penalty Sliders
While you can always eliminate penalties just for fun, a realistic experience requires a more disciplined approach.
Use the following Sanctions sliders:
- Offside: 80
- False start: 60
- Hold Offensively: 70
- Face Mask: 40
- Illegal block in the back: 70
- To prepare the compass: 40
- Defensive Pass Interference: 60
Below these sliders, there are several penalties with on/off settings, and you’ll want to leave them all “ON” for realism.
Sliders for player and CPU gameplay
The biggest area where you can customize how Madden 23 feels on a larger scale is through the Madden 23 sliders for Player Skill and CPU Skill.
It’s important to note that many of these adjustments take into account Madden’s pre-FieldSENSE era and are still being refined with this year’s changes in mind.
However, these tweaks should still give you a good default template of Madden 23 sliders, as you’ll find the balance that’s right for you.
Here are the Madden 23 sliders we recommend for Player Skill:
- QB Accuracy: 35
- Block pass: 15
- WR catch: 55
- Block execution: 40
- fumbles: 77
- Response time: 70
- interceptions: 15
- Customize Coverage: 60
- tackle: 55
- FG Power: 30
- FG Accuracy: 25
- Point Power: 50
- Point Accuracy: 40
- Kick-off force: 30
Next, here are the Madden 23 sliders we recommend for CPU proficiency:
- QB Accuracy: 10
- Block pass: 35
- WR catch: 45
- Block execution: 70
- fumbles: 65
- Response time: 70
- interceptions: 60
- Customize Coverage: 60
- tackle: 55
- FG power: 50
- FG Accuracy: 35
- Point Power: 50
- Point Accuracy: 70
- Kick-off force: 30
If these aren’t right for you, we suggest you either revert to the defaults or fine-tune them by tweaking one or two at a time before trying a bit of gameplay to see if those changes feel better.
Franchise Mode League Settings and XP Sliders
Finally, we have Franchise Mode with its own settings for each storage and independent sliders.
While many of the league settings depend on personal preference and how much control you want in your franchise mode, there are a few starting options we suggest.
First, XP sliders allow you to adjust the rate at which XP is earned for a specific position (if you think it’s earned too fast or too slow), but we recommend leaving it at the default settings.
If you want to speed up or slow down the Staff Points process, you can adjust the amount needed to purchase talents under Staff Talent Cost Modifier in League Settings.
We recommend the following Madden 23 Franchise Mode settings when you first start rolling:
- Skill Level: All professional
- Game style: Simulation
- Type of competition: All
- Direct starter: Out
- Trade Deadline: on
- Trade Type: Turn everything on
- To dismiss coach: on
- Salary limit: on
- Move settings: Anyone (can move)
- Injury: on
- Pre-existing injury: Out
- Steal Practice Squad: on
- Career Clock: on
- Progressive fatigue: on
- Practice Injury: on
- Quarter length: 10 minutes
- Accelerated Clock: Out
- Minimum playing time: 20 seconds
Anything not mentioned above, such as Dev Trait Management or Rooster Protection settings, we recommend leaving at their defaults to get started.
With so many major gameplay changes this year, it can take a while to find the right mix for you and your skills, but don’t be afraid to change things up or revert to defaults if what you’re using isn’t right.
