Why would competitive madden be weird? You do realize that football is, you know, already competitive?
For people who don't feel like reading the article. Deadman mode is pretty much the old school Runescape you played back in 2007 but PVP everywhere, with only a few safe zones across the world. Adds an entirely new dynamic to everything from skilling to questing. When someone kills you in the game, you drop all your items you had on you and they get a key which gives the access to the 12 most expensive items(or item stacks) in your bank which they can freely loot. Every Deadman season goes on for 2-3 months and once it's over the top 2000 people are invited to the Deadman invitational tournament, where they have 5 days to level up, gear up before the finale begins.
During the final hour you can't be in membership only areas as there is a lethal fog, this fog slowly covers the entire game world forcing all the players(who are alive) in to a tiny area where they have to duke it out. Whoever is the final person standing receives $10000. During this invitational the final area was in Barbarian Village and the final area during the last invitational was at the cross-roads just north of Falador.
Regular Deadman mode has 5x XP rates and the invitational has 10x XP rates to make leveling from scratch bearable. There are plenty more interesting, unique mechanics I haven't detailed, but a new Deadman season just started(It started the day after the invitational ended, so like 3 days ago) if you want to give it a shot.
It's a lot of fun just for the nostalgia, if you ever wanted to see what Runescape would be like with world wide PVP and chaos everywhere. It's much better if you have a group of friends or a clan to work together as playing solo can be very rough.

But how can you play with a group of friends if only the last man standing wins? Or is this just for the tournament?

Last man standing is during the final 1 hour of the tournament. But before that is preperation time where people work and cooperate together to gain an edge. Clans like RoT had entire sections of the world on lockdown during this tournament. Also I should mention if you die during the final hour you're out of the tournament and can't log on the Deadman tournament world, so it's not like you have unlimited lives.
Deadman season lasts for 2-3 months > Top 2000 players with highest total levels get to compete in the invitational > Invitational is a fresh world, lasting for 5 days which leads up to a finale > During the finale all 2000 players get to battle it out, whoever is the last man standing receives $10000
