Re: Madden NFL 24 Closed Beta is Back Online Until July 17

Okay, I MIGHT be on to something that will make the game play the way that to ME replicates what I see on Sundays.

I played till halftime (gotta get that wife time in...lol) against the Bucs, and at the half Pittsburgh (me...duh...lol) grabbed the lead 14-10 on a Jaylon Warren TD run.

My defense finally played better as well even grabbing an int to stall a Buc drive, the TD my defense gave up was to an early 80+ yard run from Rachaad White in the first Q...after that first run though my defense kept him contained the rest of the half.

Baker played like Baker....lol he did hit some good throws, but I was able to keep him on the run most of the first half which led to several off target throws.

Overall, the game showed SOME promise, but I'm not completely happy yet..but I'm a lot closer than I was earlier.

You still have it?

From my understanding the codes that folks got again are the same ones we originally got, so therefore you can't give them to anybody as they've already been used.

I had received a code again, but when I tried to give it to somebody here it didn't work.

Ok that makes sense as I tried giving mine away but the person it was already used

As it stands, very much prefer the pass rush in M23 over the M24 beta. Hopefully, they've already improved that aspect or plan to improve it later. For me, it's probably the only stain on the otherwise impressive gameplay in the beta.

Re: Madden NFL 24 Closed Beta is Back Online Until July 17

So I think the run defense AI read and and react upgrade is a bandaid fix to the OP running on offense. I can definitely notice it on All Madden. From the games I've played any outside run seems to work amazing the 1st time. Pitches, tosses, outside zone run etc... Seems to result in big gains the first time I run them out of each formation. Reading over the gameplay blog it specifically mentions that the AI will learn your run plays after the 1st time it was run. So this leads to to outside zone running plays out of I form will work each time the 1st time when running it out of different variations of the same formation. You can definitely tell that the AI will shut it down after the 1st time it was run because I think they use the guess play function or maybe get a big ratings boost.

That's what I've noticed. Has anyone else noticed the same thing?

Re: Madden NFL 24 Closed Beta is Back Online Until July 17

I did notice I threw the ball on a WR fade twice in a row and the 3rd time the WR was double teamed.
Also seeing less inaccurate passes and less drops.
Game is playing better imo other than those two things

I'm loving the improved post-catch physicality I'm seeing from the wideouts. Good stuff!

Wish we could show video clips, but rules are rules.

Being bored last year I did this & decided to do the same for M24 Beta just to see what it would look like.

Editing just “1” rating that drastically impacts Player Movement, thus gameplay.

If you haven’t caught on yet, SPD rating is more of an “animation impact” rating than anything else.

Because we don’t have the Game Speed Slider anymore, players still moved a little too fast for my liking, even to the detriment of allowing other animations the opportunity to trigger.

Two things that exist in M24 that does not in M23 is…

1) New Ball Carrier pathfinding
2) The tangible on-field impact of Acceleration & COD ratings


What I did was cap (edit) the SPD rating to “80” with the floor being “40”.
a) so the range is 40-50-60-70-80
40 = really fat OL/DT’s (320lb +), Kickers
50 = OL/DL, Punters
60 = lighter DE’s, LB’s, TE’s, immobile QB’s, big backs
70 = QB, RB, WR, fast LB’s, DB’s
80 = ***reserved for those select Explosive &/or Game Changer players (not meant to represent the fastest player)

Some noticeable things…
1) never thought I would see LeVeon Bell Running Style in Madden with that hesi-jump maneuvering by an AI RB, esp if their ACC rating is high with the new Pathfinding logic

2) way more animations triggering on both sides of the ball

3) ***runs outside rarely allow turning the corner
- big runs typically maneuver through the line with broken tackles

4) TE’s are no longer OP against coverage by LB/Safeties, esp those out/corner routes

5) there’s only maybe at most 5-7yrd burst before leading into an visible “effort” sprinting animation
- the constant sprint boost is gone

6) ***players with “80” SPD will require game planing around, but not in an cheating/OP way, they just stand out during gameplay


I edited the 49’ers & Dolphins

49’ers with “80” SPD
- McCaffrey, Deebo (a problem when they touch the ball)
- Warner is a beast in both run/pass defense

Dolphins with “80” SPD
- Hill, Waddle(AI forced me out of MCV into ZCV because 49’ers secondary is cheeks in MCV)
- Ramsey, Howard (AI lined Ramsey on Deebo 95% of snaps, had 4 catches/78 yrds - cool to see that logic)


I played on Default Pro, AP & AM but went back to Pro because I just like how the players/game plays there.


This provides a more granular control I believe several of you will like.
- do one team and see if it’s your cup of tea

"If you haven’t caught on yet, SPD rating is more of an “animation” rating than anything else."

This goes all the way back to the days of NCAA 14. Speed ratings within 50-80 produced the best looking, natural run animations. Anything lower than 50 produced that ugly big man run animation and anything over 80 had the "two for one" run stride animation. I always capped the SPD rating between 50-80, so this is right up my alley. Will try when I get home this evening.

Did you do these edits during the first run of the beta or can you edit players in the current beta? I thought that was locked out. Maybe I am wrong as I am not able to check that currently at work.

If you go into the settings on the main menu and make a change, like to your favorite team for example, and then back out, the NFL shield will pop up and you'll be able to go in and edit rosters.

Re: Madden NFL 24 Closed Beta is Back Online Until July 17

Gameplay Flaws

CPU passing

QBs are now too accurate and receivers don't drop passes anymore after getting hit. What happened to the realism from the 1st beta.



I have lower rated QBs playing like Mahomes and Allen.

Lower rated WRs playing like Justin Jefferson



User Running

It's still too easy for outside runs and runs out of the shotgun formation.

CPU defense needs to do a better job at containing the edge and block shedding.

Something cool...these were basically the ratings for players in All Pro Football 2k8 out of the box. I was blown away when I saw this in the editors by KingJavo and Flying Finn. The thing that separated and distinguished the players was the tiers (bronze, silver, and gold) and the abilities. Visual Concepts was really on to something!

Why is Robo QB back on All Madden smh haven't seen a inaccurate throw yet

Was playing against the Raiders and saw Jimmy G miss an out by about one foot near the sideline. Saw an over throw as well, and an underthrow on a deep ball which I intercepted.
