Madden NFL 24 Adds Franchise Crossplay Live Beta & More - Patch Notes

I think the fatigue adjustment in this patch is having a MAJOR impact on gameplay. And unfortunately not at all for the better. Tested one game so limited sample size but very noticeable imo.

Testing Settings:
-AP all default sliders
-10min quarters no accelerated clock
-Sim gameplay
-HFA and progressive fatigue on but only in week one of season 1
-autosubs default
-4-3 defense so impact on my linebackers may be greater then 3-4 prototype LB’s

What I noticed:
-Any linebacker, cornerback, or safety that is blocked by an offensive linemen suffers immediate loss of fatigue
-Happens whether on a blitz or an offensive linemen makes a secondary level block
-Defensive player breathes very heavy on very next play and leaves game after 2-3 consecutive plays
-Offensive fatigue seems fine. Seeing no difference with offensive fatigue

Impact:
-fatigued defensive player leaves and returns but most eventually permanently leave for remainder of game
-Human run game becomes ridiculously easy as you’re competing against severely fatigued CPU defensive players or back ups.
-Pass game becomes easier as well but much more noticeable with the run game
-Issue impacts human defense as well but it’s much more noticeable in terms of gameplay when playing offense vs the CPU

Possible solutions I’m going to test to mitigate:
-Leave game on SIM and significantly lower fatigue
-Switch franchise from SIM to Comp. Automatic lower fatigue rates on comp

Would love to hear if others are experiencing similar gameplay impacts. I really hope I’m wrong but it was very obvious after one game.

I feel like I’ve been gut punched as I was having a great experience with franchise. Really immersed and enjoying the game. The impact of this patch has so far significantly and immediately altered my experience for the worse. One game test so trying not to overreact, but it was very noticeable to me. Someone please tell me you’re experiencing something different. Something with much less impact pre vs post patch.

My 2nd post patch game
I didn’t lose my DEs, but did see red fatigue a few times and went to “sub dl” package to protect the starters.
I noticed sub LBs appearing frequently.
I didn’t see any sub DBs but saw lots more fatigue.

I didn’t pay attention to the AI D, but will next time.

Not sure how I feel about this part of the update, I will find out later when I play a game. I currently have fatigue at 75 and the way I have my auto subs set up I really love the rotation I get in the game. Seems like I will have to really adjust it now

Re: Madden NFL 24 Patch 7 Available Today

Cross-play is technology which allows users of Madden 24 on PS5, XBOX Series X/S, and PC to play games against each other.

Before today, Madden 24 did not offer cross-play support for Franchise mode. That is no longer the case.

Can we share draft classes between platforms and if not, is that something that could be coming down the road?

Did they fix the 3-4 defense personnel issue? No... no they did not.

Jags, may I ask what you have your subs set at to get the rotations you like at 75 fatigue?

May I also ask what quarter length and runoff you use?

No idea. My PS5 actually isn't hooked up right now because I had to turn my apartment inside-out for stupid reasons lol.

Anyone else here aware if cross-play supports Madden Share? My gut instinct is "no" but again I have no idea.

Hopefully this means crossplay will be available at launch for dynasty mode for the new College Football game this year.

Unfortunately far too late for the league my friends and I usually run every year (besides this one)

I imagine you can, but very indirectly and it would require having someone you know with the game on another platform, or owning the game on a 2nd platform yourself.

For example:

Player A downloads draft class on PS5, Player A starts online CFM, invites player B on other platform, and imports PS5 draft class. Player B takes over as commissioner or otherwise gets the ability to edit draft classes. Player B goes to edit draft class, then saves it locally on their platform.

Re: Madden NFL 24 Adds Franchise Crossplay Live Beta & More - Patch Notes

I’m using Matt10’s All-Pro sliders and with fatigue at 75, I’ve definitely noticed some problems. I’m using the Raiders in my franchise, and you know how Crosby is credited for being a machine and never leaving the field? Well, he’s gone for 90% of drives. He’s there for the first set of downs and just disappears.

Offense is also way too easy now since the defense is constantly subbing out players. I put up 31 pts and 301 yards against a team at the half without even really trying.

Just when I was starting to have some real fun in my franchise, this happens. I guess I sit back and wait for EA to fix this or someone to find a workaround.

Or...use your brain for a second....

here's a hint...

I’m using Matt10’s All-Pro sliders and with fatigue at 75

The answer is beyond obvious...

My guess is you need to drop fatigue [emoji1745]

I'm on PS5 and I checked the shared draft classes, last night. Someone had uploaded Bengal's draft class from XBox, so I guess it is possible.

That's what I intend to test as well. However, offense fatigue wasn't touched. So those players fatigue at the same level they did prior to this last patch. It's the defense that fatigues quickly and at a high rate. So lowering fatigue might slow down the defensive fatigue but I suspect it will create an inbalance of fatigue between the offense and the defense thus giving the offense an advantage.

Switching from SIM to competitive did not work for me. Even on competitive, the defense fatigues dramatically after just one play.
