Madden NFL 25 Patch Adds Revamped Passing and More - Pass Coverage Improvements Coming in Future Update

Re: Patch this morning.

I don't think EA will change the way they have done roster updates right up until the weeks starts.

Re: Patch this morning.

How do you know if your game has been updated with the new patch? I am on a PS5.

Re: Patch this morning.

I can confirm the halftime stats are fixed.

The stats are still incorrect under the ticker. It's showing the stats for the wrong game.

Ok….hopefully next update they hit the ticker and fix it.

Unfortunately, they did nothing to tune the rating issues, notable for QB's. You can still dice up a defense with a kicker (will lutz in my case) with the only seemingly notable rating that matters being throw power.

Not sure if this was intentional? But, the player personality traits have changed for a ton of players.

No one has the " Team Leader " trait from what I can see.

Trivial thing, but I wish they'd clean up the uniform selection a bit. Teams that got new uniforms this year (Lions, Texans, etc.) have both the new uniforms and last year's listed as Home and Away. The 49ers have two home uniforms, one with a larger wordmark above the number and another with a smaller one - I think they're different Nike templates. Still irks me a bit I can't use white/primary (red) cleats with the Niners white alternates.

Easy enough to work around most of the uniforms, but it still annoys me.

I hated the new camera angle when I first started playing, but now I kind of wish they'd bring it to CFB25.

Edit; Accelerated Clock still isn't right. But it works the same way in CFB25, so I guess that's how they want it to work.

Go to the application and hit the options button. Click on check for update. It'll either say one is available or it's already update to the latest version.

Update received on Xbox One . I keep telling some folks that Madden on last gen is not just a roster update.

Pass coverage needs fixed & the pass to run ratio needs fixed desperately. Does EA even test their game during development or do they just put out a beta and use putting out a million patches as a crutch. The game isn’t even finished till the nfl season is almost over. Another thing that goes unmentioned is when QBs scramble the linebackers and other secondary defenders seem hard coded to wait until the QB crosses the line of scrimmage to go make a play and by that time it’s too late. The game looks great and feels great but so many elements that should work that aren’t and it’s 2024…

It seems they updated dreads hanging out of helmet. Justin Jefferson has his skinny ones and they gave Jayden daniels different ones as well.

What’s not right about the accelerated clock?

It’s doesn’t run the same under the final two minutes as it does for the rest of the game. No incentive to use an actual hurry up offense as you can pick your play with a new formation and be at the line ready to go with almost a full play play clock and barely any time used on the game clock.

Zones and CPU Playcalling were mentioned in the notes as items being looked at for a future update. I'm fairly certain during their internal testing of the game, they just have a ton of fun playing 42-35 scoring games every matchup and that's why it releases this way every year. I don't think their skill level matches that of the simulation community on OS so they have more fun with the arcade-like gameplay.

Clicking the R stick will send your nearest defender toward a scrambling QB before they cross the LOS.

They have been catering to the MUT crowd in the last few Maddens, so yes you are right that they like seeing the arcade type plays and the high scoring games.

In addition to that, it doesn't always run off the correct time. If I set my runoff to 25, it will often run the play clock down to 20 or below. I think we determined in the CFB section that it does this for any runoff of 17 or higher.

But not running at all inside the final two minutes of each half is a bigger deal.
