Madden NFL 25 Patch Addresses Gameplay and Franchise Mode Issues - Patch Notes

Re: October 16th Madden 25 Patch Notes

I’ve played two All-Madden level in cloud franchise. I’m in 2027.
Much more cpu running. Giants especially, and repeatedly from heavy sets.

I beat Buffalo fairly well. The Giants were a poor team, but 2 pick 6s and a tough time stopping the run made it an OT game. Dexter Lawrence was a game wrecker vs inside run, and the Giants pass rush was crazy. I took 5 sacks, and constant pressure. Some clear AI zone problems as I hit long 4th down passes to force, then win overtime. I think this is due to plays were deep zone defenders play bump, or at least too close.

Fair but let's say a few of the folks that look at the game and then look at the stats. I have never played football in my life but if I look at the stats I would know that A) there were no penalties or B) combined rushing attempts was WAY too low.

Make sense? Having no penalties or super low rushing attempts would seem to stand out.

When do they usually update Franchise for the current week? I'll probably wait to start a new franchise for that with the new Bill's and Jets trade etc.

So can you change commentary teams in franchise mode before you play game?

Oh snap does that mean I don't have to give every team the CLE playbook in my franchise?!

Best part about this update! I ran about 3 games and the teams are indeed running the ball to mirror actual teams. Josh Jacob's ran it 30 times.

This what I been waiting for.

Sure, it makes sense, but it doesn't make sense that penalties have been missing since Madden 17.

I've been a big cheerleader for penalties since Madden 17.

That goes to my reason #2 above, a high priority for me wasn't a high priority for EA, not until this year. It stands out for you and I, but it might not stand out to the testers or management.

The key is to approach issues in the beta phase and upvote your concerns and have a huge thread on OS for a whole year.

at least the penalty sliders work this year

Re: October 16th Madden 25 Patch Notes

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. My existing save in franchise was patched. Dolphins in 1H did not call a run once. Titans passed 75 percent of time.

Played Bills Ravens. Ravens ran. Bills were about 75 percent pass.

Played chargers chiefs. They both passed 75 percent of time.

Do I need to start a fresh franchise?

I was pretty excited about this patch.

While I am definitely pleased with functioning penalties, I just wish they could all be as responsive as holding or roughing the passer.

The one that probably stands out the most for being unresponsive, is DPI..having tried it all over the place and can't get it to trigger for anything...lol

Good to know, I'm more invested in the gameplay but the cleat glitch is a bit of an eyesore.

I hope they're looking at the jagged robot and Ramsey Cross SpeedFlex masks, they don't seem to fit quite right on the helmet. Or maybe it's the visor not fully connecting that makes it appear that way.

Thats the funny thing about DPI. It's called a lot in the NFL, but in Madden....not so much.

Re: October 16th Madden 25 Patch Notes

It's just real frustrating that it takes to Mid October for them to release a patch that seems good. I am trained to hold off every year for them to figure it out.



Why during testing does no one stand up and say "Hey guys, there are no penalties (24) or hey, the CPU should run the ball more (25)"



Hoping this patch is good as M25 is on sale.

One game sample - night and day difference.
