Finally Updated from Madden 08

I finally upgraded my PC version of Madden 08 to Madden 20. What are the "must dos" after installing? Any good articles to read about getting the most out of Madden on PC? I see all the threads here, but wondering if I'm missing any other valuable sources.

FYI, I playing with an i5-3570K (OC'd to 4.2 GHz), GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB RAM, and on a TV.

The game is downloading to my SSD right now.

Thanks!

Not sure I'm a fan of this port as I've had to do a ton of leg work just to get the game working stutter free. Even after, I still get occasional audio stuttering.

the problem is your cpu is a 4 core 4 thread cpu. This game requires more than that.

after i upgraded from my 6600k to 6700k all of my stuttering/freezing went away and didn't require any tweaking whatsoever.

you could probably find a 3770K for cheap now if you dont want to fully upgrade your system.

Interesting...

I read somewhere on the EA forums about i5's in general being a problem with this game. Thanks for the head's up. I'll look into an upgrade.

I'm on an i9 9900k and 2080ti..and I saw the same stuttering issues. I could only resolve by turning v-sync on and setting the FPS lock to 60..yes I also play on a TV (LG OLED).

I also put crowd quality on low, seems to help it run smoother. Still looks good.

There's a thread somewhere on some tips to try. I also had the stuttering issue. I believe I had to set V-Sync on, Crowd on Low/Medium, and set priority to realtime for the game in Task Manager.
