The NFL's new kickoff rules and M25
I was curious as to whether or not Tiburon will implement the new kickoff formation and touchback rules for M25 or wait until next year?

Re: The NFL's new kickoff rules and M25
Wouldn't be shocked to see the game launch with the 2023 kickoff rules on-disc and then the new rules get patched in by kickoff weekend or something.
The NFL didn't enact the rule change until a little over a week ago. The launch version of each year's Madden enters beta around this time of year, which is long after the time changes could be reasonably made for whatever we get on day 1.
It's possible that EA Sports anticipated the new kickoff rule changes and built the new rules anyway, but I'm not counting on that.Comment

Re: The NFL's new kickoff rules and M25
My guess is that it will need to be patched in. Because the kickoff rules appear to be drastically different, I am guessing a lot of stuff has to go on behind the scenes before its ready.
And we know how EA is with patching... it might have to wait until November before it is patched... then another 2 months before they patch it again to fix what they broke in the November patch.Comment

Re: The NFL's new kickoff rules and M25
I imagine it'd be a tall task to get this patched in by midseason. And it's such a significant change that I wonder how online leagues/franchises will be impacted. Guess we'll have to wait and see but if some version of it is not ready for launch or shortly thereafter, I wouldn't be shocked if they waited until next year.My guess is that it will need to be patched in.

Re: The NFL's new kickoff rules and M25
There were some pretty significant under the hood changes made for M24 from when the beta was public and launch happened. Including the full implementation of the CharacterVisuals system. So the beta is far from the cutoff for key changes.Wouldn't be shocked to see the game launch with the 2023 kickoff rules on-disc and then the new rules get patched in by kickoff weekend or something.

Re: The NFL's new kickoff rules and M25
I really hope I'm wrong but I think that the only thing that will be fixed will be the new rules and nothing else.Fav teams:

I am not at all expecting this to be in the game. I do expect it to be patched though within a reasonable time.Streaming PC & PS5 games, join me most nights after 6:00pm ET on TwitchTV https://www.twitch.tv/shaunh20

Re: The NFL's new kickoff rules and M25
I honestly think it will be in by launch. It's not like their pursuit angles etc. were that amazing to begin with so I don't think it would be as much work as some have said.I won't ask for Christmas or birthday gifts if you subscribe to the Operation Sports Newsletter (Not Just Another Roster Update).

Re: The NFL's new kickoff rules and M25
Getting in here late, but Kane tweeted shortly after the rule was announced something that made it seem like he's a part of the team bringing the new kickoff to madden. I'm sure it'll be in. They have all of the footage from this kickoff being in the spring leagues so they'll be able to make it happen.Comment

The NFL's new kickoff rules and M25
I know it’s been largely inconsistent and incorrect for 15-18 years but as a simulation” it would sure be nice to have all the representing leagues rules intact , enforced and functioning to a simulation standard.
Challenges , penalties. I believe they said it’s too tough of task but just getting it all in and right matters.
“It’s in the game” is blashphemous especially when largely most of it isn’t.
Challenges working properly. Being able to decide what to challenge.. we have all uttered things like this for 15 years
That being said I expect new kickoff format to be intact
