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.
