EA Sports has released a new update for Madden NFL 24 that fixes some gameplay issues and updates the appearance of some players.
EA Sports released a new essential update for the Madden NFL 24 game in early December. This patch corrected several bugs related to gameplay and Madden’s most popular game modes.
Madden NFL 24 covers the current 2023-2024 NFL season and was released in August 2023. It is the 35th installment in the long-running American football video game series, and like many other EA Sports titles, Madden 24 was frustrating for many players, even though many gamers had already accepted and expected it to be part of their gaming experience, and the game was full of it.
The main changes in the Madden 246 title update were to improve on-field gameplay and improve the overall stability of the game. These improvements included an unfair bonus for offensive blockers when facing three or fewer pass rushers, an issue with pass rushers being unblocked on certain plays, and an over-receipt penalty for wide receivers receiving from behind.
GAMEPLAY
- Fixed an issue where blockers received a large bonus to their win percentage in RPO games against defensive lineups with three or fewer pass rushers.
- DEV Note: There is anti-exploit logic that increases the blocking win percentage for the offensive line when using a heavy offensive lineup against a light “big” defensive lineup with 3 or fewer pass rushers.
- Tuning to reduce the interception penalty on interceptions that require the receiver to catch the ball from behind or use a back-shoulder catch.
- Correction of the pass-blocking targeting problem in the Dollar 3-2DB fire press game when a passer passed unblocked
- when a defender hovered over the A gap.
