The first title update for Madden NFL 23 has now rolled out across all platforms. In recent weeks, EA has had a rough go of things with its latest Madden game. At the end of 2022, Madden 23’s franchise mode experienced a problem that wiped out a number of player saves. And while this caused quite a commotion within the Madden community, EA has now released a new patch for the game while continuing to look to fix this previous problem. 

  • DEV NOTE: The tuning done to pressure detection is with the intent of decreasing the likelihood of getting an ‘Under Pressure Inaccurate’ pass when attempting to throw the ball quickly vs. blitz.

  • DEV NOTE: This tuning is meant to decrease the frequency of successful aggressive catches in traffic when using receivers without aggressive-catch abilities

  • DEV NOTE: Defenders’ catch chance is globally reduced when considered to be ‘in traffic’ to reflect the difficulties of securing a catch alongside other players. This change will reduce the amount of penalty applied when the ball has already been tipped or knocked up into the air to give defenders a better chance at intercepting tipped balls.
