To coincide with the start of the actual NFL season today, EA Sports has released the first massive post-launch update for Madden NFL 23. After launching near the end of last month, a number of Madden 23 players began reporting various problems and bugs with various aspects of the game. Luckily, it seems that EA has been quick to hear these complaints and has now pushed out a sizable patch that looks to fix many of these errors.
DEV Note: This tuning should reduce lineman from taking themselves out of position to block blitzers and provide better prediction for the movement direction of the rushers.
DEV Note: In playbook packages where a WR is intentionally placed at the HB position, such as those found in the 49ers and Rams playbooks, the risk of fumbling was too high. Playing out of position will still carry a higher fumble chance than not, but it will no longer be as significant of a risk based on these real-life playbook packages utilizing players like 49ers WR Deebo Samuel.
DEV Note: While significantly improved, there will be rare instances where players right below what is perceived as “Elite” will be tagged.
DEV Note: We noticed that as seasons progressed, there would be far too many highly rated QB’s across the league when compared to the base rosters. To combat this we slightly increased QB regression as they get older. This paired with the QB Sim Stats tuning should result in a distribution similar to base rosters as you get deeper into Franchise.
DEV Note: This tune was to address some edge case exploits; this should not have a major impact on Re-Sign or Free Agency in general.
