Read more details below.

Madden 23 Version 1.16 Patch Notes

  • Added stability fixes.
  • Added performance improvements.
  • Added assets for upcoming programming.
  • Other minor tweaks.

The following changes were added previously.

Gameplay Update

  • Modifications made to QB Contain logic to mitigate pass rush exploit known as the ‘Loop Blitz’:
    • Only defenders on the line of scrimmage will be able to be assigned QB Contain
    • If there is a pass rusher aligned outside of the contain defender, the Contain Defender will rush the C Gap to avoid putting multiple rushers in the same gap
    • DEV NOTE: These changes are meant to bring balance to the ‘Loop Blitz’ exploit, while also offering more authentic rush lanes – specifically by trying to avoid putting multiple rushers in the same gap, or getting a contain player inside of an adjacent rusher. We will continue to monitor these changes in the live game and will continue to make tuning adjustments if necessary.
  • Fixed an issue causing the ball to appear in the wrong hand during the Stefon Diggs signature touchdown celebration
  • Addressed an issue causing the WR’s route to change from a streak to a goal-line fade after sending the receiver in motion
  • General stability improvements

Face of the Franchise Updates:

  • Fixed an issue showing the incorrect number of remaining drills in the Flood Pass Concept side activity
  • Fixed issue showing the teams reversed in the Stats/Ranks widget on the League Hub
  • Fixed several instances of improper scaling on some 4K TVs
  • Fixed a rare instance that could cause a non-QB position save file to revert randomly, switching to the QB position during a career.
    • DEV NOTE: This fix is intended to prevent a random position-change for active and newly-created careers after the update; it will not update save files that have already been impacted because doing so could wipe out an active career in the original position save-slot. We will continue to monitor this issue in the live game and look to address any other instances that may occur.

Madden Ultimate Team Updates:

  • Fixed several instances of improper scaling on some 4K TVs.
  • Remedied an issue where kicker active abilities would deactivate during Halftime Adjustments
  • Fixed the sets filtering on the New Item Screen
  • Fixed an issue where User-Skill Based Passing settings would reset after entering a MUT Squads or Co-Op Game
  • Fixed an issue where users were not able to refresh when entering Featured Opponent in Solo Battles.
  • Addressed a bug where the Press Start video was missing.
  • Fixed issues with specific camera angles on kick returns and punt returns in Munich stadium
  • Addressed various bugs with unnatural lip movement and eye movement in specific sideline shots
  • Added exterior stadium shot for the Steelers’ Acrisure Stadium
  • Addressed various stability updates
