Madden 24 Patch 1.022 Notes
GRIDIRON NOTES
Key Update for you:
- Gen 4 Player Experience:Since our last title update, some players have reported slower experience on Gen 4. The MUT team has made adjustments across the entire MUT Hub to improve loading and transition times for all platforms.
GAMEPLAY:
- Tuning to lower the ratings threshold for catching interceptions on the Competitive game style to decrease the number of dropped interceptions.
- DEV NOTE:This applies to open catches, since physical contact with a player or the ball can still cause the ball to be knocked out.
- Fixed an issue causing undesired catch-drops when the QB would get hit during or shortly after throwing the ball.
- DEV NOTE:In our September Title Update, we included a fix to decrease the chance for defenders to catch the ball quickly after a QB pass out of a hit, but that fix had the unintended result of decreasing the chance to catch passes during or after a QB hit globally. In response, we are backing that change out of the game to return catch-chances to previous values. This will temporarily re-introduce situations that allow pass rushers to sometimes catch the ball when the QB throws out of a hit, but we plan to refine that logic without impacting the global catch-chance in an upcoming title update.
- Fixed an issue causing the curl-flat defender in 3-4 Odd SS Trap 2 to align on the wrong side of the field against empty sets.
- Fixed an issue causing safeties and cornerbacks to have flipped assignments when covering offensive formations with 3 tight ends.
- Fixed an issue allowing the ball carrier to have no fumble chance when diving; after this fix, ball carriers will have a higher risk of fumbling when diving into traffic.
- Increased the size of the Passing Accuracy meter.
- Fixed an issue sometimes allowing unblocked defenders when using block-and-release routes in empty formations.
- DEV NOTE:Eligible receivers with a block-and-release assignment will not go out into their route until they have at least made contact with the blitzing defender that they are targeting. The blocker will stay in the engagement for a very short period of time, then release on his route.
- Fixed a rare issue causing players engaged in a block to freeze on the field for the rest of the play.
FRANCHISE MODE:
- NFL games scheduled in Germany will be played at Deutsche Bank Park.
