The next patch for Madden NFL 25 is on the way, EA revealed in a blog post. The title update promises “improved stability” across all game modes and addresses a number of gameplay concerns had by players, such as the frequency of injuries and the ability to truck through tackles being tuned too high. Additionally, players were previously being awarded wins without completing solo challenges in Madden’s Ultimate Team mode – another bug being squashed in the upcoming patch.
Among the Connected Franchise mode tweaks the title update is expected to fix is the accelerated clock issues found in head-to-head games, as the play clock would not automatically wind down when being set that way in the game’s career mode. The patch also addresses a bug in which some athletes from imported draft classes would not have facemasks on their helmets, which just sounds like a group of rookies that prefer to live dangerously to us.
We’ve contacted EA to find out when the patch is expected to arrive and included the full list of fixes provided by the publisher after the break.
