Key Highlights:

• General MUT & Franchise bug fixes

Gameplay Updates:

• Resolved an issue with player-indicator flashing for Pass Lead abilities; Set Feet Lead and Pass Lead Elite was not giving consistent feedback when activating. Now the Star or X underneath the player will light-up appropriately when using these abilities. 
• Addressed an issue with receivers dropping the ball from late collisions by defenders. 
  • DEV NOTE: In these situations, the receiver would seem to have brought the ball in and secured it but the late collision from a defender would have the ball awkwardly dribble out of the receiver’s hand(s). We have now made the window for knocking the ball out from a normal collision smaller so defenders will no longer be able to knock the ball out so late. 
• Fixed an issue with defenders in man coverage not reacting appropriately to a receiver on a Bubble route in RPO plays. 
• Tuning to increase AI pass-rush on All-Pro and All-Madden skill levels. When AI pass rushers win their matchup, they will beat their block sooner.
• Addressed an issue with left-handed QB always running option run plays to the left regardless of the designed run direction.
  • DEV NOTE: We are aware that left-handed QB’s are also running the wrong direction on QB Power plays, and that fix will be in a future title update, as we were unable to squeeze it into this one.
• Fixed an issue sometimes causing the ball to be incorrectly spotted on the 35-yard line when a kick returner would catch the ball right on the line at the back of the endzone.
• Added logic for user-controlled ball carriers to be able to trigger fake-outs using basic ball carrier skill moves on Arcade, as opposed to only combo moves.

Madden Ultimate Team Updates:

• Fixed an issue on the compare screen that showed the default X-factor on a player item
• Adjusted how Solo Battle CPU teams are evaluated.

Franchise Updates:

• Face of the Franchise Updates:
  • Fixed an issue with users playing as a HB receiving temporary ratings boosts for QB related ratings
  • Fixed an issue with some abilities appearing twice in the edit player screen
• Franchise Updates:
  • Fixed an issue with older, high OVR Free Agents being removed from the game before users have a chance to sign them
  • Fixed an issue where players received Morale and Legacy changes during pre-season games

The Yard Updates:

• Stability and reliability improvements

Presentation Updates:

• Fixed an issue with Oilers uniforms 
• Raiders updated to Grass field
