• Fixed an issue allowing receivers to catch tipped passes when they shouldn’t have

Pass Coverage

• Tuning to man-coverage positioning for defensive backs when covering slower receivers, decreasing the amount of cushion so that the defender can better make plays on the ball

General Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the backside offensive tackle would not pick up the defensive end on run plays especially when facing formations like Dollar

• Modified the Deep Out Elite ability so receivers would not get a 100% catch chance when the receiver is in double coverage

Franchise Updates:

• Dev Note: Since Title Update 4 launched, we have been working hard to improve Franchise Mode. Since then we have fixed two of the highest priority issues: the 32 User Online Franchise Bug and the Draft Revert Bug. Rest assured we are not done and are working towards more fixes for you in the future. 

Face of the Franchise Updates:

• Tuning to REP to better align the rewards between the LB and CB positions for defensive actions and achievements, including teammate sacks, assisted tackles and defensive touchdowns.

  • DEV NOTE: Through progression and gameplay data, we were seeing differing rewards for the same actions across the LB and CB positions. This tuning will align the rewards for defensive-position progression closer to offensive-position progression that began in the last title update. 

• Stability improvements

Madden Ultimate Team Updates:

Madden 23 Game Info

Developed by EA Tiburon and released by Electronic Arts, Madden NFL 23 is a video game about American football that is based on the National Football League (NFL). On August 19, 2022, it was made available globally on the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S consoles as part of the venerable Madden NFL series. The series' launch on the Epic Games Store was also commemorated by it. John Madden, a former head coach and commentator who inspired the game's name, is the cover star in recognition of his passing in December 2021. The game, like more recent installments, earned mixed reviews from critics but was hailed as an upgrade.

Madden 23 Features

Free agency tools and other trade variables were among the major elements in the franchise mode. New defensive animations, such as mid-air collisions and tackle assists, as well as a more accurate passing mechanic on offense were added to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game. Additionally, player-locked touchdown camera angles, more player silhouette body shapes, and better stadium textures are included in the game.

Madden 23 Reception

Critics gave Madden NFL 23 "mixed or average" ratings, according to Metacritic. IGN gave Madden NFL 23 a score of 7.0/10 and stated: "But with a few clever additions to animations, AI, and passing mechanics that offer minor but significant improvements to the moment-to-moment game on the field, Madden NFL 23 provides a sight of the light at the end of the tunnel.
