Madden NFL 27 Update Available Today - Patch Notes

A new Madden NFL 27 title update arrived earlier today with a handful of gameplay fixes and a notable Franchise fix.

Offensive tackles should be better at picking up contain defenders and linebackers lined up wide, while higher-rated defenders have a better chance of shedding blocks against weaker opponents. Receivers should cut down on unnecessary jump catches, defensive play flipping should line everyone up properly and pre-snap defensive adjustments should carry over during hurry-up situations.

For Franchise players, the Weekly Recap is back online and multi-user leagues should once again advance properly. EA says it’s continuing to work through the known issues mentioned in its previous Gridiron Notes. Check out the full official patch notes below for everything included in the update.
