Optimize it better for cpu

that’s so dumb bro why is it so cpu heavy? It should be balanced between the cpu and gpu. Just letting you know EA, I’m not buying madden 24 until u fix this

@IronPlayzi just wouldn't buy this game till you hear they work on it for pc, hopefully a patch/update can help because it's just running cpus to the ground
if that happens then yeah worth buying if they optimize

I posted this on reddit, but wanted to post it here too in case it helps someone else out. 

I was able to figure out something here and am still testing it but wouldn't mind having additional people trying it since my PC is not likely a great indicator alone.

Go to your Graphics settings in Windows (easy way to get there is open your start menu and type in Graphics, it should pop up in the results), manually add the Madden EXE from the games installation folder (mine defaulted to C:\Program Files\EA Games\Madden 24) and set the performance mode to High Performance.

Do the same for the EA_AntiCheatGamingService.EXE in the C:\Program Files\EA\AC folder, then try to run the game.

For some reason after doing that my 4070 TI is actually spiking to 100% utilization when it should, and my 13900K is staying down around 25-35 % like it should. (instead of the inverse like you said). I still get hitching but it's no where near as frequent and I don't have any frame loss when checking routes w/ LT or hot routing/ changing through the playbook.

Only time I've had to do this before was on another half shot PC port sports game released by a certain someone not forcing itself in High Performance mode. I don't even use the integrated graphics card, and have it disabled in my BIOS, but Madden was default not in High Performance for its graphics settings.

Let me know if you need further info on how to change these settings, and more importantly let me know if this fixed it for you so we can spread the word.

this game is * this company is horrible almost two weeks and we still can't play online and have the worst offline experience this is * robbery how does something like this get past testing there legit stealing the pc communities money 

I have done just about everything everyone has suggested. I have even followed your adice.  As of 3/17/24 Madden 23 still lags and it sounds like anouncers have a studdering problem.
