Madden PC hard lags after snap

I'm having the same issues. Its probably the engine, EA golf suffers from the same performance issues.

I bought the 100 dollar version of this game and it has been disappointing, if you snap the ball on PC the game will slow down to a pace that is unplayable, i would like to know if there are settings to change this otherwise I may consider a refund 

@yohomeboylandon Fifa 23 is one of the few EA games that is optimized. I have a 4090 and most of EA games run like crap. Its sad seeing that finally some of their games are worth playing, yet they suffer in performance.

The game is glitchy and slow on PC only after snapping the ball. Cut scenes and kick offs are fine. Many others are reporting this. 

Hey Madden Fans, 

Thanks for taking a moment to let us know what you are running across in Madden NFL 24 on PC!

If you are still seeing performance issues and lagging try going through the following steps first...

• Lower In-game settings
• Match your monitor's native resolution
• Switch from windowed to fullscreen
• Repair/Verify your game based on which client you are launching from
• EA App - Repair (My Collection > Tile Dots > Repair)
• EGS - Repair (Library > Tile dots > Manage > Verify)
• Steam - Verify in your library
• EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery) 
• Connection and Advance Connection Guides 
• Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
• Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates  
• Check Drivers, Default to High-Performance GPU: Troubleshooting Graphics issues 
• Restart your device in Clean Boot mode, then just try running the client and game

just started playing, game is not playable. whenever i hike the ball its consistent stuttering, and i cannot fix it. my game is also using 90% cpu and 5% gpu, and yes my cords are properly plugged in to the gpu, drivers are updated, graphics are all low, not sure what else to do. i cannot play the game. 

Also same issue. RTX 4090 and an Ryzen 5800X3D and as soon as the ball snaps it goes into a stuttery mess. Have 0 issues with any other game. Unplayable until fixed.

It uses almost all the CPU %, heats up the PCs which is bad enough, but also makes the entire game unplayable due to lag.

When will it be fixed?

It has something to do with the sound.  Try starting a game and muting the sound on the PC.  It worked for me on both my laptop and desktop.  It has to be some glitch in the game.
