Hopefully a EA dev or someone close to Madden devs see this but will there be an update or at least an announcement that they know the game for some pc users is having bad frame drops and stuttering issues been trying to play the game on pc tried many things from lowering graphics and locking fps and cannot seem to play without it lagging bad and having stutters i also have the recommended specs for the game so idk if EA needs to drop a optimization update or what but its kinda annoying not being able to play the game because of this

Yeah, 100% - like what the heck? the game is unplayable.
Major lag, I'm sorry, but just, can't play it. Offline is a bit slow... Online? impossible.

16GB DDR4 RAM
Pre-loaded the game, was all excited to play last night, and the game is completely unplayable. In any game mode, as soon as the ball is snapped the game goes into slow-motion.
No matter what you set your graphics settings to, or lock your FPS to, the game is absolutely useless and unplayable. CPU is locked at 100% usage at all times, but if you go into instant replay the game runs like a dream! This might actually be the worst Madden release yet, and EA has set that bar extraordinarily low already. Game has been launchable (refuse to call it playable - it isn't) for almost a full 24 hours now and EA hasn't even said a word about the performance yet! What a great company. What an absolutely incredible organization.

Just got madden 24 trial. But my game runs in absolute slow motion. I have a laptop with gtx 1060. So above minimum requirements. And I have a fairly stable 30fps. Which should be fine as that's what consoles run at. Pre snap is fine. But the moment the ball is snapped the game goes into slow motion. Anyone else have the same problem?
Checking some performance stats my GPU is being used about 40% during game play. CPU 85%. So there's definitely room for improvement in performance - 2 years ago
Madden using 100% cpu and almost no gpu, no I don't have anything plugged in wrong and my pc should handle madden fine I've tried lowering all my graphics settings and also turning of anything unnecessary like the better looking hair. still will not stop running in slow motion in any game mode except mini games, its a shame because i really am enjoying the game in mini games but not fun at all that i cant play anything else considering this games full release is in like a day. please pay more attention to pc now that there's crossplay PLEASE

I'm enjoying the game so far but the only issue i'm having with madden 24 is FPS Lag and my GPU Maxing out i have the Maximum Requirements to play this game but it seems like this game is unoptimized, i would love to see this game get fix for that

If you are still seeing issues with performance, or your CPU or GPU running at 100% please let us know the following:
Platform:
PSN ID/Xbox GT:
Region:
Are you getting an error message?
Does this happen in a specific game mode?
Does playing another round or switching to a different mode resolve this?
Date this issue started (is it still happening?)?
Is this happening in a specific mode?
Does this happen everytime?
Is anything else happening?
Please share any steps you've tried to far to resolve the issue:
If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip...
If on PC, please share a DxDiag (Allows us to get PC Spec's, Check for errors/crashes, and look at drivers)
Thanks!

I preordered Madden 24 on my pc on the ea game launcher a while back and now that it's finally here, it's practically unplayable. It freezes all the time, the fps is not consistent, and all these issues are happening even with all my graphics settings as low as possible. I have a gtx2080 and an i7-8700k. Whenever I'm in a game task manager says Madden is using 100% of my CPU and like 0-3% of my GPU. I already tried to force the open gl rendering to use my GPU in GeForce experience but that did nothing. I'm not even sure if that was the issue but it was worth a shot. I also kind of think it may be a Directx issue because my computer usually runs games better at directx11 but to my understanding because there's no slider, madden 24 is locked at directx12??

What is EA doing about freezing issues, that include issues with high cpu utilization, random game crashes when loading a match, low fps.. etc.
EA_Barry has been responding to some issues but he’s never once mentioned what ea is doing about it, or if they’re even acknowledging our issues. Will there be an update coming out?

My CPU use is at 100% and my computer keeps shutting down saying there was an unexpected error. None of my gpu is being used aswell which is never happens during games. I believe that is why my computer crashes. Does anyone know how I could allow my GPU to run aswell. I tried everything already including it doing it through my computer itself, but it doesn't work. I'm sure its an EA issue but I paid 70 dollars and expect the game to work. Anyone know?

Me too bud. Facing the same issue where cpu is being utilized over GPU to run the game. They need to fix this. I’ve been trying to fix this, spent $300 on a new graphics card and wasted 3 days trying to resolve this issue. Nobody from EA is acknowledging that their is an issue with optimization of the game.
- 2 years ago@tonys526 It seems to be on their end right, I just know they will never fix it. Its wild.
- 2 years ago@soulsniper02 Yes! youre spot on this code has been improperly designed. It is a CPU hog. So much so that it may damage computer hardware. They may want to get on this like yesterday or a class action lawsuit could be coming.

Do this to fix
Turn On Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling
Some reports are claiming that enabling the Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling feature on the Windows machine might help the FIFA 23 game to run properly by boosting the game performance and reducing online latency. To do so, you can follow the steps below:
- Press the Win+I keys to open Windows Settings.
- Click on System > Go to Display.
- Go to Graphics > Click on Change default graphic settings.
- Now, make sure to Enable the Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling feature.
- Once done, make sure to reboot the PC to apply changes.

GPU: RX6800 xt
CPU: i5-11400F
16 GB RAM
While playing Madden, my CPU starts to go crazy, until I hit 100% usage and its crash.
I didnt had this experience, while playing other games like FIFA23 or Jedi Survivor. There my CPU usage was round about 70 to 80%.
While playing Madden 24, my GPU usage is fairly low, round about 30%.
So I have the minimum requirements for Windows and tried the following recommendations:
- Download and install all available Windows Updates
- Run System File Checker to ensure the integrity of your Windows System files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
- Perform a clean boot before starting the game: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 or http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
But all of this didnt helped me. I even tried to turn ON Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling, but it didnt fix it ever.
Hope for any Help or we just need to wait for EA to fix the issue.
