After todays madden 2026 update, game stutters when players leave huddle to go to scrimmage line, then it plays normally after the hike. it plays smoothly for 1 to 3 plays then it happens again. Even commentators get the stutter. This happens in franchise mode Cpu vs Cpu slow sim. Whats funny if you take control of the sticks it plays smoothly, no hiccups. I tried all the usual work arounds, nothing helps. So Franchise mode slow sim is off the menu. I time the duration of the stuttering 30 seconds. Starts when the brk huddle and stops once ball is hiked. 13600k, RTX 4060Ti, 32GB Ram 3200, 1TB M.2.
I have tried all the usual graphic settings, deleting in shader cache, turning off visual feedback, even reinstalled Madden 2026. Turn of Windows Game mode off and with on, does not help.
For me, the game freezes for a few seconds in franchise mode only during the offensive CPU snap. I'm not playing in slow sim. After the freeze of about 5-10 seconds, the game runs normally again, but it's almost the entire offensive CPU snap. I noticed that some playbooks freeze less. It must be something related to the snap animation.
