Madden NFL 26 Title Update | December 11th, 2025

Hey Madden fans,

Today’s title update is focused on stability improvements and several gameplay updates.

General Gameplay

• Fixed an issue where defenders with KO abilities would trigger the ability, but no knockout would occur when landing a hit during a catch and a successful knockout was rolled.
• DEV NOTE: You may still see KO abilities light up on some break-on-ball animations without a knockout occurring. This is expected! KO abilities can light up when a defender makes a break on the ball, but a knockout still requires a successful knockout roll. With this update, whenever a KO roll is successful and contact is made during the catch, the ball will be knocked out regardless of tackle type.
• Addressed an issue where you could not change the coverage shells on the following formations:
• Nickel 24 Load Double Mug - Bucs Defensive Playbook
• Nickel 33 Load Double Mug - Broncos Defensive Playbook
• Nickel Load Double Mug - Saints Defensive Playbook
• Nickel 24 Load Mug - Saints Defensive Playbook
• Fixed the automotion animation for the Wing TE in the Eagles > Singleback Deuce > Mtn Power O play.
• Addressed an issue in the Bears > Gun > Wing Flex Offset Wk > Mtn PA Fk Screen Scissors play where the ball would not snap when the play was flipped.
• Addressed an issue preventing passes to the Tight End on the Steelers > Singleback > Bunch X Nasty > PA Sprint HB Flat play.

Thanks for your continued feedback and support. We’ll see you on the field!
