In-game stuttering since the patch (offline) on PC

Playing franchise mode and quick play and I have BAD stuttering. Had no FPS issues prior to the patch. 

My GPU (RTX 4060 Ti) usage seems to stick around ~50%, whereas it was always over 70-80% before the patch.

What I've tried :

  • Updated Nvidia drivers, rebooted PC (No difference)
  • Fullscreen -> Bordeless windowed, fps cap at 60 then 30 (No difference)
  • Switching graphics quality : High -> Low -> Ultra (doesn't seem to make a difference, same stuttering occurs at all levels)
  • Switched v-sync on/off, already have G-Sync enabled (No change)
  • Set GPU preference in display settings for Madden 26 to my RTX 4060 Ti (no change in performance)

It's unplayable for me right now. Game alternates between 30/60 fps and 5 fps every half second.

This patch broke the game for me

  • To EA Kent and everyone in EA, I thank you for todays patch. The game is back to very smooth play. I even change graphics setting to high and  butter smooth in Slow sim Cpu vs Cpu. With all the bells and whistles. Great job and thank you.

    Yep, game is completely unplayable after the patch. Super bad screen stuttering even with high PC specs. Not to mention Superstar mode is completely broken for new characters (the cutscene never loads after setting up your player). 

    Big bummer, Was already upset I paid $75 and can't play superstar mode... Thank you EA for also ruining franchise now....

  • Same issue, everything worked fine before the update.  I also updated or made sure everything was updated.  I am running:

    Yep! Its unplayable for me as well. I have a 4090 and its doing EXACTLY what you described. I messed with the settings too and nothing works for me as well. Since you worded it super well, I went ahead and created another ticket using your write up so we can get it out there quicker. 

    I really hope its fixed quick because I was really looking forward to putting more time into franchise today
