Re: 10/22/25 Update Completely broke the game for me.

Got home from work, started playing madden which i bought literally not even 24 hours ago and EA managed to make me regret this choice deeply, the game is in its current state so laggy and stuttery till the point that its not even playable, tried out every fix possible and i mean EVERY ! fix, still nothing worked. And from what i read, literally everyone is having this problem, fix ur game EA, ur absolute trash of a Company. Shameless...

    Having the same problem, unplayable very laggy and a lot of stuttering with the new update I really don't understand how they keep breaking games with updates, just for the info I'm playing on a RTX 5090 at 4k 120fps.

    Yep, and EA hasn't even spoken up about this problem. Do these guys just not check their forums?

    Idk if it'll help anyone else, but for me, I turned off "On-Field Visual Feedback" in the options and it's been working fine for me. Hopefully it helps someone else until EA actually fixes this. (I took this from Reddit Post and it actually worked) Who knows why it worked

    Still broken! Even after turning off On Field Visual Feeback, its fine for offline, but the moment you load into an online match its a jittery mess. What a shame.
