Community ManagerGridiron Notes: Madden NFL 20 Title Update - January
To ensure Madden is the best game possible, scheduled updates are deployed by the Madden Development Team to add features to the game after launch and to tune gameplay based on community feedback.
Our launch updates focus on many of the issues that Madden players report to us. We thank you for your feedback - you've helped us improve Madden NFL 20. We look forward to further feedback and are committed to continuing to meet your expectations.
Here is a detailed breakdown of what’s included in today's title update:
Key Highlights
Updated ‘Run Commit’ mechanic
Global Updates
General stability & connectivity improvements
NFL Player Likeness Updates:
Free Agent RB Jay Ajayi
Various commentary updates
Franchise Updates
Addressed an issue that was preventing some Cloud leagues from being able to Advance Week near the end of the regular season.
Fixed an issue with the ‘Adjust Lineup’ tool preventing it from updating the team’s OVR and player-count correctly.
Fixed a typo in player name in an early retirement story News post.
DEV NOTE: We updated the list of disallowed player names for Face of the Franchise: QB1 mode. This means that you may not be able to make a player avatar with your preferred last name when playing through the College Football Championship games. Users can change their player’s name once they are drafted onto an NFL team, where there are no naming restrictions.
Gameplay Updates
Updated ‘Run Commit’ mechanic to be more effective at stopping running plays when used toward the correct side of the run on all game styles.
Fixed an issue causing the commentary to call out a Touchdown when a TD wasn’t scored, most frequently occurring during tackles right at the goal line.
Fixed an issue allowing the ‘Grab-N-Go’ ability to activate on running backs during RPO plays.
Fixed some issues sometimes causing players to freeze after TD celebrations.
Fixed an issue allowing an exploit work-around for the ‘Ice the Kicker’ by calling a fake FG play.
Playbook Updates:
Fixed an issue with defensive alignment with Dime Sugar Weak vs. flipped offensive plays.
Fixed an issue causing zone swapping for 4-3 Even 6-1 and 46 Cub vs. Trips TE/Bunch TE.
Fixed an incorrect route on Gun Tight Doubles Zig Under.
Fixed an issue causing a frozen player on Close Z Clown/Close Z Corner.
