@EA_Barryi really hope/appreciate you guys are trying to fix the issue, but just saying we're looking into it is getting really old at this point. i'm not asking for a timeline...But can you or someone else please tell us a little more then "we're working on it". ...i respect fixes take time but keep us in the loop please...
Still having this issue, but it's not as bad as it was originally. I changed 'Max pre-rendered frames' from defaults to 1, and that lowered the CPU usage of the Madden process from 90% down to around 75%.
It still spikes up to 90% occasionally which makes it stutter and choppy at times, but it's now actually playable.
System specs for reference:

16gb ram
GTX 2070

In the nVidia control panel, manage 3D settings. Program settings tab, choose select a program and choose Madden NFL 20. Then change the "Maximum pre-rendered frames" to 1, and apply. Haven't tried this yet, will shorty to see how it works
Just updated Madden this morning
changed pre rendered frames to one and the issue has gotten worse.
Couldn’t even kickoff on the first exhibition game
game froze and my pc crashed.

Yup after the update there is still unplayable stutter. The play art with MSAA enabled is still invisible so that wasn't even addressed either.
Doesn't help that their patch notes/"gridiron notes" is just a trash MUT blog so we don't even know if the updates even attempt a fix.
@Diablo_Muertes @eksploytedNot sure if its all this or all the patch or a combo of both but my games finally running nearly perfect with no need for realtime priority or turning down the crowd volume. thanks for sharing this guys and anyone who hasn't tried it yet i encourage you to do so.
Community ManagerChanges have been made which should resolve this issue for at least some people.
Can anyone confirm the issue is resolved or partially resolved please?
Thanks.
Nope still using 100% cpu
No change
@EA_BarryOn game boot-up I can now sometimes play around 4 minutes of a game before it becomes an unplayable mess like usual. If I restart the game entirely sometimes it gives me another 4ish minutes of smooth game play but it also sometimes stutters straight from kickoff. This happens regardless of settings in-game and in Nvidia control panel. Have yet to make it to halftime in a game.

@EA_BarryNo changes for me either. If anything, CPU usage seems to be even higher. Before the last update, during gameplay, the usage was in the mid 90's most of the time, now it stays at 100 %. In menu's, CPU usage is up by 10% to somewhere in the 70's after today's update.
Still seeing above 90% cpu use
Does not seem to be better. Choppy audio always and occasional game freeze accompanied by 100% core usage.
I finally got a Ryzen 3700X to upgrade from my i5 6600K and the game runs fine now. The 6600K should not have had that much of an issue with the game however. This and obviously a new motherboard were the only changes from my previously posted setup if this information helps isolate the problem to a cpu/motherboard issue.
No change for me with the update
No change either.
Most of us have four CPU cores. Maybe the quad-core is the problem.
