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
@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.

Changes 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.
- 6 years ago@EA_Barry For me, if I change to realtime priority and Maximum Prerendered Frames to 1, it runs smoother but not perfect like Madden 19. Still have stuttering and freezings but the freezings are "only" two or three seconds instead of ten or fifteen seconds.
My CPU Usage is between 75% and 95% with 30 FPS Lock. In Madden 19 was my CPU Useage between 65% and 85% with no stuttering or freezings.
I wish i could play Madden 20 so smooth like Madden 19.

@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

Most of us have four CPU cores. Maybe the quad-core is the problem.

Also did not resolve the issue for me, i have an i5 4590 and RX 5700 for reference.

Frame rate is ok but audio stuttering is still happening randomly throughout the game. It rears it's head whenever crowd and announcers get excited at the same time. Wasn't an issue in 19.

It's so annoying. I played Ultimate Team Draft and it stuttered like always but in the last minute suddenly the game was frozen again for 20 seconds instead of 3 seconds as usual and my CPU Usage was permanently at 100%. I got an error message and ended up in the main menu again. Actually, I would have won the game but now it is counted as lost.
Please fix the game! I want to play Madden 20 so smooth like Madden 19.

Same here. The only fix that worked for me is to always go to the task manager and set priority to real time, everytime when I launch the game.
Please fix this.

- 6 years ago@xStormKillerx For me the priority was set to real time and still I had the 20 seconds freeze.

Patch didn't fix anything, still have very high CPU usage with audio and game stutters.
