Desync/Picker Interaction (Causing LEs) on Loveseats/Sofas
Sims are unable to sit at sofas/loveseats as the "sit" interaction is no longer available and upon clicking on the sofa/loveseat, the game generates a LE, every time. Sometimes it reads as a desync, sometimes it reads as a picker interaction. My save was modded but mods have since been removed to test. This has not been happening on newly generated saves and is only affecting my pre Dec 2nd update saves. I've selected multiple chairs to generate the LE a few times, see below: Edit By crinrict: Added Spoiler Tags
Accessibility Filters Not Applying Online + Limited HUD Color Customization
Platform: PC Modes affected: Ranked, Franchise (online) Issue type: Accessibility / Visual Settings Not Applying There are two separate technical problems with the current accessibility implementation. 1) Accessibility filters do not consistently apply in online modes. Colorblind filters function in offline play, but in online modes (Ranked and Franchise), the filters either: - Do not apply at all, or - Apply inconsistently between sessions If an accessibility setting exists in the global menu, it should apply at the engine level across all modes. There should not be a separate rendering path that bypasses accessibility filters during online play. This appears to be a mode-specific rendering override rather than a user configuration issue. 2) The current accessibility implementation lacks targeted control. The existing presets apply a global color shift to the entire rendered frame. This does not address the specific UI and gameplay elements that create visibility conflicts. There is currently no way to independently adjust: - Passing reticle color - Route colors - User indicator color - Catch indicator color - HUD highlight colors - Contrast levels for gameplay-critical UI The visibility problems are element-specific, not global color issues. Examples: - Yellow landing reticle blending into green turf - Red uniforms blending into stadium lighting - Blue-on-blue matchups lacking separation - White UI text becoming unreadable depending on background These are contrast mapping problems that require UI-layer color control, not full-frame hue adjustments. Suggested technical improvements: - Move accessibility filters to apply at a universal rendering stage so they function in all modes. - Add per-element HUD color customization similar to Battlefield’s system (reticle, indicators, UI highlights). - Implement adjustable high-contrast mode for UI elements only. - Allow local uniform overrides for visibility (display-side only, not gameplay-affecting). Other EA titles already support more advanced accessibility systems. Madden should not rely solely on global preset filters. Accessibility settings should function consistently across all modes and provide element-level control rather than full-screen color shifts.Bloodhound’s tracker bug
The time show on the tracker is inconsistent with the time after clicking. When the tracker displays the footstep time as 15 seconds (this bug occurs with other time intervals), the prompt in the upper right corner will show 60 seconds (or more) after clicking. This provides players with incorrect information and significantly impacts their game decisions (especially when using voice communication) , seriously affects player’s game experience. I hope it can be fixed as soon as possible to give players a better game experience.PC Performance, Frame Gen, DLSS/FSR & Engine Modernization Are Long Overdue
The current state of Madden on PC is unacceptable for a full-price AAA release. Frame timing is inconsistent. Stutter is common. Performance scaling is poor. This affects both AMD and NVIDIA systems. We paid the same price as console players, yet the PC version feels like a secondary port instead of a properly developed platform. **Frame Timing and Engine Issues** Even when locked at 60 FPS, the game does not feel smooth due to inconsistent frame pacing. This is not a hardware issue — it is an engine-level optimization problem. Madden is still running on a heavily modified Frostbite foundation that dates back to 2017-era architecture. PC hardware in 2026 is dramatically different. The engine needs modern PC optimization, not minimal adjustments. Framerate cap and refresh rate (Hz) should be separate settings. Players should be able to: - Set custom FPS limits - Run unlocked framerates - Use proper VRR - Match refresh rate independently These are standard PC features. **DLSS, FSR and Frame Generation Are Missing** Modern PC titles integrate: - NVIDIA DLSS upscaling - AMD FSR upscaling - Frame Generation (DLSS 3 / FSR 3) These technologies significantly improve smoothness and performance on modern GPUs. Madden has none of these natively implemented. Frame Generation in particular would dramatically improve smoothness for supported GPUs. There is no reason a modern sports title should lack these core PC technologies. **Driver Compatibility and Anti-Cheat Conflicts** AMD Adrenalin and NVIDIA Control Panel are official GPU tools used by millions of players. They are not cheats. They should not conflict with anti-cheat systems. Players should not feel like enabling normal driver features might cause instability or interference with EA Anti-Cheat. Driver tools and the engine should coexist properly. **Graphics Settings Are Too Limited** The graphics menu lacks proper granularity. PC players use ultrawide monitors, high refresh displays, and modern GPUs. There should be deeper control over: - Shadows - Post-processing - Lighting - Texture quality - V-Sync behavior - Frame limit behavior Telling players to disable visual feedback to reduce stutter is not a solution. That forces players to reduce gameplay clarity just to stabilize performance. **PC Is Not a Bonus Platform** There are tens of thousands of active Madden players on PC. The platform is growing. PC players are not asking for special treatment — we are asking for parity and proper optimization. This should be a fully supported PC release with: - Stable frame pacing - Engine-level optimization - DLSS and FSR upscaling - Frame Generation support - Modern graphics scalability - Proper framerate and refresh separation Right now, it feels like a port that receives minimal attention instead of a platform that is taken seriously. PC players deserve a modern, optimized experience — not an afterthought.Accessibility Settings Do Not Work Online and Need Major Improvements
The current accessibility implementation in Madden does not function properly in online modes and is extremely limited even when it does work. Issue #1 – Accessibility settings do not consistently apply in Franchise, Ranked, or other online modes. Colorblind filters may work in offline play, but in online environments they either do not apply at all or apply inconsistently. Accessibility settings should never disappear depending on game mode. If the setting exists in the main menu, it should apply universally across all modes. Competitive integrity should not override accessibility. Accessibility is not an advantage — it is a requirement for equal participation. When filters fail to apply in Ranked or Franchise, players are forced to compete at a visual disadvantage. That is not acceptable in a competitive environment. Issue #2 – The current colorblind filters are overly simplistic and ineffective. Even when the filters apply, they are global color shifts. They adjust the entire screen instead of targeting specific gameplay elements that actually create visibility problems. There is no ability to control: - Reticle color - Passing route colors - User indicator colors - Catch indicators - UI highlight colors - Contrast levels for important gameplay elements Instead, players are given three preset options. Colorblindness is not one-size-fits-all. Two people with the same diagnosis may still require different contrast levels or color layouts. Common in-game problems include: - Yellow landing reticles blending directly into green turf - Red uniforms blending into darker stadium lighting - Blue on blue matchups lacking separation - White text becoming difficult to read depending on background - Certain team color combinations blending into the field entirely These are clarity and contrast problems. A simple global hue shift does not solve them. Battlefield provides a better model for accessibility. It allows players to manually select reticle colors, hit marker colors, and HUD element colors. That level of customization ensures players can choose what works for their specific vision rather than being forced into a preset that may not help. Madden should allow players to manually choose: - Reticle color - Route color - User indicator color - Catch indicator color High-contrast HUD mode SLIDERS FOR BRIGHTNESS CONTRAST AND THE DEFICIENCIES FOR EACH COLORBLIND TYPE…SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMBINATIONS……FULL ACCESSIBLITY IS NOT A PRIVILEGE IT IS A DEMAND This would not impact competitive balance because it only affects the local display. It simply ensures the player can clearly see what is already there. FC 24 also allows users to control which uniforms they see in order to prevent blending. Madden should allow local uniform overrides for visibility. Let players choose a high-contrast matchup locally so turf and jerseys do not visually merge. This would not change gameplay logic — only visual clarity. Accessibility should be consistent across EA titles. Some EA games provide advanced customization while others rely on minimal presets. Players with color deficiencies deserve the same level of attention across all franchises. Accessibility is about equal access to gameplay clarity. Right now, Madden’s system does not provide that — especially when it fails to function in online modes.Problema de la luz no enciende mi parque problemas con la iluminación
