On the gameplay side of things, Madden players will notice key changes to blocking on RPO plays when the defense is rushing three players or less. Previously, players were able to exploit the blocking bonuses under those conditions to gain an unfair advantage, meaning you’ll find it less effective. The team has also tweaked a few other areas of blocking and catching to keep things more in line with expectations. There are also several small changes for Franchise and Superstar mode, as well as a few Player Likeness updates making sure lesser-used players like Jarrett Stidham look true-to-life.
Below, you’ll find a full list of patch notes for Title Update #6. Madden NFL 24 is out now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.
Madden NFL 24 Title Update #6 Patch Notes
GRIDIRON NOTES
GAMEPLAY
- Fixed an issue granting blockers a significant bonus to win-chance on RPO plays vs. defensive sets with 3 or less pass rushers.
