Madden NFL 24 Fatigue Issue to be Fixed in Future Title Update

Madden NFL 24 patch #7 is available today adding their Franchise crossplay live beta for everyone that wants to try it out. The update also includes a few gameplay fixes, more than 600 player and generic portrait updates, Season 4 update and more. Check out the patch notes below.

UPDATE: (1-16) The fatigue issue many OSers are discussing in the comments (ZAN also has a great video on his channel) will be addressed in the next title update. (Bumping this up on the news page, just in case users were not aware.)

GAMEPLAY

• Fixed an issue preventing defenders equipped with ‘Edge Threat’ from using non-engaged pass rush moves.
  • DEV NOTE: We have adjusted the tolerances for non-engaged pass rush moves to trigger more. This fix will allow pass rushers to use pass-rush moves that trigger before they get engaged by a blocker. 
• Fixed an issue where the Conductor Ability was not granting the user 2 adjustments as the QB was walking to the line.
• Tuning to fatigue logic so defenders who are not dedicated pass rushers will suffer a more severe fatigue penalty when engaging with a pass blocker that is significantly bigger than them.  
  • DEV NOTE: With the prevalence of Defensive Back blitzes being used as staple defenses, we noticed that there were many cases where the DB would get picked up by a Tight End or an Offensive Lineman that was significantly bigger and stronger than the defensive back but the blitzing DB would be able to engage in this mismatch over and over again without fatiguing. Now if a defender who is not a dedicated pass rusher having a Power Move and Finesse Move rating below 70 engages in a blocking mismatch where they are outweighed by 90 lbs or more, they will suffer a significant fatigue hit.  
• General Stability fixes
