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.
  • DEV NOTE: There is exploit-prevention logic that increases the offensive line blocking win-chance when heavy offensive sets are matched up against light sub defensive sets with 3 or less ‘bigs’ rushing the passer; this logic was activating on RPO plays incorrectly.
• Tuning to reduce catch-penalty on catches where the receiver has to catch the ball behind or use a back-shoulder catch.
• Fixed an issue in pass-block targeting that was allowing a pass rusher through unblocked when hovering a defender over the A-gap in the Dollar 3-2 DB Fire Press play.
• Variety of general stability improvements.

FRANCHISE MODE

• Fixed various Server issues that would cause disconnects.
• Fixed various stability/crash issues.

MADDEN ULTIMATE TEAM

• Fixed an issue that would cause the user to become softlocked after returning from the new currency screen during the Most Feared event.
• Resolved an issue where EA Play Pro members were not receiving their monthly points.
• Fixed an issue where reward reports were missing the source information.
• Various text and visual improvements.

SUPERSTAR MODE

• Fixed an issue where Drive goals were not granting XP.
• Fixed an issue where users were not able to access Showdown mode.
