Almost 30 new hit-stick animations have been added for launch. Significant reduction to ‘punch-out’ fumbles by AI-controlled defenders during stand-up tackles on Competitive game style. Tuning to reduce fumbles by non-QB ball carriers on hit-sticks and strip-ball attempts. Tuning to significantly reduce fumble chance on QB hits while in the early portion of the throw. Tuning to significantly reduce fumble chance on QB hits inside the pocket. These jumping catch animations will significantly decrease situations where the player is requesting ‘Play Ball’ without seeing the corresponding animation response. Tuning to catch animations to increase range for jumping INT’s. User Interceptions aren’t always responsive:. Added new logic so the fakeouts could be used in super-win situations where the ratings delta is heavily in favor of the WR. Tuning to significantly reduce the frequency of fakeouts. Man Coverage Fake-outs are too frequent:. We do want to share that overall, having a powerful pass rush is critical to the balance of the game, and the pass rush at launch is still going to be more powerful than it was in Madden NFL 22. DEV NOTE: As noted in the Closed Beta Gridiron Notes, there was a bug causing super-wins to trigger too frequently early in the closed beta which was a primary contributor to the overpowered feeling. Pass Blocking isn’t strong enough/Too many ‘Insta-sheds’:. And on top of the foundational improvements, you’ll have to keep an eye on the Speed (SPD) rating of the pulling lineman, as slower OL’s could force you to lay off the acceleration mechanic while he navigates and faster OL’s will get through quicker allowing you to accelerate sooner on the play. DEV NOTE: Tuning and AI changes were made to make pulling linemen be more explosive through the line of scrimmage. Pulling Lineman are too slow/too indecisive:. Made improvements to man coverage pre-snap alignment vs. Adjusted the Corner Route in Bunch formations and the corner hot-route in the Hot Route Master and Slot Apprentice abilities to align with the other corner routes throughout the playbooks. Removed the ability to hot route TE’s to a pass block assignment when in a 2-point WR stance. Logic added so that when defensive backs are playing in linebacker positions, they will have slower reaction time to the running game. We believe these changes will bring more variety to playcalling, but we want to hear from you, our community, when the game launches to let us know how you feel about these changes – each of these are options for further tuning via title update:
DEV NOTE: We’ve made a number of changes since the beta to bring more balance to gameplay. Play Awareness – It’s too easy to run the same plays over and over again:. DEV NOTE: While referees returning to the field during live gameplay is not something we will be able to deliver in Madden 23, it is something that we want to get as badly as our players we want to make sure that when refs do return, we are able to return them in a state where they are at a quality level on par with the rest of the characters on the field and this is something very high on our priority list for the future. Add Referees back to the Game/On the Field. There has been polish added and bugs fixed from players’ feedback to make it even better, but the overall experience will be as you played in the beta. DEV NOTE: Rest assured Madden community, our vision of game balance is consistent with yours and the gameplay you experienced in the beta is what you’ll be playing on launch day.Don’t Drastically Change the Game/Leave Coverage Reaction Time Alone.For more on the changes that have been made in Madden 23 ahead of its August 19 release, check out our interview with gameplay producer Clint Oldenburg.
