Madden NFL 26 December Update Version 1.011 Runs Out for Gameplay Fixes
Electronic Arts has released the Madden NFL 26 December update today, and this applies a host of gameplay-related changes/fixes.
While this is a minor patch, it should still be something the fans will welcome with open arms, lest they only want updates to Ultimate Team all the friggin’ time. Console gamers will see today’s download appear as Madden NFL 26 update 1.011 (complete version 1.011.000), and this is a small download.
Read on for everything that got fixed courtesy of EA.
Madden NFL 26 December Update Brings It to Version 1.011
General Gameplay
- Fixed an issue where defenders with KO abilities would trigger the ability, but no knockout would occur when landing a hit during a catch and a successful knockout was rolled.
- DEV NOTE: You may still see KO abilities light up on some break-on-ball animations without a knockout occurring. This is expected! KO abilities can light up when a defender makes a break on the ball, but a knockout still requires a successful knockout roll. With this update, whenever a KO roll is successful and contact is made during the catch, the ball will be knocked out regardless of tackle type.
- Addressed an issue where you could not change the coverage shells on the following formations:
- Nickel 24 Load Double Mug – Bucs Defensive Playbook
- Nickel 33 Load Double Mug – Broncos Defensive Playbook
- Nickel Load Double Mug – Saints Defensive Playbook
- Nickel 24 Load Mug – Saints Defensive Playbook
- Fixed the automotion animation for the Wing TE in the Eagles > Singleback Deuce > Mtn Power O play.
- Addressed an issue in the Bears > Gun > Wing Flex Offset Wk > Mtn PA Fk Screen Scissors play where the ball would not snap when the play was flipped.
- Addressed an issue preventing passes to the Tight End on the Steelers > Singleback > Bunch X Nasty > PA Sprint HB Flat play.
Chances are, this is the last patch for the football sim for 2025. If EA releases another one, expect it here on MP1st.
