Read on for the list of known improvements and bug fixes for today, September 3.
Madden NFL 27 Update on September 3 Brings Fixes and Improvements to Various Modes
Presentation Fixes
- Offline Franchise Halftime Fix: For those of you who love matching up in local 1v1 battles within an Offline Franchise, we have resolved an issue where the Halftime Report would softlock at the end of the segment. You will now be able to transition smoothly back to the second-half action without interruption.
- Custom Adjustments Navigation Improvement: We fixed an issue that prevented the list from wrapping around, meaning you can now press “Up” at the very top of the list to quickly jump straight to the bottom item.
Gameplay Fixes
- Receivers jumping in situations they don’t need to.
- More holding calls when using Aggressive Blocking coach adjustment.
- Defense now flips with offense when auto flip coach adjustment is On (I.e. A slot DB will auto follow a slot WR when formation is flipped when Auto Flip is ON)
- Blockers respond better to contain rushers.
Franchise Mode (Known Issues)
Note that it’s not mentioned whether all the items listed below have been fixed with today’s update, but expect a handful of these issues to be resolved.
- A temporary fix was implemented last week to alleviate an issue some players were experiencing in Multi-User Franchise Leagues. The team is now targeting a full fix to restore Weekly Recap to arrive next week.
- Players are retiring at unexpected or illogical points in their careers.
- Free agents and re-signing players are signing unrealistic, long-term contract deals.
- Players can submit the top contract offer for a Free Agent and still lose them to competing teams.
- Contract negotiation options force players to add extra contract years or inflate signing bonuses.
- CPU teams accumulate massive salary cap deficits and fail to recover in future seasons.
- CPU teams repeatedly restructure large contracts during offseasons, severely compounding future salary cap issues.
- CPU team rosters carry an unrealistic lack of depth at specific positions.
- CPU teams only execute draft trades when players simulate the NFL draft rather than watching live picks.
- CPU delegation logic automatically re-signs players for user teams even when the setting is turned off.
SuperStar Known Issues
It’s not clear whether these issues will be resolved in this title update, but we’re hoping they are.
- We are investigating an issue where a server error can occur in the Superstar Storefront after purchasing a recommended Points bundle while attempting to complete another bundle purchase.
- Additional Superstar stability work is underway to address a rare front-end crash.
If we receive another changelog, we’ll update the article with the info.
