Madden 22 Update 1.016

EA has released the first title update for Madden 22 today for both last-gen and next-gen platforms! The Madden 22 update 1.011 patch is the January Update for the sports sim, and it includes quite a number of gameplay-related changes. Read on for the full patch notes below.

Madden 22 Update 1.011 Patch Notes | Madden 22 January Update Patch Notes:

Madden NFL 22 (Xbox Series X|S & PS5)

Key Highlights:

  • Gameplay tuning around Run Commit and RPO Peek Plays
  • Various Franchise issues addressed

Gameplay Updates:

  • Addressed an issue when using Run Commit with 3 or fewer rushers on defense
  • Updated functionality of RPO Peek plays so the ball will be handed off automatically when the QB does not throw the ball within the provided window.
    • DEV NOTE: RPO Peek plays will now function like every other type of RPO play call, where the ball will be automatically handed off if the ball isn’t thrown. Players will be unable to scramble with the QB now unless they call RPO Read plays.
  • Fixed a ‘Spike’ Touchdown Celebration animation where the ball would be in the wrong hand and the scoring player would do the spike with an empty hand.
  • Addressed an issue with the Film Study Ability where the opponent’s play art was not being displayed in online games after meeting the requirements

Franchise Updates:

  • Fixed an issue where scenarios were incorrectly awards a development trait upgrade even though they failed reaching the goal when swimming
  • Fixed an issue where some scenarios were not tracking properly due to a bug with the stat type
  • Fixed an issue where users would rarely hit a soft lock in the Training Recap screen
  • Fixed an issue where users would occasionally soft-lock when exiting Franchise before the draft
  • Fixed an issue where users would soft lock after exiting a game

In December, we reiterated our commitment to continuing to improve Franchise as a part of our ongoing Madden NFL 22 live service and beyond. This includes two upcoming Franchise updates that we’ll deliver in Madden NFL 22. We will have more detail on those updates in an upcoming Gridiron Notes, thank you!

Madden ID Updates:

  • Minor Stability Updates

What about the downfield blocking glitch? On plays where deep receivers aren’t the target, the intermediate receiver catches and runs but the deep receivers just walks around out there, does not always provide a block.

Also, the lineman are nobodys. Can you fix this? Lineman should not be getting bullrushed on every down. Even my XFactor OL lineman are getting pummeled by non XFactor DL.

Wow nothing fixed, not even the community files error. EA really don’t give a crap about its community. Nice to see they won’t try to fix franchise until the season is over so they can directly port it into madden 23 and pass it off as a new feature. Good job ea and madden.

Ever since the update I can’t kick at all! I went from drilling 55-58 yards and now I’m missing extra points! Marker seems to always hit perfect going up, even when I try to stop a little early, and never accurate on the way down. It’s anyone else experiencing this or am I suddenly more terrible at this game than I was. (Very possible)
