Madden NFL 26 New Update 1.014 Rushes Out on a Weekend to Fix Franchise, Ultimate Team
While EA just released a new Madden NFL 26 update that added many more names to the X-Factors Superstars pool, it also introduced issues in Franchise mode and Ultimate Team.
Given how much of Madden 26’s microtransactions (ie. EA’s post-release revenue) is tied ot Ultimate Team, it’s understandable — even expected — that the developers will get on it ASAP. That’s exactly what has happened, as even if it’s a weekend, Madden NFL 26 update 1.014 (complete version 1.014.000) has just been released.
As one might expect, this fixes issues that affected gamers via the patch released a few days ago.
Madden NFL 26 Emergency Update 1.014 Fixes Ultimate Team Issues
EA has mentioned, “We’re aware of menu responsiveness issues impacting Franchise mode and Ultimate Team. A fix has been identified and we’re working to get the update live as soon as possible.”
Adding to that, the developers noted, “Update: We are continuing to work to get this resolved as quickly as possible and are targeting release this weekend.”
We’re really hoping that for gameplay bug fixes and other issues, the dev team is this quick to act.
Oddly enough, Madden NFL 26 isn’t the only game that received an emergency patch this weekend, as Fortnite just got one too, adn this is to fix stability issues.
If you know anyone who’s looking to purchase Madden 26 on the PS5, there’s a sale ongoing now on the PSN Store, which significantly discounts the football sim.
