New year new Madden NFL 18 title updateSalem, OR — Earlier today the folks over at EA delivered a new title update for Madden NFL 18. The update isn’t a huge one, but addresses some of the issues users have had concerns with. Such as, reducing fake-outs for user controlled defenders when defending ball carrier special moves.

For the complete list of updates check out the below.

Gameplay Updates

  • Substantial reduction to fake-outs for user controlled defenders when defending ball carrier special moves
  • Slight reduction to fake-outs for AI controlled defenders when defending ball carrier special moves
  • Addressed an issue that was causing some AI controlled ball carriers to move slowly and/or not perform special moves
  • Tuned to decrease range of width on kickoffs to address the kickoff exploit that could force returners out of bounds inside their own five-yard line

Developer Note: Players have given us feedback that they’d like more control when clicked-on to a defender in pursuit. We wanted to provide more opportunities for both user-controlled and AI-controlled defenders to make tackles vs. jukes and spins.
