A much bigger patch is coming further down the road.
The newest version of Madden utilizes a brand-new graphics engine for obscenely detailed graphics and has enhanced gameplay with new physics, collision, time-of-day changes, and more.
Madden 16 Patch Update
A new patch for Madden NFL 17 was released today on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, creative director Rex Dickson announced. The full patch notes have not yet been announced, but Dickson and others on the development team listed off some of the big, important changes include with the update.
First, the update fixes the serious-sounding problem where the opposing team could see if you were going with a run or a pass play. Additionally, you probably won't fumble as often now, as this update reduces the strip-tackle attempts by the CPU. Fumbles from sack situations will still occur normally.
Here are the highlights. @RexDEAFootball & @ClintOldenburg have full gameplay details. #Madden17pic.twitter.com/KfYOwALU5T

Also in the patch - Force defenders not dropping back vs. run when in zone coverage; Play Action desync; Fumble frequency in MUT solos.
— Clint Oldenburg (@ClintOldenburg) September 2, 2016Acquisitions Screen in Franchise no longer an issue, White on White jerseys in online H2H & Blockers occasionally not blocking in hurry-up
— Clint Oldenburg (@ClintOldenburg) September 2, 2016In Patch: No passing icons on PA, Force defender tuning, nano detection system tuning, users not getting stamina penalty when meter depleted
— Rex Dickson (@RexDEAFootball) September 2, 2016In a Twitch livestream today, Dickson said there will be a much bigger update for Madden NFL 17 coming later that will include 'hundreds' of fixes. He also said he wasn't sure how that run/pass tell glitch wasn't weeded out in testing, but that's in the past now, as it's been fixed.
In other news about Madden NFL 17, EA Sports has confirmed that the game's new commentary team will discuss Colin Kaepernick's controversial decision to sit during the national anthem. It's unclear if the patch introducing the commentary is out yet, but we'll report back with more information soon.
