Madden NFL 21 Patch 1.13 Arrives Tomorrow, Some Patch Notes Revealed

Madden NFL 21 game update 1.13 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Some of the patch notes were revealed earlier today on Good Morning Madden, featuring gameplay, MUT and Franchise/Face of the Franchise updates.

When the full patch notes arrive tomorrow, we’ll make sure to update, as it typically provides more details. Until then, check out some of the patch notes below, captured by Muthead.

For those of you looking for franchise mode updates, the first of three scheduled updates are set to arrive in mid-November. You will not be required to restart your franchise, when these updates arrive.

Here’s a list of community requests the team is currently implementing and testing. Keep that in mind, as things could change, the closer we get to release.

• X-Factor/Superstar Ability Customization: This highly requested feature by the community allows commissioners to assign X-Factors to any player via the edit player feature. Once a player has met the criteria to unlock an X-Factor ability, commissioners will be able to edit their player’s Superstar abilities and Superstar X-Factor ability by selecting from those available within his position group. Users will have control over this functionality in both offline and online Franchises.
• Player Card Career Stats UI: A top community request for several years now, the team is revamping the statistics on the player card to include more context in season stats, like week, opponent, and outcome, while also providing what team the player was on for every year of their career.
• Dev Trait Regression Tuning: The team is doing tuning work to player development traits in Franchise mode to ensure a proper balance of Superstar and X-Factor players when progressing multiple years in a Franchise.
• Playoff Bracket: A visual playoff bracket will be added into the game that reflects the new Wild Card format, allowing users to see the full playoff picture.
