The team dives even deeper into the core gameplay improvements as well, focusing on player movement, tackling, catching, blocking, playbooks, pass coverage and much more.

Here’s just a few more core improvements snipped from the notes:

  • Increased ranges for Pass Lead and Pass Trajectory
  • Decreased the effectiveness of the Overtop coverage adjustment when guarding routes with cuts
  • Increased Get Off speed of Blitzing Defenders so they are faster to their gaps
  • New Impact Blocks that respect player Momentum, with an emphasis on bigger offensive linemen dominating smaller defensive backs inside the tackle box
  • Added multiplayer Scramble Sack interactions
  • Reduced match distance on blocks from the rear and back shoulder
  • Retuned High Throw Mechanic to make it more effective
  • Major tuning to Multiplayer Catching to reduce the frequency, but also reduce warping when they are used
  • Improved Pursuit logic to decrease the frequency of Over and Under Pursuit tackles
  • Improved defender reaction time when in position to play the ball vs. pass
  • After the whistle, teammates will now help the ball carrier up off the ground when in position to do so

Dynamic Gameday is only available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The feature will not be available for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
