New Madden 17 Update Released, Here's What It Does

A new update for professional football game Madden NFL 17 has arrived--but don't expect any new features and tuning changes. The focus of this newest "mini title update" is on bug fixes and preparations for the "Freeze" winter event in the game's Ultimate Team mode.

One of the bug fixes is for a problem where the quarterback would become frozen in some situations. Another issue addressed is when a receiver would switch back to a previous assignment when he shouldn't have.

You can see the full patch notes below, as posted on the Madden website.
