Madden NFL 16 Update #1 out now. Full patch notes detailed

There's no denying Madden NFL 16 is a tremendous improvement over previous iterations of the franchise. From the presentation to the actual gameplay, there's not much to complain about with this year's game — except for the bugs that have plagued it since launch. Glitches are one thing, but since its release, Madden 16 — particularly Connected Franchise — has had some game-breaking bugs that finally, over two weeks later, have been fixed.

Madden 16's first title update has been released and is now available to download on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Included are improvements and fixes to Madden 16's gameplay, Connected Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, and more. Full patch notes can be found below:
