The fourth title update for the newest game in EA Sports' annual franchise addresses a number of bugs with Madden Ultimate Team, Franchise and The Yard, as well as fine turning several issues and introducing some new player abilities.

One of the major fixes this time round focuses on the bug which would cause the kick metre to "hitch" during field goals.

Many gamers complained about the feature bugging out, which could result in some missed points.

The new abilities introduced this time round include Pass Committed and Run Committed to help defenders break up plays.

Players will also get to use the Deflator ability, which causes "increased fatigue penalties when tackling a ball carrier with a non-conservative tackle".

The new update also looks at a few more amusing bugs, including one which saw the runner just keep going after scoring, or another where the quarterback would use the wrong had to pitch the ball.

The patch has also fixed a problem which could see the ball pass through a defender's body.
