EA Sports Details Madden NFL 21's Day One Patch

EA Sports released details this week for the recent patch they added this week, as well as the Day One patch for Madden NFL 21. The primary fix to the patch fixes an issue in The Yard where players just suddenly vanished, along with some stability fixes that make sure you stop running into crashes and desync issues. As for the Day One patch, it will be fixing a few issues the devs have come across since the preview came up and the game was finalized, which includes the patch where they remove the word "Redskins" from the Washington team until the team releases imagery and name info for the new branding. We thought the team would have done that by now with the season approaching, but much like changing the name, Washington seems to be taking their jolly time. You can read the full update notes below.
