Madden 24 'Momentum or home advantage' setting not turning off, players report

Here’s the crux of the article in video form:

Recent reports suggest that Madden NFL 24 players are experiencing difficulties when playing the game as the ‘Momentum or home advantage’ setting is not turning off.

Madden 24 has received mixed reviews from critics and enthusiasts. However, several gamers are unhappy as the occasional bugs and issues affect their gameplay experience negatively.

For instance, we recently noted that the Madden 24 Superstar camera was locked on the player and the Superstar mode was missing or unavailable.

In addition, we also highlighted the issue where Madden 24 Deluxe preorder points and rewards were missing.

The Momentum serves as a dynamic system that influences the flow of the game. When a team has momentum, it is more likely to execute successful plays and less likely to make mistakes.

The opposite is true for a team that is struggling. In Madden 24, every stadium boasts its own unique home field advantage. This can give the home team a boost in momentum and make it more challenging for the opponents to win.

With the latest iteration of the game, players in franchise mode can also choose to turn off this setting.

However, by looking at the reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10), it seems that several gamers are experiencing difficulties disabling it.

As per the claims, Momentum is being awarded to teams even when it has been ‘turned off’ in the league settings. Consequently, home teams are able to reap the advantages once the meter gets filled up.

And this is, without a doubt, quite disappointing for those who find the gameplay excessively challenging because of the home field advantage or momentum.

Some are even surprised to be facing this problem, as the feature allegedly worked fine in the beta version of the game.

One player claims that the Away teams are being granted unfair advantages and that they have higher chances of blocking kicks.

Another gamer contends that they have somehow managed to play the game after discovering effective strategies and cheese plays.

All right @MaddenNFLDirect we’ve also noticed when using franchise mode, turning off momentum/hf advantage does nothing. The momentum bar stays there and effects the game. This feature worked correctly in the beta. #Madden24

I’m sorry, but not being able to turn off momentum when you play your friends online in Madden 24 is awful. Let us turn it off @EAMaddenNFL.

Notably, the issue has been persistent ever since the game’s release and remains unresolved until now. And understandably, those impacted are requesting the developers to fix this glitch as soon as possible.

According to a Redditor, Electronic Arts is aware of the issue and is currently working on addressing it. However, we couldn’t trace the official confirmation of the same.

But we will be continuously monitoring this topic and update this story with new and noteworthy information.
