EA Sports has made Title Update #2 available to all Madden players across the board. Check out the full patch notes below and boot up your console to download the update.

- Addressed issue where the defense would not adjust alignment if the CPU controlled offensive team enacted a concept audible
- Updated Individual Coverage adjustments to not only affect the pre-snap shading but also the post play leverage technique
- Addressed issue where adjusting the ZONE shading would have an effect on the defenders drop location instead of just the leverage technique
