The demo for Madden NFL 25 might be a good way to promote the game, but it has also revealed a pretty serious bug that affects gameplay, with situations where certain players become invisible and can no longer be returned to their normal state.

The EA Sports team working on the American football sim says that it is aware of the issue and that it will release a patch for the game on launch day to fix it.

The official Twitter account says, “UPDATE: A fix for the vanishing players is in Title Update #1, which will be available for download when #Madden25 launches on 8/27.”

Madden is one of the biggest video game series for Electronic Arts and a serious bug on launch could affect sales and the overall revenue of the company.

The new NFL simulation will be launched on August 27 on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, with versions for the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 also in development.
