Just a quick review of Madden 24 on the Steam Deck (Windows 10 - BaldSeaLion Guide).

Quick Summary: Overall the game runs quite well on the Steam Deck. There are dips and slight freezes, but some of that is just the poor performance with the game (Same issues on my desktop - 2080/5800X3D).

The Radeon control panel monitoring has it at 28fps average with occasional dips to 24 with the default GPU settings. I haven't tried a lower resolution with upscaling.

Everything in the game is functional and I'm able to play franchise mode and online.

Using Steam Deck Tools I can easily swap to Xbox360 controller mode and did not need to re-keybind anything.

I did initially have CryoUtilities on with the default settings, but that was causing the game to hang every 10 seconds or so. Without CryoUtilities the game will only hang while transitioning to the half-time / 'video' type summarizes of the game (I assume most people skip this).

Lastly, I am using Windows 10 instead of using Windows 11 due to EA Anti-cheat requiring SecureBoot to be configured correctly. On Windows 10, EA Anti-cheat ignores the Secureboot requirement. ( I believe I investigated getting it to work on Windows 11 to exhaustion, but if someone is able to achieve Windows 11 compatibility with the game, please let me know).

Quick Edit: Within my Steam Deck BIOS I do have the VRAM set to 4GB
