Performance Pro mode consistently fluctuates between 80-120fps in general gameplay. It's however usually within 90-105fps unless playing in heavier weather, where it dips into the 80s slightly more often. Cutscenes (TD celebrations etc) then can dip the framerate lower into the mid 60s. Fortunately, despite not being native 4K like Visual Pro mode, its PSSR2 upscaling still helps resolve a sharp and stable image, especially in motion where fine detail is preserved.
Visual Pro mode is the standard mode we've seen in the past 2 Madden entries on Pro. It still renders at 4K, even though resolution mode isn't an option on base PS5 this year. It also still increases the graphical fidelity past base PS5's visual mode (3D grass etc) and retains base PS5 performance mode's 60fps in replays/cutscenes (it's 30fps on base PS5 visual mode).
