Injuries occur WAY too often, very frustrating. Also way too many QB fumbles when hit while throwing, should be incomplete passes but they cause fumbles and are not challengable. The gameplay other than that is wonderful, very smooth and they seemed to have really improved the physics of things, no...

There is no question EA Sports NFL franchise has been on the upswing for a few years now. Ever since Madden 25 dropped a few years ago, the series has made steady improvements. The Madden community is booming and tournament payouts are growing. The franchise is in great shape.

Gameplay remains rock solid; Franchise mode expanded; The defence has improved; Most authentic NFL experience yet

Kick meter blows; No real visual upgrades; No new modes; Lacks innovation; Soundtrack stinks

Way back in 1988, Electronic Arts released the very first Madden NFL Football title, which actually bore the iconic coach's full name and not just the abbreviated title. It's hard to believe that, since 1988, the franchise has evolved the way it has.

Madden 17 improved much in madden 16

I just order the delux version Not be cause old the possble bonuses that are expired but because it was cheaper used then the standard used game... this help well due to I'm on a budget

Touchdown.

Improved AI on defensive plays; New features to enhance running plays; Franchise mode has all the right additions

Unenthusiastic commentary; Player movement after a tackle looks odd

I could make a million jokes about infamously conservative LA Rams coach Jeff Fisher calling for two with time expiring and a playoff berth on the line in Madden 17's prologue. It's a flatout crazy moment that could potentially say all kinds of unflattering things about Madden's realism.

Madden NFL 17 certainly isn't a release for the series that introduces sweeping changes for the annual franchise. Smart tweaks to familiar modes, a slew of accesibility features, and a presentation that continues to impress, it's hard to knock this year's package for what it contains.
