Game Review: Madden NFL 17
September 23, 2016
Even though Madden NFL is one of EA’s biggest franchises, Madden NFL 17 was glossed over at the company’s E3 2016 press conference. Game Fans were worried that the game was not going to be good.
In fact, Madden NFL 17 is perhaps the most polished entry in the series available on current-gen consoles. Whether playing offense, defense, or as a coach, everything about the gameplay is as smooth as possible although it is lacking that one defining feature to really help it stand out from its predecessors.
While the game is good it’s lacking in terms of new game modes. Besides the lack in game play it has several zone improvements, including a simplified defense mechanic, as well as a fun way to tackle your opponents.
Madden continues to strengthen its gameplay by integrating the consistent button pressing mini game into the ground game with the addition of new character specialties.
Other new features added to Madden 17 include ball carrier special moves, tackle battle interaction, upgrades to special team system, gap play and zone coverage.
I would recommend this game to the people who have been playing madden all these years because of the interesting new features.
