Madden 17 Features

Madden 17 Offense Improvements

We’ve added a tiered system to the types of special moves different players are able to pull off – depending on their attributes, ratings and speed. So now, expect your bigger bruising backs to be more effective with truck moves and stiff arms, while smaller, shiftier backs have more effective jukes and spins. Now don’t worry if you’re not a magician yet on the sticks.

New Ball Carrier UI Prompts help teach moves available to you, while the new Path Assist helps you navigate and anticipate down field. Additionally on lower skill levels, you can put the work on us and we will pick the appropriate moves for you, unlocking the fun for all of our players.

Madden 17 Defense Improvements

While the new tools on offense make you a better, more creative ball carrier, the New Defensive AI System is built on up to date NFL Strategies – such as Gap Play, Force Defenders and improved Zone Coverages. It’s time to force your opponents to stop being so one dimensional.

New Gap Play AI brings a new level of NFL authenticity and strategy to your defensive teammates. Each of your teammates has a gap assignment on run defense that puts them in position to better defend the run. Force defenders protect the outside of the field, pushing the ball carrier back inside allowing cut back defenders to make the big play. Finally Zone Coverage has been completely overhauled, with the addition of 8 new zone concepts never before seen in Madden.

Defenders have more awareness of threats to each zone and can pattern match receivers, creating defensive counters to stop virtually every passing concept. It’s our most realistic AI to date and it’s across the entire field.

Madden 17 Special Teams Improvements

Special Teams, the 3rd phase of football, is where big games are often won and lost. For the first time years we’re bringing the excitement back to special teams. A New Kick Meter is designed to increase the challenge of the kicking game like we see in today’s NFL.

Additionally, the ability to ice the kicker allows you to turn up the pressure on those late game winning field goal attempts. New trick plays and a new block kick mechanic add new elements to the risk and reward of Special Teams.

New Madden 17 Ground Game

Experience the most balanced gameplay to date on offense making you a better, more creative ball carrier, while new defensive AI puts your teammates into position to stop the run or passing game.

Madden 17 Franchise Mode

Take your team all the way in the deepest Franchise mode to-date, putting you at the center of your team’s Championship run.

Madden 365

If it happens in the NFL, it happens in Madden. Experience fresh content daily for your football fix.

Basing the entire game off Madden 05 would fix a lot of problems. Customisability, storyline feel to Connected Franchise… a revised 05 Madden with modern graphics and physics engine, I would definitely buy that.
What they are likely to actually produce… meh.

In “Superstar Mode” I would like the choice of watching my team when my player isn’t in, rather than just simulating the parts of the game my player is out. There are several times when my simulated offense is in, they will be in the red zone with maybe 15 seconds or so to go before the half or end of the game, and my simulated offense won’t attempt the potential game winning field goal before time runs out.

Me and my buddy always do a connected franchise together. We would like the option to have to player controlled characters on the same team. I think it would be awesome for him to control QB and me HB or MLB.
