Madden 17 begins with an authoritative stamp: You’re thrown in Memorial Stadium, right in the thick of a NFC playoff game against the Washington Redskins. The crowd is ferocious, the commentary is well timed and filled with chemistry, and everything that is happening on the field has a manic pace to it. Before you know it, your heart is beating in the same way every sports fan has felt as the clock winds down.

Fortunately, just about everything that makes Madden 17’s intro so great carries itself over to the base game. All at once, Madden boasts improved presentation, feel and gameplay. From the moment the game kicks into gear, a sense of overwhelming confidence on the part of EA Tiburon sets in. Madden 17 may be the best football game put out by the studio this generation.

Great review Ben. Thought everything you said was spot on. Really excited about the commentary this season, it sounds incredible in the videos I've been watching.

Interesting to hear the AI return game has gotten better, that's kind of the opposite of the things I've been reading from the early impressions.

Thanks for the review.

"Madden 17 doesn’t do nearly enough to differentiate between quarterbacks"

Ehh this is something that has irked me about madden for years. It's not a deal breaker but I feel like it should have been touched on by now. I'm pretty sure all pro 2k8 had variation in throwing styles, an 8 year old game. Its a feature that adds to players looking and feeling different.

However I am happy to hear about the other improvements to gameplay. The feel of them game is something that has improved each game this gen and I am happy to hear that it has improved even further. Hopefully the improvement is noticeable enough to warrant a purchase. Can't wait for that EA Access trial to try this game out!
