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

Is Madden 365 like Extra Point from Madden 11?
ONLINE TEAMPLAY!!!!!
BRING TEAM PLAY BACK, IT WAS A FUN GAME MODE
Be able to set your defence subs at start of game..ie..nickel dime etc and save it. Instead of subbing in game. It sometimes takes 3 to 4 plays to put nickel subs in during a game..then there’s big nickel..dime etc.
Improve franchise mode for coaches and players. Right now madden is pretty much all about MUT which is nice and all but I think madden being more than just MUT would make it much more enjoyable to play. Nba 2k always does a great job with my career and I think if you could do some of the things you can do on 2k, no one would ever get tired of this game.
I think h2h season games should garuntee 5k minimum, because it’s hard to buy packs, or players we want if we are just getting around 2k, without serious grinding through solos, which aren’t as fun.
Plus I’d like to see Brett Favre and Randy Moss in the game
I would love to see a mode that I could play with my friends against other people online. Me and my friends always play Fifa pro clubs, my park on 2k, and eashl on NHL would love for madden to have something similar
