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

Elite jerseys in Mut would be cool. There was already elite stadiums and coaches. There could be alt. uniforms,color rush, and practice uniforms.
I want the traditional sideline camera and the ability to just sit back and watch the computer play itself like I’m watching a real game. Also if I’m watching it like a real game don’t bring up any UI gameplay elements. … Another thing…. Not every replay has to be up in the players jerseys, some plays like the deep pass should have the camera see the whole field so I can appreciate the distance the ball went.
Save your money because it’s going to be ANOTHER $60 for the same game! just a different GUI a few features and a new roster. That’s It!
If there can be a way to wager coins in MUT head to head that would be awesome! Like have both players agree to an amount such as 10k or 20k and at the end of the game the winner receives to winnings.
CFM bring back the combine and player, couch interviews. Also let that control who your drafted by and which pick you are.
Just a nice easy addition i just though of because it would be useful in my current league. If a user retires from the CFM but later on you want the same user to join back he should be able to use his old character. Come out of retirement to a new team though. So he can keep his stats, record, awards so on. This should be players but definitely coaches.
Please add back legend playbooks.
I would like to see for mut keep a life stat sheet for your team and players… like yards in your career in nut team ..TDs rushing yards you get the point….. in Madden 16 I was wondering out of the 200 games I played in MUT how many yards I had
