Madden NFL 17 is a great video game. My grandson loves it. It is like he is playing on the field with the professionals. I have fun watching him play. Love the game.

I purchased this for my son who's trying to learn more about football rules, plays and schemes. Some of the graphics are so realistic looking, it can appear like an actual football game with real players. Also much cheaper than the NFL Madden 18

Gameplay is flawless,superb graphics,awesome online! I like when you'receive about to catch or run when the defenders are on you a x,triangle,or square shows up on screen for the offense and defense to push to match a great catch,block pass,make a great run,or get stopped on run defense. Only one thing ea sports needs to change is when you're ready to play someone online I wish they would implement showing both teams before starting. Cause a lot of people play with the same team or you might want to play the team they choose. Overall another awesome game from EA!

I bought it for my 9 year old son. I feel like it's exactly the same game that I'm paying for it every year, but he is happy while playing the game.

Madden 25 really left a bad taste in my mouth with the poor design and all the bugs that came with it. But slowly, they are getting things better again. Some of the new controls I think are a little over the top, but I am a more traditional player anyways and as such I do not play online matches at all. I do dabble with the MUT though, which can be interesting, but I think it is a little too difficult to get what you need to succeed unless you either play EVERY day or are willing to drop a lot of cash into the in-game purchases.

Really solid game of football this year, the gameplay is just really solid all around. The line play is still a letdown but this won't be changing anytime soon it appears. Zone defense is finally an option this year as the zone defense AI is much improved. Lots of modes and things to do, doubt anyone will get bored with it before the actual NFL season wraps up. My grade: 8.5/10

From my nine year old son: First of all, I felt like too many times the opposing team would intercept the ball, and it got very frustrating. Also there were a lot of blocked kicks that also got very frustrating. In general the people on the team wouldn't catch the ball as often as in real football. But I did enjoy the game because it was fun to pass the ball, and the commentators really bring the game to life. It's just enjoyable to keep progressing through the season and to upgrade your players as you go along. I like it.

I have bought almost every madden game for the past....I don't know how many years now. You can never expect too much change from year to year and this is no different. Some better graphics, motion, and game play is an improvement. I can't seem to run the ball for squat, but am enjoying nonetheless. Ability to go through games as just the offense or just the defense is kind of cool to play quickly. All in all, nothing dramatically different, but an improvement in several areas and it keeps me coming back for more each year.

Madden always delivers a great football experience and additional modes to play more. You can play it casually or go into it deeper.

I love the graphics on Madden 17, but some of the added "features" aren't enjoyable to me. Like I don't like that they keep throwing more things at you to play a season. Granted, they are trying to make it more realistic, but I just want to play the game. I also like playing at the easier levels, as well as the most difficult levels, and I don't like the game auto does moves for you at the easier levels. I want to the easier game play without the computer doing anything for me.

Haven't played much madden in the last few years but this was a fun game. I wish I would've been patient and waited to get Madden 18 but this game was good to hold me over. Love the MyTeam mode.

This is the best madden game yet. The presentation to be more of a TV presentation is great. The commentary is the best in the franchise. The franchise mode is much better as the AI is smarter with how the draft and AI in game is better especially on defense. It's the most realistic game yet. The ultimate team mode is still great.

Ok so let me give props when its due. This years Madden is actually much better than last years where it dosent juts feel like a slight upgrade. Its apparent the creaters appear to be listening to the criticism & fixing the issues. Yes, they still have room to grow But that should always be as to always want to push it further. So It plays very well, The graphics are better, little details & all, the comentary is actually good! So buy & Enjoy!

Took a few years off of Madden and picked it up this year for both PS4 and Xbox One and haven't regretted it! The game is back to original days of Madden where its not always the same game play! Graphics and sound are a big bonus. Roster updates could download quicker, but that's about it! Makes a great gift!

I must say this is the first Madden in a long time that I'm thoroughly enjoying. The games are closer and tougher. Momentum seems to play a big part as well home advantage factoring in too. Players drops catches, fumbles happen with semi-regularity and so do the injuries. Best Madden in the past 10 years!
