Madden NFL 17 Videos - Best Plays & Bengals vs. Steelers (SimFBallCritic)

[Steve_OS]

SimFBallCritic has posted a couple of Madden NFL 17 videos. The first one features some of the best plays seen at EA Play.

The second Madden NFL 17 video features the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers.

everything looks incredible to me, game is looking outstanding.

I loved seeing Browner break out of his flat assignment since no one was there and he cheated back on the seam route to Brown for a nice INT.

Game is looking outstanding. Lot's of under the hood improvements to AI, loco motion, etc.

And holy crap the new commentary is so much better.

Madden 17 is going to be fantastic.

Why do the tackles look so weak? Looks like the players just fall to the ground.

Also, the collision system still needs work. As do the running animations.

I just wanted to point out that the running game looks great, but, it was great in Madden 15. Stiff arms, jukes, and bull moves, were nerfed in 16. Footwork looks very good, but the 'power' running stuff is a re-tread from 15. It is welcomed as I loved running in 15 vs 16. Just sayin'. Anyone else agree?

Here's a video I did back for 15. Notice the Riggins and Chuck Muncie (Chargers) runs.

I think what goes on in games like Madden, and in fact many games, is that something becomes over powered and so in the next iteration of the game they try to inject counters to what is over powered, or nerf what was over powered, such as what is being seen between the run game in M15 to M16; now with M17 and an improved defense, with gaps assignments and better zones, the running abilities could be added back in without being over powered because a proper defense to counter the run abilities has been implemented.

anyway, just my view on the issue of things that get taken out and then added back in a latter version.

I very much agree with you. Like I said, re-tread, but welcomed back. Now if they can just bring back things like that Tatum hit at the end of the video...but I think the NFL has something to say about those based on their tip-toeing around on the CTE issue.

The crowd reaction and commentary on the Heyward-Bey touchdown is incredible.
