Madden 16 vs Madden 17.

[Prilosec]

Is there much of a difference between the 2 ?

You'll probably want to check the reviews for both. I'm actually going to pick-up M17 tomorrow from Lamestop. Got cold feet on buying M18, so I'll settle for M17 since I haven't played Madden in almost 5 years. And what the hell, I can spare $10 for a used copy.

M17 has quite a few Franchise features that M16 doesn't, such as practice squads and player editing. It also introduced a lot of new player equipment (Speed Flex helmets, one armed sleeves, current cleats) and has, in the opinion of most, better commentary.

One advantage that M16 has in the gameplay department, however, is that mobile CPU quarterbacks scrambled fairly often (IIRC).

This pretty much nails it. I also think in general qb AI was better in '16 and they weren't as robo getting high completion pcts off checkdowns.'18 has some of these same issues.

I really wanted to like '17 better because of the advantages but was always conflicted between the two.

Wasn't 16 filled with sack issues? Couldn't finish a game without 5+ sacks on the opposing QB.

Pretty sure '15 was like that.

Thx for your responses. I am wondering if CPU zone or man coverage is much better in madden 17 vs madden 16 ?

I think both games are very solid. 17 has better franchise features, and far better commentary but 16 has the better CPU QB AI in general.

I don’t think you will be disappointed in either game.
