Madden NFL 17 Has Ball Physics, New Ways to Eliminate Money Plays & Much More

This is awesome. Lots of goodies in there.


Does the non scripting of the ball also mean that wind conditions could affect passes, similar to how it affects kicks and punts?


Speaking of kicks and punts, the ability to have backspin punts is really cool and long overdue instead of the ball hitting the turn and just bouncing miles down the field, or sputtering to a stop.


So many good things going on in Madden this year.

No. The ball is still moving on its pre-determined path as it always has. The physics come into play when it makes contact with something.

In that scenario I hope they stand their ground and don't tune the greatness out of the game. They're on the right track dragging everyone into the realm of real football.

THIS IS KEY

This is great. Love all the additions madden is making. So all we need now from special teams is bad snaps and a greater ability to at least come close to blocking kicks and we will be set on special teams.

You won't get bad snaps, but about blocking kicks...
