Madden NFL 17 Video - New Halftime Presentation & Ice the Kicker (Gator)

[Steve_OS]

Gator has posted a couple of Madden NFL 17 videos. The first one showing off the new halftime presentation in the game.

The second Madden NFL 17 video shows off some gameplay, including "Ice the Kicker".

Ooh, I think I'm definitely going to like the ice the kicker feature.

Wow icing the kicker is gonna be fun

That ice the kicker is nice. I was under the impression that the whole meter would go away when it was explained awhile back. But I can't complain about it. I'll have to see how it feels when I actually play for myself.

Cannot watch the videos, but is the ice the kicker feature like the one that Was used in NCAA?

Nope, the meter disappears right before you tap the button for accuracy. The zooming in really close to the kicker is similar though.

I like everything I have seen of M17 so far. That said, I hope they tamp down the frequency of those inexplicable penalties on scores or first downs. Not saying that one was but I can't tell you how many times my players have committed a penalty (always holding) at the EXACT moment I get a first down or beat the last defender for a TD. I mean I have seen stuff like my full back (or any other player) 30 yards behind the play just turn and and hold a guy for no reason. I can accept it if the player is actively blocking for me to seal that big run or catch. But that kinda stuff just feels cheap. I hope they tweaked the frequency this year.

Icing the kicking shouldn't be a feature. It's not like it's something that usually even effects kickers irl generally. I don't like the idea of adding any Icing the Kicker handicap. 9 out of 10 times a coach tries to ice a kicker, and he misses the attempt if the snap still goes off and then makes it after the icing lol.

It seems really off the mark to actually make Icing the Kicker hurt your accuracy when it rarely ever works. I always wonder why coaches even bother trying to do it still.
