Another August, another Madden season is upon fans of the only football game in the market and this year Madden 17 looks to add more to the long-running franchise.
Madden 17 will give ball carriers an upgrade with the new Ball-Carrier Feedback System that gives new prompts and path assist to help players identify defensive threats and recommends special moves to elude defenders.
On the defensive side, Madden 17 offers the most realistic defensive AI to date with new “Gap Plays” to stop the run while also defending the pass. It makes defensive play calling that much easier.

If you're getting your copy of Madden 17 from either Target or Walmart then you'll need to call your local store and find out if they're doing a midnight release or not. Sometimes the Target/Walmart strategy can pay off since they're not the sites most gamers go to for midnight releases and the lines can be shorter. However, every location is different so your local store might not be doing a Madden 17 midnight release. Use the Target store locator and Walmart store locator to find out which place near you will let you get your Madden 17 on at 12:01 a.m.
