Let it not be said that EA Sports isn't doing all they can to make "Madden NFL 17," the upcoming installment in their long-running football franchise, the most accurate and up to date professional football experience.
In a series of photos released the other day, EA Sports quickly rendered Arian Foster, the running back who broke out as an elite tailback with the Houston Texans some years ago and recently signed with the Miami Dolphins, in his Dolphins duds, showing fans what he would look like in "Madden NFL 17." As the NFL enters the preseason soon and more transactions, cuts, and signings are made, we can expect EA Sports to show off similar looks at the game like this one.
If you're wondering why he looks so great in "Madden NFL 17," beyond the next-gen graphics, EA Sports also took care to add a ton of new unique pieces of equipment to the game, making each player even more customizable. Individual pieces of gear licensed from Riddell, Nike, adidas, Schutt, Rawlings, and Under Armour, among others, are included in the game, making the experience look and feel even more authentic.
As previously reported here on Gamenguide, EA Sports and developer EA Tiburon is reportedly loading "Madden NFL 17" with a ton of new features, including an expanded Franchise mode, better player A.I. on plays on both sides of the ball, a revamped special teams plays system, and sleeker, better-executed visual and audio presentation values within the game. EA Sports has also reportedly laid out a three-year plan for the improvement of the "Madden NFL" franchise. Whether all of those are true will remain to be seen until after the game releases.
Football fans will be able to play "Madden NFL 17" in time for the season kickoff, as it drops for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Playstation 4, and Xbox One on August 23.
