"Madden NFL 17," EA Sports' latest iteration of the long-running pro football franchise that came out last week (and the only one in town, actually) is getting bundled with the Xbox One S, a small upgrade to Microsoft's current-gen console. Amazon is selling the bundle with a 10% discount, so if you're on the fence and looking to score an Xbox One in the near future, this might be a good purchase for you.
The "Madden NFL 17" Xbox One S bundle is going for $349 over on the official Xbox website, but it's going for less on Amazon, around $319. According to the official info, the bundle comes with a 1 TB Xbox One S (a slimmer version of the Xbox One), the game (obviously), one wireless controller, an HDMI cable that enables you to play the game in full 4K on any 4K-compatible TV, seven Madden Ultimate Team Pro Packs full of cards, one month free EA Access (so you can play games before their official release date), and a 20% discount coupon for NFLShop.com.
"Madden NFL 17" was released by EA Sports just last week, and the Xbox One S dropped at around the same time as well. The game has been very well-received on all current generations, which is saying something considering the major point of criticism for the "Madden NFL" franchise is that each yearly iteration feels like a huge rehash of the same game.
What's new in "Madden NFL 17" is that the presentation of the games have been made much more realistic, with new up-to-date audio commentary that will be made fresh as events happen in the real-life league every week. Football players' AI has also been drastically improved, with on-field NPCs acting smarter than ever before. If you're a true-blue NFL fan, you do not want to miss out on this game.
