CCC says: "“Has Madden always looked this bad?”
I was in the middle of choosing a play in the Microsoft booth; I faced a 3rd and long, and I couldn’t help but notice that all the players on the New England Patriots looked, well, the same. There was a distinct lack of detail and polish on the Xbox 360 build of the game.

Electronic Arts has used its Madden NFL franchise to simulate the winner of each Super Bowl every year since 2004. This year, Madden NFL 17 predicts the Patriots will beat the Falcons with a score of 27-24.
