This year’s iteration of the veteran American football sim, Madden NFL 17, is all about opening up the series to new fans.
If only I’d had the help that Madden NFL 17 gives newcomers when I decided to first get my head around, not only the nuances of EA Sports’ Madden franchise, but also the rules of American football as well.
