Madden NFL 17 Arrives August 23, First Look Later This Week
EA is getting set to reveal the cover athlete and gameplay for this year’s Madden NFL game. You can check out what it looks like in action on Thursday, May 12.
The game, which is coming on August 23 for current- and last-gen consoles, will be showcased on an episode of ESPN SportsCenter later this week. You can tune in at 6 p.m. Eastern / 3 p.m. Pacific on May 12 to see it live.
Unlike past years, EA isn’t giving us a hint with this announcement. The only thing we have to go on is the logo, with no screenshot to go on.
We’ll update later this week once EA is ready to share.

Our Take
There’s no cover vote this year, which is a departure from the past couple of years. It’ll be interesting to see who EA feels so strongly about that they are willing to bypass the will of the people.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
