It's time for more gridiron gratification as John Madden and EA Sports up the ante on football simulations with MADDEN ‘97. You'll get features like motion-captured animations of real NFL players, over 100 teams to choose from, and the legendary gameplay you've come to expect from the series. Thanks to state-of-the-art motion capture technology, actual NFL players have been digitized into the game, resulting in ultra-realistic animations and player graphics.
