GamesRadar gave it 4/5, saying: "With major changes to some of the game’s core mechanics, and an impressive revamp of the now marquee Franchise Mode, Madden 17 has done its best to avoid [accusations of phoning it in and failing to make significant progress], and succeeded." During the 20th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Madden NFL 17 for "Sports Game of the Year". According to the NPD Group, Madden NFL 17 was the best-selling retail game in the US in its month of release, but its launch month sales failed to surpass that of its predecessor, Madden NFL 16.
