Madden '97 Overview
Alt. Names:
Madden '97
Madden '97 for the Game Boy concludes the series on that platform. It is an adaptation of the developer's earlier Madden 96 for the Game Gear, sharing core menus and options while adjusting the presentation for the handheld. The game lacks official NFL licensing, resulting in generic team names, though its roster and statistics reflect the real 1996 NFL season.
Available teams include thirty standard squads alongside the All-Madden team. Players can engage in several modes, such as Exhibition, Season, Playoffs, and Sudden Death. Alongside standard football management options, this version incorporates features like variable weather and injuries that were previously exclusive to the Game Gear iteration.
