Playing modes include Exhibition, Season and Tournament. All scheduled games during a season can be either played or simulated. The tournament is for either 8 or 16 players in single elimination mode. The game also includes the 30 team's home stadiums plus one extra arena in Hawaii.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany features introduced in previous titles are reused here: variable weather (including night games), injuries and substitutions, ten different penalties (all adjustable), two skill levels, a bluffing mode for play calling, color commentary by John Madden, instant replays, and team roster editing with player creation (stats are set from a point pool), trading, releasing and signing of free agents. Player records and season progress can be saved to memory card\/backup RAM. A new feature is the possibility to change which team is controlled at any time during a game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring a game, the stadiums are rendered in polygonal texture-mapped 3D, with only the players, referees and ball as bitmaps. The game allows to choose from eight different camera perspectives, including views from the end zones and sidelines, a diagonal view and a \"classic cam\" emulating the perspective of earlier titles in the series on Genesis and SNES.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SEGA","offers":[{"title":"Complete in Box","offer_id":50671766274281,"sku":"014633077261A","price":13.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Game \u0026 Case","offer_id":50671766307049,"sku":"014633077261B","price":12.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Custom Case with Game","offer_id":50671766339817,"sku":"014633077261C","price":11.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Game Disc Only","offer_id":50671766372585,"sku":"014633077261D","price":9.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/8179\/8121\/files\/image_2026-03-20_125918003.png?v=1774033160","url":"https:\/\/zyphertradingvideogames.com\/products\/madden-nfl-97-sega-saturn","provider":"ZypherTrading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
