I can't really answer this, I don't think.

I haven't seen M17, but generally, 4-3 defenses use a 1-gap system, and a 3-4 defense uses a 2-gap system...I would assume M17 would follow that standard.

Not sure if you can answer this but figured I would try; is Mercedes Benz stadium (Atlanta) in Madden 17

In a 4-3 the LBs are the 2 gap players

While this is true, there are exceptions, too. Wade Phillips' 3-4 defenses are predominantly 1-gaps. The Colts 3-4 employed a lot more 1-gap principles in 2015 than 2-gap. I can't think of any other examples right now, but it's happening in the modern NFL.

True, I was just pointing out the basic; I believe M17 is to have force and contain players? so that would suggest to me they put LB's in a 2 gap scenario for some plays, at least..I'll have to double check the M17 info that was just released.
