The effect of wind in Madden 17 (and in 16) is way too extreme. Kickoffs barely getting to the 15 yard line on a max power kick with 16 MPH wind. Punts going for 25 yards or for 70 yards depending on which direction you're facing. Being able to kick a 65 yarder with maybe another 5 yards of room to spare while hardly being able to make a 25-30 yarder going the other direction. It's absurd and it's really one of the only major problems I have with the game but it really is a major problem. Field position is one of the biggest parts of football and when your 93 KPW punter can't get the ball past 30 yards in the 4th quarter when you're trying to hold a lead it really sucks.
Additionally this isn't something that can really be fixed with sliders. All that does is further exaggerate things on one side and even sometimes hardly has an effect on the other side. I have the punting slider set to 35 and I still have to kick at 50% power to get the ball to not fly 20+ yard over the head of the punt returner in 14 MPH wind.
