UM...no. There is a reason games are patched.

There is. Still doesn't take away from Madden 17 OOTB playing a pretty good game of football.

Its debatable that '17 is better or should I say more solid in the gameplay department than '16 mainly because of the qb AI regression that obviously is still an issue. You really have to have both and play them to form a valid opinion.It would be difficult based just off memory.I would prefer to like '17 better but for what it does better also comes alot of annoyances.

Not even close. Madden 16 before the spring patch was by far the best. Even the final patched version of M16 is better than 17 OOTB.

(Again, talking strictly gameplay)

I play with the fully patched version which the final one was around mid to late July actually and it plays great.

The thing that some people remember '16 badly for is the spectacular catches being way to OP but at one point a patch really toned it down and at that point many may have traded it in or went on to something else.

I still play Madden 17 to this day.

Sure it isn't perfect, but the gameplay has left me more than satisfied.

I have to agree with this. Madden 16 QB AI was the best and that alone make it better than any other.
Madden 17 is still better than 2018 pre patched. With all patches I prefer madden 2018.
