Introduction:

Madden 17 is the latest addition to the Madden series. Madden 17 is a fairly easy

so if you’re new to Madden, then it shouldn’t be overly difficult. The PS3 and PS4 lists are different so if you wish to view the PS4 list then please check out M-Easy's guide: LINK.

By all means, feel free to go through these steps in any order you wish. This walkthrough just shows the way I decided to get through the game to get the majority of the trophies out of the way.

Step 1 - Skills Trainer:

You should start off at the Skills Trainer – whether you’re a Madden vet or are new to the series. Play through each of the drills earning a bronze medal or better.

In this step you will unlock:

The Gold Standard

Budding Playmaker

Budding Game Wrecker

Basic Concept

Skillfully Executed

Outwit the Competition

Step 2 - Legacy Score:

You’re now going to want to complete all of the legacy score trophies. These are easy to complete and just require you to download a 99 rated roster from the community tab and to them sim through 10 years of Madden as a coach. See Tom Brady Legacy Award

for details how to complete this step quickly.

In this step you will unlock:

Alshon Jeffrey Legacy Award

Julio Jones Legacy Award

Rob Gronkowski Legacy Award

Dan Rooney Legacy Award

JJ Watt Legacy Award

Aaron Rodgers Legacy Award

John Madden Legacy Award

Tom Brady Legacy Award

Step 3 - MUT & DC: - Unobtainable

Next, you want to tackle the Draft Champions and Ultimate Team trophies. Start with Draft Champions because these are offline and then tackle the UT trophies as they're online. DC requires you to adjust your team, improve it and play several games without losing. UT requires you to ultimately reach the Super Bowl whilst also being the highest team in your conference on your way there.

In this step you will earn:

Firstly, you want to download a 99 rated roster from the community. From the main menu go to Share and Download Community Files. Scroll right to Roster and then sort them () by # of likes. ULTIMATEPACK should be top which contains 99 rated starters for the Packers. Download this and then go back one menu. Scroll right to Customize and then select Manage Files and Load and Delete Files. Scroll right to Roster and select ULTIMATE PACK and load it. Go back to the main menu and select Connected Franchise => Create Offline => Import Custom Roster. From here, start a new career as a coach (create new) and make him a Team Builder. Pick Packers as that's the 99 rated roster we just download/loaded.

In the settings menu, change the following:

Skill level – All-Madden
Salary Cap – Off
Re-Sign Players – On
Progress Players – On
Sign Off Season Free Agents – On
Simulate Game Prep Activities – On

Start the season and then simulate. You can either take it one season at a time or simulate 10 years, it's up to you. You should get all the legacy trophies within 4 – 5 years.
Triple Crown

Record a sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery on a single play (No SuperSim, Practice or Co-Op).
This is best done in "Play Now". You can use the 99 rated team downloaded for the legacy trophies. You may want to also either download a very low rated team in the community section or edit players yourself (speed, anticipation etc.). What you want to do is tackle the punter and use to strip the ball. The punter should fumble the ball, allowing you to recover it with the same player and return it. You could use a second controller and move your player right next to the punter before the snap. Tackle him, pick up the ball and return it. When the penalty notice appears, simply allow the TD and you'll get your trophy.
Little Giants

Execute a Fake FG for a TD (No SuperSim, Practice or Co-Op).
Go to Formation in the play menu and select Special Teams. Make sure you’re first and goal to make this easier (close to the Endzone). Select Fake FG and run for the TD.
