Madden NFL 97

Madden NFL 97 is a football video game released in 1996. Though it is the fifth game in the Madden NFL series created in the 32-bit gaming era, it is only the second to be released for any current generation consoles of that era (the first being the 1994 release John Madden Football). Versions were released for the 32-bit PlayStation and Sega Saturn, the 16-bit Super NES and Genesis, and the 8-bit Game Boy.

This is the first edition of Madden to implement a salary cap when customizing team rosters. It also features the new Baltimore Ravens, the expansion franchise that absorbed the roster of the Cleveland Browns for the 1996 season. The game also adds a team of real free agents (as opposed to the blank slate used in Madden 96), which can be traded and added to other teams' rosters (led by recently semi-retired quarterback Randall Cunningham), and can be played by using a cheat code.
