"The Madden NFL franchise if often viewed down upon because of Electronic Arts' desire to publish a new release each year. Often integrating just minor fixes with a roster update, many gamers have a hard time justifying a $60 investment within the Madden franchise each and every year. With Madden NFL 13, EA is pushing the envelope with their new Infinity Engine that redefines simulation in the Madden series."

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "This is the sixth entry in a series of articles I’m writing that will look at all of the games available in a particular genre on the Vita. The articles will highlight all Vita-native games, as well as any backwards-compatible PSP and PS1 titles that can be downloaded in English (i.e. from the EU or NA stores), and will include some commentary on how well those games run on Vita and whether they fill any missing gaps in the library."
In many ways, this past console generation was a brutal one for sports video games. While other genres flourished, sports gamers were subjected to an irreversible thinning of the herd, losing MLB 2K, 2K Sports football, NHL 2K, both NCAA basketball franchises, and seeing arcade sports games all but vanish. Competition, which breeds innovation, is weaker than ever. But that’s not to say some standout games didn’t arrive as well.

Who ever wrote this must live in Denver. I know it's Legal there now but don't smoke too much. It may cause insanity.
I have a hard time believing that Madden will be innovative and not iterative.
Ive watched a few vids of games from the E3 demo and i must say Madden may finally be what i was expecting it to be from the beginning of this generation. The Infinity Engine actually make it look REAL or more realistic than what has be seen from Madden I should say. This was the next step from using the Euphoria engine which i think @k will use if they get the NFL license back
I continue to say this but i think they are feeling the heat from the NFL license ending next year and feel the need to up the ante....
I'm a huge football fan, but I haven't enjoyed a football game in a long time.
I really hope the NFL does not renew the license contract with EA. As an NFL fan there hasn't been a decent game released in years. Very disappointing.
I miss 2K5 when is maddens NFL licencse over.
