Brian Sipple of Game Rant writes: "After an epic victory in Super Bowl XLVI by the New York Giants, another NFL season has come and gone. However, even elated Giants fans and dejected Patriots fans will eventually turn their attention to the 2012 season, and for gamers, this means that yet another edition of Madden NFL will put on the pads come the month of August.
Offline franchise depth and gameplay tweaks combined for a serviceable NFL experience in Madden 12 – but a lot of room existed for improvement. Game Rant has compiled a list of six such improvements we think EA Sports would do well to include in Madden 13, ranging from presentation and gameplay to the title's competitive online world."
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.
by not making it and giving it 2 years of development??? Lol I remember last year the "AMAZING" improvement they put in... Grass.
Good list. If I could add one it would be to consider scrapping the current engine and building a new one from the ground up. But then we wouldn't see any other improvements because EA would market the hell out of just that one thing.
Go back to how Madden 05 was. That game was actually really good. Then they took away all those great features 05 had and have never put them back in.
Give the franchise to another company like maybe sony or 2k . EA if your reading this can you also give whatever company you choose the NHL franchise too . THANKS
ps Make (Black 2 ) please
Let me turn off absolutely all the useless animations between plays so the game goes from one play immediately to the next. The games take way to long as it is. Also, allow me to save a game that is in progress.
