"Part of the excitement of Fall is that football returns to dominates our lives. Like clockwork, millions of people sign up for fantasy teams, team updates, and the latest of edition of EA Sports's longest ongoing sports franchise - Madden. I've been a fan of football games since the original Madden offered mini-sprites the chance to blur their way into end-zones on the SNES. Now that August's almost over, Madden 13's customarily arrived alongside the NFL and fantasy football season, and the game's undergone massive changes in an attempt to overhaul gameplay and presentation. Does it work? Extremely well. In fact, this year's edition might be the best football game we've seen this console generation." (darkzero)
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.
9/10... that's a great score for Madden. Heck, that's a great score in general.
