Madden NFL 13 Wii U Features List

EA Sports has released some official details on the Wii U version of Madden NFL 13. Features unique to the Wii U include the ability to call plays and draw up hot routes right on the tablet controller while Connected Careers mode and the commentary duo of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms make the transition to the new console. The one glaring omission is the lack of the “Infinity Engine” physics system which debuted to generally positive response on the 360 and PS3.

The official release date – whether it’ll be out on launch day of November 18 as most everyone would expect to be the case – has still not been announced.
