EA Sports Details Kinect Integration in Madden NFL 13
EA Sports today released a new video for Madden NFL 13 that focuses on the Kinect for Xbox 360 integration. Back at E3 the Kinect features were put on display for both Madden and FIFA 13.

In the first real preview to come out for Madden NFL 13 on PlayStation Vita the author at Polygon, Samit Sarkar, expressed a level of discomfort with the '13 being present in the title. That was and continues to be an understandable stance to take considering the game is based far more on Madden 12.

The Media Personalities Tweeting Inside Madden NFL 13 Connected Careers
Connected Careers mode in Madden NFL 13 features a number of personalities within a faux Twitter feed commenting on the events that take place throughout the league.

Latest Madden NFL 13 Screenshots
EA Sports has been slowly trickling out new screenshots for Madden NFL 13 keeping awareness of the game, even with over six weeks to go until release, relatively high despite NCAA Football 13 understandably getting the vast majority of the headlines this week.

First Report on Madden NFL 13 for Vita
Outside of the general outlook for the PlayStation Vita version of Madden NFL 13 being based primarily on Madden NFL 12 - and the lack of cross-platform play via save transfers with the PS3 - very little about the game had been discussed by EA Sports or Sony. It wasn't on hand at E3 and given the terrible sales numbers for the Vita system not many could fault EA's logic in their avoidance of dedicating heavy resources towards its development. (more…)...
