GotGame: The demo for Madden NFL 13 was released on Tuesday and much to no ones surprise, everyone is rushing to get their first taste of football. First of all we downloaded the Xbox 360 version. Fans are given the choice of playing as either the Super Bowl champion New York Giants or the San Francisco 49′rs, all have been updated with the current rosters.
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 like you said that very little has changed in the game, yet you go on a few paragraphs about all the changes.
As someone who plays Madden longer than a week after it comes out, this is the most feature rich version to come out since the original Xbox days. Real time physics, qb cadences, new passing system, ball hawking system, connected careers, new MUT stuff, commentators who sound somewhat realistic, etc. This game is going to be a huge step up over previous years.
There are a lot of unscripted moments that display the physics agent, too. After a play, an offensive lineman was backing up and tripped over a guy who was in the process of getting up and was on all fours. It was cool. Also after a play a defender was walking back to the defensive side of the line of scrimmage and actually tripped over the helmet of someone still on the ground. His arms went flailing around. I like the little things that show the physics going, even when the play is over.
I'll be downloading this tonight too to check it out for myself. Have only demoed the Wii U version.
I didn't write the preview btw.
