"The Madden NFL franchise if often viewed down upon because of Electronic Arts' desire to publish a new release each year. Often integrating just minor fixes with a roster update, many gamers have a hard time justifying a $60 investment within the Madden franchise each and every year. With Madden NFL 13, EA is pushing the envelope with their new Infinity Engine that redefines simulation in the Madden series."
