GameZone writes, "Madden 13 is the Vita’s first football game. Usually when a sports genre gets released on a new platform, it tends to suffer, as was previously seen with the release of Madden Football for the Nintendo 3DS. The Madden 13 demo for the Vita has some ups and downs, but is overall a satisfying experience so far."
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.

I will be getting this for sure. I need a good sports game for my Vita.
Okay I read the article, some of the gripes are not legit. I have had no problems with the call your shots feature. I comes down to if you know how to use your touchscreen. 1 more week!!
I liked the demo a lot. My only problem was that at times it did get a little laggy. But I'm definitely getting it. Can't wait to have a franchise to play on the go.
