"EA Sports made a handful of changes to Madden 13 on consoles this year, an ambitious attempt to usher in the next era in sports gaming. It's rather ironic, then, that the on-the-go version of the gridiron franchise remains so stuck in the past. Madden 13 arrives on Sony's PS Vita in an era when portable sports games have low expectations, and it does absolutely nothing to raise the bar."
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.

This is a nice read and good piece on Madden NFL 13.
