EA is somewhat concerned about how the millions of loyal Madden fans react to their games each year. Â There are many who believe that EA doesn’t do enough to bring more innovation to the franchise. Â Comparing it to annual Game of the Year finalists like the EA Sports’ Fifa and NHL franchises, the enhancements to Madden’s gameplay have been subtle.
In a recent interview with Games Industry, EA’s Andrew Wilson believes that this is the year that people see the amount of work put into the Madden franchise. Â “I do believe that Madden did not have the level of innovation that some of our other franchises have had. Â I look at the budget, time and hours going into making those games. Â I look at the team this year and they made a concerted effort to put Madden right up there with FIFA, NHL and Fight Night Champion,” Wilson explained.
This year’s football title sees a number of improvements to the game, but most notable is the Infinity Engine. Â The new engine that is powering Madden NFL 13 was designed to incorporate more dynamic animations and collision detection. Â EA has claimed that this new engine “changes the outcome of every single play.”
EA’s Madden NFL 13 arrives later this month on numerous platforms.
