Free-To-Play Madden Social Game Announced
Is a full-fledged Madden game too complicated for you? Today at its press conference, EA announced a new social alternative.
EA didn't give us a lot of details other than the fact that it will be releasing a new free-to-play Madden game on Facebook and mobile platforms this fall. The game will also feature interconnectivity with Madden 13, but no word on how that will function. Earlier at Microsoft's press conference, EA revealed a play-making feature that will work with the 360's SmartGlass, so it looks like the publisher is branching the franchise out as much as possible.
I'm a little skeptical on a social Madden game, but something that focuses more on strategy might be fun. What do you think?
