Madden 13 on Wii U features touch play-calling, hot routes

4.7
A Wii U version of Madden NFL 13 was briefly detailed at EA's Summer Showcase event today. Developed by EA Tiburon, the game will include many of the same features to be seen in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, including Total Control Passing and the game's improved "read and react" defensive AI. The much-touted Connected Careers mode will also find its way to Wii U, along with commentary by Jim Nantz and Phil Simms.

The Madden 13 Wii U demo at the event demonstrated new touch-screen play-calling methods, player management, and pre-snap adjustments on the GamePad controller. Additionally, players will be able to draw hot routes for their receivers on the controller's screen, not unlike the series' "call your shots" modes on the Wii. Madden 13 will launch with the Wii U later this year.

Aced Heared about this, Wont really make the game any different, but nice add on for the wii u


It could, using the touch screen to move players and kick the ball could be a nice touch.

L33t-Ninja-Much i think its a cool way to play football but what ells could they use it for ??


What do you mean? What else could they use the CONTROLLER for? I guess since it has a touch screen you could watch stuff.


instead of watching stuff you could draw things, like a touch screen sketchbook, play games, etc.


Exactly, since its a touch screen there's a bunch of things you could do.

Yeah like an iPod you can play many games just by using the touch screen.


endless possibilities! but this would still be a bust. sticking with my original word.

Speaking of the iPod, I wonder if this thing will have apps like one.

Major waste of money, just pick it up for the xbox $60, still an amazingly fun game to play. Wii sucks!
