Guildford, UK - Nov. 1, 2012–
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that
Madden NFL 13 Social
is now available on
iPhone, iPad and
Facebook®. The all-new
game delivers an exciting free-to-play mobile experience for NFL
fans on the go, allowing players to get their football fix in

shootout from their iPhone or iPad, plus Facebook online.
Madden NFL 13 Social marks the first time EA SPORTS has
offered a full game experience across mobile and Facebook,

players can create and manage their ideal NFL team and face-off
with friends on the virtual gridiron anytime, anywhere.
Madden NFL 13 Social is a game for all skill levels,
providing straightforward play calling for the master strategist
and on-field action for those who want direct control of their
team. The game combines elements of the fan-favorite Madden
Ultimate Team with unique mobile gameplay to create a brand-new
experience. Fans can open card packs, set their lineups and buy and
sell cards in the auction house to assemble an unbeatable roster.
Every offensive drive earns coins, allowing fans to jump into the

asynchronous gameplay allows football devotees the opportunity to
challenge friends to a game on their iPad, play a few drives on
Facebook, then continue the action on the iPhone. Playing the game
on Facebook is as simple as selecting an offensive play and then
watching the results produced by the authentic
Madden NFL sim engine. iPhone and iPad users can take
matters into their own hands by swiping the touchscreen for spins
and jukes, as well as tapping open receivers downfield to deliver
the perfect strike over the defense.
