The development team at EA Sports launches a new American football simulation on Facebook, under the name Madden NFL 13 Social, allowing all fans of the sport to get a quick game experience that manages to simulate the core elements of the series, while introducing a number of social features.

Gamers who launch the new Facebook game can quickly launch a new game and get into the action on the field or they can concentrate solely on the tactics of the game and stick to play calling.

Some elements of the game will be familiar to those who already play the Ultimate Team mode for the console bound Madden NFL title.

Madden NFL 13 Social is also offered on the iPhone and the iPad and EA Sports will probably also launch an Android version, as long as the new game is successful.
