A final way to play (which is something unique for Wii U users) is the ability to not only call plays from, but also just simply play using the Wii U Gamepad. The game -- complete with (seemingly) full-quality visuals and audio -- is 100% playable on the gamepad. This is a great feature and it's great to see the Wii U gamepad being used in such a way for this title and others.
Madden 13 looks rather good, yet its visual quality isn't quite up to snuff compared to how the game plays. Player models are great and they look quite similar to their real-life counterparts, but not everything is perfect. First of all, the game's canned animations don't always mesh well with one another. There will be multiple times during games that the ball, for example, will be rotating in one direction only to magically change direction and flip around on its Y-axis to fall neatly into a receiver's hands. Mis-matched animations aren't the only problem with Madden 13's visuals, however.
