Madden '13 is looking strong out of the gate. The real story will be how it looks at the end of September though. There appears to be a huge uplift in people going online this season (28% over last year) which could be tied into offline franchise people opting to have their franchise as an online version so that they can take advantage of tuning updates over the course of the season.
