As if on cue from the closure we have from the Super Bowl yesterday, EA Sports has announced that it’s looking to release a more accessible version of Madden NFL for Facebook users. According to USA Today, the Facebook version(s) is expected to present cartoon-like players and provide a more casual experience than what enthusiasts might find on gaming consoles.

What does this mean to you?

I’m not a football fan, but I can follow the logic behind putting a successful gaming franchise on the most successful social media landscape. It translates into a place for fans to communicate, network, and of course, play a less intensive version of the famous Madden titles. Facebook would be the place to do this. It’s not like there is anyone else that can offer a robust platform besides Facebook.
