Why no Vita version this year?

[DJ]

I played Madden 13 on the 360 and PS Vita this past year, and the Vita version, to me, was far superior. Franchise Mode (Madden 12's), better post-play replays (Madden 12, again), better CPU AI, auto-sub sliders work (3rd string RB's get a couple of carries in some of my games).

The framerate was good, graphics were solid and controls were responsive.

So, why no Vita version for Madden 25? Did M13 sell that bad that EA has decided to abandon the Vita?

I would like to know this as well. But, not all hope is lost if you get a PS4 and can do remote play.

If I were to guess, ROI on Vita and Wii U ports probably less than stellar and competing for resources with 2 new consoles to support.

Looking to get a Vita mostly for PS4 remote play, but have very low expectations that it may begin/resume getting it's own iteration of some franchises anytime soon.

If true it makes me a bit of a sad panda. Also strongly considering picking up a used vita when I go to Japan later this summer, also partly due to remote play with PS4. Would have loved some handheld madden though.. Recall playing it on my PSP a few years back and loving it..

You'll be able to remote play Madden 25 from your PS4 to your vita. Even better graphics than a game only developed for the vita. However you have to get a PS4 first...

I was really disappointed by this as well. I still play my Madden on Vita. It is a solid game (with a special camera angle)

If remote play works as I hope it does I guess I am ok with this not making it this year but I will still go through here soon and update all the rosters on my Madden Vita to current rosters and start playing again once camps open up.

Doesn't do any good if you're out! Which is where I use my Vita the most.
