Overview
Madden 13 is the first game in the franchise to make use of the Xbox 360s Kinect, allowing players to call the shots in the game using voice commands instead of the in-game menus from previous editions.
The voice commands can be used on offence and on defence, allowing the player to organise and switch up their play on the fly at the line of scrimage.
To use the commands, the player simply speaks "AUDIBLE" when the players are the line of scrimage and give one of the following commands:
