EA Sports To Release Madden NFL on Facebook Social Network

In an interview with Bloomberg Television, EA Sports president Peter Moore revealed that Electronic Arts will introduce a “simpler” version of Madden NFL to the Facebook social network.

“We have to make Madden more accessible,” said Peter Moore in an interview with Bloomberg Television today. “You’ll see us on Facebook going forward.” According to the report, Electronic Arts is looking to capitalize on the surging popularity of Facebook as a games platform, particularly after its recent acquisition of social web game studio Playfish. Moore said that the Facebook version of Madden would be a “simpler experience” than the console game.
