PS3 Fanboy

I almost forgot about Home...I can't wait.

I really think Maddens big problem is that it is on too many consoles...many of which are obsolete like the GameBoy Advance and the Original Xbox. With so many consoles they simply don't have enough time to make it good on all consoles year after year.

ps3 can do better animation than 360 so that would make player models and better collision between players

The problem with Madden is that they are greedy. They have sole rights to the NFL, they have strip mined the game, raised the price $10 and then sell back to us the content they took out. It's a massive shame. The game sucks now.

When is that open beta supposed to be out? First it was July...but July is over? ...oh yeah and EA are just lazy people.

the 30fps thing is probably due to architectural differences. PS3's certainly isn't inferior, just different, PS3's architecture is CPU dominated, much like the PS1's, and trying to shoehorn in a code that relies more on a CPU/GPU balance (like the 360, or worse the Wii's complete CPU/GPU independence, not that it matters in this case) probably offsets it a bit

Ooooooof! Mr Harrison really kicks EA in the nuts! Roughly translated Mr Harrison states that "We've provided all devs with all the kit and support they need to get PS3 games up to 60fps but EA are simply too concerned about churning out games to meet both deadlines and bottom line costs to bother about quality.".
This is only one step down from spraying the EA HQ in slurry and posting videos of it on youtube!

Tell it like it is Phil. EA did not spend enough time making the PS3 version of Madden 08 the best it could be. It is completely EA's fault. Watch and see, next year's PS3 Madden will be 60fps without a hitch. Thanks to probably some kind of Microsoft payoff, 360 owners have a better football game for a whole year.

At least we get the superior Pro Evo Soccer 2008! Konami knows to treat the local boys right.

Basically what Phil is trying to say is that Sony gave EA the updated tools - probably last spring like they were doing with everyone else - and EA has chosen NOT to implement them so that they could release the game on time and (probably) on budget. You can tell it is frustrating to him, especially since the OTHER football games RUN at 60fps... I don't blame him! All the devs complained about hard to use and incomplete dev kits, and as soon as Sony provides them with superior updates, THE DEVS DONT USE THEM! And EA keeps proving they don't deserve exlusive licenses again and again... =S

(And now that Mr. Moore is with them, it can only get worse!) =(

I don't mind so much that madden is running at 30 FPS, the problem is that it's BETTER for 360!
That's BS.

This is funny, I bet you're absolutely right that Phil dreams about his responses to these things-- that's his job, and right now, his job is crucial-- his dreams will likely be more pleasant after Holiday '07.

It was good that he politely responded to the 30fps drama with the correct information: it's not that the ps3 can't do it-- so where does that leave us? Where we've always been, with EA, one of those companies that just doesn't care about frame rate (we're looking at you, Carbon).

Gotta say; I like Phil. He really does a great job overall, and says far fewer cringe-worthy things than his buddies at Sony seem to.

"Sony's own titles are running at full 1080p with 60fps" - Not Heavenly Sword - 720p sucks for us with 1080i only Sets

anddddd im guessing most of the people posting here believe in the 9/11 conspiracy theories??

I thought EA came out and said the PS3 Madden would actually be 60fps?

Honestly the only EA game I buy is Madden. I don't mind them making money but it has become obvious EA no longer cares about making a quality product to get it. The next gen Madden the last two years has been complete crap. I bought both and returned both for the PS2 version because they sucked so bad, they had fewer features than the PS2 version for more money.

EA really needs a wake-up call, they don't care anymore and don't care if anyone knows it.
