Not sure why such EA hate. Yes, Madden 08 could be visually improved but to the sports gamers, this is Madden. It still looks FUN and is a good past time between games on sunday when you get together with buddies and play. hell, I remember how we used to have 2 TV's together. 1 for madden, 1 for NFL.
The animations looked good, nice moves from the players and the closeups/replays were cool.

Because the gameplay, online, commentary, etc. sucks. Because they only make such minor improvement year over year, you're mainly paying for updated rosters. Because their competition outclassed them in so many areas that their only recourse was to buy everyone out and create a monopoly over the sport.
Had they actually put as much time and energy into improving their titles instead of finding new ways to milk the market, there wouldn't be such EA hate.
Yeah the animation looks good, Gabe Logan good.
Maybe some more time is needed, perhaps in some year(s) same type of titles form EA will run at 60fps on the PS3. Neverthless saying percentage of how one part of a system is utilized is quite worthless. This since what counts is the whole system (CPU, GPU, RAM, subsytems). So if a dev says that 30% of Cell is utilized doesn't automatically translate in to 30% of total system computing power.
perhaps madden 09 would fair alot better if what they say is true as ps3 is rumoured to b the lead platform.

People love to shit on EA when graphical mediocre games like Konami's soccer game is allowed to skate through untouched. Hypocrisy is tasty.
I very seriously doubt this. You know who runs EA Sports now, Mr. Peter Moore. EA and MS seems to be in buddy-buddy mode now. Microsoft with the price drop with Madden in the press release. EA using Xbox versions of Madden for Madden Bowl and the celebrity premieres of Madden. I don't see a 180 from this. Every day, I see a new video on Live for Madden by lead producer David Ortiz of EA Tiburon. People seem to miss this but when you look at the previous MS conferences, they have given Madden a role in all of them. Like how Infinity Ward was up there on the stage and UBI Montreal. Third party publishers remember things like that when the console manufacturer will share the spotlight with you. The others don't do that.

Unless Moore is an idiot (which I doubt) he'll want both versions to run virtually the same.
He won't have any loyalty now, he's working for EA and they will want to sell loads on both platforms and if they keep on releasing substandard versions on PS3 they might find PS3 users start looking elsewhere.

What kind of demented logic is this?
Moore is an idiot if he wants the two versions to be the same. Really he is.
You allways want the biggest userbase to be the lead platform (this more or less instantly makes it the better version aswell). You want the best possible game for the biggest userbase, not so much for something that has half the userbase.
cheers, so basically the console players get shafted cause theres no competition.Heh, you don't know much about Madden, do you
EA have an exclusive license deal with the football association of the USA, the NFL. Nobody else can produce football games referring to real-life, contemporary football teams - and fans playing this game want to play with their favorite team.
looking at wiki
aint that the truth, it doesnt mention when the license runs out
It's running at 1080p w/ 4xAA and 60fps on the PS3 and 640x480 w/ extra aliasing and 30fps on the 360.
they are both 720p
toysrus.com has a printable 20% off coupon good this week.
Coupon worked!
Not only that, they are letting you buy a game for 50% off at the same time when you buy Madden 08 this week.
But the second game can't be another Madden 08 or the 08 versions of Nascar and NCAA.
Too bad there was nothing else I really wanted. Would have gotten Lair maybe if it came out today as originally scheduled.
