I'm sure they also docked points for "bizarrely-pixilated crowds"

Yes depth of field effect and full 3d crowd were lost in the port over. I'm pretty sure the game lacks the 4xAA used in the 360 version. Also motion blur on fighters has gone, which is kinda a bad loss, it helped smooth the animation and made the game feel faster than 30fps, the animation looks very juddery on the ps3 because of the lack of motion blur.
Overall the only thing that got improved where the fighter textures and normal maps, which is generally more related to the source models they're exporting that data from.
The framerate problems are unacceptable, 360 version was rock solid and overall is pushing a lot more geometry on screen and effects i think.

Would the fact that EA Canada made the PS3 version and EA Chicago made the X360 version be a factor, in terms of talent/policy on what makes the best overall experience etc?
Both versions started development at roughly the same time. Supposed PS3 footage was actually the first footage shown at E3.
EA supposedly had two seperate teams for each system to get the best quality out of each system. I don't think it had anything to do with one team being more talented than the other. And when you think about it they had 8 extra months of dev time for this version.

I can understand the slow down in a launch window title. True there was a 6 month delay and the game had a lot of extra dev time, but getting into the launch window is HARD. But the pixelated crowd... eww! Someone please introduce the devs to geometry instancing!
What then did you think made the difference between both console versions if you're excluding the developer factor?
I think both developers were atleast evenly matched. And even if (extremely small chance IMO) the PS3 devs were inferior. EA still had 8 months for the "superior" 360 devs to help the "inferior" devs get the performance on this game up.
I don't believe for a second that EA would put an inferior developer on the PS3 though. That just seems silly given how the past 2 generations played out.
I'll make no claims to know what caused this version to turn out the way it did. And unfortunately this is not the first multiplatform release we've read to have performance issues. I'm sure we'll get the answers in due time.

No kidding! Those pixelly cardboard "people" stick out like lone neon sign at midnight! X_x
And these guys had like 8 months from the completion of the 360 version to port the game over to PS3, with at least 6 months on final dev kits. This is totally mind boggling to me. And inexcusable.
Kudo's (or whatever his name is) team had already started working on Def Jam had they not, which would explain why EA gave the porting duties to another team.
From everything we know this wasn't a port. They were being developed simultaneously.

Well I don't think they were oblivious to this trick, since the 360 version uses it ALOT.
A crowd in the 360 version is fully 3d (except in the huge stadiums), and looks good, but it's basically consists of 4 character models, with no variation, all doing 2 animations, in synch, with no variation. To make it worse, they group em together, so you'll see like 6 "guy with the striped shirt" standing together, all waving their hand in the air at the exact same time, beside them wil be 5 of the 'lady in the white blouse,' it really falls apart on close inspection.
I really would've hoped that given the extra devtime, they would've actually improved this not taken a step backward, crowds should be more varied, with more animations, that are staggered and not in synch.
Must be a CPU issue.
They weren't, there is/was an interview on IGN a few months ago that stated quite clearly that they ported the 360 code.
It's too early to say. We will see what happens at the end of next year and even that maybe too early.
