well to be honest i dont really care im still doin to buy madden for the ps3 and yey first comment

 

just one more attempt to hurt the PS3....  when will people learn???

I don't care for Madden anymore. Not much has changed for the series since 05. If EA is having problems with the hardware and specs, why don't they go talk to the guys at Insominac. They got it right the first time with Resistance. EA lazy mf!!

i have madden 08 and im fully satisfied with what i got f*ck frame rate

As I've said elsewhere, I'm not an EA hater, but their so-called "reasons" for their problems are little more than excuses. It needs to be remembered that the majority of developers have had the PS3 for the same amount of time as EA - in fact, given their position in the industry, EA have probably had it longer than most.

But when you see the results that others are getting already, it's difficult to see EA's story as little more than a smokescreen for what must be some pretty inept programmers.

Ubi have said that PS3 is no more difficult than any other system - just 'different'. And the CoD4 devs have stated on CharlieOscarDelta.com that they have the same 60fps framerate and AA on both PS3 and 360 versions of the game.

So come on, EA - get your finger out of your collective butt and put some effort into it!

This article doesn't hurt the PS3 at all justme911, read it. It's about how EA is still getting a grip on learning how to program for the PS3 and how developers were having problems with the 360 after it came out as well. He also mentioned that he finds it odd that Microsoft isn't getting all the bad publicity, because they've got the massive defection problem.

The recent Madden botch by EA Sports on the PS3 is a temporary bruise on the potential of the PS3 with consumers. We have to keep in mind that both Sony and Nintendo own a much larger popularity worldwide and that Madden only has a U.S. appeal. Whereas, it is truly Winning Eleven:Pro Evo that will need to be precise and even more excellent on the PS3 than any other sports game. While Madden will sell well in the U.S., this would not be nearly as noticed(just personal opinion not to be forced on anyone) if Lair and Warhawk both released on their original release dates. Many were looking to Madden in order to hold them over until the Heavenly Swords and Ratchet and Clanks of the world come out. I have talked with a few people who have decided not to get the PS3 until Metal Gear Solid comes out. Now, once Lair and Heavenly Sword are released, first party titles such as those may change their mind, but this is where the wait that Sony has put gamers through with First Party Titles, truely can make that bruise last a bit longer. At the end of the day, some will enjoy Madden, no matter how bad it is, simply because it is Madden.

i dont care wat they say im getting madden for my ps3 and im gone like i

psn id: gingo... i still stick with the story that EA were very very lazy in developing Madden for the ps3 because other games have got 60fps quite easily but since next years madden is being developed on ps3 that should make a huge difference. Michael Pachter really knows whats he talking about, everyone should respect this guys opinion

played madden, not impressed at all!!!!!!!!!!!! Feel sorry for who dropped $60 on that half-ass turd.. The game looks fuzzy & the load time is unexcusable. I'm glad I cancelled my preoder. I will most likely cancel the rest of my EA games. Not the ones their publishing, just the ones they are developing. I cancelled Burnout, Medal of Honor. There goes $120 to a developer who gives a damn about games. EA continue to make half-ass games for the WII-WII..

I GOT MY MADDEN NOT COMPLAINING; I DON'T CARE ABOUT FRAME RATE. EA HAS A WHOLE YEAR TO GET IT RIGHT FOR NEXT YEAR   

i don't think this will hurt the sales of the ps3. more so it will hurt the sales od EA  when the ps3 consumer dosen't buy EA products because of pooe quality and gameplay

There's a little thing called money, and it's cheaper to port to the PS3 from 360 than build it from the ground up for the PS3. They're not lazy, just smart in making it better on the better console (360).

Yea EA is just being smart by sucking the blood from consumers who buy their games. After buying that sorry excuse for a football game in NCAA 08 I didn't buy Madden 08 for the PS3.

i played madden on PS3 today. It seemed just fine to me. Well i havent seen it on 360 but whatever. It was just fine

just so everyone knows all pro football is the best football game on the ps3i brouht madden from gamestop on 08/17 and returned it to gamestop today 08/18 funny thing though the sales rep stated the day i brought the game it was the best football game on the market but when i returned it he stated the ps3 was trash sole because a game on a system he never played wasn't so great truthfully i could have kicked his backyard in ya dig for knowing that it not worth 60usd and since they tell you one thing about returns and do another i want you all to n the trade in valve is 33usd straight bullsish watch out on a final note visual studios first attempt looks better than ea's 2 maddens combined keep it coming can't wait till ea lose the nfl licence.

madden madden madden ... this game has not graphicly and gamplay changed since madden 06 for the 360 ..    stick madden 08 up your azz  !!!

oohh 1 football game big woop they make 1 every year my god ppl no way 1 crap game will affect ps3 wen so many great games like mgs4 killzone warhawk assasions creed haze and heaveny sword ect ect ect; are on there way??? wats the matter with ppl EA BUNCHA LAZY BASTeRDS MAKING GAMES FOR FUKIN MONEY and money only

Exactly.  Some of tThese analysts do not know what they are talking about.  Some people may be fed up with Madden in general.  This may not hurt PS3 sales, just Madden sales. 

Personally,i don't really care about third-party developers all that much because they need more time get acquinted with the architecture of any console,than the first party.So give them some time,becuz even EA has made it's fair share of good ps2 titles,but not from the get go obviously.

don't really care madden never did it for me its the same game with a roster update every year

Other people have made an entire game with the "new" PS3 hardware and yet EA couldn't figure it out? Ok fine w/e but screw the media and the other chicken littles (I loved that comment in the post) who run around slamming the PS3 over something that isn't Sony's fault.

Been playing Madden 08 all weekend, its not bad but not great.  Its very much like last year with some minor & cool new features.  Graphics seemed pretty much the same with a slight upgrade.  EA could have tried harder but it wouold probably have affected the release date,

No Buy, fo sure..............EA can stick up there uranus ( )

M$ and EA with Micheal Moore are trying big time to stick it to Sony.. Anyone who believes this crap that coming from the media and everyone else is just plain ignorant and doesnt even deserve to call him/herself a gamer.. F**k EA and M$

Bill gates and his tight little Bun hole will poo out bits of his penny's just to try poor sportmanship un ethical... plain low stunts against sony because they know they will only have their hand in the cookie jar for a little longer as facts proove that sony needs to sell their ps3 to not just gamers but people looking for an entertainment hub....SPORT GAMES SUCK ANYWAY.... i just want NFS. PRO STreet to be good.....ps3 will dominate as soon as the first developer figure out the trick to making is as fast it it could be.... blu-ray-free online-not money hungry microsoft... need i say more ... get a ps3 your balls want u 2...sport games should always suck to stop developers from making them... go play the sports u love so much u lazy Ducks

I think what investors need to look at is the inability of EA's programming team to come up with a meaningful game on the PS3.  It seems a little funny that no NHL 07 was available for the PS3 and that Tiger Woods 07 was a graphically inferior game.  What this points to, in this bloggers humble opinion is a sweet heart deal between Microsoft and EA.  In no way shape or form is the 360 a superior machine.  (Before you call me biased, I will tell you I own one and love Gears of War.)  So the question remains:  How could a company with such a history of hit games produce the kind of junk that it has recently, and only for one console?  Look deeper into the business relationships of the owner of EA and Microsoft.  Collusion anyone?  If that comes out with a little snooping, EA could be in for a terrible year on the stock market, and Microsoft back to court.
