I hate to say it, but get the 360 version:

"Now, while the PS3 version includes the same Sixaxis controls that were found in the launch version of last year's Madden for the PS3, the largest technical flaw that crops up has to be the fact that the game doesn't run at 60 frames a second. For one thing, once you've gotten used to playing any game at 60 (including Madden on the PS3, which ran at a faster frame rate), going back to 30 feels like you're moving through molasses. For a sport where making split second moves is important, this halving of the speed really throttles down your plays, forcing you to sometimes over-anticipate passes or defensive jumps. It's really disappointing that the game was shipped this way; if anything, it would've been much better had the game been shipped a month or two later once the game could actually be optimized at 60 fps. Even worse, the PS3 version is locked at 720p as its maximum output, which isn't anywhere near as good as the 360's 1080i and 1080p settings. You'll notice the difference on everything from character models to shrine textures, and it doesn't look nearly as sharp as it should." --IGN  http://ps3.ign.com/articles/806/806767p3.html

Now, the important thing here is that 60fps Madden is confirmed for the PS3.

Too bad I prefer NCAA...*sigh*...I'll probably still get it because I like recruiting. Can anyone tell me if recruiting processing times are faster than the PS2 versions? Is there an install option?

Edit: Wow, I just noticed this game wasn't on the Wii. Talk about a huge third-party let-down...this is one game I don't care about graphics much in, too...very strange, because it is on the PS2 and Xbox.
