It seems that the programming difficulties of the PS3 are seriously affecting the quality of some major third party games. Lets hope EA and others come to grip with it by next year.

No,bum ass developers are affecting the quality of games. Sonys nba game is doing 1080p at 60fps, Ea just sucks. |
First of all as freedquaker says its the publishers that are the problem. If the developer is given a short time frame, they either have to cut corners or lose the job to a development house that will do what is necessary to get the game out by the publishers deadline. Secondly, its foolish to compare a football game to basketball game. A football game has to render a larger stadium, 22 players, referees, and the coaches/players on the sidelines. There are more football players on one teams sideline than their are basketball players on a court. A baskeball game has to render a small arena, 10 players, referees, and coaches/players on the sidelines. An NBA roster has 10 players, and NFL roster has 53, do the math Hus. Also, All Pro Football 2K8 also runs at 60fps on 360 and 30fps on PS3. In other words, the PS3's architecture is not completely blameless in this situation. Factor 5 is having frame rate issues with Lair and Factor 5 is most definitely NOT lazy. |
The ps3 is not the problem, its that theY PORT THE 360 VERSION ON THE PS3 VERSION WHEN THEY FINISH THE 360 VERSION that's easy money for them and they dont give a F if the ps3 version looks crappy since they still make money of it. Sony already said its not the problem, look at baseball it runs at 60fps, and its a way bigger feild than basketball courts.

Yes the PS3 is the problem. It takes more time to get the same performance and sports games have a strict release schedule since they release on a yearly basis. They have been working on both versions since they finished up Madden 07. The Wii version of Madden 08 looks significantly better than Madden 07 and still maintains a 60fps framerate because the hardware is easier to develop on.
As for the Baseball comparsion, its not much better than the basketball one. There are 10 players on the field in a baseball game. The hitter and the 9 players on defense. You can add to that the three umpires, a batter in the on deck circle, the crowd, and the stadium. Because of the slower pace, a baseball game is probably less intensive to render than even a basketball game.
