Um, no it isn't. Sports games, like beat 'em ups or certain action games (e.g. Devil May Cry) have limited amounts of bodies and animations within a limited field of play, so that's not an issue. If the PS3 really had such a tough time with framerates, then "Resistance" and "Killzone 2" would not be possible.
I don't think EA is evil or got bought off by Microsoft, it's just budgeting and time schedules. The 360 has a larger install base than the PS3 (6 million versus, what, 1.7 million) so EA made the perfectly rational decision to focus slightly more developer resources on the 360 version. Remember, sports games have an unforgiving schedule - you HAVE to produce the title by a certain time.
