I'm not sure how true the "all versions built from the ground up" statement is. I suspect the PS3 version borrows heavily from the 360 version, just as the Wii version(which I just bought) obviously borrows from the old PS2 version. On the Wii version of Madden some things, like the playing field, look great, while the players faces(which I came across while looking through menus/options) look like play-doe sculptures. So I'm calling BS on the "from the ground up" line from EA.
The PS3 framerate issue is most likely due to devs not being familiar enough with working on the PS3. I'd bet it's a non-issue next year. It's great that a mainstream paper like USA Today is (basically)telling the ignorant masses that the PS3 just can't handle the load, which is pretty silly.
