I'm wondering if there's any major (negative) commentary from the 360/Wii/PS2 versions of the game.

Otherwise, it just sounds like EA is picking sides in this generation (which in all fairness is completely their call -- the PS3 is expensive as hell to develop for, and holds less than a sixth of the market right now)

Well, I heard the Wii version is quite good, but that the online part is close to impossible to play. People have complained about lag and unresponsive controls when passing and kicking (controller movements not working like 50% of the time). But again that's just for online, and most Wii people may not care as much about online. Also I think there's a rumor EA is going to fix the issues. And the rest of the game is supposedly quite good, whereas the PS3 version sounds truly broken.

Broken? Wow. The Wii version is basically for kids and non-hardcore football fans from what I've read. But hey, don't take my word for it...

Title	Plat	Company	Reviews	Avg. Vote	Avg Score
1. Madden NFL 08	PC	EA Sports	1	1.0	92.0%
2. Madden NFL 08	X360	EA Sports	14	7.6	87.5%
3. Madden NFL 08	PS3	EA Sports	9	5.0	84.9%
4. Madden NFL 08	PS2	EA Sports	1	1.0	79.0%
5. Madden NFL 08	DS	EA Sports	2	1.0	77.0%
6. Madden NFL 08	WII	EA Sports	4	5.0	74.8%
7. Madden NFL 08	PSP	EA Sports	3	1.0	74.3%

 

You know, I have not played it and I know nothing about the PS3 version aside from the criticisms on various forums like this one. When I say the PS3 version "sounds broken", I'm taking the above complaints by dgm6780 at face value, as no one has disputed any of the specifics in this thread so far.

If it's getting an 85% score then maybe dgm6780 and others are just whiners and the game is fine?

Pretty much. 

How clueless some are..

 The PS3 version is busted compared to other versions. No other way around it.
