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.

Why do you "hate to say it"?

 



Well, Wii is getting Madden. I still do not see what the difference is between both. Players?



-Where oh where could my little Wii be?

-Right next to my big screen TV.

*Wishful thinking ey?*

i hate EA sports. Boycott their games, to help stop a monopoly on sports games.

You know I favor the PS3.  I own one, and have no current plans to buy a 360.

Dynasty mode is much better on NCAA Football.  It's also a completely different experience if you like College Football.

And yet no Wii version.  Odd.

Oh, I see. It's fanboysim. I can accept that.

The only thing they have a monopoly on is the NFL license.  All-Pro Football was a attack at that.

EA does not have a monopoly because anyone else is free to develop sports games.  EA just happens to be the only company that tries to create every sports game (Rockstar owns the Table Tennis sport, though, and Sony is head on baseball usually).

I see no reason to boycott the best college football game. 



I think it's sloppy that NCAA couldn't get 60fps, but Madden could. Did they have a reason???

Development time I assume.  It's the same reason that last year's 360 Madden had far fewer features and actually reviewed lower than the PS2 version.  This is the first NCAA on the PS3.  I assume next year they will get it right.

But geez, I'd rather them delay it a month...maybe they will patch it...hah, right...
