And Wil Wright works for EA. If you do this, then Nintendo doesn't do Mario platforming games (they're Miyamato's brainchildren), Capcom doesn't do Mega Man (Inafune), and so forth.

You had a point when Wright was head of a unique company that happened to be owned by EA (Maxis), but that's no longer the case. He's simply in a division of EA, now, just like Miyamato, Itagaki, Pardo, and so forth.

Look I dont mean to be a little offensive but ea isnt really a good company in the gaming perpective. I havent seen not one game really that catches so much attention. Footbal games are nt worth paying 60buks for. Madden is at 60fps on the ps3 which is good, NCAA was at 30fps becuase of issues developing the game. Oh god why cant sony make there own footbal games? Baseball from sony is the best basebal games, basketball is ok, but why cant they make football games?

Madden isn't 60fps, EA just confirmed it in the link I posted above.

And a really good EA game coming out is Army of Two, which looks phenomenal. They are also publishing the Orange Box (Half Life) and don't forget Crysis.


Didint EA confirm madden was at 60fps a day ago?

Apparently, there was a mix up: http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/1590.html

This article was put up earlier today, quoted:

"A major recent controversy on the Internet has concerned the frame rate speed of several EA Sports productions; NCAA Football 08 and Madden NFL 08. Initially, we learned these games would only run at 30fps on the PS3 and 60fps on the Xbox 360, but a variety of reports over the past few months have led us to believe the PS3 version of Madden will also run at 60fps.

"However, the latest reports all came about from a recent interview with the EA team working on Madden, and the 60fps comment was misquoted. With so many people questioning the actual running speed of the game, we just had to get a once-and-for-all official answer from our EA contact...and we got one today. It was about as clear and straightforward as humanly possible, and it lays all rumors to rest-

""Madden will NOT be at 60 fps on PS3," said EA's Tyrone Miller."

So ... no ... Madden for the PS3 will not run at 60fps, sadly.

Can you forgive my ignorance on american football and such but... how is that almost everyone likes college football better than pro-football? Isn't professional supposed to be better?

I think college football is bigger simply because it's on a grander scale.

There are 32 football teams in the NFL - Pro Football.

There are literally hundreds of football teams in college football, depending on which division you are looking at. So, the following is a bit bigger, I think.

 Same thing happens with basketball.  Actually...

The US likes Pro Football more than Pro Basketball, but...
The US is MADLY IN LOVE with college basketball, even more than their flings with college football.
