Anyone seen this video yet? Tell me this isn't from the finished version of the game...

And yet reviewers dish out 9's a plenty for 08 on the 360. 

I was stating my disappointment for the Wii version in another thread yesterday. It feels so much less intutive 
than 07, and a good deal more buggy to boot, yet it gets great reviews as well. Even Gamespot, who don't seem to like the Wii and give harsher reviews in general to most games gave it an 8.

It's crazy.

Wow, it's shocking how fast this went from "EA is being lazy because they didn't get the PS3 up to 60fps like the 360's!" to "EA makes shit games anyway".

It's like when a kid can't get what he wants, and so he pouts about it and pretends he doesn't care anymore.

You're not fooling anyone.



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%

If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

Lol, I wonder if any of this discussion over EA sucking would have come up if the PS3 had gotten the better version?

EA never made a sports game that took advantage of the X-box and Gamecube's superior power, so we know the answer to that question Sporticus.

I decided that I would support Ea this year and prove to them Playstation is still hame to madden. I believe next year when the PS3 has a lot of momentum and Ea starts to utilize the Edge software from Sony we will see a flip. Next years Madden should be the one that looks like the Trailer in 05. This year they cramed what they could from the 3 cores of the 360 onto the 1 in the PS3 and whatever wouldn't fit they just degraded. Next year I think PS3 will be the lead platfrom and they will makje use of the 6 SPU's and actually make a PS3 game.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I'm confused. If this is the second Madden for the PS3, then shouldn't it be at least as good as the first one for it? Or was the first one bad too?

And shouldn't this game be running at 60 fps with only 20% of the capacity of the cell processors being used, or something like that? Or is football just too complicated for the cell (oooo, that's major trolling -- I was just kidding!)

They need to do a recall on that game and get it right. That's disrespect'n the PS3!

 1. It was 30fps last year.

 2. the 20% is how much they can fit in the memory. They chould use all of the Cell, but no one yet knows how to fit all of it in the RAM right now.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

 May I ask why you belive PS3 will be the lead plattform next year? Madden is a USA franchise and that the only market were xbox360 still is selling.
