Madden next year will be 60fps on the PS3.  That's not the point.

I guess no one on this site is a fan of NCAA.  I have a lot of friends that buy it most years, and I would be very upset if I only had a Wii this entire year.  

I guess only Madden matters, though.  Geez.  Why doesn't EA just skip every sports game on the Wii, because people apparently don't care.  Just play Wii Sports for a few years, I guess. 

Are you just trying to start a flamewar? So no one is up in arms about NCAA not being on the Wii, big deal. Move on.

It actually is a big deal.  Any other million seller and people are going crazy about it. 

There is no way you can logically twist crappy third party games into being Sony's fault. "But teh Cell is haurd 4 2 delvelp gaemz!" No. There is no hardware that makes EA forget to make sure Randy Moss doesn't dance through walls.

Yes, the N64's hardware caused third parties to desert it. That is because N64 could not do much in the way of cinematics because of lack of storage except at great cost in extra storage space on the cartridge. The PS3 has no such handicap; in fact it has more storage, a fact that Sony claims will be a large advantage over the other systems in years to come.

The PS3's supposedly hard-to-develop-for hardware is exactly one thing: unusual architecture of the processor. Madden '08 is apparently a train wreck on PS3. The Cell didn't do that; perhaps, as I heard someone hypothesize, EA just figured that the Cell's PPC was similar to one of the cores in the Xenon and just dumped all the work onto the PPC while ignoring the SPEs.

In any case, Sony shouldn't have to watch third parties like a hawk to make sure they aren't putting digital diarrhea into their games.

And I agree that EA seems to be taking shovelware to an entirely new level. Isn't it enough that you come out with a new version of the same damn game every single year? Can't you even be bothered with the "new version" part anymore?

[edit: PS @ windbane:  as the biggest third party publisher, they have the resources.  They just are greedy or lazy.  Most probably both.] 

 they should put more effort into it then "meh" because they are still charging full next gen prices.  i wouldn't be complaining if they put sold thier "meh" product for the "meh" price of $40.  its not even a completed game, they didnt even try quality testing it.  

I still havent heard anyone speculate if they think a patch will be forthcoming?  in the past madden hasnt had

gameplay patches and just roster updates. but usually the game isnt this broken 

and their incentive is maintaining/improving their reputation and not putting out crap products.  i have swore off EA as a result of this years

 Madden. 

I totally agree. If they don't put in full effort, don't charge full price.

Whoa whoa Legend11.. wait a second... how the hell can you say this is sony's fault for Madden sucking massive **** for PS3?

Check it,  its like when XYZ releases a shitty game for nintendo and its nintendo's fault. Hell no.

Ea has fallen off big time. They should have released the game at $39.99 If they're making a half ass version of their beloved franchise.

Do you ever see any big time companies do stuff like this? Release half ass broken games?? Hell no!

First it was their NBA franchise flopping and getting absolutely destroyed by 2K Sports.

And now this?

Well final word is more customers for 360... even more less now for PS3.

How clueless some are..

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

Look at the percentages you quoted.  84.9% is broken?

Talk about clueless...
