"The PS3 difference.: Sadly, just like with NCAA Football 08 and All-Pro Football 2K8, PS3 owners are stuck with an inferior version of Madden. While the game runs at 60 frames per second on Microsoft's box, Madden only clocks in at 30fps on Sony's console. The result? The gameplay isn't nearly as smooth as the 360 version and even stutters at times (see the difference in this comparison video). And that's the reason why we're scoring the PS3 edition slightly lower."

"For PS3 owners, this isn't as exciting. Madden 08 runs (sometimes) at 30 frames per second. It makes a huge difference, as you lose a lot of the subtleties in the animations. There are plenty of framerate hitches that will likely frustrate players. This can cause a lag in the Hit Stick sometimes. And, let's face it, no one wants to see a runningback pause for a second in mid air as the framerate stutters. You can still play and mostly enjoy Madden, but beware that on PS3 the game does not run smoothly."

"Closing Comments
Madden NFL 08 on PS3 is no a great game. It is a shadow of its cousin on 360. Though the feature set is identical, the drop to an unstable 30fps hurts considerably. The visuals and the gameplay suffer. If you are a real Madden nut and think you can fight through the framerate issues, Madden is an overall good game. It just doesn't run very well."

Joystiq always gets its news from other sources. Joystiq is a melting pot of game news gathered from all over the place. They don't go out and "make" the news, unless they're at a press conference or major event.

I will leave that alone!!!

But what if that turd is golden? Did I just blow you mind?

Yes, perhaps is was made by the goose that lays the golden turds. Back on subject... Don't really care which one is better, its still madden and I still ain't gonna play the golden turd laying goose game.

The Xbox 360 is the established console, and thusly is more widely accepted. Not to mention the larger user base. It's in the same situation the PS2 was last gen.

Most commercials for multiplatform games do not display the PS3 logo, but in stead use the Playstation Family logo. The same is true for PS2.

LOL

Wasnt it USA today that mentioned that the 360 is a defective piece of junk? So lets see, somewhat inferior version of a lousy franchise on a rock-solid console versus better version on a crappy machine that might blow up anytime.

"Just wait until [insert favorite PS3 game you've been waiting on forever"
Its about 10 months from launch, and maybe 4-5 decent games. I am just curious to know how it was with your "easier to program for" 360, I believe you had like 10 or 20 great titles to choose from in August last year? Like Perfect dark zero, kameo, 99 nights?


Bottomline is...the game plays well enough on both and

Madden Xbox 360: Sharper imaging and less stutter / better Frame rate
Madden PS3: Can be resold at EB next year for about 2$

Sony did not make the game Einstein! Peter Moo...I mean EA sports did.

Along with the other 99% of the developers out there that are also working on trying to bring games to the PS3... /nod

LMAO @ douchebox. That's so ridiculous it's funny.

I compared the reviews at IGN, and to be honest, none of them are getting ratings that are mind blowing. It seems they've dished everyone a fine plate of mediocre.

This is the perfect reason why a lack of competition isn't good. Madden's a cash cow, so it doesn't matter how the game turns out. It just sucks that the consumer doesn't get the oppotunity to choose.

...Derrick, please get out. Now.

"BLAME IT ON EA.... EA ARE LAZY IDIOTS WHO FAIL EACH TIME THEY TRY TO PORT A GAME TO THE PS3. THE PS3 IS HEADS AND TAILS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE DOUCHEBOX, BUT EA IS TOO STUPID TO HARNESS THAT POWER."

Haha. I'm actually giving this plus 1, just for "douchebox".

"I mean, why aren't these people petitioning to get all their money back on the PS3 in general? It makes more sense then this! SNARF!"

Why can't anyone on the internet spell "than"?

That link makes me depressed.

Yes, I realized I misspelt "than" as well, after seeing my "they're" mistake, but didn't see fit to add another post saying I had realized that as well. Until now. So :P

They should just recall the PofS3 and stick with the PS2 or buy an Xbox 360.

So why does Oblivion and Dirt look better on the ps3?

pissass3 gayass3 slowass3

um because a PS3 costs 200 more dollars ? and the few games that come out need to at least look good or even less people will buy them ??

IGN posted the same impression:

"There are plenty of framerate hitches that will likely frustrate players. This can cause a lag in the Hit Stick sometimes. And, let's face it, no one wants to see a runningback pause for a second in mid air as the framerate stutters. You can still play and mostly enjoy Madden, but beware that on PS3 the game does not run smoothly."

And why is it Sony fans always say the same old thing when news like this is reported? "What doess [x publication] know about games?" Apparently they knew enough after they got their hands on it, made a comparison and came to a conclusion. Shit, that sort of thing's hard to do! But god forbid this kind of story might be realyed to the general mass population instead of the gamers visiting IGN, because we all know that's the true majority. Sheesh.
