PS3 Madden Lags Behind Xbox 360 Gameplay

It's official -- Madden NFL 08 gameplay is just better on Xbox 360 compared to on PS3. EA Sports appears to find it easier to work with Microsoft's console to bring out the faster framerate.

Website 1UP recently reviewed both versions, and while PlayStation 3 got a respectable 8.5, the 360 rated a 9. So why the disparity?

"Sadly, just like with NCAA Football 08 and All-Pro Football 2K8, PS3 owners are stuck with an inferior version of Madden," 1UP explained. "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 Playstation 3 edition slightly lower."

Another example of EA being lazy.

No, their always lazy. Just so happens they can get away with it on the 360 (sorta).

EA have always been lazy, if they put more effort, they would have the best games out there...

every1 just uses the excuse that ps3 is hard 2 work with, so why not put in that little more effort and make it easy 2 work with by workin out bad parts and no wat ur doin etc?

maybe theyve lost faith in the ps3 knowing they might be speniding money on developing games for a console that might not make that money back, but for the ps3 to really pick up the 3rd party developers need faith and to stick by it for better or worse which is a bit of a gamble and from a shareholders view this is not a wise decision

sony you went too far this time £400 is not adequate, so maybe i get a blue-ray player and an extremely powerfull console, but i can get an xbox 360 elite and a hd-dvd player for less

It actually costs more to buy a 360 with equivalent spec. Add a bigger hard drive and wifi etc your spending over $100 more.

If EA put more effort into making this game for the PS3 (like most of you are complaining they should have done,) it would cost them more in development costs. Since many more people own a 360 than a PS3, it seems pointless to them to spend more money on a game that won't sell as well.
