Okay so I am sure this has been talked about all over, but I just don't see anyone making sense of it. The recent news that the 360 version of madden will run at 60fps while the ps3 version will run at half that is alarming. I have heard all kinds of ridiculous reasonings and its doesn't surprise me considering how ridiculous the situation is. I dont want to play madden and if i did id play it on my 360 ( i cant get free games on my ps3 YET).

But WHY 30fps? PS3 cant handle it? BS! Oblivion was one of the most vast, open, detailed, demanding, games that have been out so far on ps360 and it was arguably better on the ps3. It was smoother, Prettier, and had faster loading times. So Why can't a big company like EA do what a small company like Bethesda did for a multi-plat port? We gamers (360 and ps3 owners) cannot forget that it is possible to make these games for both run great. If we let EA set some sort of made up precedent of lowered expectation we are letting them rob us. OBLIVION set the record straight with its release on the ps3 now we got ea half assing. And these m$groupies are eating it up.

I got the 360 when it came out and I wasn't too impressed ever, not even w/ gow, so I HOPED something else would be better and got the ps3. Now i got to get my xbox360 out of its box to get 60fps on ea's games? I want 1080p60, not 720p30 or even 60. !!!! :( ok I'm done.

Because it would be a waste of their money due to the lack of PS3 sales, so they just want a quick and easy way to make money by making crap and selling it.

First of all, every other Madden has run at 30 going back to the PS2 versions, so another Madden at 30fps is far from "alarming." The fact of the matter is that this was EA's first full year of development for a Madden game, where as its the 360s second. Developers need time to learn new technology (ie. the cell processor and programming for it). Some developers are learning faster than others which is always the case. As time progresses you will see more and more games being written to run at 60fps smoothly on the PS3.

Anyone who said the PS3 can't handle it is either a moron or a fanboy.
