EA Tech Responds to Madden 30 FPS on PS3

Translation: since we crank these things out every year, we don't have time to actually write a decent next-gen engine. Sucks for you PS3 owners!Teufelhuhn

Translation: 360 has been out longer and we know more about the system than the PS3, therefore it is easier for us to program for it right now.

Wow, what a surprise....just like I've been saying.

This is the 3rd 360 Madden and the 2nd PS3 Madden......I wonder if that had anything to do with it ;)

He does pretty much say they aren't the only ones that can't get their games to run as smoothly on PS3 as 360. Which proves two things, they set the bar higher on the 360, and it performs better which completely destroys the concept that the PS3 is more powerful than 360.

It's worth noting that the reason We've had 3 madden games and Cow's have only had 2 is because of Sony. Microsoft launching earlier has had a positive effect on games and is something worth noting. Right now, almost every multiplat is better on 360 because of this reason. Well done MS.

Do you think Madden will ever run at 60fps on the PS3?

At least they didnt blame the PS3 hardware like UbisoftEPaul

yea he did, but soft like.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the issues you've found with Madden NFL 08 for the PlayStation 3 game console. While we fully understand your frustration with the limitations the technology has placed against the video frames per second of the game play on the PlayStation 3 game console, it was out intent to put out the best possible with Madden across 10 platforms. While it is very simple to draw a conclusion based on the end-user experience with the game technology, what most people do not realize is hours of research which goes into fully understanding the hardware demands for each console. In the case of the next-generation consoles, many publishers have been developing titles for the Xbox 360 for over 3 1/2 years while everyone who publishes now for the PlayStation 3 with the exception of Sony has been developing for the PlayStation 3 for only a little over one full year. The differences in the overall knowledge of the hardware is vastly different for both consoles and, as is the case with newer technology, it is very difficult to get it right the first time. As for frame-rate differences, 30 frames per second is the same for all PS 3 football games this year, not just Madden but also NCAA Football, and 2K Sports' offering as well. If you choose not to purchase the game, it is a choice fully understand and respect. Please know that I have passed your feedback and observations on to the game team and hopefully someone within their team will be able to address this matter further.

Sincerely,

so turns out EA says its because they didnt know the PS3 well enoughGarchomPro

oh i like this part the best. "if you choose not to purchase the game" one or two things here. either you a GD liar or this guy will be fired. no company no not going to tell you not to purchase there game for one. and second they would never even mention another company name I.E. 2k in anything. WOW...

summary: the 360 is out longer so they understand the hardware better. They had less than a year to figure out the ps3. The next one will be better.

see, mine is boring because it's accurate

rushing a console is not a good thing. higher and worst defective rates are the side effects.

Yeah, it's also worth noting that the same reason we have had 3 Madden games and what not is the same reason that your 360 is bound to spontaneously combust into flames at any second. Well done MS :roll:

sound like they're in the same mind as Ubi...

the ps3's hardware blows....

then again, it wasn't designed as a game machine, per Sony...

Yeah spot-on.Its quite pathetic actually.EA are gonna make a ton of money out of this game and they can't be bothered to make that extra effort to get the game running on par with the 360 game.All this tells me is that EA despise their audience,but when have thay ever been in it for anything else but money?

Translation: since we crank these things out every year, we don't have time to actually write a decent next-gen engine. Sucks for you PS3 owners!Teufelhuhn

Yes i think it translate to We can't delay the game like every other game made for Ps3 just so we can make it run run as well as it does on other platforms.

Killzone 2 disagrees.
