EA tech responds to Rants about Madden '08 on the PS3 *Updated*

i have played both versions of the game, i have the 360 version and a friend of mine is the manager at the gamestop let me play him in the ps3 version of the game. the 360 version is clearly better than the ps3 version animation wise and framerate wise.

the part where ea said all football games for ps3 had 30 fps reminded me of office space. 30 is the BARE MINIMUM although look at xbox360 hes at 60fps because hes expressing himself. but instead of the ps3 doing the bare minimum its eas fault

His response was to be expected. Seriously, it isn't EA's fault, nor is it Sony's. They explicitly stated that they've only been developing for the PlayStation 3 for little over one full year, which is about two years less than on the Xbox 360. Simply put, they are still learning the ins and outs of the hardware, just like every other developer in the world. Even if they are EA, they're still only human. Expect next year's version to run at 60 frames-per-second once they get to grips with the console's architecture.

did the devs take this long to understand the 360?Decko5

Actually, yes, they did. Both Madden 06 and 07 ran at 30 frames-per-second on the 360.

Then why are you here?

And in here no matter what we use GS scores, mods, fanboys, non fanboys agreed on this when Zelda flopped. Cant change it now when you want owange.

TheOwnerOner

Because its fun watching Cows hide behind GS reviews after all those bias accusations.

PS3 got a free pass to damn right ownage, thanks to a flawed scoring system.

have u ever had a discussion with Casey? no? thought so...

Ok, forget the comments, read the title... now read the OP... now look at your post, looks off-topic now doesn't it?

/thread.

in fact, they are achieving even greater results with the ps3 within the same time gap.

You all do realize that this is an e-mail from EA Tech Support right? In other words, the same guy you would call if your copy of the Sims didn't work, and you needed a replacement. This person doesn't have a clue about EA'sgame development.bluebrad1974

wow actually i'm really surprised that this has been mentioned in what? the 7th page?

so do people really think that this guy just wipped the answer out of his ass? or do you think that this issue is well known and discussed among most employees? plus the guy sorta gave a tentative answer as he said "i forwarded the letter" to the... other guys (i need to read the OP again :P)... ANWAYS thoughts people?

and 360 is going to stand still devs on PS3 catch up.

should have sent the letter to Sony asking why they made poor hardware that no one can program for. PS3 been out for 1 1/2 years. devs started work on it before that. anyone heard of those things called ps3 dev kits that were distributed in 2005.

dev kits of 360 have been distrubuted since early 2004, but no one can deny that the PS3 is hard to program for but we can't blame sony, cuz u know the scapegoat has already taken the blame and got kicked out *coughkenkutaragicough*

you lie. dev kits just came out before 2005 E3. sure if you call the PC the 360 dev kit, it's been out for years. thats cos MS was intelegent enough to leverage current dev experience when designing a game console.

[QUOTE="ImagineGamer"]

IGN Madden 08

360: 8.7
PS3: 7.7

haha

i lie!! well that was uncalled for :cry: plus i'm only echoing what some posters on this thread have said, as i admit that i know nothing about this matter... all i care about is what the tech guy has stated, what makes me even more convinced is gamespot's coverage of the case (in their latest rumor control article)... as they have contacted ... ummm... someone else lol can't rememeber... go read the story lol

The bottom line: THe PS3 version runs at half the speed of the 360 version. End of story.

Whatever the reason, 360 games are consistently coming out better than their PS3 counterparts.

Sorry but your wrong. Oblivon looks superior on the PS3 and it is the most technically demanding game of any multiplat on both consoles. Armored core 4 also looks better on PS3 so does Fight Night round 3.So no not all multiplats look better on the 360. As far as Ea goes they are trash what do you expect from a company that basically releases the same games year after year and ports them to 10 differnt platforms. Hell they only have a couple decent dev teams thoughout that entire company one being the chicago team who created the FN series.

Oblivon looks better Period check the gamespot, IGN, Gameformer or Gametrailer reviews it simply looks better in every conceviable way and no it doesnt have more jaggies. It does however have better textures and much faster load times. And gamespot said AC 4 looks better on the PS3 I read the head to head prieview.

Edit: in the review it says the 360 version has slightly better particle effects. But in the head to head comparison it says the PS3 version has better textures. So i guess AC4 gets a draw. I didnt notice much of a differnce between eitehr one but my point still stands on Oblivon it is the most technically demanding multiplat and clearly looks better on the PS3.

Exactly what Ive been saying. Its not the technical limitations of the PS3. Its just that the devs dont understand the hardware yet.

Fanboys saying PS3 cant handle 60 fps should shut up after reading this.

asdasd

Wait a minute, you can read it the other way as well:

"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"

That sounds to me he is suggesting the limitations are from the PS3 no? Maybe I'm missreading what he said.
