I know the Giants wont be making the playoffs this season :D

Yeah but McNizzle and Eagles are taking the division with ease :D

Who is does the Giants have at RB? Who do the Giants have at QB? Average players that's who. Eli Manning is nothing but Peyton's genetic left overs.

"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."

Man the Chargers are probably laughing there way to the bank with those pics they got. Didn't Shawn Meriman come from one of those draft picks.

This is a direct reflection why monopolies on a licensed franchise are bad. If NFL Gameday was still available it would have prevented this. I am a Madden fan that prefers the dualshock layout with rumble. You have to admit that NFL Gameday almost buried Madden with 3d football gameplay.

This also tells us that Madden is still a PC engine that they have to force feed the PS3 in order to run. As long as Peter Moore is the chief I don't see anything changing (optimizing the PS3) in the near future.

The 360 Version is the lead version man. Whatever version that is played at the Madden Challenge is the most publicized version. That version is the version you see at every tournament, all competitive play, Madden Nation and all official tourneys. Simply put if you play Madden seriously you played on Xbox for the last two years and now moved up to 360 this year. A lot of 360's will be sold this year because the competitive players have to switch systems.Blackbond

I would like to point out, that there may be a good amount of Madden players that already have a 360. Is Madden posed to be a system seller? Honsetly, I don't think so. And concidering that Madden is (as gametrailers review calls it) one of the most complex games to play. Does it really appeal to the casuals or hardcore audience? Either way yes, it's going to sell like hotcakes on the 360, but I don't really see it pushing systems too much. That's what Halo 3 is going to do. But then again, my theory could be said the same about Halo 3. Too bad GTA4 isn't coming out this year. Now that's a system seller no doubt.

Gameday had its moment to shine and then Madden came back and stomped it into the ground. Gameday was crap ever since. If Gameday was still around it wouldn't have prevented anything other then to make Madden look even better. Your a Madden fan that prefers the DualShock layout? Sorry man but the Dual Shock layout has been out of style with Madden for 2 years now going on three.

Its not going to push a lot of systems but it will recieve a significant boost. People that were using Xbox's the last two years on the Madden Challenge will need a 360 now for competitive play. This number isn't anything like 3 million though so you're right its not gonna be a huge jump in sales.

i know and casuals will think that to play madden08 they need a 360.i guess its good marketing for m$

we all know madden will run 60 fps for ps3 next year. then its game over. Poeple dont want to pay to play madden online. I'm sure by now ea has enough time to build the ps3 version from ground up instead of porting it for next year.ff7isnumbaone

No we don't all know that. I believe next years version will be ported to the PS3 just like this years. It makes sense seeing as the 360 has a much higer install base, and 360 owners buy more gameson average than PS3 users.

I have a feeling MS and EA came to some kind of agreement. I wouldn't run it by MS to have paid for the better framerate. It just doesn't make sense for EA to focus on such a small part of the market without a reason to do so. Regardless of the best version, Madden stands to sell alot more copies on a Sony platform. I wonder if MS didn't pay for advertising in exchange for a slight upgrade over the PS3 version. They seemed to love the idea of having the big three all releasing on their system. They only had one problem and that was the PS2 was resposible for alot of the sales that made those games the big three. Why not offer something like free advertisement so they can claim to have the best version.

It may not hurt neither that the XBox seems to be a sponsor of the NFL.

Why have all cows turned into conspiracy theorists this gen? LOL. Seriously. Your theory of EA focusing on such a small portion makes perfect sense, except for the fact that the 360 has the largest intall base of all next gen consoles, so it makes sense that they would focus on that platform instead of the PS3. So they have a damnedgood reason to focus on the 360 version instead of the PS3.

Sony= 130 million units

MS= 10 million units.

Why would EA want to make people think the best version of their game is only available on the XBox again?

Dude, the PS2 is dying. The PS3 is the futre, not the PS2. You can't use the PS2's sales when comparing the PS3 and 360.... Which is what I am doing. The 360 will continue to be the premiere version as long as it stays in front of the PS3 in it's user base.
