The PS3 verison is far better, and takes much more skill then 360







So
I lost in the ps3 finals this weekend on some dumb ****, congrats ced,
but regardless when I was playing I couldn't help but notice, that this
was easily the far superior version of madden this year...

why, you ask?

BECAUSE IT TAKES REAL STICK.

As you guys the know, the trigger button on the 360 this year is the
new no stick rocket. The WR turns around basically on his own on 360
with the trigger if you pass lead it right, and you pretty much just
gotta hold Y.

Well on PS3, that trigger doesn't do ****. You gotta manually turn your
dude around yourself. That means no more gay post, no more gay 15 yard
no stick rocket streak, no gay out route in which most use trigger for
instead of turn him around yourself, and no fade route.

so on ps3 like i said you turn your dude around on your own...corner
routes, out routes, streaks and curls pretty much all that can be
rocketed and you MUST HAVE STICK to pull them off..except curl cuz
thats just easy.

its not just that though, the AI on ps3 seems to work better..not sure
how or why this is. it's kind of like how even the WR direct snap
glitch doesnt work on ps3 naturally for some reason.

so i hope playersbowl has a ps3 verison this year cuz i'll def be in
both...IMO the game should actually move on to the ps3 version after
the turks because thats the far superior game this year and takes real
skill on, not just press the triger and hold Y. just my opinion

thank you Mr.Kstar

K-Star...the dude that got bounced outta madden nation by Dynasty.....says that he likes the PS3 better than the 360 and that it takes more stick? okaaaaayyyyy!

Is this dude talking about Madden08? You cant pull a trigger and turn some one around. You have to move the stick in a circle to turn him around.

no, he's talkin about how it's alot easier to RC on 360 than PS3, cuz it really is. On PS3 we have some different s*** happen to us where our guy will stop, then cut back to the ball instead turning in the motion like on 360. PS3 also has some animation when throwing it to the sidleine that screw us up and results in INT's/

key word is basically. Cuz when you hit that button or watever, your QB trows it into the corner, and ur WR turns to the corner to catch it allowing an easier RC

Haha I was there when he lost. He folded at the end when he went offsides on a 4th down play giving the guy the first down and the game.

oh that was the one you were at chris? nice.

gotta suck to lose a MC like that.... but i think its GREAT a big name like kstar is showing the PS3 some love....

and a lot of the replies on the original post were agreeing with him. people were saying they hope the tournament scene moves to PS3.

peep this article i found researching the PS3 and the XBX 360 from a game developer fellas:

PS3 vs. XBOX 360


Being a video game developer (I develop for both, Playstation 3 and XBOX 360) people ask me almost daily which platform I think is better. These are my personal feelings, in no way does this reflect my employer.

Short answer: XBOX 360.

Long answer: Price, performance, visual quality, game selection and online support. I think the XBOX 360 wins in every category.

Price: This is obvious; the XBOX 360 core is only $299. The PS3 is around $499 for the 20GB version. It comes with a hard drive, but you don’t need a hard drive to enjoy a lot of great games on the 360 so I think it’s fair to compare both core systems.

Performance: On paper, the PS3 is more powerful. In reality, it’s quite inferior to the 360. Without getting into too many details, the three general-purpose CPU’s the xbox360 has are currently FAR easier to take advantage of than the SPU’s on the PS3. I suspect a few years down the road some high budget, first party PS3 exclusive titles will come out that really take advantage of the SPU’s and do things the XBOX 360 can’t, but I don’t think the console is worth buying based on this speculation (for some it will be though, we'll have to wait and see how these games turn out).

Graphics: The XBOX 360 is a clear winner. The GPU is more powerful. It has more powerful fillrate, and far more pixel and vertex processing horsepower. Part of the reason is their choice of memory, and architecture of pixel and vertex procesing. I can’t get into details but the same vertex shader will run much slower on the PS3 than the XBOX 360. The 360 also has a clever new way rendering high definition anti aliased back buffers. To accomplish the same effect on PS3 is prohibitively expensive. For this reason I think many games will have no choice but to run in non-HD resolutions on the PS3 version, use a lower quality anti aliasing technique, or do back buffer upscaling. The end result in all cases is going to be noticeably worse image quality.

Game Selection: The XBOX 360 has a huge head start here. 1 year is an eternity in gaming. Almost all multi-platform developers have made the XBOX 360 their primary platform due to timing of release-to-market, this means the games will look and perform better on the 360. The PS3 versions will be ports of the 360 versions. (The opposite was true for XBOX 1 vs. PS2). The XBOX 360 is also far faster to develop for due to better development tools (massively popular Visual Studio .NET vs. proprietary, buggy PS3 compiler and debugger), better documentation, and easier architecture (3 general purpose CPU’s vs. 8 specialized processors that require DMA). Timing has also caused all next-gen middleware developers to make XBOX 360 their primary platform, and they will ‘add ps3 support’ as needed. This support will probably be inferior to the XBOX 360’s due to manpower and more importantly, demand. It’s this catch-22 now that will continue to drive the 360 forward and hold PS3 back.

The other obvious point here is that right now the Xbox360 already has a very impressive line-up of titles on store shelves; the ps3 just launched, and has virtually nothing of interest. Also, many 360 games are already discounted. PS3 games are all full price since it just launched.

Live: Microsoft’s online support with XBOX1 was phenomenal. They built in-house experience, user base, facilities, $$ commitment from executive level (since it proved successful), and most importantly, feedback from 100,000s of XBOX Live subscribers. Playstation 2’s online support sucked. They are now playing catch-up, trying to emulate Xbox’s model. But they had their hands tied just trying to make the PS3 work, it was incredibly ambitious (blu-ray etc.). I haven’t seen it yet, but I seriously doubt the quality will be anywhere to the level of XBOX 360.

HD Content: The PS3 comes with one built in (blu-ray). The XBOX 360 offers HD-DVD as an add-on for $200. You probably don’t care about HD-DVD right now. But you will soon (The quality between DVD and HD is comparable to VHS vs DVD, if you have the right TV) so I suggest paying attention to the war that’s begun. There are two formats: HD-DVD and BLU-RAY. Basically if you rent a BLU-RAY DVD from Bockbuster, it won’t play in your XBOX 360 HD-DVD, and vice versa with the PS3. The implications of this format war would require another article on its own. But as far as the consoles are concerned, the XBOX 360 wins because the DVD player is a separate unit. Playing movies is very taxing on the DVD reader, and let’s face it. In 3 years when your PS3 DVD drive goes out due to playing lots of movies (PS2 was notoriously bad about this) you will have to go buy another PS3. With the 360, you’ll just chuck your HD-DVD player, and go buy another one at the store. In 3 years standalone units wlil probably only cost about $99-150. Another point for the XBOX 360, is that I don’t know who will win the format-war, so I would rather wait with purchase of a HD player. The PS3 doesn’t give you this option.

PS3 controversy: Shootings, Wallmart fights, $15,000 Ebay sales etc. My advice is ignore it. It will pass soon.

WOW!! after this...i just may be staying put with my 360.

Do you see anything about the NEW GFX for the ps3 games, or anything about RROD?
Do you see anything about how HD DVD isn't even in stock anymore and how Blu Ray has taken over? Find me something newer before making a decision.

Did you see how they fixed the problem resulting in the RROD? Did you see that I have never seen a Blu Ray DVD because its a movie?

They may have fixed it, but since most people bought the 360 when it came out, they have gotten RROD. and if you've never seen a blu-ray thats ur fault, cuz they look amazing

I have played madden on both systems.. So I know what they are both like..I might have a little of a biased opinion but I believe PS3 is the better system. No online fees or anything like the. Also, the gameplay is quite different.. I can RC every play all game on 360.. But there is no way I could do that on PS3.. Just my opinion

it's better to us cuz we own it instead of 360. 360 is so easy to RC on, and I've never understood why. The PS3 should be the same, but on the 360 there isn't as much stick involved.

You actually need a lot of stick to stop it thou. Its hard to stop the FB Dive and HB Lead Toss and then have to deal with the fade and out route rc.

there are a few people who play on both systems on this site.... and im pretty sure everyone of them says they like playing madden on the ps3 more (except wayne, but you guys can have him haha).... and if you want an honest answer, ask your peers, and trust your peers.

its tru ... takes more stick skill to play on ps3

one think is u cant do the MIR catch on ps3

on 360 its so easy to do

but ye

i actually learned how to RC on ps3

when i started dis year

yea i play 360 at my friends dorm at school, and rocket catching is easier, but it still takes stick on either system

Like I said it still takes more stick to play D on a system that is way easier to RC on.
