Madden press event is Sony-exclusive

PS3 Fanboy: "EA Sports is serious about earning cred PS3 gamers. Their upcoming press event for the 20th Anniversary of Madden is an exclusively PlayStation affair. The final playable versions of this year's Madden will be present, and only the PS3 and PSP versions will be shown -- no love for the Xbox 360 or Wii.

This is an interesting change for the sports company, whose games ran at a slower framerate on PS3 than Xbox 360 last year. However, ever since former Microsoft-exec Peter Moore took over EA Sports, we've been seeing more emphasis on the PS3 versions of sports games. For example, the PS3 was the system of choice when demonstrating NCAA Football at a media event last month."

i thought SSX franchise was dead for now (according to evilone, an EA employee on the NeoGAF forums)
Maybe I'm wrong.

Apology not accepted. I'm not buying Madden until they make a new engine. Screw the cartoon 18-inch arm character models. It's pathetic that the last gen games look more realistic than the current gen games.

2 - Buying this year for PS3

I haven't bought Madden for PS3 yet. I have been buying the game for the last 10+ years with the exception of the last two. Hopefully they'll bring the PS version up to speed. I really think I'm going to have to buy it this year.

Madden hasn't been good for the past few years. I'm going to skip out this year. Maybe next year I'll pick up Madden, EA.

7 - are people forgetting this is madden

the single most re-hashed game made by EA. This is the title where each year they rarely do anything but inprove a little graphics and a add the new roster.

The only way I would ever buy this game is if they add a fantasy league to it, where you create your own fantasy roster team and as the season progresses so does the the stats on your team and members.

10 - Peter Moore quote, "I absolutely love the PlayStation"....

Sony's PS3 is seriously getting to second place this year. there is no stopping the millions of sales all SUMMER. EA knows where they are getting the most money from:

166 Million PS2
156 million PS3
125 million 360
76 million Wii

USD dollars for Q4 2008.

I need a damn football game. MAdden running at 60 fps on ps3 means I'll buy it. I don't have a vendetta against EA or anything, I just wanna play games. And I love football, therefore I'm buying madden.

ahhhh, i can smell the 60fps goodness already... not that i doubted it

it would be hilarious if Sony decided to pay for exclusives and began with Madden :)

and btw EA- this ISN'T earning our respect

i don't give a sh!t about who PRESENTS the new Madden- make it run properly and then i might consider buying it this time

else il go back to Madden 07 on my PS2

2.1 - Agreed.....lets just hope they listen to gamers more instead of their executives and shareholders

Because they will suffer too if people find out about all the glitches..etc. I will wait for reviews and comments from people here before I buy the next game.

I haven't bought a single football game since 2k5. The reason, EA and Madden. I don't care if they released a different version of madden for the ps3 all together and it allowed you to go into the stands and drink with the fans. I still wouldn't buy it.
