Anyone get Madden PSP yet?

Super sluggish menus?

A little sluggish but I wouldn't base my decision to buy the game on that.

Funny this I just simulated Vikings vs. Bengals. The Bengals won 34-0 real score was 37-8

pretty cool.

Much better than TW. Loading only occurs initially which is long and navigating through the menus is not as bad as people are making it out to be.

There is a second delay during the playbook menu call up.

OK, Got the game and played it a bit. The menus are NOT extraordinarily sluggish. They are OK. However, the pause when running into the end zone and getting an INT may is noticeable. It actualy does freeze for a split second in both instances.

Are you able to control a blocker in the console versions? I noticed that you can do so in this version as there are controls mapped for certain typesof blocks(chop block etc).

for me, the pause on ints is good, it allows me to see if I have a return going.

To me, the game is as good as could have been expected on PSP. Everything major from the consoles (except vision) is pretty much in, and the game runs crisply with little or no slowdown. For me, the performance is better than the PS2 version, which I think is hella slow. The load times are ok, it takes about 30 seconds to get into a game, and about 15 to return to the menu from the game. Two places where they really could have improved are the minigames and the camera views. It takes a full minute to go from one minigame to the next in the minicamp competition, which is way too long for my tastes. It loads up one screen to load up another, don't get it. I also figured that since the game is on a widescreen PSP, there would be a widescreen camera available, or the camera would pull back more, but it doesn't. It is very hard to see your receivers this way when passing. I'm going to keep playing around with the camera views.

One other thing, does anyone know if you can use a ps2 roster save as your roster save in the psp version? If so, that would be fantastic because we wouldn't have to make a new roster for this version.

Did they include create-a-team in the PSP version?

EDIT: Just snooped around and found out they did not.
