Details, details.

I think the morphing is called "graphical clipping" - didn't see it in the vid at all. We didn't see much QB drop backs in the vid, but I know in my 360 game I've seen the QB drop back while looking at the opposite end zone - doesn't happen all the time, just noticeable when it happens. I have Madden 360 but haven't picked it up in a while so my view should be taken w/a grain of salt. I thought the PS3 version looked slightly smoother. You can tell they tried to clean up some of the zombie walking post-play and some of the movement in general. There also looked to be a few additional cutscenens to convey emotion lol. The fact that players don't look like they're skating as much is what was most noticeable to me. Still there, just not as noticeable.

I agree with you, it looks more or less just like the 360 version. But it should be expected that it'll likely be slightly better. Unfortunately emphasis has to be placed on the word "slightly"

Gotcha.. I know what you mean.

Honestly, I was expecting more for the PS3 version though. But I don't know why.

Exactly.....why????

When in the history of multi-platform Madden has it ever really been different on one system from another. When has it ever been so much better on one system (of the same generation) that it made you wish you had the better version?

Genesis / SNES? No
PSX / Saturn? Not really
PS2 / XBOX? 6 one, half a dozen the other

Seriously people, we just continue to come full circle with each new generation. It's the song that never ends for crying out loud.

For all intents and purposes Madden has always been the exact same game on multi platforms and it will continue to be this way for eternity.

Figure it out already

Ok, I guess you could argue that with the first release of Madden on the N64 (no NFL license) people wished they had it for the psx or saturn.

I think it was because I keep hearing PS3, PS3, yada, yada, yada. I guess I thought EA would actually work on the title for the 4 months that they had to get it out. Guess I was wrong.

Yeah it does look slightly smoother, but it's only about a 5 min vid. I might not be Same game. A few annoying cut scenes are different but other than that same thing. I'm not a fan of the cut scenes because they do not match what happens after the cut scene passes and second they are a hindrance for the player on defense in 2 player games as all you can do is wait until the O player bypasses it. But then it's quick hike. You can't set up anything on D.

I didn't expect PS3 Madden to look better, but I do remember how XBOX NFL 2K5 was better than the PS2 version. Better, more detailed graphics on the XBOX, the ability to import music into your stadium, and actual video highlights as well. So it's not unprecendeted or completely out of the realm to believe it could be better. But I would doubt that the first Madden on a NEW system would be better than a Madden that came out on the 360 a couple months prior.

LB...what do you mean the cut scenes don't match...I understand they may not match after the play...but they seem to match pre-play...like when the QB or WR are walking to the line.
