Try plugging your PS2 up to a regular CRT 480i TV via composite cables. No Svideo, just the good old yellow,white and red composite cables. Playstation 2 games were developed and designed for that configuration and if you play them that way you'll see just how great they look compared to playing them on a 40 inch LCD.
Oh, I'm aware of that. Thing is, is I have a PS3 that's backwards-compatible. And that's hooked up to an HDTV. And I'm not going to move the setup to a standard tv to play one game, when all my other PS3 games are designed for the HDTV setup.

I understand what you're saying, though. Just to me, the PC version looks alot better.....

An LCD display of any kind is capable of displaying sharper images because it's done pixel-by-pixel. "Crispness" and "resolution" are two different things--the same quality of image shown on a CRT and LCD computer monitor will be cripser on the computer monitor, but may also reveal the limitations of that visual image, so people perceive the blurred image as "better looking."

It's similar to the way crappy guitar playing can be disguised by covering it up with a distortion pedal...same concept.
Oh I know why PS2 games look better on a standard CRT and why they don't on an HDTV. I was just letting people know how to make their games look better and get arid of those awful jaggies.

Believe or not, alot of people don't know anything about this stuff.

I would like to get the PS2 version, but $40.00? I mean, really? It would be one thing if it were seriously worked on and upgraded but it's probably going to be a straight up port from last year with a roster update.

That game shouldn't sell for more then $19.99 IMO.

I thought the 2003-2005 PS2 was the pinnacle of the Madden series? I had fun with the 07 PC version but if I remember correctly you couldn't stop the CPU in the 4th quarter when it was losing. Is there anything shady going on with the 09 PS2 version?
