I think I'm goin to stick with the ps2 version. I don't want to spend $60 on a game that i'm only goin to play for 2 weeks because the gameplay isn't up to par.

I might get the ps3 version when the price drops.

you're saying i will not be able to download the patches or updated rosters as they come out with the ps2 game? i'm an offline franchise player but love having accurate rosters to play with and don't have the time to make all the manual changes.

any suggestions since you say i cannot download updated rosters online (besides getting the ps3)?

There is no online for ps2 therefore there are no updates to be downloaded.

Check out my blog for the history of Madden PS2 version.

In my opinion, along with discussions I've had with long-time PS2 players it's pretty much felt the PS2 plays solid but at this point in it's life cycle is a roster update. And ratings dont matter as much because you wont get the expanded ratings that next gen has. They have also removed some features which people liked and replaced them with head scratchers.

I don't know if I'll get either the PS2 or PS3 version this year, maybe I'll just stick with NCAA. If anyone wants to PM me an update with this years PS2 features I'll update my blog.

If you do buy it then look in my sig for a link to slider settings. My guess is they will work just fine for this years version too (they havent changed years LOL.)

One thing I loved about the PS2 version is the running game. And if I have my facts straight EA took the guy in charge of the PS2 run block programming and installed him to work on next gen. Everyone is now talking about how great the new running game is so for me this could possibly make the PS2 obsolete.

Check out my video which shows how ruthless the run blocking in on the PS2 version. Especially at 1:14 in the video, the RT takes out 3 defenders!
