    Universal Server/Network: A concept

    I wonder if the guys over at EA have ever looked at the possibility of developing a network that is independent of system i.e. a PS3 user could play a 360 user. It's definitely worth a feasibility study... that's the Engineer in me being "creative" LOL.

    It would be awesome, for sure. i feel like with the switch to next gen, us PS3 users have been a little neglected, or at least not had the same focus as the 360 users. still, I kinda like not having as many kids on PS3 online. seems like the PS3 crowd is a liiiitle bit more mature, even though we also have our glitchers and gimmicky schemes to deal with. just seems like the anecdotes we hear come mainly from the 360 camp...

    but yeah, I'd love to play against a buddy who has a 360. not sure if Sony and MicroSoft will want that or not.. or if they've already exerted pressure on EA to not go down that path or not...

      It would definitely be nice, but I don't think it's up to EA. It seems Microsoft has everything in a headlock when it comes to stuff like this. I think it would be sweet.

        i don't know if the 360 could handle the stress of being connected to a ps3.
        My score for Madden 13: 4.5/10

        3 points for graphics, 1 point for the passable commentary, and a half point for the boxart. I can give no further points since the all over the place gameplay would ruin it anyway.

          Please, no console wars today. We've been doing pretty good the last few days.

            They have PC and 360 games that allow each system to play each other. I don't see why the PS3 would be that far fetched.

                I'm a PS3 user as well. I've been reading some funny 360 stuff. I guess the PC relationship MS and Sony have is off limits as far as consoles go.

                  Microsoft is the reason why it WOULD be far fetched.

                    Thats not what I mean. I don't see why it would be far fetched to connect them. I know M$ won't let it happen.

                      One way that it could happen is Madden Nation wise. To date, the series has been 360 only. If the PS3 were introduced, they could the set up a grand champion through this type of interface.

                        Technologically it could probably be done (maybe by making the server think the PS3 was a PC (Maybe someone could hack a PS3 to do that right now...)). Obviously the main obstacle is Microsoft.

                          Why is everyone pointing fingers to Microsoft? Who says Sony wouldn't want their product possibly diminished by something like this too? Am I missing something here? Are you all Ms. Cleo's kids and can read Microsoft's mind?

                            Because the PS3 is bad enough that the 360 needs one flaw to catch up.

                              Cross platform gaming for Madden would certainly be great, but I doubt we'll see it anytime soon.
