Seriously? Deep Blue?

I hate to break it too you mean... someone brought this up over on the Total War boards as well... but a "Deep Blue" for Madden would be near impossible, and the PS3 couldn't run it.

Chess has a limited number of possibilities. Each piece can only move a certain way. There are only so many positions on the board. It's turn-based. Facing is irrelevant. Everything's organized into neat little squares. None of this applies to Madden. Doing this for a football video game (or, as the case may be, a real time tactical war sim) is damn close to impossible.

And thus, it's not a fair comparison.
