I had the same dilemma. I ended up going with the ps3 and am happy with my choice. Graphics are beautiful. Much better than last year. The fans on the sideline still look god awful but I guess next-gen or not 3d rendering 110k fans in Neyland stadium might make any system chug a little bit. I am worried about the teambuilder thing *I know you didn't ask, but the team I created disappeared. I was reading posts on the ea forums and some people created 10 teams that just disappeared. Crazy stuff. The gameplay and graphics are great on the ps3 my friend.
