EA Explains Madden 08 PS3 Sluggishness

EA has issued a statement in response to the USA Today Madden 08 article, explaining why the Playstation 3 version is comparatively slower to the Xbox 360 version. USA Today had this to say about the game,

“On the surface, the releases on 360 and PlayStation 3 look identical. However, when you stack them head-to-head, it’s clear which is better. Madden on 360 is fast and fluid, thanks to a sharp jump in frame rate that allows the game to move twice as fast.

PS3 owners, unfortunately, are greeted with a Madden that is sluggish in comparison. Action stutters far too often, particularly on injuries, penalties and turnovers. There’s also a half-second delay between pressing the hike button and receiving the ball in your hands. Even close-ups between play look dull when lined up against the 360’s sleeker cut scenes.”
