Interview: Madden NFL 09 - PS3 Version at 60 FPS

GameTap are eating steak in 30 Rock's famed Rainbow Room with players like Brett Favre and Matt Hasselbeck sitting just a table away, but all they can think of is one thing -- Madden NFL 09. Then again, it's difficult not to be thinking Madden when the new Favre cover is basically plastered on every wall and even hangs in Times Square.

That's why after lunch they caught up with one of the game's lead designers, Phil Frazier, as he filled them in on a variety of new features including Adaptive AI, bobble catches and online leagues. GameTap has the scoop.

wanna know more about Madden 09.

They should make better graphics.

[Shaka2K6]

Not only that but also best graphics,physics,gameplay,load times, frame rates ect.

Everybody is now making the most out of the PS3 power, even those game devs noobs at ea.

games now will be made for the PS3 1st then ported to the x360 where they will look like crap.

[deeznuts]

It took 3 versions of Madden to hit 60fps on the 360 (06-08) and now 3 versions to hit 60 fps on the PS3 (07-09) but nobody wanted to listen last year.

[chaosatom333]

EA on the bandwagon with the ps3. Good times rolling by.

[Fishy Fingers]

They actually said after Madden 08 released that 09 would be 60fps.

[TheREALHarryEtTubMan]

It better be. Those morons better be able to run little MADDEN at 60 FPS when COD 4 runs smooth as silk on the PS3... I have Madden should even be easier.

[Danja]

EA had no choice but to up there game this year with Madden on the PS3..if not they would loose alot more respect from gamers which was never there to begin with..

Dont think i'll be getting Madden 09 ne ways...

[CaliGamer]

Is this too little too late for Madden fans? I hope so, this game has been a rip off for years.

[LevDog]

Im one of the Biggest haters of EA...but If they can deliver on 60fps on Ps3.. and these online leagues arent some cheap 1 day tourny.. It mite just persuade me to buy it..

also if they fix the blitz problem and magic DB problem... Oh and the WR jet boots problem.. That would help to

[Rims]

Suck on it xbots LOLOLOL

[Shadow Man]

Yes Sir!!

[Voozi]

It took them 2 Maddens to get 60 fps on the 360 version
Madden 06 & Madden 07 (30 fps)

And took them 2 Maddens to get 60 fps on the PS3 version
Madden 07 & Madden 08 (30 fps)

If 09 was going to be 30 fps on the PS3 then I think we would have had a problem here lol

[gear24]

forget madden we need 2k back

[killer_trap]

what is this????? is it the sony good news day!!!! why didn't anyone tell me. shame on you all. now where the party at????

[jackdoe]

Meh. Improve character models, lighting, grass, any other graphical feature to make it look next gen for once and then we're talking. Hated the player shadows, thought the character models were lifeless, and thought the stadiums were cheap. Madden 08 looked like crap on both the 360 and PS3; only difference was whether that crap was running at 30fps or 60fps.

[nevelo07]

i can play madden with the ps3 controller its so much better for madden

[Douchebaggery]

60fps!!!! WOW that's revolutionary!

[Philip J Fry]

Finally a reason to pay sixty bucks for a roster update!!!!!
(he says sarcastically)

[ATLRoAcH]

Its Philip J Fry. lol. I LOVE Futurama.

[iceice123]

Set to run at 15fps 480p.

[Shadow Man]

and the ps2 at 30fps 480p

[Varsarus]

Honestly, I don't see the need to criticise the Wii, it's a great console, enough said.

[Bnet343]

Too bad the Xbox 360 version is now 120 FPS. Ha Ha! JUST KIDDING but that would be hilarious. Everyone thinks "Yes! PS3 and 360 version now run the same speed! Oh wait ... 120 FPS WTF!?" He He. :D

[heroman711]

lol, funny guy u are

[Ballsacteebaghow]

Its a crock of sh*t!

[Lanontscuz]

too little too late for me sorry EA not buying madden games anymore

[harpua]

so funny that if it said the PS3 was only at 30FPS this thread would of been littered with xbots. but so far they are cowering on the sidelines.

[ElementX]

Oh, a game is 60fps so suddenly the EA boycott is over? What about all the talk dissing EA and how they release the same game over and over and over every year? Suddenly EA is a crowd favorite again? I never quit liking EA.
