Madden 09: Madden Mondays Week 2: Snow Day! Weather

[Afrikan]

if anyone here posts at the EA forums.....can one of you ask the developer if the ICE TEAM (Sony Computer Entertainment first party technology group) really did pay them a visit and help with the PS3 version.....

I just want to know what they did over there besides help get this game to run at 60fps..... this team also help with MLB 08 which looks unbelievable......

I remember reading that this was suppose to happen....with either an interview with Ortiz, Peter Moore, or Jack Tretton....

I believe that Madden 07/08 do not use the SPUs... I'm wondering if Madden 09 does....... but I doubt it.....

The thing is, I do not believe the engine that they are using will support the proper player interaction to create a accurate QB pocket. They should have NEVER used that 10 year old gameplay/animation engine from the PS2/XBOX for the NextGen football games IMO. That engine is really starting to show it's age. Some guys are going hands on with NCAA this week so, We will know in a couple of days if the lack of a QB pocket is still in these football games. Like you, I'll be VERY surprised if we finally will have a EA football game with a realistic QB pocket.

I was under the impression that the next gen Maddens have been using a different animation/ gameplay engine.

Atleast I remember that being their excuse for the first couple of next gen maddens. I feel that current gen still runs smoother as a whole then next gen.

i remember that being said about a new engine for nex gen.
after awhile people noticed problems from previous gen popping up in nex gen.

so people then starting questioning the engine itself. if it's supposed to be new then why are issues that plagued the engine last gen still present.

me personally i don't think the engine they are using is new but then again what do i know.
