The PSP version may have some of the best improvements, as graphically it is just a slightly stripped down look from the PS2 version, Frazier said. For instance, New York Giants star running back Tiki Barber holds the ball really high to avoid fumbles, and in the game that’s how his character will run.
For instance, on the Xbox 360 version you can see individual fans in their seats, the lighting is better and even the blades of grass now appear on the whole shoe, Frazier said.Īlso, unique to the next-generation versions, is that each runner will have his own distinct running style. Nevertheless, there will be noticeable improvement, Frazier promises. When you jump to the Xbox 360, that leap might not be as great. One of the challenges, Frazier said, is that when the PlayStation 2 and Xbox came out, there was a”huge graphical leap” between those versions and the generation before. “Now that they have had a year and a half under their belt, I think everybody is expecting this years to be much better.” “Whenever you have a new console, it’s always going to take time to get it to where it should be,” said Mike Hickey, an analyst with Janco Partners Inc. Some users felt it wasn’t quite up to the standard that they may have expected, but analysts say it may have gotten a free pass because it came out right after the new console was introduced. Last year, Electronic Arts released the first Madden game for the next-generation console. “Our team is so passionate about the game that we literally roll from one generation to the next,” Frazier said. Already, they are thinking about “Madden’08.” In order to keep themselves from being spread too thin, separate teams focus on different platforms. Each year about 150 people for the company work on the title. One of the features, for instance, will be the ability to control the lead blocker as you run.Įlectronic Arts understands that the game is the gold standard for the company. The overarching theme this time around is “Run to Daylight,” where the focus will be on the running game. “Madden’07” will be the 17th generation of the game.
