Madden 06 PSP videos

Damn it. I wanted to bash this game like when the pics came out but this looks pretty good in motion. Near the PS2 version with the onfield action....

There is a developer interview on page 2.

That's a problem with GAF. Why judge everything from a few screenshots.

You must have not seen the earlier Madden 06 PSP screenshots. :P It is night and day difference between the screenshots and these videos.

The only thing that scares me right now is the small hitching seen in the videos. I hope this is happening due to a non final version being shown. But EA sports PSP games seem to have gameplay speed problems.....

EA is pretty lazy with first effort sports titles on new hardware. I think 07 should show vast improvement, despite being 1.5 years away basically. Once they have the engine up and running for 06, then all they have to do is tweak and refine, which is where they do their best work, imo.

It is nowhere near as bad as the screenshots. The video is WAYYYYY better. It looks almost exactly like the PS2 version. Why aren't more people posting about this? When the screenshots came out everybody wanted to say something bad about them. Why not talk about the video?

Agreed everyone was so fast to Photoshop wallguy into the shots (which was pretty funny cause he fit in so well...) but now that the video is out where are all the haters?
 
I don't think it's that impressive. At all. Maybe others feel the same way. Shit, that other thread burned me out enough on Madden PSP. I'm done with it.
 
I don't think it looks very impressive either. Not sure why people are saying it looks like the PS2 version. There just doesn't seem to be much detail on the players. I think it's going to look worse on the sharpness of the PSP screen.
 
not a fan of circle shadows but this destroys any football game on any other handheld. by far, obviously. it'll be damn good fun on the road! and wi-fi play? no seeing each other's screens..? YES.
 
As long as they tighten up the controls this will be a buy for me. That way I can play my franchise from work and transer the file over to my XBOX (you can still do this right)?

No. You can only spawn your franchise mode between PS2 and PSP.

Also, from what I've read, it doesn't seem like the PSP version has a franchise mode. You just spawn your franchise from PS2 to PSP to play.

I don't think it looks bad, infact, I think it looks quite good for a handheld. However, I personally can't see that the screenshots are worse than the video:

After reviewing the videos, I think this actually looks considerably worse than those early screenshots when you take into account all the jaggies. The character models are the same ugly ass stuff we saw before, just zoomed out and only showing actual gameplay rather than close-up reactions and replays.
 
One thing that does bug me though is that it seems like EA is wasting the widescreen function of the PSP on this game. Why do you have to zoom out? :/
 
I don't think anyone is saying the player models for Madden 06 PSP looks great. Do you have a video for Madden 2002 N64? I never played N64 madden games, but what I remember is the ass animation from the PSone versions. I would figure the N64 animation would be the same. The PSP version, while having shite models, animates closely to the PS2/Xbox/GC versions so it looks decent in motion.

Best I could find was Madden 2001, sorry:

Choppy, but not horrible in my opinion (All things considered).
Click to expand...

Thanks. Take a look at the first and ten video for the N64 version, and then look at any of the PSP videos, and you can see a big difference. Character model proportions are much better in the PSP version. The models aren't as blocky. The animation is the big difference though. So much smoother on the PSP version.
 
Im new to GAF as a poster but it amazes me how some people will hate a console or handheld purely based off of who makes it. To everybody that says that the PSP version of Madden is crap you know yourselfs that you are lieing. I thought gameplay is where its at. Well this game will offer gameplay comparable to the PS2 version.

Why do you have to down everything on the PSP? Or is it because its made by EA.
 
Like it or not, graphics do matter. Especially since they're usually a good indicator as to how many resources were allocated to the project.

It is going to be the best looking portable football game on the market, by far. What is your point? :P

Thank you and that's exactly why it will probably sell BIG this holiday season. I can see the Madden PSP selling easily 500,000 copies. Its by far WAY better looking then the DS version. And it connects to the PS2 to transfer data.

There are a lot of people that would like to complete their fanchise of Madden 06 on a long road trip or at work like me. That alone will make me buy this game.
 
Sure, it'll be the best football sim on a handheld, but it's only competition is another EA game so it's kind of moot. And no matter what way you cut it, this game just looks lazy.

And here is a video if you didn't see it. What is it about this video that you think is really bad, that can't be tuned over the next 7 weeks?

Found some info from the Gspot!

http://www.gamespot.com/psp/sports/maddennfl2006/preview_6129155.html

Some excerpts:

One of the best inclusions in the game is the ability to transfer files between the PSP and PS2 versions of the game. If you own both the PS2 and handheld versions of the game, you can share a number of different file types between the two games, including rosters, profiles, and spawned games. Rosters and profiles are well and good, but sharing spawned games may be the best reason for the PSP version of Madden to exist. In a nutshell, transferring data between the two versions of the game will let you take your franchise mobile, play your franchise games on your PSP, and then resync your games with your PS2 once you get home.

Madden 06 for the PSP will also include a full franchise feature, one that will present a twist that's unique to the PSP game, in the form of an assistant coach feature. Here's how it works: Each week you'll have a number of goals to pursue in that week's games. Examples of these weekly goals include netting 300 yards, gaining 100 return yards, or ending up in the top five for offensive production for the week. Depending on your progress against those stated goals, you'll have development points that you can spend on team members to upgrade specific attributes for players. For the truly hardcore franchise players, this will be a key method of developing talent on your team.

In addition to the 10 minigames found in the console games, the PSP version of Madden will include eight minigames unique to the handheld.

Online, the PSP game will feature two-player football action in both infrastructure and ad hoc mode, and you'll also be able to post your high scores from the minigames to online leaderboards. Using the same EA Sports locker concept, you'll be able to post your franchise information online from either the PS2 or the PSP version of the game, which you can share with friends.

Sounds nice. Online portable Madden. :D
 
I wasn't at E3. From what I've read it looked like crap at E3. Download the IGN videos though the game looks much better. It doesn't come out till the end of September so EA has time to get the frame rate down.
