Madden forgetting something?

Tough actin' Tanactin! BOOM! Oops. Wrong thing. Problem with memory on the GameCube? Read on...

According to an interview posted by Madden Mania, Jeremy Strauser, the Senior Producer of Madden 2002 says the franchise mode for the GameCube version of Madden 2002 might be a little lacking. Here's the pulp free juice...

The PS2, Xbox and Gamecube are developed together so generally, yes for those three. PC is developed independently, so while we may share some technology, PC is very different in terms of features and design. Although to be fair on the consoles, we will spend quite a bit of time making specific enhancements to take advantage of each console in terms of both graphical capabilities and interface. For example: we can have better looking uniforms and crowds on Xbox and Gamecube, on Xbox we can use the hard drive to make load times almost non-existent and on Gamecube we have to scale back how much is saved in Franchise mode due the memory card size.

According to our EA sources that I spoke to at E3, out of all 4 of the versions of Madden that will be hitting this fall...the GameCube's version should be the most visably superior. That's what we really like to hear! Unfortunately the GameCube version was a little to early on the gameplay side (meaning it needed a lot of work), but graphically, it was rather delicious.

Bring on the hard hitting pigskin mayhem! Thanks to IGNCube for the tip.
