After all the bad press and comments about the PS3 version of Madden 08's stuttering and framerate problems 2k have said that their NBA 2K8 wont have the same issues. 2K Sports PR Manager had this to say:

USA Today made the most prominent complaints on the issues with Madden 08:

EA's official press release 'excuse' was:

2k Games seem to agree:

So this give credence to what Sony has been saying about games being ported to the PS3. That, since the PS3 has been out for a while that developers will have more of an understanding on how to develop directly to it.

At the end of the day they shouldnt have had that problem in the first place and definately shouldnt still have suffered from it a year later.

I mean when Oblivion was coming out Bethesda were talking about downloadable content and how they would utilise it. Had no problem at all putting it on Xbox Live, but they had no idea how the Sony Network worked and had to delay the PS3 version for that reason... things like that shouldnt be happening at this stage.
