so what's the excuse for x360 to score the same as the PS3 version despite running double the speed? is it:

a) EA managed to get the PS3 version to run @ 60FPS.

b) It's teh new GS score system

c) X360 has higher standards.

d) other

* puts "according to GS" flame shield *

Tause it's the same game? They did give the 360 one a "best" sticker though, does that make you happy?

what do you think of the new scoring system? is it more / less informative for consumers to make a purchasing decision?

the only difference they mention between the two versions is "Thanks to a faster, smoother frame rate and better-looking player shadows, the 360 version of the game gets the nod over the PS3, which struggles to run smoothly even at half the frame rate."

the people who were going to buy NCAA were going to buy it regardless of the score it got.

Simple, the difference in frame rate wasn't a big enough problem to dock .5 off the ps3 version.

Yep, was about to use the same quote.

Basically with the new review system being less flexible and more general a few points of difference won't be reflected in the final score.

I was all for the new review system.....but stuff like this...as well as other multiplats in which they barely even compare the two versions (The Bigs and The Darkness) makes me think that the new Review System is Weaksauce and is too darn soft.

The New GS Rating system is absolutely Terrible. Completely Inferior.
