FIFA is definitely better on the PS4. The PS3 version can take forever to load, get through menus and just generally sticks with the same old stock animations. It's not a good looking game.
The PS4 version? One of the best sports games I've ever played. I'm really excited for the FIFA franchise when it comes to next-gen. The physics engine is already unreal. I have some minor complaints about the ridiculous rubber-band AI, and the passing is still shockingly erratic, but overall it keeps me hooked.
Madden, as EE mentioned, is a complete disgrace. I'm disgusted with myself for purchasing the PS3 version and then getting the PS4 version for Christmas. There are some interesting new animations, but the players look like they were imported from early 00s Madden. They honestly look better on the PS3. I'm probably going to try and trade or sell Madden and just hold out until some more titles start hitting the shelves.
This may also be the last Madden I buy for a few years. It's nice they put owner mode back in, so that'll keep me busy but the gameplay just isn't making any major improvements and you can tell EA just doesn't give a crap because they know they have license and idiots will just keep giving them money. At least FIFA has to look over it's shoulder at PES (barely).
