You probably noticed that the debut of Madden NFL ‘08 happened on schedule for the Windows platform. Did you know the Mac version should have been released the same day?

Madden for Mac still languishes at EA, as does Tiger Woods Golf ‘08. They might be out on the Mac in September or October:

When pressed for an explanation, the EA spokesperson said there were no definitive reasons available for the delay but alluded to a possible lack of experience with Mac development. This was possibly prompted in part by the company’s years-long absence from the platform.

In speaking to AppleInsider, the spokesperson nonetheless claimed that four ports of previously released titles — Battlefield 2142, Command and Conquer 3, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Need for Speed Carbon — were already available in stores. As of press time, however, EA was unable to provide the name of a single store at which customers could purchase any of the titles.

Instead of six EA titles arriving this summer for Mac gamers, a big fat zero has arrived so far.  EA must think everyone on the Mac platform is still trying to get through Pathways Into Darkness.
