Persistent Chat - ability to maintain a seat and interaction in a game room, even after leaving. This is perfect for League Chat rooms

What does this mean for in game chatting? Is it open mic?

Yeah...I can't believe they didn't quite explain themselves with this one. I take that as still no in game chat.

Re: Producer Blog is UP! - Online Info

I was hoping for more information such as mic, camera angles, batting view, framerate/lag, etc but we'll find out soon enough ourselves.

I play in a good league but we don't use the PS Network league setup. We had a question regarding rosters can you play with the weekly updated rosters or are you stuck with the roster when you created the league?

I'll see if I can find out.

There is in game chatting. Probably just like last year, you press in L3 and it was turned on. Problem is you hit L3 all the time and you keep turning it off so you and your opponent never really get to chat. A on screen mic indicator would be perfect.

Re: Producer Blog is UP! - Online Info

Those additions are fine...but give me a break with this "bu but a lot of people love this!!" mess. The game online has been unplayable for the past 2 years. The skeptism and slights are warranted towards the online team(in my opinion of course)

But again, we'll see come march 3rd..

P.S. I love how Street Fighter 4 plays online

I got no problem with guys questioning how well the game is playing online.
What does that have to do with guys saying..."who gives a crap?" about online though?

Re: Producer Blog is UP! - Online Info

I agree completely, civil skepticism and slights should be acceptable.

Re: Producer Blog is UP! - Online Info

I never had an issue with online last year and I most of the guys I played were from Europe/California.

So hopefully that sticks this year!

year 1, hey guys online doesn't work. I really wish you could get your net code to function properly I like playing bball online.

Reply: silence is the sound

year 2, hey guys online doesn't work, I really wish you would focus on making it work properly I do like the new addittions to sports connect, but what about being able to play

Repy: Silence is the sound

you get it Jim and Knight, I played nice for 2 years and nice got no response and I highly doubt me being harsh will either, so what do I have to lose.

I never said who cares about on line I said who cares more bs.

Re: Producer Blog is UP! - Online Info

Doesn't sound very promising.

They added/fixed a few things but the real problem last year was the lag. It also says nothing about camera angles online.

I really hope this year isn't another dud for online play

Yeah, they purposely don't want it to work, so that you can tell them like it is. These forums are going to crap here recently and it's sort of a shame. I like the devs visiting. If you think they're just "bs'ing" you fine, but the rest of us would like to keep them active on the boards. Afterall, they have improved this game every year. But, if you've got to take it to that degree with them..........

Mine was hit and miss. Have one game, no lag, have a game that looked stop frame the entire game.

Re: Producer Blog is UP! - Online Info

I see no confirmation of camera angles..

And we'll see come release day...Not trusting anything lag wise right now(unfortunately)

Re: Producer Blog is UP! - Online Info

I see jersey selection

But...

I see no mention of custom camera angles per player

*please be there*
