    And to the gentlemen who said it can't replicate the sure volume of people who will be playing outside the a beta thats true, but you can control the environment get empircal evidence about what it can and can not handle.

      If only it where that easy Socom Confrontation had a private beta and a public beta and you see how it turned out in the beginning. Beta's are far from an exact science.

      Online will be better than last year how much so I don't know and there isn't anyone in this building who has an answer better than that at this time.

      Take if for what you will.

          Russell -

          Do you know if they worked on the mic for online? Like perhaps change the way you activate the mic? L3 is just a bad location as the mic gets turned on/off all the time by hitting it.

            Point taking thanks for your response, just remember Slant Six this is their 1st dance and SCEA SD this is not your first rodeo. I will give it a rest.

              As a network engineer for BT, I concur. I know all to well the dangers when a client expects the same performance based on beta results and/or manufacturer specs only to learn how the network truly behaves when faced with true load.

                Ok I just wanna clarify what this means. Does it mean that if I say run a 12 team league each owner can do a live fantasy draft from all the MLB players from all the teams?

                  I am not going to lie. Aside from progressive lightning... different camera angles for online, to make it a true experience like offline, was my biggest wish.



                  That aside, the framerate problems addressed, as well as the league goodness is exciting.

                    So since it wasn't mentioned, does a commish in a league still not have the power to replace a league member when someone drops out of the league? Leagues can really die when its members quit and can't be replaced.

I don't want to read about online play from these guys 2 years in a row its been virtually unplayable its just words on a box/blog at this point.
                      And that wouldn't be a true representation of online stability - 2, 5, or 15 guys on the server (in close proximity no doubt) will not load it like if there are 1000s across the country playing each other. Then your complaint would be "their video of them online was so much smoother than what I am seeing, what a farce!" LOL, or something along those lines.

                        Russell, another question...

                        Access to Quick menu (up on D-pad) =
                        With this addition, does this not take time off the 5-minute counter as does when you hit Start to enter the Full Menu?

                          Im in the if the frames arent smooth then its not worth playing boat, that being said if they are good, then i can get past some other things like the camera angles etc...

                              I hope the restrictions on starting a league have been loosened this year.

                                Yes it still takes time off of your 5 minutes. We just you the ability to make all your adjustments on the fly no need to hit pause anymore.
