    What is the point, that you don't want to hard wire if you don't have to for other games? Fine. I said it may be inconvenient for some but if you really want to play online it's an easy fix. If it's all the same and you don't mind not playing online, fine too. But it isn't impossible to get a smooth game by any means.

      Here is the link to the game:




      It takes a little bit to get used to the timing for online because it is definitely different offline.

      Also, my internet is cable and my connection is wireless, modem is D-link (gamers lounge).
      Glad your first game online was great.

        i was listening to your game while you was playing. I cought it in the 7th when u was down 2-1 i think. I was like "what...hey that guys name look familiar " lol

              I was looking for it but I did not see it anywhere. I could have sworn they said in a blog that we could view it. Maybe when the game officially ships we will see it.

                I thought they said during the team select menu, but maybe it won't be there until the 3rd

                  Perhaps Russell can shed some light on the PING stats, such as it being tuned and therefore released with the upcoming patch.

                    To me that seems too late, no? We should be viewing it when everyone is lined up in the lobby rooms. To be honest I did not focus on that screen, it could have been there but it must have not been obvious if it was there, lol.

                      I asked this in the impressions thread up above but now that I saw this one...here goes.

                      Can anyone verify if we can run an online dynasty/season, a la NCAA Football??

                        you can listen to other games being playing played. Just click on the person name and select sportsconnectlive, and you will hear all the commentary.

                            I don't see why you wouldn't be able to play wireless this year, I played a majority of my games wireless last year and the game played basically the same as my wired connection games.

                            Qestion for you guys who get a lot of lag consistently:
                            When you play online, do you make sure that there is no other Internet activity? When I play any game online, I stop anything that is downloading or uploading. The only thing I have that is using any internet bandwidth is AIM and that is it. You should not expect to get smooth games if you have torrents downloading and other people using the internet. Even if you have a really great cable connection, you'll still get a lot of lag.

                              Playing last game online was awesome for me. I would get lag, but the same rate as about any other sports games. Last year was def one of my favorite games to play online? This year can you do a quick match with custom setting? (like HOF, NGP etc)

                                A good point.

                                Example 1: Multiple connections using the same wireless gateway running background processes while your away from the computer. This could be either good (AV scans/updates that run automatically) or bad (Malware/Spyware that is constantly making Internet calls).

                                Example 2: Who else is online while you are playing? This could be either someone else in your household or an intruder (This holds true for people in more congested areas). Is your Wireless router secure? More often than not people are piggybacking off unsecure ISP connections therefore decreasing overall bandwidth for the person paying for that dedicated pipe.
