    Why So Small?

    Why is the text in this game so small! I can't read anything and I have a 36" TV. If this is some gimmick to make me buy a bigger TV it ain't working. Since I can't play in my living room.

    Yeah, I got the same issue bro. And it's the same with NHL '08 too. The games must be created with HD in mind or something. (I'm assuming the tv you're playing on isn't HD) I will have my HDTV by the end of the month, but for now, I'm playing it on a standard def tv, and i feel like an old man squinting to read the screen.

        Welcome to the world where things are catered towards HD TV. I don't like it, but us standards must accept it for now. I still think the text could be made a little larger, because no matter how clear the text is in HD, games like FIFA, NHL and I guess MLB 2K8 have too small of text.

        Be prepared for those with HD to tell you to get over it or fork out the money.

            I have a 50" HDTV in my living room. Only problem is I can't play in my living room.

              Get Mommy and Daddy to buy you a 50" TV for your bedroom. What's the big deal?

                Oh crap, I have an old 36 inch tube-ster that is barely considered a color tv, haha.

                Oh well.

                  .. I'm sure it's a gimmick to buy a new TV...



                  I actually like the size of the text, I have a smallish HDTV (27") that I sit several feet from, but I like how they can fit alot more text into more stylish and easy-to-navigate menus. They fit a lot into a simplified menu, which I appreciate, as many games have lost the art of easy to navigate and functional menus.
