    Yep, I got the game last night and I love it. I don't know what you guys are talking about the "slowdown". I couldn't notice it for my lif if I had to. I only played a few hours, but will be on it all day today, online.

    Slowdown might be dependent on system, camera view, game situation, etc. I noticed it twice in my two games last night (PS2), playing on press cam view. Game stuttered for 2 seconds after a rebound and outlet. Picked up right after that. Not a big problem, IMO.

      Re: My Review - 8 Hours worth of playing

      Like I said before, I really think ppl play the game just to look for gripes. I know its his opinion but some things he mentioned can be fixed with sliders and some dont seem like they can. But all he did was post negatives and this game has wayyyy more positives than it ever did.

      And the ratings? Why cant ppl just understand that the ratings are relative to what EA thinks a player should play like on court. Even if he's rated a 50, you can still pretty much play with him as he does in real life.

      I got sick and tired of the inflated ratings they had in years past.All most every starter was in the high 70s, 80s and 90s. Now teams look more diverse and I'm loving it.

      Like I said, just because he's rated low does'nt mean he totally sucks. And 8 hours is'nt enough time to really rate a game. Its more like a first impression.

                  it's a huge surprise and a major problem because the best players in the league won't have teams after 2 or 3 seasons on the game. even the first madden franchise's never had anything like this. it's HUGE for people who play almost exclusively in franchise mode.

                  but i agree with the rest of what you said, ratings can be edited &amp; sliders will help the other stuff, i played a few games and i thought it was a very very fun game, i really enjoyed it, it's just troubling to hear the FA bug....but the gameplay is very good IMO.

                        fossen, you have to wait a week before you say anything remotely bad about the game. right now everybody's just caught up in the hype, it seems your the only one whose put enough time into the game to see past the hype and excitement. in a good 5-7 days all the "this game sucks" thread's will come alive. its glad you can see past the hype and give honest opinions on the game, and not just justifying your purchase.
