Russell, I challenge you to a game when this drops. You down?

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.

You cut me SCEA, you cut me deep! But I'll live.

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.

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.
