pre-snap choppiness

[jmurphy31]

When playing vs CPU, it seems the game gets choppy or sticks right before the snap. Anyone else see this

Re: pre-snap choppiness

This happened to me too the first game I played. I was a little concerned but so far the second game has been smooth

Re: pre-snap choppiness

Im having the same problem too with it freezing in offline games when u press A to snap the ball, Happens just about every play, thought it was my xbox. Also some lag freezing during play. Was thinking about installing it to the HDD to see if it still does it.
Also tryed to go online and when I hit B to back out my Xbox froze, had to shut it off.

Yup, i see it quite often actually right before the snap. Its quite frustrating, especially when youre trying to jump the snap and stuff. This has got to be fixed IMO.

Re: pre-snap choppiness

Guess its good news it is not my xbox, but bad news because it does get a little annoying...Thanks for the feedback. I guess i will try to install it on my hard drive

Re: pre-snap choppiness

Will I have the game installed on my 360 HDD and I still once in a while have choppiness aswell. But nothing really major to worry about.

Re: pre-snap choppiness

Install the game on your HD. Some people have had issues with older 360s. The issue happens on my 3 year old 360 in basement but not newer Elite upstairs. I think this issue has something to do with how quickly the disc spins and the stress on the disc drive. Older systems have issues handling the pre snap especially in 3rd and 4th qtrs.

Once I installed on HD the issue is gone.

Any official word on what causes this?

It's not official, obviously, but I'd have to agree with the guy who just posted. Sounds like it's a disc loading issue if it's happening with old 360s and PS3s, since both consoles have rater slow loading disc drives and a HDD install seems to fix it.

EDIT: I'd also like to add that this could explain why it wasn't a big issue in the demo.

Thanks I will install it today

Re: pre-snap choppiness

Yes I'll install it on my HDD as well. I played a game last night and it was awful with every snap being delayed. This has to be fixed if the install doesn't work.

Re: pre-snap choppiness

Trust me guys- install works.

I noticed this when I first got my review copy and played on my older 360. Contacted my people at EA directly and they had not run into the issue, nor had anyone else in our media online dynasty. I have no doubt this issue is tied into the disc drive of your particular system. The game is probably spinning so fast that the system misses when it comes to that particular line of code.

Like I said, once installed I never had this issue, nor did I have it on my newer Elite console (6 months old).
