I was going to hold off on a release day purchase to see how the stability and penalty calling was but based on the look of the demo, I won't buy at all unless the release is different or patched, and despite lots of comments about this, I don't see that happening. A little disappointed because I never thought the graphical look of the title would be an issue as everything looked great in trailers and gameplay vids.

I haven't had the poor resolution that other people have been talking about on the PS3 but I would have to imagine that it will not be like that in the retail version. I know EA has made some questionable calls in the past, but I just don't see them releasing a game that looks as bad as other guys have been saying.

And as far as penalties go, it is certainly a concern but it's hard to gauge what it will be like after some tweaking of the sliders. We only get one 5 minute period to play per game and if I recall correctly, the penalty sliders are far from maxed out.

I know I'm willing to take the risk and make the purchase but I can definitely see where you're coming from.
