I'm inclined to agree with you Chairman; it's now obvious that EA Sports has avoided comment on this and overlooks questions about it. Sooner or later they're going to have to face the music on it, but I'd wager that won't happen until release day, or later.
I'm curious, what would you rather have with this game, 1080p @ 30 FPS, 900p @ 40 FPS, or 720p @ 60 FPS? With Unity 4, I'd rather go 1080p @ 30 FPS, but with Frostbite 3, I think I'd rather go 900P @ 40 FPS. There's a huge difference, IMO, in the way The Golf Club feels (especially for putting) at 40 FPS, versus 30 FPS.
