Frame rates between demo and real thing?

[Esteban]

Hi guys--
I remember reading earlier posts that said the full version will likely have better framerates than the demo version. For those who have the game already, is this true? are you getting better framerates?

I have an Athlon XP 1700+, 512MB DDR ram, and a GeForce4 Ti4200, and I'm only getting 25-30 frames/sec (without even maxing out the details, and w/anistropic filter off). I consider my system to be more than adequate to handle Live, so why am I not getting smoother gameplay??

hey, dude i have the same EXACT system (cpu and vid card) as you. and getting the same framerates (25-30). so, it not you alone. Its those suckers at EA can't program to take advantage of newer vid cards. hope there's a patch to fix this soon.

for now, try turning off bench players and crowd animation off. should jack your framrates up to around 40-50.

you can read my post below for more on this subject.
