Yes...based on the impressions of 2 people and they game has been out about 2 hours...i think you are jumping the gun here.

Well you don't have to worry about me being scared off. I'm still buying it regardless. Unless it's already sold out in which case you won't see me posting a lot until I do get the game in my hands.

Can turning off the ball trail, and the announcers (I do anyway) make the frame rate better?

Well I play on sdtv and the game is very choppy in the field. Very noticeable. Uggh. I can still deal with it though.

I thought after all this wait, I had gotten a defective copy! And I had driven a long way, bought it at some ghetto mom and pop location with no receipt. Anways, I went to the PS3 main menu and set internet connection to "disabled" and the game started fine. Some people on The Show boards chimed in and said they had the same problem and it is related to what router you are using. Maybe it could be the same with yours just on a different game? If you want to read the thread I started on The Show board the thread title was "Defective! I may be SOL". Hope that helps.

Well, it seems that when I select Online, It stops at Signing in and I have to go behind my PS3 and flip the switch on and off. System does nothing until I do that. Curious if this is happening to anyone else.

I agree other than the fact that it doesn't take hours of play to see framerate issues...that is a killer for me...

Yikes, not what I wanted to hear. It's odd though since 2k didn't really touch the graphics of the game.
