I think these are low, it said something about restarting the game for textures to take place but I didn't feel like it It's only practice mode with KG though.

I have an lcd so refresh rate is 60...with vsync off I get lots of tearing...with vsync on fps has a max of 30...any way to have fps higher but vsync on? I have an Nvidia 7900gs...

Thanks! Wow, looks too good for these settings imo. And what's with KG's elbow band? It gets disappeared on lower settings?

Looks like it does disappear, yeah. It's on for the Ultra High ones I took right after.

That's weird! I mean what's low settings got to do with disappearing bands? It's not that it's reflections or shadows or something, it's like part of the player.

Just another thing to render I guess.

I also note that the jerseys have no texture, they're just a flat texture on low. No holes or anything, that itself looks really bad. It looks a lot worse once the images are stretched full screen too.

Well, I said I would never play this game on my PC if I had a next-gen, but I only have PS2. Still I'm sure it wouldn't run well even at 800x600 and everything on low. Anyway I'm used to play games on medium-low with 600x800, so it wouldn't be a shocker anyway.

Does anyone know what kind of modding capabilities we have for the PC version?

If I can add my own coaches or at least solve my coaching moves dilemma (due to the low staff budget cap) then I may consider a purchase. I really like this game overall, but not being able to do what I want with my franchise on the console version has got me waivering on a purchase. Again, if modding is good, the PC may be my answer.
