For the PS3 guys, how's the lag in the online games when you don't host? Can you tell it's there?

Very laggy, ruins the game for online to me. I hosted 4 times, had all 4 opponents quit,I was winning all the games but I assume they couldnt deal with the lag creating the advantage.

Played 2 games as non host, finished 1, but wasnt fun. Quit 2nd , couldnt deal with lag added with host opponent NT diving every single play.

I was afraid that would be the case, though I held out hope that the later release on the PS3 meant the networking issues were being addressed. Dang Tecmo, you let me down for the first time.

I'll be honest, I don't think it's bad at all, if almost completely unnoticeable. I've hosted a few and played as the guest a few times, and the lag is VERY slight. I got used to it after a couple plays and then couldn't even tell a difference.

It's over-exaggerated IMO.

Just started a season today with New York and 3 of my 4 running backs went down with injuries! It was crazy. I had to fight to hang on to a 10-7 victory.

Biggest problem I had with lag was trying to zig/zag and make quick cuts on the XBox 360. Especially when you ran a run through the A Gap and wanted to pull back and shift up to an outside run. It was impossible to do make a change like that when lagging. Also the lag varied from not so bad to I can only make one move (literally) on every play.

Thinking about getting this, anyone still playing it?
