You act like we had a long drawn out discussion about it. I asked, he answered. Why are you crying? Damn

The game looks great. Crispness has been very desired for me after the console versions and the PC version gives you that. Controls are just like the console if you have a gamepad, which I do have the 360 pad. The menus are laggy like the framerate is very low, but that doesn't affect the control with the pad, just when you try to change things with the mouse.
I've noticed a couple of graphical glitches on my created players face, looked like he had a disease, the colors were all messed up and extra light. Another glitch was all the players clothes got messed up and they were running around with like scraps hanging off them.
The game runs good, but for some reason if I have the player details above low, I get some very slight skippiness. I can have all other options maxed, but the player details. I've also tried lowering everything else but have player details even on medium and the skippiness is still there. It's not a framerate issue, but just more the skippiness. I can't explain it. On low details for the players, the game runs flawless. Strange.
Worthy buy for $20 though.

Doesn't map my xbox360 buttons automatically and when you bring the icon passing up it doesn't say 'X' or 'A' but 'B1' which is/will be confusing, should have been more xbox controller friendly like the games for windows. There is stuttering in one or two menus, unfortunately for me the controller menu stutters so much I am unable to map my controls, the main menu stutters as well this is clearly a bug and someone said it will be fixed via steam.
Game itself looks like the xbox360 version a bit better, I have my pc connected to a plasma tv so I can compare both versions on the same tv but frankly didn't compare them in detail as of yet, I was busy looking for other things. The game is amazingly well optimized on the highest setting, very fluid and crisp, much better then top spin 2 that one was lagging on the pc, didn't shoot any free throws so I don't know if it lags on the first one like the console version. Plays like the console version, all the features seem to be in there except the online of course.
Found these files in the 'appdata' section Game Sliders.SLD, Roster.ROS, Player.USR, Settings.STG, Config.cfg, in the main folder you can find files like loading_movies.cdf,paplayers.bin,jukeboxmusic.bin, players.bin so I would say it's modable, with the right tools to open them which will come, there is even a onlineavatars.cdf which is funny because there is no online

I noticed this "jittering" once I turned vsync off. Even though the game is running at 80-90FPS it still skips around so I don't know why.
Got surprised with the game a few minutes ago by a good friend played quick game with the magic against raptors, lets just say I may never play my ps2 version again lol the game is great gameplay is solid on the laptop hooked up to our sharp aquos playing through the hdmi output. Display settings are at 1480x960 with all detail on high.
Can anyone please take a photo of the game at 800x600 with everything on low? Just so I know what I'm missing (my PC probably can't run the game on better settings).
Thanks!
Thanks!

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...

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

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.

From what I saw, people already tweaked the jerseys so they're more accurate and changed the color of stuff. Not bad for two days.
