I'm waiting for the ps3 release but i do have a 360. So i tried the demo/trial game and i didn't know i could change it from 5mins to 15.... That will hold me over for a while

That sucks. I have played lag-free games as the hostee so it is possible but I have enough trouble finding anyone online to play as it is. I see multiplayer dying a quick death.
It's a $10 XBLA game so I guess no support is to be expected.
Damn it all.

I wonder if it's possible to get a refund on the game?

They should know better. In a game based heavily on reaction, lag kills excitement. I hope they did sell enough for a sequel, but I don't know if I'll be able to put a heavy amount of time into the game. It DID seem like there were more people available to play the last few days over the first couple.
Does anyone know the actual sales numbers for the first week of the game? It has over 2000 ratings, so I don't think it completely bombed.

I still may get this for offline play, but I'm not going to rush to buy it.
I'm with you DJ. I read through this thread. It is typical OS. Every one swears it is a must buy, and then about 2 weeks later, the game is dead to them. Patience is a virtue.
I appreciate the posts though. I would have bought the game today and was skipping pages ahead to see if there would be a patch. Now we know that Tecmo is a garbage company who just wanted to take your money based off their past success.

The PS3 delay has been a blessing in disguise imo. Offline might be ok, but what gets me is that this team/company doesn't even want to release a patch to fix the broken MP. I find that insane, so if there are bugs in SP mode that come up in a week or two, we will never see that stuff fixed.

It's not fair to consumers who spend $60-plus on a game to have to wait several months before the actual "finished" version of the game is completed. I think the gaming companies backed themselves into a corner with the tight deadlines they've imposed on themselves.
Do we really need to have the games a month or two before the actual season starts? I'd rather see that time spent further developing and testing the game. Release the game on opening day (any sport); it'd be a huge event and you'd be able to market the game well. The only "patch" would be accurate opening day rosters.

I'm fine with patches as long as there are no major issues with the release version and it could stand on it's own if needed. But yeah, I hate when they release an obvious unfinished game and let us pay $60 to be beta testers.
I'm not too down on Tecmo for not releasing a patch. From what I understand patches for XBLA games are rare if any as you get what you pay for. Multiplayer issues aside, they did create an excellent remake of the single player game. I think it was easily worth the 800 pts.

im bummed because multiplayer tecmo bowl is really where it is at.
This sucks! Multiplayer may be dead for me because of the lag.
Hmmm....maybe I'll try to join games and see if I can win ONE game with me lagging. That will be the ultimate victory.
On to the challenge.....

I was really looking forward to this game, but dang the MP does not work properly? It's a shame that paying gamers keep getting the shaft with half-cooked games.
It is becoming the norm with these gaming co's. Until some type of penalties, accountability,fines these things will continue to happen. They are taking advantage of us at this point. Plain and simple. Peace!!!
