Hmm... If I turnoff widescreen support, will it just show 4x3 on my 16x9 screen?

I believe so. I have also read that another possible solution is to change the camera from NCAA to Classic. I'll try it and let you know how it works out.

I tried using the Classic camera angle. That solved the slowdown issue for me.

I have an 30 inch widescreen Toshiba hdtv and there is some major slowdown on the xbox version. Changing to the classic camera did nothing for me. I'm gonna have to go back and switch out for the ps2 version. This is very disappointing.

Apparently slowdown can also be caused by playing in a larger stadium (more graphics on screen). In ncaa-cam mode, plaing at home with Michigan was slower than playing at Oregon.

Here's a question for everyone--does any game you play online count towards your ranking? I played(and won) a game, but when I went into my ranking and stats after the game was over there was nothing. Can anyone think of a reason why this would happen?

Switching to Classic view definitely speeds up the Xbox version.

Are there enough people in here with live to do a league?

That would be fun!

Unranked games don't count towards anything.

Just a heads up - The full 1A rosters should be up on the operation sports site sometime this evening or tomorrow at the latest.

Make sure you up the WR catching sliders. I'm using Michigan and Braylon Edwards (3rd highest rated receiver in the game) and Avant drop passes constantly.

Im playing XBOX on a 53 in WS HDTV and I'm gettting no slowdown either. Another tip is to just use stereo sound. I'm more pissed that I keep trying to sign on to EA Servers after signing into Live and I'm getting "this username is in use" when I logged off earlier this evening
