lol... i agree, the prev one was more horrible..

^^Read your review, nice...
The fact that this game lags on high end systems and runs fine on mid- low range PCs (like mine) amuses me a lot.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

I agree there is not much novelty in the team game mode but I am loving Be a Pro mode Going to start a season with Eboue today

 

[Cool Joe]

^^lol. I started a new BAP season with my own created character.

@thewisecrab- Pavlyuchenko is there (because he's with Totts, I guess), but Srna isn't there.

Yipee. I'll rummage through the garbage for Pentium2 32MB Ram.

It should run at lowest in my pc as well? FIFA games have always been pretty scalable and run on very low hardware as well.
- Intel Celeron D 2.26 GHz
- 1 GB RAM
- Nvidia FX 5200 128 MB 8x AGP
- Samsung Syncmaster 920NW @ 1440x900 60Hz.

Will do even if it runs @ 1024x768 or ... 800x600 wil also do.
I really have to get a good upgrade but prices over here are high and hardware available is not latest. So it pisses me off.

 

[comp@ddict]

Well, it stutters(2008) on my P4 with 6200TC @ 800x600 too!

 

[Cool Joe]

^^Did you edit those INI files? You'll get better frame rates with that.

@klaw- 3D spectators are fine, and this works even in my sytem!!!

And although 3D grass is a nice touch, you won't notice it anywhere except the cut scenes.

 

[Quiz_Master]

Will it run on my i845 integrated gfx with 512 ram ? I guess not...
(Thouh I can play it on my Dell 1525 lappy but I hate gaming on laptop.)

 

[IronManForever]

^^ Not on your onboard.
One thing you can do. Connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse to your lappy.

Well, it stutters(200 on my P4 with 6200TC @ 800x600 too!

Liar. Noooo...
Lemme check System requirements lab. They are not that reliable but then again. And apart from SM3.0; FX5200 and FX6200 perform at a similar level. Some models of 6200 are infact slower.

^^Did you edit those INI files? You'll get better frame rates with that.

Could you tell me what kinda editing? I am going to get the game from you-know-where to check it out. If it works well, I may buy it.

 

[Cool Joe]

In your game folder, go to data\cmn folder. Open cfg_pc_h.ini and change the value of RENDER_RATE_MODE to 3. Do the same for the other 2 INI files.

 

[IronManForever]

^^ Thanx. But what does that imply? I wanted to understand what the mod actually does as well.
