whenever i play an offline match the game stutters whenever the ball is passed to another player. I have tried various sound and video drivers, without any success, can anyone please help ?

BTW! I didn`t expereince this problem with the demo version.

same man i think it is because the game cant run at 1280x 800 resolution which is my pc's default res.
my specs are

amd turion 64x2 1.6
ati radeon express 256mb
1 gb ram

I have stutter issues when the cinematics are shown - (gameplay wise all is fine thankfully)

any idea on why that is ?

XP SP2
Pentium 4
512 MB Ram
GeForce 9800 or 8900 series (it's supported according to the booklet)
and lots of free disk space (many GB's)

This is strange, it appears to be related to the commentary, but the stutter is more noticable on my SATA II drive,than on my IDE drive. When the commentator speaks i get a momentary gameplay stutter.

I'm having the same problem. I can run the game at 1600x1200 with full detail, but I knocked it down to 1024x768 with medium detail to help combat the stutter. Didn't work. Aside from the stutter, the game is extremely smooth.

Probably you guys should try updating your Direct X to the most current version

Edit: Never mind.

I mentioned it in another thread, what ended up working for me was a clean install, and switching off cool and quiet mode for my AMD processor in the BIOS.

There is an intel equivalent IIRC. I have had no adverse affects to my CPU thermals, and I have a 8800 GTS 640 in a very small shuttle case ;)

Re - directX, the install disc contains DX10 with tehmost recent August updates, best to simply run it off the disc. It will run install any components you dont have..

good luck

Any help...?? :'(
