I'm starting this thread to collect issues users are having with the PC version of FIFA 07, in order to gather them all together and ask EA about them as soon as they open support for it.
Any issue you're having with the game, feel free to reply. Once enough questions have been gathered, I'll send them to EA and post-back with their replies.
--------------
CURRENT ISSUES: 12
--------------
1. Why is RENDER_RATE_MODE set to 7 by default on cfg_pc_h.ini as well as the other configuration files, instead of 2, that makes framerate remain high and smooth?
2. Why does the framerate suddenly lower during in-game cutscenes and replays? And no, disabling DOF and other effects should NOT be a viable solution. I have an Athlon 64 3700+, 2GB of RAM and a GeForce 7600 GT, and I can't expect lower framerates in FIFA than those encountered in games such as Oblivion. Any patches on this issue expected?
3. Why is there no widescreen support? Players with widescreen LCD screens would like to fully enjoy their games on resolutions such as 1680x1050.
4. Why are the kits so low-res this year, again?
5. Are there plans to enable next-gen features (such as graphics, gameplay) on FIFA 08, as far as the PC version goes? More and more users are upgrading their computers as the requirements of newer games increase, and the current generation of graphics used, although being low-res feels already too much like WC 2002, is just too old. The excuse that PCs do not have enough processing power is merely a lie.
6. Why is there only the last goal reported in the current score pop-up? Either show all goals as done in Champions League, or remove that feature. You could also use a smaller font to give more space for info on those pop-ups.
7. Why are the player names on their kits so jagged?
8. Why does Direct-IP gaming provide a much worse experience in terms of lag in comparison to other EA games of the same season, such as NHL 07?
9. Why are the faces so little detailed in comparison with other games, such as NBA Live and NHL?
10. Why can't people play on Direct-IP using the "New" controller scheme?
11. Depending on what qualifications are teams added in the Rest Of World league? Many teams that managed to enter the latter stages of the UEFA Cup and Champions League are missing.
12. Seeing that so many users have problems with their controller being unsupported natively by FIFA, why don't you change the controller screen to include the option of manually setting each axis, thus making every controller compatible?
