Well, I haven't had any problems and I have been playing off and on all day. I did have some issues between crash games though. But never got booted, just had to wait for other players.

I'm ticked. I have to blame it on something. EA's the logical choice.

Yeah, Acclaim's online servers would have been much better.
I played Burnout 3 on Xbox Live for 2 hours yesterday. Got one complete crash (black screen), got disconnected 4 times, had a lot of problems with hearing everyone in the game.
Even during the Xbox Live beta test more than 2 years ago I did not get that many trouble, not even mentioning the fact that the interface of these half finished game was better than this hybrid monstruosity criterion created.
But... I couldn't stop playing, when it's actually working this game is incredibly great on Live.

you are complaining about online problems ON DAY 1?! give it a week. this is a lot better than the NCAA 2005 launch. it was literally unplayable for a week, then it was like a rock with perfect online performance. madden has been the exception, with little to no online problems from the beginning.
relax ladies, EA is going to straighten this stuff out. i want to know what major online games you fuckers are buying and being satisfied with on day 1 online, cause i have yet to play a game that fit that description (PS2, Xbox or otherwise)

no all those games were not without flaws the first few weeks. can't comment on the PC games since my PC can't run any new games (so i can't play them), but i know for a fact that early dreamcast onine games (nfl 2k1, PSO, etc) gave me the lots of problems early
Well as far as I can tell these are problems in the actual game code, not with the servers themselves. When you do not hear everyone's voice, or when you are kicked out of an already running game (hence no more communication with the main server) it's usually a flaw in the game requiring a patch. Patch I doubt (please please EA prove me wrong) we'll ever see.FrenchMovieTheme said:
As for day one (actually day minus quite a few days since I get games early for reviews) all true Xbox Live games could be qualified as being perfect since day one. PGR2 for example, crimson skies, rallisport 2 (some bad design on the voice support, but it worked), moto gp, you name it.
Lots of people havong crazy probles with the game feezing....

Of course the fact that I was playing with the people I play with ALL THE TIME and never had any trouble before does not count as a proof that the game netcode has a problem somewhere. Of course not, it's just a coincidence.shuri said:Some basic networking --
EA isnt hosting the game, but whoever is hosting is; so if youre getting disconnections, blame your isp and its shitting routing
The servers are not the problem there, the game is. And it's much more difficult to fix than just restarting a new fixed version of the servers (who also have their share of problems too)

....you do realize that your internet connection to even people you play with regularly isn't always guarantee to route the exact same way? ...and that you're susceptible to any problems along that path?
People seem to forget the internet isn't some set in stone concrete highway connection.
This isn't to say that the problem isn't the netcode...it might be... but that's not the only variable in this.

I will say this: if any of you experiencing these problems have used XBConnect or some other non-Live service with your Xbox/router in the past, you may need to reset to your router's default settings. After XBL 3.0 I had massive problems with constant drops from the service until I went in and eliminatd my XBConnect settings (from my failed attempts at getting Halo 1 to work online).
I can only speak for for Crimson Skies and ROTC since those are the games in that list that I own, but I wouldn't call their online performance any better than anything else I've played online. I've had dropped connections plenty of times with either of those games.Prine said:

Only problem I had was it would tell me "Can't communicate with these players" or something then it would just boot me back to the room list.No big deal to me...the game is way to fun to be complaining about a few minor online issues that will probably be ironed out by the end of the week.
