    Wow, I would not buy the game for that reason. 30FPS is the minimum frame rate (average) I go for, and if the framerate is capped at that, then it's definitely a downer.

    EA forgot something relatively important with this port - they actually forgot to remove the 30 FPS limit which had been imposed on the X-Box version

    They could theoretically play it, but they're not allowed to... Not a power issue, but more of a software thing :p hehehe EA probably forgot to take out the fps limit in their rush to port the game... earlier sales on their part, but kind of dum.... hehehe
