That's bizarre, web. I hate framerate problems, etc, and I have yet to have any. I'm more than halfway through the GP series, and I haven't had a dive the likes of which Need for Speed had.

Maybe I'm just having too tough of a time getting the bike stopped, lol. I don't have time to look around. I just haven't seen any of the lack of vertical sync or tearing or framerate issues. Oh well.

Seriously, the framerate dives and tearing are there, and annoying, but really -once you get past a period of muttering- don't affect the gameplay. I think it's worse in Need for Speed, and I can play that. As everyone has said, the braking is much more demanding, and I too think that is a good thing. I have to play more, but I'm very pleased with what I have seen so far.

One concern I have is that it is very obvious that there is nowhere the amount of people playing this game online than were playing the Xbox editions of the series.

Ditto for me. The frame rate drops are not nearly as bad as in the demo but they are definitely there. But after a few races I didn't really notice it that much.

I hope that enough people pick it up so that we can have some DSP races but if not I'll get my money's worth out of it especially since I didn't play MotoGP 3 on the the original Xbox.

Terry is your HDTV 1080i or 720p? Mine is 1080i and I'm wondering if the issues are lessened or gone completely on a system running 720p resolution. If yours is also 1080i then I'm at a loss because I'm definitely seeing frame rate issues. Like I said above it's nothing that makes it unplayable, just a bit annoying.

I run mine at 720p and I still have some terrible framerate issues with this game, so you're not the only one. Really a shame, too as this is one of the best looking 360 games to date.

1080i native resolution, and I have the box set to 1080i, so I don't know. I just haven't had an issue whatsoever, and I usually go crazy when I see them, so I'm at a loss as well.

OK, boys. This game is now going for $40 on ebay so there are no excuses.

I just bought a copy. I'm sure there will be a lot of NCAA talk next week, but it would be cool if some more people pick this up for some online racing.

I picked up a copy as well today and have been practicing off and on. Most of my time has been spent getting up close and personal with the track though...

anyone of you 360 boys still playing this game regularly? there wasn't many opinions of it posted here.

I love it, but I've been busy with NCAA and the WE9 league.

The devlopers admit that there is a tearing issue when the game drops below 60FPS. This typically happens when you are slowing down through the curves. I've never seen it happen while at at speed and I've never thought it to be a big issue and does not affect gameplay in my opinion.
