Shoddy.

There's no other word for it. Offline, the game is superb, and when you can actually get into an online game this is the same case. But for the love of God, why does it have to be so goddamned difficult to get into a bloody online game?!

The frequent starting and stopping and starting again of loading, the way the game keeps crashing on the menu screens, the horrendously poor connections... I bet none of this would be happening if EA didn't insist on running their online games through their own servers instead of through Microsoft's. I thought the whole point of Xbox Live was that Microsoft controlled and provided all the servers?

I'll stick to the offline game with this, I think. I'm far from impressed with the online mode.

It's bad enough they included the EA DJ like in SSX3.

I'm glad I found out how to turn him off.

But their online service is currently worse than trying to connect 6 Xboxs to a Donkey to act as a server. It smells of Ass!
