What exactly is wrong with 30fps?
You can't see the difference between 30 and 300fps anyway.

30 fps still kinda sucks. Mine sticks at 30fps too. And goes to 60fps on intros.

Just letting you know your comp is way faster than mine. And if mine sticks at 30fps and yours does too, then it would have to be the game and not the pc's.

They have implemented a frame limiter which limits the framerate to 30fps.

Just to let you know, human eye can't see a difference of anything above 24 or 25 fps, so it really doesn't matter if you have 30fps or 300.

Yea I know that, but knowing your at 300fps makes you feel good and it gives you the real fps that the game is running at. That way you know how good your pc is running the game. At first I was thinking my computer is shizzle for running the game at 30fps but seeing as how I'm not the only one I'll never know how good my computer is handling it. But it is handling it good even tho its at 30fps. Its just knowing what your computer can actually run the game at.

This frame limiter may have something to do with the fact that you could get drag times of 16s with resolution on 640x480 and with an incredible framerate in the demo.

Then EA should fix that and remove the Frame Limiter
