Topic: Madden disc thrashing

[trip1eX]

Is it me or does Madden access the disc drive way too much?  The drive is constantly thrashing while playing you're Madden.  It rarely seems to stop.  SEems odd for this type of game.  I can see loading between main menus and modes etc.  But during the game?   Anybody else think this is odd?

My guess would be that they didn't take time to optimize the data layout on the disc, which happens when you rush a game out for launch.

Have you ever played Madden before? This is not news it is the way things are. Load times and disc reading and such are consistant with madden games, but then  again there is a lot to access and things change quickly so its understandable they are very taxing games on a system after all.




Now having said that is the game any fun? I was planning on getting it latter on but I really need to get this game for my friends and I dont want to get it if it sucks. I havent read any reviews either but i dont trust them anyways.
