Topic: Problems with MySims for Wii?

[DrHogie]

I bought MySims on launch day, and while the game has been really good so far, I'm noticing a very very disturbing performance problem with the game.  All throughout the game it will pause/lag/hang for anywhere from 1-5 seconds at a time:  walking around the city, trying to prospect, rearranging something in someone's house, etc.  And while it's hanging, there is a God-awful disc-reading noise coming from the Wii.  If I swap to another game, it doesn't make the noise at all.

Has anyone else w/ this game had this problem?  The only other place online I've looked for a thread on the game was GameFAQs, and there's enough people complaining about it there to make it seem like something's wrong with this game -- be it a disc production error or something wrong w/ how they arranged the information on the disc.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
DrHogie

Sounds like a disc issue, you should try calling EA and see what they say an if they can replace your disc.

It's just very, VERY unpolished... =\

Inefficient loading code it sounds like...

Since I don't feel like finding the other MySims topic, I might as well post my little crappy handycam videos here...Enjoy... =)

Clip 2 - "Intro to Item Construction," or "How Bill can screw up a bed"
Clip 3 - "Chef Gino," or "Look how g** MySims really is!"
Clip 4 - "Intro to House Building," or "What the HELL is Chef Gino eating?"

I get the impression this game goes to the load screen every 30 seconds

Hmmm I haven't put in a whole bunch of time in it, but I've noticed it loads quite a bit, though it is something that doesn't bother me that much. THe game is still wonderful.
