==Screen change== Here's my take on it. I think that in this case, 16:9 is the baseline aspect ratio. 4:3 is hor -, and 16:10 is vert +. To the end user, that means that the transition from 4:3 to 16:10 is both hor + and vert +, while 4:3 to 16:9 is just hor +. It's an extremely unusual way of handling widescreen. No other game out there behaves this way, and I had to expand my database program to account for this behavior. But I don't see this as flawed in any way. As for the game menus, can you provide three comparison shots? One at each aspect ratio? ==Cut-scenes== Does the game have any cut-scenes other than company logos? We don't care about those. == Grading == Calculated grade: C+ Potential grade: B+ Major unresolved issues: Is 1280x768 supported? Minor unresolved issues: *waiting for your response* Summary of widescreen-related flaws: Some HUD stretch Cranky's coverage estimate: 87.5% |

I picked a rather strange game to be my first review. :? and those FMV's I picked, LOL, it's not the "EA Sports" logo, it's the start of the FIFA 08 starting movie, where they do all the tricks and such. Alright, here 3 pictures of team selection: 4:3 
16:10 
16:9 
And here are 3 Main Menu screen: 4:3 
16:10 
16:9

Ok. It looks like with the FMV and the 2D screens, 4:3 is correct and 16:9 is correct, but 16:10 is a squashed version of 16:9. The system doesn't really account for this behavior as a flaw unless it's part of the actual gameplay. So: == Grading == Calculated grade: C+ Potential grade: B+ Major unresolved issues: Is 1280x768 supported? Minor unresolved issues: Are 1280x800, 1440x900, 1920x1080, and 1920x1200 supported? Summary of widescreen-related flaws: Some HUD stretch Cranky's coverage estimate: 88.5% |

Game crashes for me if I use 1920x1080 in locale.ini, did anybody have either success with this or by adding 1920x1080 to the desktop shortcut?! |
