Strange... I can't adjust the shadow settings at all.. At least you guys could adjust. I'm using nVIDIA Geforce FX 5200.

If u put the game in a higher resolution the shadows and the jaggies look better.
but this cuts ur peformance nearly in half. raising/lowering the shadow settings doesnt help the low setting just cuts shadows from unnecessary objects the high just adds shadows to everything. I think EA just isnt very good at shadows

Wow thats kinda gay. if u dont like em just put the shadows meter on 1 it looks much better.
Or i think if u put AA on it might help... try it out.

That's because your card don't support "Pixelated Shadows".

Could someone post a screenshot of this?

The shadows on mine are obviously made up of huge pixels, but they're fuzzy and smoothed out round the edges - they're meant to be like that - so I'm not sure if this is the same thing you're talking about. This is just a shortcut used in console games to cut down on processing power, which never gets changed in the PC port...

If you've got enough spare processing power to push AA to 6x, you might want to set your resolution to 1280x960 instead. Edges may not be as smooth, but you can see a lot more detail in everything.

BUT make sure you set it to 1280x960 and not 1280x(something else).
1280x768 is a widescreen (5:3) resolution.
1280x1024 (5:4) is only meant for 1280x1024 LCD monitors.
1280x960 is 4:3 (same ratio as 320x240, 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768), so if you're using a standard 4:3 monitor this is the one you should be using.
