*Kσn* · 07-11-2009, 11:28 PM

I can point out a list of flaws for you since I have personally played on a machine.

-Censors are VERY bad, maybe its the panels too, but I have never had to nail a arrow as hard as I could to get a pad to register. When you play the game and realize you are not hitting any of the arrows... something is wrong.
-LAG... Did anyone even look at the game when they shipped it out? It even looks like the demonstration struggles, because I only see the demo get Greats also. Its not audio lag either, its monitor lag. Too bad no one can play the game blindfolded to get high scores so the lag proves to be a large problem.
-Maybe its just me, but the pads play way different then the old ones as far as positioning yourself go. I feel like I have to lean farther out now when I play DDR X then when I played SuperNOVA or older games.
-Holds are impossible to hold down now. When my friend who is 220 pounds can't hold down arrows... Then someone made a huge mistake when making these pads.
-Great... you made the pads without brackets... but the panels slide so its pointless.
-Sound System pretty much sucks, SuperNOVA is just as loud if not louder then DDR X.
-The lights are so small their pointless. I was very disappointed when I saw the downgraded cabinet with no light sticks, led Lights, or the correct lighting for the subwoofers. These small changes to the cabinet make it more fun to play and attractive to look at.
-No e-amuse, No way of obtaining updates, and no explanation for the USB Slots. Are they even usable, if so how do I even go along using it?

I also have a few videos of when I played to show other how much I stuggled on the new cabinet...

^Saber Wing (A), I got a PFC on the Test cabinet in Naperville, but I can't even AA it it after 10 rounds of playing on the new cabinet. Once again, there is a huge problem with the lag.

^Why Not (AA). I AAA this song every time I play it normally, I could barely manage a AA even when going to the music.

So to start off with, fix the lag. I know the pads can be fixed easily if they are REALLY worked on. The I would worry about the pads, e-amuse, and then the other small problems.

Also Thank you Konami (and Eddie, for talking to them) for actually wanting to hear eveyones thoughts on the new cabinet, because there are some major issues.
