this may be a dumb answer but, make sure you are updated in every way possible (directx,vid drivers,patches ect)
this may help - it may not.
If it starts out good and gradually grinds to a halt I would be looking at a "memory bleed" or caching problem. This is often helped by a patch from the game publisher. I would write them and look for a patch. EA is usually good at responding.
Try getting DX7.0a ....then installing it and then reinstalling the game .since the game won't work if you had a dx under 7.0 when you installed it... and then installed 7.0 when the game was already installed...that's the only help i can give you
