Too much float?

Can too much float cause knee pain? I recently switched from SPDs to Speedplay X2s and have some pain on the inner front side of my knee. I have never had any knee pain while cycling. I am pretty sure this is due to cleat placement, but I wanted to make sure excessive float couldn't cause it.
I think the problem is how loose you are supposed to leave the cleats on the speedplays. By the end of the ride mine have slipped a bit, and my left leg is positioned further out on the spindle. Just wanted to make sure its not the float before I focus solely on the cleat position. Thanks.
