    Has anyone else had a problem with thte game freezing? It's happened to me twice so far (out of only 6 or 7 games played) (on 360)

    It happens at the end of the game, the first was just a play now, with about 15 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Then the next one was after my first game of my franchise, the game was actually over, while it was showing the final score, which pissed me off since it was a great game, stats wise.


    This happened alot with last years edition too, but I thought it was just because my disc had a scratch in it.

    I'm gonna be so ungodly pissed if I get the RROD now, my system better be working just fine for when Halo 3 drops.

    How long did it take you to get your system back? And can I just send my system in to get fixed or upgraded even if I haven't recieved the ring yet?

    If your XBOX 360 is close to the floor sometimes dust gets caught inside and the discs become hard to read...before you start to play the game, take it out of the system and clean it off with your shirt. I've been doing this with most of my games and my system's only frozen about 3 times in 2 months.

    I fumbled with Jones 3 times in one game going for the truck stick against Cornerbacks!

    Against most safties and linebackers i'll just cover the ball up...Fumbles have been insane.

    I don't know whats up with the 360. I had the same problem with mine. Monster stats and then the screen locks up with my controller being non responsive. I just sent the unit to the shop for the second time. My unit is sold as soon as I get it back though. I'm done with the regular 360 but I did go out and get 360 Elite with a warranty at BestBuy so FTW!

    i actually havent had that big a problem with fumbles. Maybe i just play a little smarter (sry if i sound pompous) First, i never highlight stick with a defensive player because they will fumble. Second, I dont highlight stick in a group of defenders or if im gonna get hit immediately after. In those cases ill use spins or jukes to try and fake out multiple people. LColes' jukes are nasty and can just kill anybody in the open field

    i got ps3 and have no issues. out of hours upon hours of gameplay i think the game slowed down for 1 second like once.

    fumbling is pretty bad but for the most part I dont have a whole lot of trouble with it. the only issue is sometimes if I hit the stiff arm button after contact is initiated. then it almost looks like a lateral.

    I've had it freeze up 2x and they were both after leaving the game paused for an extended period of time. BTW, did they really take away the mid-game save option??

    I've had no freezing but one weird problem when I put the disc in I get a white screen and it says please put this disc in an XBox 360 console. I clean it off on my shirt and then it's fine. It's weird. It happens every once in a while. It happened to me once before with Need for Speed Most Wanted

    I don't know why, but this reminded me of the original Nintendo cartridges. Remember you used to have to "blow in them" to make them work?

    Well I called up XBOX and got some jackass on the phone, he made me punch in some code to refigure the hard drive and then set the date/time correctly, he said that should take care of it.....only time will tell....

    Today it froze after a 48-7 womping of the Bills in franchise, with 2 picks returned for TDs and some great rushing numbers, which I really needed if I want Gore to get into the Pro Bowl.

    Yeah... I thought the same thing. I don't care if it happens now and then as long as my box keeps working smoothly.

    Funny story for you guys.. I bout my XBOX back in Feb. of this year... I'm on my 4th refurb from Microsoft.. I've had it all.. Rings of Death, Bad CPU, Disc Unreadable.. you name it.. Well, yesterday I call XBOX to request service for the unreadable disk issue again.. So I'm talking to the rep.. He says "Mr.. I noticed this is your 5th service call.. I'm going to ensure this doesn't happen to you again" .. I burst out laughing, and at the same time he does.. He knows the quality of product he represents is a complete joke.. And it sucks too because your out of commision for like 3 weeks when you get a refurb.. With the "Special Box" shipment, then send it back ..etc.. What a sorry ass product.. Carry on..
