First off, got the game last night and played around a little. Couldn't get much game time in though as it was my 8th wedding anniversary. Overall impression is that I like it (more challenging pass defense, HFA, expanded roster size, etc.).

Here's my question for anyone who may be able to answer it. I had to hit the reset button several times (about 15 minutes worth) before the game would load. I noticed the same thing recently with MVP Baseball. Is my system just old and used (3 years) and in need of maintenance or is it something else? Any feedback is appreciated.

sounds like your system

Since it was your 8th anniversary, it could have been your wife doing some sabotage.

On your 10th anniversary, it probably won't even start up.

im thinking its your system or your wife

but more so your system i bet....

really, did you go to Harvard or MIT to figure that one out! the question is, short of buying a new system, is there a resolution to the problem?

Yes there is a fix. I had the same type of porblem where my disks could not be read by the console. Use a dvd lens cleaner on the ps2. They run about $10. Another thing I sometimes do is stick use a vaccuum to the back to the PS2 to clear out any dust that builds up in the system.

I sounds like your system is getting old. Soon you will be getting the dreaded "DRE" (Disc Read Error). You must have one of the first playstations, when they were $299.

You may want to look at purchasing a refurbished one. Most places have them for $99 - $119. It could even be cheaper if you trade in some old games you dont play anymore.

Thanks for the help. I'll follow your advice and see what happens. I really don't want to purchase a refurb!
